"It's A Bird, It's A Plane, It's Superman!", 10 June 2000
10/10
Author: Ron Oliver (revilorest@juno.com) from Forest Ranch, CA

A SUPERMAN Cartoon.

Intrepid girl reporter Lois Lane uncovers a dastardly Nazi plot in Darkest Africa. But when she falls into the clutches of the villains & JUNGLE DRUMS pound out the revelry attending her imminent immolation, it begins to look like a job for Superman...

This was another in the series of excellent cartoons initially created by Max Fleischer for Paramount Studio. They feature great animation and taut, fast-moving plots. Meant to be shown in movie theaters, they are miles ahead of their Saturday Morning counterparts. Bud Collyer is the voice of Superman; Joan Alexander does the honors for Lois Lane.
