cubicle gangster posted:lol I watched like 5min, said to myself 'jesus fuckin Christ did they really do the whole show like this', sent the link to my boss and co-workers who do traditional animation then read the rest of the thread. Was pretty much the equivalent to a Pixar movie of its time, I figured.

I wonder if Lois didn't at some point try to smack that smug look off Clark's face at the end of nearly every episode, and wind up breaking her hand or something. At least we got a pretty darn good comic as a spinoff, half a century later.. https://www.gocomics.com/the-last-mechanical-monster/2017/05/24

These Superman cartoons were the inspiration for 1990s Batman The Animated series. They wanted to do a similar designed Batman and make Gotham's value work look the same as the old cartoons. And that's my story! Byeeeeee

The flow of the Batman theme, together with the way each episode had a title card and title song, were super influenced by this and old radio serials.

My biological father gave me a VHS of these that I watched RELIGIOUSLY as a child. They weren't good. They were scary and boring! But I was thankful for what I got.

It's probably been said already but Fleischer Bros cartoons own bones. This guy, 8th Man DVD has a heap of restored, high quality cartoons from various studios, including the Superman cartoons. It's worth checking out. This was one of my favorite old cartoons when I was a kid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIwUpvf2jXY Linux Pirate fucked around with this message at 04:48 on May 7, 2019 |

It went like this -- Disney first, then Silly Symphonies, then Warner (I guess), then Betty Boop, then Popeye, then Superman.

I used to watch these on 8mm film when I was like 6 or 7. A friend's mom used to set up the projector in their the bathroom for some reason. It was probably because it was the darkest room in the house but it's a strange memory to look back on.

I really like when the animation moves a bit too fast for the soundtrack to keep up so they just force the orchestra to go faster for a second (because doing any more animation would cost so much drat money).

Disney used a lot of rotoscoping and reference shots too, btw. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCgxAag2Y6M They also recycled a lot of animation between movies.

That was great, and DC should absolutely make it canon. I suppose given that short's out of copyright it could be! There is a heavily-built silhouette in glasses in the end scene...

I'm guessing they don't show Superman beating the poo poo out of Japanese soldiers in China. Too white so if you get caught watching it, they probably lock you in the internment camps in XInjiang or something until you write enough poetry praising the CCP, huh?
