The studio behind the popular 1940s shorts is trying its hand at restoring (and preserving) these important pieces of superhero media.
Superman’s taken on many animated forms over the decades, but it all started with the 1940s shorts from Fleischer Studios. While they’ve been re-released a number of times, some of those efforts haven’t entirely been up to snuff, which is why Fleischer itself is trying its own hand at the process. Earlier this week at New York’s Museum of Modern Art, Fleischer showed off a restored version of the animated short, The Mechanical Monsters. The process began back in 2022, and wasn’t easy.
Along with being the only Fleischer short to show Superman using his X-ray vision, this is the first instance of Clark Kent entering a phone booth to change into his heroic persona, which would become a fairly common trend of the character to this day.
