Editorial Reviews:
|
These adventures were the first time that Superman (and his alter ego Clark Kent), Lois Lane and Perry White had been seen in animated form since they were immortalized in the iconic Superman short films of the 1940s. In addition, this series marked the animation debut of Jimmy Olsen and classic Superman villains like Lex Luthor and Brainiac. This animated Superman was forerunner show that lead to all the subsequent animated superhero programming.

Summary: Classic Superman - Finally Released!
Comment: What a thrill that this has been released! I grabbed it immediately - simple packaging (the cover art is a little TOO simple), complete series AND great value for money. For me, the episodes were just as entertaining as they were when I first saw them as re-runs in the 70s and early 80s. As much as I enjoyed the Superfriends in their different incarnations, I prefered the Filmation Superman - I always found the Superfriends' Superman as being a bit of a wimp!
The Filmation version of Superman runs a close second to the Fleischer animation in my opinion, (although by modern standards the animation may seem limited and stilted) both had great storylines and their mood reflected the comicbooks of the times. If you're a Superman fan, this is a must - the Filmation Superman often gets overlooked because of the Superfriends/Hall of Justice dominance through the 70s and beyond, yet is a superior Superman (what a tongue twister).Great value for money - enjoy.

Summary: Brings back the memories
Comment: One thing that I think makes this Superman stand out from the rest is his voice. His character voice is cool. The Filmation Batman and Aqauman also have cool character voices. Another thing is the sound track. In my opinion all of the Filmation cartoons have cool music, especially at the end credits. I'll be 47 yrs old on the 9th, and all of these Filmation cartoons are fond memories when I use to watch Saturday morning TV.

Summary: UP UP AND AWAY
Comment: Thid series goes back to how Superman was and should be where notheing except Kryptonite can weaken whereas the new Superman seems to be wea. The annimation may not be what we are use to for todays standards but they are still fun to watch and enjoy by people of my generation and todays generation to see how animation has come a long way. So again for people who like classic animation. This is a must.

Summary: the new adventures of superman
Comment: i recommend this collection just to see the style of animation that was used. i know there was better work way back then and also watered down material later on. i found the overall quality of both sound and video on this to be good.

Summary: Great (and Nostalgic) Superman Cartoons
Comment: I Enjoyed these very same Cartoons, back in 1966-67. It was Great(and Nostalgic) seeing them again. Some of them are even based on actual "Superman" stories from the Comic Books of the Fifties and Sixties. A Wonderful stroll down Memory Lane!
