Description:
THE MAN OF STEEL IS BACK! When America's favorite superhero flies back into theaters this summer, you can catch the original animated adventures on DVD with the complete 1941-1943 Paramount Superman cartoon classics! Legendary animation innovators Max & Dave Fleischer were the first to bring Superman to theater screens, only four years after the comic book hero's debut. Capturing the comic book spirit better than any live action film with the stunning early art-deco look of the original Superman/Action Comics era and a film noir feel, these stylish adventures proved so powerful that they influenced every Superman production afterward. Now restored to their best possible quality, these 17 animation masterpieces are presented in superbly clear quality! FEATURING: Superman (Pilot) Mechanical Monsters Billion Dollar Limited The Arctic Giant The Bulleteers The Magnetic Telescope Electric Earthquake Volcano Terror on the Midway Japoteurs Showdown Eleventh Hour Destruction Inc. Mummy Strikes Jungle Drums The Underground World Secret Agent

This collection of fully restored, 1930s animated shorts from the legendary Max Fleischer are a real treat. For anyone who has grown up associating the Superman character with different phases of art direction in Superman comic books over the last 50 years, or best remembers the look of the Christopher Reeve films or the old television show, these 'toons will be a mini-revelation. Expanding on cues from the first generation of Superman comics, Fleischer immerses the man from Krypton in a marvelous blend of art deco, William Cameron Menzies-inspired sets, and edgy compositions that can't help but remind one of Fritz Lang-ian paranoia. Everything is oversized, blocky but rounded, ferociously modernist, and all too vulnerable. Superman's very function as a character in these highly dramatic and richly colored fables is both defending the overbearing, urban progressiveness and capital excesses of a young 20th century while also reassuring us that progress is not as indomitable as a man--at least a Superman. The DVD includes a bonus Fleischer short, "Play Safe," plus information about the restoration process, three choices of sound, complete history, synopsis, and credits. --Tom Keogh

- Transfers not as good as Bosko Superman CollectionI just purchased the 2006 "Superman: The Ultimate Max Fleischer Cartoon Collection" I was quite disappointed to see the image quality and the saturation of the cartoons were not that great. The colors were over saturated and the film transfer of the cartoons were not sharp and they lacked detail. Maybe they got rid of dust and scratches somewhat, but overall they don't look that good. Though I did like the extras and the DVD booklet enclosed with it.
I spent quite a bit of time comparing ... Read More

- Piece of Cultural History.These cartoons are a piece of our cultural history. They demonstrate a quality and style which is quite remarkable. They also seem to have had quite an influence on Paul Dini in creating Batman: The Animated Series in the 1990s. The stories are not of the same level we expect today but are charming in their simplicity. This is a delightful collection that shows us one of the earlier interpretations of our iconic hero. Funny enough, over all these years the Lois Lane we know and love seems to have changed ... Read More

- Fleischer Superman CartoonsThis DVD contains all of the vintage 1940's Paramount/Fleischer cartoons. The cartoons themselves are still entertaining and iconic appearances of the Man of Steel, although a couple of episodes are rather unkind to our Japanese friends. I enjoyed the opportunity to finally see all fourteen of these cartoons at last. If you're a fan of classic animation or of the Last Son of Krypton, you owe it to yourselves to pick up this set.
