Superman
Given the dates, is it safe to assume that the Superman shorts produced for Sesame were done by the same team responsible for The New Adventures of Superman (TV series)? If so, we may have grounds for a Bud Collyer page. — Scott ( talk ) 23:30, 29 January 2007 (UTC)


 * I ask you of course, because I bow to your knowledge in such things. I just checked out YouTube to compare voices, and it seems that there is some disagreement over who the voice is. What do you think? — Scott ( talk ) 23:33, 29 January 2007 (UTC)


 * The animation is unquestionably done by Filmation, as they did with Batman and Jughead Jones. I'm incredibly doubtful that the voice is Collyer's, though. It doesn't at all match his Superman radio voice. I could be more authoritative if I had access to any clips from The New Adventures of Superman, on the very very slight chance that the variable is the result of age. But it does sound for more like Weinrib to me (though conversely, listening to the Batman clip again, I'm doubtful that was him as the Joker; it's too brief a line to be sure, though, whereas here, it's a whole monologue). And that's also assuming that every Superman segment had the same voice; Collyer died in September 1969. Depending on when these were in production, ordered by CTW (i.e. a single batch, or inddvidually after testing reception et cetera, which did happen), it's possibly Collyer did reprise the role in the other segments we haven't seen yet. But, again with the qualifier that I wish I had samples of his late-era voice for comparison, I'm fairly certain it's not him. Which is a shame, since I'd love to have a Bud Collyer page (I'm considering one for Daws Butler, since thanks to Julian's YouTube uploads, we've definitively tracked *him* in three disparate clips). -- Andrew Leal (talk ) 23:54, 29 January 2007 (UTC)


 * It's possible that the Superman cartoons were done at the same time as the Batman spot featured in one of the test pilots. That's the only way it coule be Collyer. I tried looking on YouTube for comparison, but a search for "superman filmation" comes up with every hero but him. I'll keep an eye out -- it would be nice if the CTW Archives could confirm. — Scott ( talk ) 00:24, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
