Before the "Transformers," there were the lumbering "Mechanical Monsters" in this 1941 Superman, directed by Dave Fleischer. Later in the series of 17 films, the Fleischers lost some artistic control over the stories, and they became much more caught up in World War II stories--and in many cases, much more racist. Visually, they changed, too: The early Fleischer toons like this one were usually set at night, or under a mountain, or someplace dark, where their rich, deep palate of colors would show to greatest effect. My favorite moment from this story: Inside the evil-but-dapper inventor's lair (within a hollowed-out volcano, naturally), he suspends Lois Lane over a cauldron of molten metal in an attempt to find out what happened to his loot. She's gagged, so she can't speak, but the villain snarls, "So--you won't tell me!" They just don't make bad guys like that anymore.
