Discover the amazing stranger from Planet Krypton that is "Faster than a streak of lightning!" and "Mightier than a roaring hurricane!" when Warner Home Video (WHV) and DC Comics release "Max Fleischer's Superman: 1941-1942", a 2-disc collection featuring 17 action-packed vintage theatrical cartoons from the Warner Bros. vault, on April 7, 2009 for US$26.99 SRP.
The Superman animated cartoons, commonly known as the "Fleischer Superman Cartoons" were a series of seventeen animated Technicolor short films, which were based upon the comic book character Superman. These groundbreaking theatrical shorts are the very first animated DC Comics Superman cartoons and the first cartoon entitled "Superman" to be nominated for an Academy Award® (Short Film - Animated). Each cartoon is brimming with action and special effects, beautifully drawn and colored, braced with fabulous background paintings and brought to life with realistic movement. These animated shorts are seen as some of the finest, and certainly the most lavishly budgeted, cartoons produced during the Golden Age of animation.

"These animated short films were the first cinematic adaptation of the classic comic book character, Superman," said Amit Desai, WHV Vice President of Family, Animation & Sports Marketing. "Warner Home Video is absolutely thrilled to release Max Fleischer's Superman: 1941-1942 for an entirely new generation of fans."
