Superman in the circus. Uhm, sure, why not?...

Writers Bill Turner and Carl Meyer put together a storyline and script for the 1942 animated short "Terror on the Midway" that felt like it could effectively have been used for any cartoon character. Take out Superman and Lois and replace with any two other characters, and it would still work. On that account, then "Terror on the Midway" wasn't really the greatest of these 1940s "Superman" short adventures.

"Terror on the Midway" was still fun to watch though, and it was something I had watched back in the 1980s, during my childhood. So it was a nice trip down memory lane to revisit the 1942 animated short feature "Terror on the Midway".

The art and animation in "Terror on the Midway" was good. And it actually still holds up today, 81 years down the late. So that is quite a good accomplishment.

Watchable for what it was, "Terror on the Midway" was lacking that particular thrill and excitement you would otherwise expect from a "Superman" adventure.

My rating of directors Seymour Kneitel, Dave Fleischer and Myron Waldman's 1942 animated short feature "Terror on the Midway" lands on a five out of ten stars.
