Lois and Clark share a quiet moment in the Daily Planet newsroom in this scene from one of Fleischer SUPERMAN cartoons produced for Paramount Studios in the 1940s. If you've never seen these terrific cartoons, you're really missing a treat. I love 'em! |
Me too! I own the whole collection. Fantastic animation and I really love that Golden Age feel to them. Superman was not as god-like then, so every plot didn't have to hinge on Kryptonite (in fact, none of them did). And the music was great. Warner Brothers spoofed it with a Bugs Bunny wartime 'toon (Super Rabbit or some such). And even the Superman theme from the Christopher Reeve movies sounded inspired by this music.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more Hank. The Fleischer SUPERMAN cartoons are among the best interpretations of the Man of Steel in any media outside of comics. It's like watching a Golden Age comic come to animated life. Simply superb. Thanks for reading and commenting. I do appreciate it.
