The New Adventures of Superman Audience Reviews

Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
George Taylor 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.
Dalbert Pringle 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.
tgxtom76 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.
voicemaster71 The first time I ever saw these cartoons of both Superman and Superboy was when I was 11 years old.At the time, it was on the Bozo Show on WGN around 1983 I believe it was. Anyway, I liked the character designs. I felt the Superman characters fit the look designed by Curt Swan, the definitive Superman artist of the Silver Age. Well, I did my research and found out about when it originally aired and what format it was in. But for me, I remember the Bozo Show airing Batman on Mondays and Thursdays, Superman on Tuesdays and Fridays, and Superboy on Wednesdays. I never really cared for Bozo the Clown or the like. Heck the only reason I watched it was just to see these Filmation cartoon shorts of the World's Finest.Bud Collyer did a super job as his dual voices of Superman and Clark Kent, but unlike the 40's Fleisher cartoon classics, Collyer has more speaking lines as Superman since the Man of Steel was mostly silent in the 40's shows. And I was just given a surprise to learn that Joan Alexander wasn't the only voice over for Lois Lane. (Read the trivia above the comment line). In comparison, I liked the Superman shows over the Superboy shows, though Superboy can be fun. Animation wise, the shows suck by today's standards. But I loved the character designs and voice overs not to mention the awesome musical scores. These cartoons helped me pick up and read some Superman comics from the 50's and 60's and enabled me to hear the voices of Bud Collyer and Joan Alexander in my mind.If you love the Silver Age Superman, I highly recommend this series and I really wish WB would consider releasing these shows on DVD along with the other DC titles by Filmation. And yes, Superboy too.
