"The Underground World" is the penultimate cartoon short film from the 1940's Superman series. It was the first time that the very prolific and successful Seymour Kneitel was in charge of directing and he also returned for the final film. This one here runs for 8 minutes and has Lois and a professor go on an underground expedition where they are promptly attacked by a bunch of hawk-men trying to sacrifice them to please their God. But Superman is there on time. I must say the story was so-so, but the film's biggest weakness were perhaps the villains in here. I must say I found them rather funny-looking instead of dangerous, but that is just personal perception. Maybe you like them more than I did. As for quality, I am not too mad the franchise was already almost over at this point. To me, "The Underground World" was not a convincing achievement.
