The Max Fleischer Superman, featured in these cartoons is the iconic superhero in very old, amazingly well done animation. The cartoons are short, the villains are bad (dinosaurs, mad scientists, volcanoes), Lois is ditzy and constantly getting in dire situations.To say that the animation is terrific, especially for the time (late 1930's, early 40's) would be horrible understatement. It is amazingly sophisticated.The ONLY thing that might get a small warning is that - because of the pre-World War II timing - some of the cartoons portray villains that are stereotypes of our WWII enemies. The cartoons are products of and reflections of their time. So there is an exaggerated emphasis on saboteurs and spies and such.
