Remastered Fleischer Superman Animations 1 1

[LDarkseid1]

So I’m actually super super excited about this. I know people tend to sour at the thought of revamping old things, but I think seeing the old Fleischer Superman animated series in high res 4K is going to be awesome!

I watched these as a kid in the 80’s for my first time as a massive Superman fan, and they were just the most amazing thing. Can’t believe these came out a mere 3 years after Action 1. Max Fleischer was just way ahead of his time!

The main details:

• Warner Bros. did 4K, 16-bit scans from the original 35mm successive exposure negatives. The raw scans were then entered into the recombine process utilizing proprietary software to merge the successive exposure Technicolor negatives into a single RGB color image. The scans were done in the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.37-to-1.
• Special features include a new featurette (Superman: Speeding Toward Tomorrow) and two previously-produced featurettes (First Flight: The Fleischer Superman Series – The Origins and Influence of This Groundbreaking Cartoon Series and The Man, the Myth, Superman: Exploring the Tradition of Superman Heroes on the Page and Screen).
• The set will be available on May 16 to purchase digitally for $14.99 from Amazon Prime Video, AppleTV, Google Play, Vudu, and other platforms, as well as for $33.99 on Blu-ray.

Yeah not a question. Especially considering you’re getting a new featurette out of it. Just icing on the cake.
