    • Trivia
      The thawed out Tyrannosaurus was the inspiration for Godzilla.
    • Goofs
      The Tyrannosaurus Rex looks nothing like a real T-Rex, whose appearance was fairly well known by 1942.
    • Quotes

      [first lines]

      Voices: Up in the sky, look! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman!

      Narrator: Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, this amazing stranger from the planet Krypton, The Man of Steel: Superman! Possessing remarkable physical strength, Superman fights a never-ending battle for truth and justice, disguised as a mild-mannered newspaper reporter, Clark Kent.

    My Introduction to the Series
    This is the first animated Superman episode I ever saw. Until I was much older, I never knew anything about the sequence of them. As a child, I was crazy about dinosaurs. One Saturday, this just showed up on TV. I was stunned. A Tyrannosaurus Rex on the screen. He was awfully large but that was fine. He was found in the ice, frozen, and brought to Metropolis to be displayed in his big ice cube. Of course, there was one plug that had to be pulled and the whole thing goes south. Lois does her usual thing of getting into situations where her life is in danger. But the rampaging beast is the highlight. It precedes several other big lizard movies, particularly "The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms," where New York is the object of his affection. A wonderful story.
