The Complete Superman Cartoons - Diamond Anniversary Edition

In association with Amazon.com
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Even better than I remember!!!
I remember watching this cartoon on tapes that my mom had recorded most likely for my older brothers since they are several years older than me God only knows when since I was quite small. When I discovered that they had released the entire set on dvd (instead of a few episodes on random discs with other cartoons) I was thrilled and instantly bought it. It's just as I remember the episodes...but even better since the sound quality and picture quality have been restored to the best of present day ability. If you are looking for a dvd set for your kids, you can't go wrong with this one. It may be a good 43 years older than me but I still enjoy it more than the more current Superman cartoons of the 90's and 00's.

These are a great reminder of the early days of animation and super heroes,.
Fleischer Studios were masters at this .
Well worth having in any collection !



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Transfers not as good as Bosko Superman Collection
I just purchased the 2006 "Superman: The Ultimate Max Fleischer Cartoon Collection" I was quite disappointed to see the image quality and the saturation of the cartoons were not that great. The colors were over saturated and the film transfer of the cartoons were not sharp and they lacked detail. Maybe they got rid of dust and scratches somewhat, but overall they don't look that good. Though I did like the extras and the DVD booklet enclosed with it.

I spent quite a bit of time comparing it to the previously released "The Complete Superman Collection-Diamond Anniversary Edition" released by Bosko Video in 2000. The Bosko set has much better color representation and much more detail. I reviewed them on a 32" tube television as well as 50" wide screen LCD TV. The results were the same.
I was under the impression that VCI Entertainment's "Ultimate Max Fleischer Collection" from 2006 was remastered from the original negatives. If so they did not do them justice.

I'm curious to see reviews of the new (2009) "Max Fleischer's Superman Collection 1941-1942". That collection baffles me a little as four of them were from 1943. It seems a little strange that the DVD title would not represent that year's cartoons in the collection. I also wonder how good that transfer looks compared to the other two collections previously mentioned.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Piece of Cultural History.
These cartoons are a piece of our cultural history. They demonstrate a quality and style which is quite remarkable. They also seem to have had quite an influence on Paul Dini in creating Batman: The Animated Series in the 1990s. The stories are not of the same level we expect today but are charming in their simplicity. This is a delightful collection that shows us one of the earlier interpretations of our iconic hero. Funny enough, over all these years the Lois Lane we know and love seems to have changed not one bit. She is still sassy and smart and out to scoop Clark.
This is a great addition to any collection though today's children might not enjoy them very much.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Super Collection
A must for every Superman and animation fan. Great restoration. Lots of art deco fun.
