Superman Animated Series: A Little Piece of Home
Body of Review: After the popularity of Batman: The Animated Series, the creators decided to try their had at another DC Super-hero: Superman. Debuting in 1996, Superman lasted for 54 episodes over four seasons (though the last season was very abbreviated, containing only three episodes.) Like its predecessor, this cartoon is filled with action and adventure, but not at the expense of the plot. The stories were intelligent and entertaining for adults as well as children, and the humor made the show even more delightful.
Superman: A Little Piece of Home is the second DVD released with episodes from this fun series. It contains four very different episodes which come from the first three seasons of the show. This is a great mix of programs, highlighting the wide variety of shows that the series created.

Extras: There are a few neat extras on this DVD. Superman: A Little Piece of Trivia allows the viewer to watch the show with pop up windows that give little bits of trivia about the show and character. Postcards from Metropolis: A guide to Superman's City is a six-minute guide to the cartoon version of Metropolis. Through video clips from the show the sights of Metropolis and main characters are revealed. It is a good introduction for people who haven't seen the show before. Metropolis Challenge is a game you can play with your remote. The disc is rounded off with a selection of trailers for other Warner children's DVDs. Video: The full frame video looks great. The colors were very bright and vivid, and the image was tight. There were a few minor imperfections in the picture, just an occasional small spot on a frame though. Nothing major though. The digital defects were very minor, some infrequent aliasing in the background is all. Overall a very nice looking transfer. Audio: The English Dolby surround sound audio track is nice. The dialog is clear and the sound effects come through strong without being overpowering. There isn't any hiss or other audio defects. The rears are mainly used for music and sound effects but they are used effectively. The opening credit sequence is particularly impressive sounding with the theme music really surrounding the viewer. A nice sounding disc. Surround tracks in French and Spanish are also present, as well as English, Spanish, and French subtitles. Final Thoughts: This is an entertaining show that has held up very well. This DVD in particular offers a good mixture of episodes offering humor, adventure, and mystery. Fans of the show will be happy with both the audio and video quality. Recommended. |
