I sat down here in 2023 to watch the 1941 animated short "Superman" feature. I have watched this before, sometime during the 1980s, during my childhood. But it was certainly nice to sit down and watch it again.
And I have to say that "Superman" from 1941 is still as watchable today as it was back in the 1980s. So the creators really did make a quality product back in 1941. 82 years old and still holding up. That is quite an accomplishment.
The storyline in "Superman" is good, though I am amazed that they could manage to cram a cohesive storyline into a mere 10 minute animated movie. But directors Dave Fleischer and Steve Muffati pulled it off quite nicely. And it was an enjoyable story starring everyone's favorite Man of Steel.
And that bird sidekick was just a great character. It stole the show.
The art and animation in "Superman" was good. Sure, it is showing some signs of having aged 82 years, in terms of the style of art used, but there is a certain ageless and timeless charm to it in my opinion.
Definitely worth sitting down to watch, "Superman" is entertaining for children and adults alike.
My rating of this 1941 animated short story lands on a six out of ten stars.
