Description:
In 1941, cartoonist-brothers Max and Dave Fleischer launched their most ambitious project to date, the very elaborate and expensive SUPERMAN cartoon series for Paramount Studios. A total of 17 in all, they featured great animation and taut, fast-moving plots. The recognizable voices of Bud Collyer and Joan Alexander are featured as Clark Kent/Superman and Lois Lane. Also included in this 3-DVD boxed set are 3 hilarious Max and Dave Fleischer POPEYE THE SAILOR MAN cartoons from the late 1930s, plus 4 other Fleischer cartoons, including RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER from 1944. 4 hours of animated fun for the whole family!!! Digitally-restored.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - do not buy this
I can not express how disappointed I was by this collection. I read the other reviews and thought a complete superman series, a couple of classic popeyes and rudolph digitally restored what could be better. So my wife got this for me for Christmas. What a waste
sound quality ----poor
no play all option
the worst crime is the quality of the picture-----POOR
A Fleischer brothers cartoon is a work of art and this ... Read More
Rating: - Superman cartoons disappointing in quality
This is an inexpensive set but I would not recommend it if your interest is the Superman cartoons -- the picture & sound quality are both mediocre. Far better to buy the single disk "Diamond Anniversary Edition" from Image Entertainment -- *much* better transfers. The 3rd disk, with the three color Fleischer Popeyes, is not bad but may be available more cheaply from other sources if that's all you want.
Rating: - New Sound Effects
I just received my DVDs and while the picture quality is great, the previous customer was dead wrong. The same additional "hi-fi" sound effects on previous releases are here as well. This especially pisses me off because on the basis of his review I picked this set and I was SPECIFICALLY looking for unaltered soundtracks. Thanks for nothing.
Anyway, if you don't care about the additional sound effects, this is a great set. Otherwise, pass it by.
Rating:  - A Fleischer Brother's "Greatest Hits"
Like most Fleischer DVD offerings "The Animated World of Max & Dave Fleisher: Superman / Popeye" is a mixed bag, but mostly good. It is produced by Falcon Pictures, a nostalgia themed company which restores and releases Box Sets of classic TV and film. There is obvious care put into this series.
The overall quality of the cartoons is good. Restoration has been done to the picture, which is nice and clear. A definite improvement over other DVD releases. There is a little added sound effects ... Read More
