Superman - The Superhero

Superman

Superman is a fictional character regarded as one of the most famous and popular comic book superheroes of all time, and one of the first to embody several of the aspects modernly associated with such superheroes.

Already celebrated for their ground-breaking cartoons featuring such characters as Koko the Clown, Betty Boop and Popeye, in 1941 Max Fleischer and brother Dave set out to create their most ambitious series of cartoons to date.

At the reported production cost of nearly $100,000 each, the Superman cartoon series were lavish Technicolor spectacles with superb animation, strong plots and stirring music scores.

Produced between 1941 and 1943, the series features Superman battling mad scientists, monsters, spies, robots, evil crooks and even a dinosaur!

The Superman animated cartoons, commonly known as the "Fleischer Superman cartoons" were a series of seventeen animated Technicolor short films, released by Paramount Pictures between 1941 and 1943, based upon the comic book character Superman.

The first nine cartoons were produced by Fleischer Studios (the name by which the cartoons are commonly known).

In 1942, Fleischer Studios was dissolved and reorganized as Famous Studios, which produced the final eight shorts. These cartoons are seen as some of the finest, and certainly the most lavishly budgeted, animated cartoons produced during The Golden Age of American animation.
