Beautiful animation. Also, Superman punches a fucking laser.

Silly, but diverting

Superman spends a minute and a half of the 10 minute short fighting a laser beam. Not the machine, not the scientist controlling it, the actual beam of concentrated light. This sucks, as does the stupid wink at the end.

I've never been a huge Superman fan to begin with, and this boring cartoon doesn't do anything to intice me.

Just the right amount of comedy and good-ole-fashioned butt kicking (Superman -punches- the giant ray). This did as much for the mythos of Superman as the comics.

Doesn't he say "This looks like a job for Superman!" rather loudly with those people in the room?

I really don't care for Superman as a character, but the animation in this is pretty damned good.

Another beautifully animated short.

Impressive animation quality and flow.

I have seen this probably hundreds of times since the age of two, and the scientist's pet bird still makes me laugh. Every. Damn. Time.

Oh yeah, this is why I hate Superman.

I generally hate Superman, and I'm a big fan of comics. All the same, the animation is really beautiful and stylized in this, and the cartoon is entertaining in all its cheesy splendor.

A lot of fun.
