Still looking for the one where Superman flies under a volcano to save Lois Lane from a society of Bird People. But this one has a cool bird too.
I used to watch these on telly as a kid. I think they used similar methods as Disney to animate in that they filmed actors movements and drew transparencies over the top.
Fleischer were the first to use it and it revolutionized animation
Just looked it up (took me a few minutes). Yes you're right! Animated a clown with rotoscoping. IN 1915!!! 😲
The rotoscope technique was invented by animator Max Fleischer[5] in 1915.
It's true, they say.

Fuck, I remember seeing that one on a VHS my family rented when I was a kid.
These were so good. You don't get 2d animation like this anymore.
