Small Screen Cinema Classic Conversions
 

This weeks Classic Small Screen Cinema features three Superman animations by Director Dave Fleischer.

Quite controversial for their time the Superman shorts were at one time the most expensive cartoons ever produced. They pretty much bankrupted the Fleischer studios because while they were well made and popular, they didn't make their money back.

Superman: Electric Earthquake (1942)
