Superman Parody
The first proper comic-book superhero movie was the animated short "Superman" (1941) by Fleischer Studios. It didn't take long for another studio to parody it, and they did so with this, "The Mouse of Tomorrow." The Super Mouse here is an obvious Superman knockoff, although the rodent would years later morph into the more-well-known and less parodic Mighty Mouse. The parody is amusing enough for a brief cartoon, though. A narrator tells a story about a village full of cats and mice. One mouse escapes the tyranny of the felines by entering a supermarket. "Super-market"--get it? Well, that's basically the pun of it. The Super-mouse is born of consuming the super-foods of the super-market.
