Produced by FILMATION

Up for auction is a vintage 16mm color sound print of the classic 1966 Filmation animated short, Superman: The Deadly Super-Doll. This specific episode, S1ep26B, is a hallmark of the "Golden Age" of Saturday morning cartoons, produced during the debut season of The New Adventures of Superman. This was a landmark era for the Man of Steel, as it represented the character’s first animated appearance since the iconic Fleischer studios shorts of the 1940s, bringing a new level of energy and mid-century aesthetic to the DC Universe.


The plot of "The Deadly Super-Doll" is a fantastic example of the creative "Silver Age" comic book tropes that Filmation adapted so well. The story features a sinister sorcerer-like villain who utilizes a supernatural voodoo doll to exert physical control over Superman. As seen in the accompanying stills, the villain manipulates a miniature effigy to toss the Man of Steel around like a ragdoll. This episode is highly regarded by fans for its unique blend of superhero action and mystical peril, showcasing Superman in a rare vulnerable state where his raw strength is neutralized by magic.


Written by the prolific George Kashdan and directed by the legendary team of Hal Sutherland and herbert Klynn, this episode features the quintessential voice work of Bud Collyer as Clark Kent/Superman and Joan Alexander as Lois Lane. Collyer and Alexander were the definitive voices of these characters for decades, having originated the roles in the 1940s radio serials. This 1966 production serves as a bridge between the classic radio era and the modern superhero animation landscape, making it a vital piece of DC Comics media history.


This 6-minute 16mm print is a must-have for serious film collectors and Superman enthusiasts alike. Finding these original Filmation theatrical or television distribution prints is becoming increasingly difficult, especially for episodes featuring such iconic imagery as the "Super-Doll." Whether you are a fan of vintage animation techniques or a historian of the Man of Steel’s cinematic journey, this print of The Deadly Super-Doll represents a vibrant, action-packed slice of 1960s pop culture...

Not many of these EVER turn up so good luck and happy bidding...

This would make an EXCELLENT addition to any film fan's collection...
