Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Bad sound editing.
Stay away from this version. It has "enhanced sounds and effects" which drown out the dialog and sound very much out of place. It sounds as though someone were constantly playing with the volume control...very distracting. The picture isn't that great either.
Pick up "The complete Superman collection diamond anniversary edition" instead. The picture is clear and the sound is crisp. Plus it has all 17 episodes where the inferior "Superman The Lost Episodes" only has eight.

Rating:  - A great collection, with some minor glitches
This two-pack is a great value and a must-have for Superman fans and fans of animation in general. The presentation obviously was by folks who appreciated the value and importance of the Fleischer/Famous Superman cartoons. The restoration work is well done (although it seems a couple of the cartoons didn't give the restorers much to work with), and, particularly on the Lost Episodes disc, the story summaries and history blurbs are well-researched and informative (if you can excuse the many typos). ...
