Superman Cartoon - Showdown - WWII



Uploaded by: DangerNerd
Video Description:
This one is really fun. The subtitle could be Stupidman Vs. Superman... No joke.
If anyone knows the title/composer of the opera in this toon, could you send it my way, so I can add it in here?
Where did talent go these last 60 years? Now we have computer programs running on vast arrays of physics simulators, that don't do as well as these folk did in 1941.
I will be posting about a dozen of these World War 2 era Superman cartoons over the next week or two.
Please pay close attention to the animation. The animation of the people isn't the best, but any time there is structural drawing or something that was considered high-tech for the day, the animation is incredible.
I don't know how to describe it really, but there is a mixture of realism in the cars and buildings mixed with a sense of fantasy in the other elements that just really, really WORKS to make these a fun time.
There is a lot of politically incorrect stuff in some of these, so please remember the times these came from before whining about that.
This is where we came from, not where we are now.
Produced by the Fleischer studios, the same folks that brought you Popeye cartoons, and the early ad piece "In My Merry Oldsmobile" which is also available here.

Keep in mind that the Golden Age Superman didn't fly but jumped really high. Caught off gaurd in a free fall like with the trapdoor would've been a slight problem for him.
He litterally leapt tall buildings in a single bound. If the original Superman flew, that phrase would be meaningless because a flying character doesn't need to leap.

If you look at the 1941-43 Superman daily and sunday comic strips, you'll realize that the cartoons are incredibly faithful renditions of the Siegel/Shuster concept down to the smallest details. Truly great animation!!

I know. And it makes more sense. Krypton was bigger planet with bigger gravity than earth, and thats why Sups can jump high because of the earths smaller gravity.

Not necessarily. The ability to leap tall buildings just means that when not using his power of flight, his legs have immense strength.

originally superman couldnt fly,he could leap great distances. it was because of these cartoons that his ability to fly came about. the people over at fleischer studios asked then national periodicals if it was ok for them to make him fly as it was easier for them to animate that than to constantly have him leaping.
I've seen most of ... ( 3 weeks ago by dnp97001)
I've seen most of the Fleischer cartoons and I've never seen Supes fly. Personally, it would have been cooler if he flew. Do you know of any particular Fleisher episode that shows him actually flying and not leaping.

He flies in "The Mad Scientist" ep
