Bizarro Classic

[@reynoldsharma]

The reverse superman theme was a fucking nice touch!

[@SirAndacar]

Me not agree! You am me unfriend!

[@QuantumBuc]

I didn't catch that the first time. Excellent!

[@retrogamelover2012]

And he sounds like The Arm from Twin Peaks as well.

[@sr.favopossodeixarvaziosim4595]

The show Superman & Lois did the same thing, wonder if it was inspired by this video

[@IronCityHero1998]

I didn't think it was possible for Bizarro to be genuinely terrifying. This is the scariest version of Bizarro ever I love it

[@robbpratt]

He was created in the Silver Age, when comics were a bit campy. This was fun to do - imagining him in the Golden Age!

[@joezar33]

You know Bizzaro thinks his saving the day in this video , could see him being sorta scary , how he dose everything oppsite of Superman

[@robbpratt]

60s or 40s, it wouldn't stop me from animating him! The whole idea of Superman "Classic" is to mix everything from the character's history without being limited to a particular era, and instead go "timeless". It'd be fun to even do Doomsday or Cyborg Superman at some point, but stay in this cool, retro style!

[@blueeyeddrago3540]

It would be badass if you did bring Doomsday. Though what's Superman without a Lex Luthor?

[@retrogamelover2012]

I can only imagine what the New Gods would look like. Not just Darksied, but the pantheons of both New Genesis and Apokolips.

[@videosammy]

Whatever happened to these ideas? Warner brothers shut you down with a cease and desist letter?

[@macaemeia146]

Cyborg superman would be cool

[@joezar33]

​@@blueeyeddrago3540Lex in some kinda Noir style giant Mech , would be kool to see , a Batman and Joker cameo

[@MrRedgrin]

That backwards recording thing for Bizarro's voice is pretty clever.

[@juberel]

This looks like a genuine DC show or movie, deserves more views and praise

[@MultiMaker_Studios]

It really does

[@ItsSomeDeadGuy]

This animation is just... perfect for Superman.

[@munkduane]

I'm dying for a full series of Superman Classic. Genius idea and execution. Please don't stop!

[@jordanfrazierful]

+Munk Duane I think a series is asking too much, but maybe a full length animated film? hmm..

[@thisxgreatxdecay]

I love the timelessness, the tongue-in-cheekiness, the humor infused with the action, and the lack of that typical "brooding hero" in this. I wish Superman comics were actually like this! I'm a huge fan of that retro Art Deco aesthetic, as well. Metropolis should always be its own character rather than just being the New York stand-in you sometimes see in the comics. The Bizarro voice is really unique. Great job!

[@cinematicgoodness7325]

0:23-0:50 I just absolutely adore the character animation on Clark and Lois. I also really dig the dialogue exchange between the two, with Clark's nervous mannerisms at the concern of being caught as Superman, and Lois' snarky attitude and 50's news reporter slang indefinitely working off her character as she talks was just icing on the cake. Great job man! 10 outta 10!

[@robbpratt]

Thank you so much! You hooked in to everything I was going for!

[@hezekiahramirez6965]

I'm a huge Superman fan and the fact that someone loves him so much they put in the time, effort, and money to make two of these really makes me happy. I love knowing that this character that has inspired me for so many years has had this kind of impact on someone else. Fabulous work. I'm amazed by this. I really cannot praise this, or you, enough.

[@ToonsmythProductions]

Mind blowing animation! This is the most EPIC vision of Superman since the early Fleisher cartoons. SO WHEN is DC going to hire you to direct one of their animated feature films?!

[@PsychoWerekitsune]

I know these videos were posted years ago and it's likely that Mr. Pratt has moved on to bigger things (and potentially abandoned this account), but I stumbled upon a repost of them and decided to find the source. These are incredible pieces of animated media, truly love letters to Superman as a whole that pay homage to the character and his history. It would be so cool to see more of these. Thank you again for posting your work, sir, you are truly a visionary.

[@vis_viva]

Seriously. Warner Brothers needs to write you a check and this needs to be a REGULAR cartoon on either WB or Cartoon Network. Seriously, if WB doesn't think they can make money off this they are total %*#$# idiots.

[@Kirby7601]

Idk. He’s a disney animator

[@bigshadow847]

www.newsarama.com/44879-inside-the-superman-family-animated-series-that-almost-was.html well bad news but we almost could have had this as a superman cartoon

[@bluewulv]

[@jacodutoit9394]

Vis Viva bizarro is a backward idiot!

