Wow, what a landmark of animation. This is by far one of the most influential cartoons of all time. It pioneered the use of rotoscoping and inspired many visionaries, not to mention it's the direct inspiration of Batman: The Animated Series. A must watch for any animation or superhero fan. I'd highly recommend giving this video by kaptainkristian a watch as he explains how great this series is far better than I ever could: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDMQ3tXNKgM

**T**_heme_- 9.5/10 **R**_ewatchibility_- 5.5/10 **A**_cting_- 7.5/10 **K**_inematography_- 8.5/10 **T**_ime_- 8/10 **Total** - 39/5 = ==7.8== Up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane, it's.... an animation pioneer. There is a reason people who have seen these theatrical shorts, tout them so strongly. Visually, there are few animated pieces to this day that compare to these shorts. They almost look like oil paintings come to life they are so beautiful. It's not without it's flaws though. The visuals and the length hide the simple stories quite well in the Fleischer Studios shorts, the same can't be said for the remaining Famous Studios'. WWII propaganda plagued four of the episodes with some casual racism sprinkled on (Jungle Drums... Dear Lord). Lois' behavior really hindered me on some of the episodes. She was abhorrently selfish to the point of making situation worse to advance her career because she knew Superman would save her. But when a story worked, it worked wonderfully and is recommended. Top 5 Episodes: 1. Showdown 2. The Mad Scientist 3. Mechanical Monsters 4. Magnetic Telescope 5. Underground World

"This is a job for ... Superman !" Found this on the Superman II Blu Ray as an extra. What a little gem. Great animation and I like that they used only minimal dialogue and let the pictures tell the story. Absolutely worth the two and a half hours to watch this.
