Welcome to the Fleischer Bijou

Hey Gang;
Had me a doozy of an idea while watching some of those great old Fleischer Bros. Famous Studios Animated Features (you could call 'em cartoons, but there's really not much resemblence, thematically); why not take some of their best, ongoing work, and actually serialize it right here at the Silver Screen Oasis?
There's much more I could say about the amazing work done by Max & Dave, especially with great vehicles like Popeye & Betty Boop, but if you remember them with the same sense of wide-eyed awe and reverence as I do, then you're already perfectly primed to rediscover their fun & excitement, and if they weren't part of your youth, skip all this blather & dive right in as we begin (in order, s'long as the embeds don't fail) our fantastic journeys with:
THE ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN

And by all means, meet me in the lobby afterwards, where we can all trade critiques and share our impressions of the sheer, funky coolness of it all!
(And you can even suggest how often I should post new installments in the crime-fighting crusades of this mighty Son of Krypton!)
Flash: Free box of Sno-Caps for the brainy guy or gal who figures out why I've placed this thread under Film Noir, rather than Action/Adventure or Sci-Fi!
