It's been a while since I linked to one of these Fleischer Superman cartoons. We had the first one in the series back here and the second back here. This was the third entry and it was entitled "Billion Dollar Limited." It was released to theaters on January 9, 1942 and seems to have the voices of Bud Collyer as Superman and Joan Alexander as Lois Lane. Here you go…
In the credits, you'll notice the name of Myron Waldman. Mr. Waldman, who passed away at the age of 97, spent his life working in animation, bringing us some of the most memorable characters ever drawn on film. Last Saturday, I was among the speakers at an event called The Afternoon of Remembrance, which is an annual salute to folks in the animation community who've passed away in the previous year. Mr. Waldman was touchingly remembered by his sons, Robert and Steven Waldman. All the speeches that day were brief but theirs was probably the most memorable and there's a video of it, with not the best sound quality alas, over on this page of the ASIFA blog.
