Fleischer Superman Cartoons

"Brimming with action and special effects, beautifully drawn and colored, braced with fabulous background paintings and brought to life with realistic movement, the first superman cartoon is considered by many to be a masterpiece if animation art. It was deservedly nominated for an Academy Award."

"The 17 original Superman cartoons were shown monthly at movie theaters, from September 9th, 1941 to July 30th, 1943. Considered classic animation even today. Astonishing attention to detail and authenticity, especially when dealing with Joe Schuster’s character designs."
