Originally released in 1942, this Famous Studios (The successor to Fleischer Studios) Superman short, Eleventh Hour, is part of the legendary animated series that defined the Man of Tomorrow for generations. Produced at the height of WWII, these films are technical marvels for their time—lush rotoscoped animation, art-deco cityscapes, and a Superman who feels genuinely mythic.

Important historical context disclaimer:
This cartoon was created in the early 1940s and reflects the cultural attitudes, stereotypes, and assumptions of its era. Some depictions may be outdated, insensitive, or offensive by modern standards. These elements are presented unaltered for historical and archival purposes, not as an endorsement of the views they represent.

We believe preserving media history includes acknowledging its flaws. Context matters. Erasure helps no one.

Superman remains one of the most influential characters in modern mythology, and these shorts show the character in his earliest, most operatic form—less quippy, more god-from-the-sky. Watch with curiosity, critical awareness, and an appreciation for animation history.
