A great production cel featuring The Man of Steel and Wonderwoman from the filmation animated series: The New Adventures of Superman.

`Filmation Associates was formed in 1963 by radio announcer Norm Prescott, former Bozo the Clown animator Lou Scheimer, and former Disney animator Hal Sutherland. The fledgling outfit saw the opportunity of a lifetime in the possible chance to secure a major network deal to animate a major comic book company's lead character three years later. But how to instill to National Periodical Publications the confidence that their tiny operation could be trusted with "superhero number one?"
Well, National (now known as DC Comics) decided to inspect the little storefront and check them out for themselves. Knowing that they were soon to arrive, Scheimer proceeded to put all of his relatives, friends, etc. in "working positions" at the studio. When the National execs made their appearance, to really impress them, Scheimer, while guiding them around the studio caught "one of his employees" in a "minor infraction" and summarily (and loudly) "fired" him." The display of Scheimer "toughmindedness" convinced Slational execs that, indeed, Superman was in the right hands and work commenced soon afterwards. The New Aduentnres of Superman with the Superman comic book's Mort Weisinger serving as the series' story editor, and Superman comic book writers George Kaslsdan, Bob Haney, and Leo Dorfman scripting many of the episodes, were a very faithful adaption to the comic book mythos.
The New Adventures of Superman, "A Filmation Production," made its debut on CBS in September 1966, with DC's Mort Weisinger serving as story consultant. Soundtracks were especially important when motion was curtailed, so executive producer Allen Ducovny employed the old radio voices of Bud Collyer (Superman), Joan Alexander (Lois Lane) and Jackson Beck (narrator).

The process of Animation is often a collaborative effort. The evidence of this can often be seen in the long credits at the end of most animated shorts and films.

Whilst only the most talented and skilled artisans would be employed by the studios, it is often difficult to attribute the corresponding artist to the exact piece of artwork we offer.

We therefore credit this artwork as being created by a Studio Artist, acknowledging their skill and talent bringing joy to collectors around the world.

You can now get your hands on some magnificent Filmation art. In addition to Filmation art, we also have available Filmation posters as well as Filmation prints. This collection is the only place to look for Filmation gifts.
