The Arctic Giant

"The Arctic Giant" (1942) is a Superman animated short you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Dave Fleischer for Fleischer Studios and Paramount.

A frozen Tyrannosaurus rex is pulled from the ice and put on display in a Metropolis museum — until it thaws. The city-wide rampage that follows is exactly what the Fleischer Studios Superman series (1941–1943) was built for: dramatic shadows, fluid movement, and destruction sequences that still hold up. Superman is the only thing standing between the dinosaur and the rest of the population. Stream on iFILM.
