Japanese soldiers capture her and threaten to execute her if Superman doesn't cease the sabotage. But these cartoons are among the few exceptions to the standard Superman formula. Storytelling was not one of the strengths of Max and Dave Fleischer's studio. As a result, the Superman cartoons never let us get to know the main characters. Character development is kept to an absolute minimum in these cartoons, but visually these cartoons are stunning.
Backgrounds are vast, detailed, and atmospheric, providing a unified painterly vision.
The animated human characters move like real people and they are placed within the scenes to emphasize depth. All the Fleischer Superman cartoons make extensive use of shadows, especially on the animated human characters. These shadows help give the appearance of rounded contours and further reinforce the illusion of depth. The audio for these cartoons is less than ideal, but I'm guessing the Fleischers skimped on the recording sessions for the actors' voices. Sound effects are used sparingly, with music filling in most of the aural space.
