About Superman: Billion Dollar Limited (1942)

The Fleischer Superman cartoons (1941-43) were the first screen adaptation of the Man of Steel and some of the most lavish animated shorts of their era, with art-deco design and full animation that still influences superhero animation today.

Billion Dollar Limited (1942) is the third of seventeen animated Technicolor short films based upon the DC Comics character Superman. Produced by Fleischer Studios, Billion Dollar Limited centers on a train carrying one billion dollars in gold to the US Mint, which is sabotaged by robbers before Superman intervenes. The short was released by Paramount Pictures on January 9, 1942.
