    1966 Filmation Superman My Favorite

    I was about 4 years old when I first saw the New Adventures of Superman I loved it then and I miss it today. I Feel there was a lot to like about the cartoon: The music, The voices(The mild voice of Clark Kent and the Masculine strong voice of Superman -They don't do that anymore), the narration, and I love the mostly sci-fi plots and lastly I loved the animation. I also felt this superman was the most powerful superman, taking missile shots to chest without being phased by them at all, Busting thru stone walls, flying at the speed of light, Moving the earth,and the only thing that could stop him was kryptonite- He was indestructible. I also loved the other Filmation Superhero's like Green Lantern, The Flash, Hawkman, as well as Superboy and Aquaman. These were and still are my Favorite Superhero cartoons. I have not been impressed with any of the other Superman cartoons that came after the filmation version. The Superfriends version of superman in my opinion was a much wussier less powerful superman, He was a very wimpy superman in my opinion. The current version of Superman I don't care for in part because I don't like the look of the animation mostly ,and I really don't like anything else about it either. I would just like to see the Good old 1966 New Adventures of Superman cartoon Or the later Batman Superman Hour on DVD. I think that show was a classic. They can't seem to make good cartoons like that anymore. If it was in DVD I would buy in a Flash.

    (*Favourite Superman quote*) - "Up!.... Up!.... (and) - Away!"

    Greetings, all you insatiable, vintage superhero fans - This 2-disc set contains 36 (6-minute) action-packed episodes of pure amusement from "The New Adventures Of Superman" which was first aired on Saturday morning TV back in 1966.

    Be sure to tune in closely and watch in wonder as the big, brave, and beefy Superman repeatedly saves the day as he heroically conquers such diabolical villains as Toyman and Brainiac and their dastardly deeds.

    Believe me - These rapid-paced cartoon capers of Superman are guaranteed to keep you thoroughly entertained with all of their high-energy retro-fun from start to finish.

    SuperFriends Anthology

    I calculated the average for all the series in this anthology using each show's IMDb rating and I obtained 7.4357142857143.

    SuperFriends Anthology: 7.4/10

    Decent

    While it was limited by the utterly cheap animation, an idea that hampered most made for tv cartoon starting in the 50's, the Cartoon itself was faithful to the source material, and using Bud Collyer as the voice of the main character, kept me interested and tuned in.

    • Trivia
      In order to secure the licence to produce a "Superman" cartoon, the founders of Filmation got several of their friends to set up a faux animation studio. They invited representatives from DC Comics to tour their facility, where they saw what looked like a large, busy production staff. In reality, the staff of Filmation was much smaller.
    • Goofs
      In most instances, whenever Clark Kent changes into Superman, he has on his blue suit. But when the Superman costume is revealed, he is seen removing a white coat.
