1940's Superman cartoons
Picked up a disk at a dollar store of the Max and Dave Fleischer Superman cartoons of the 40's. We watched half of them, very elaborate stuff. A truly cool visual experience. And unlike many cinematic works of yore, the kid was riveted.
 I can tell if they were way ahead of there time, or if the stuff I grew up with had a hard time keeping up.  I understand they were the biggest budgeted cartoon short subkect films ever, to the tune of 50k per episode.

I've got those laserdiscs, never spun them up- nice to know they're worth the trouble.
The cover says over $100,000 per episode... Thanks, je

The Fleischer brothers really didn't spare much expense when it came to animation. Some of their best work are the cartoons from the 30s --especially older popeye and betty boop cartons.
They layered the backgrounds on sheets of glass, and moved each one individually per frame. This gave the cartoon a true 3D effect. It was wayyy cool.
