Customer Rating: 
Summary: superman max & dave fleischer complete cartoon collection
Comment: excellent series from the early 40's, and the best presentation so far. a background extra on the production of the series would have been appreciated
Customer Rating:
Summary: Still classic
Comment: Actually bought this for my young nephew, who's hugely into super heroes ... even though these are from the 1940s, he still loves them, and ran around the house singing the theme and recounting what happened in the episodes. I love the classic artwork and excellent animation.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Best comic book cartoon of all time.
Comment: Let me start this note by saying I hate superman. Well perhaps hate is a strong word, but I dislike Superman a-lot, he is too strong and too unstoppable and even too good for my taste, a man with no wrongs, and in my eyes a man as such does not exist, and so it was in the eyes of the creators of the character in the 40's, making the source material for this cartoons a man, stronger than any man, faster than any man, but still not so perfect and strong that he is not able to get hurt.
As far as the animation, being from the 1940's allows it to only be hand painted cells, making it beautiful, and stories that dare to be fantastic, and yet simple, with plans that are grand in elaboration, but with very simple targets, like stealing diamonds but wi th giant robots.
This cartoon was the base for the Batman Animated Series, which has been the base for every cartoon since it came out. so take a look at the cartoon that provoked the animated revolution of the last 2 decades.
This DVD has all the shorts with dated references to when the episodes came out. A true most get!

Summary: superman
Comment: this is how all animation should be made and produced. only Disney was greater. item received as described.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Perhaps the best Superman ever
Comment: With a quality of animation heads and shoulders above anything done today, these 40s Superman cartoons are in many ways the definitive Superman. Watch him fight art-deco robots in a city the looks more like Fritz Lang's Metropolis than anything that ever existed.
the episodes are short without much of a plot but the visuals are second to none.

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