[@andrewtodaro2874]

Maybe they've been replaced w/ Bizarros like Invasion of the Body Snatchers!

[@blueeyeddrago3540]

The fact that you used a reverse recording of Bizarro's lines is just perfection.

[@TAREEBITHETERRIBLE]

"BIZZARO GIVE STRONG PUNCH." I love the pure dyslexic illiteracy expressed by Bizzaro throughout all his appearances in the DC Universe!

[@spiderpunk94]

I know I'm just now finding this by accident but much appreciated all the same. Honestly watching CGI all the time can make one nostalgic for the old days

[@robbpratt]

Thank you for the positivity! I miss 2d, too!

[@michaeldy1139]

Where do we send money so this dude can keep drawing.

[@cornbreadthedog]

Mind blowing-ly fantastic! A trillion times what's better on television now!

[@CyclopsWasRight]

As a huge Superman fan myself, Superman and Bizarro Classic where amazing. I'm really interested to see how he takes out all of those robots in Supes Classic, maybe a sequel? I'd love to see a Batman Classic jump in and help Supes out. Great work man, never stop.

[@zainhartono7193]

Dude, these are awesome and I think it's safe to say we need to see more, completed animated shorts. DC and Warner should definitely get you to make these officially.

[@joshuarobertson8611]

Really well done! Love the digital voice flip, scariest sounding Bizarro I've ever heard! And Bizarro should be scary, he may not be vary bright and at time he may be child-like, but he is a being that possesses all the powers of superman - plus he kinda looks like a zombie. The only thing I would have liked to seen was his powers switched. Not all incarnations of Bizarro have done this, but most of the modern versions of Bizarro (along with the really good versions of them) have had his Heat Vision and Freeze Breath flipped, giving Bizarro Freeze Vision instead and Heat Breath. More Bizarro like.

[@TheNativeEngine]

All those powers sound awesome.

[@theimaginist3310]

OOOOH!! Heat Breath and Ice Vision sounds like an awesome idea for Bizarro!

[@whatawonderfulday3595]

When I heard him say, "Rate it," I was confused because rating a KZbin video hasn't been done in years. I then looked at how old the video was and screamed, "TWELVE YEARS!?" Just goes to show how well this animation has held up over the years.

[@rsloan48074]

The designs and animation style are amazing.

[@robbpratt]

Thank you very much!

[@ThemildmanneredgamerBlogspot]

Please more Superman! Would love to see a more full length story. I also think it is great that you got John and Jen Newton to do the voices.

[@ANIMUS97]

I love how it's action packed with a touch of silly/cute humor here and there. A light hearted feel is just what the DC Universe is missing these days with it's current lean towards dreary drama. If the world of comic becomes depressing, where exactly are we to escape to every now and then? Hmm? #whysoseriousdcuniverse

[@THANATOS-PRIME]

Ever since I was a little kid this guy and Parasite have always been my favorite Superman villains.

[@TheCosmicburrito2]

This is AMAZING! I definitely want more! Haven’t really seen anything this good since Batman: The animated series came up in the nineties. Your animated style is classic and beautiful! 🤩

[@jack1394]

I did laugh when Clark’s urge to turn into Superman was revealed by the falling coma of a hair he’s famous for. Honestly, I’m a fan! 😄

[@maldicientin]

This is just about a minute and shows no ending and it still has a better plot than Batman vs. Superman

[@thefbiman2116]

That was an astounding depiction of Bizarro! A perfect mirror of Superman down to the reverse of your lines

[@kevingreene62kg]

Oh man, this is awesome! I was getting into this, I want to see more!

[@munkduane]

Please please PLEASE someone put this guy in charge of a new Superman series! I can watch these all day!

[@theseanwardshow]

Exciting! Amazing stuff

[@SeanMcBong]

Please make more! A "World's Finest Classic" with a Batman/Superman team up would be absolutely AMAZING. Keep up the work, sir. It's fantastic and I'm sure if you want to your work WILL be on TV someday.

[@viniciuspassos82]

Robb... first of all, immense congratulations. I am a family man myself and knowing you did this film and had quality time with the kids plus your day job? You can consider yourself a Superman. Second, looking forward to Flash Gordon Classic, whenever it's ready. Third, one word: Rocketeer. What do you say? Thanks for the films and cheers from Brazil.

[@BLI_80s]

Thoroughly impressed by your handling of the crowd scenes and juggling multiple bodies flying through the air, this is super badass!

[@LastSon0638]

Nicely done. I like the music flip for Bizarro.

[@tedhobgood]

This entertained me SO MUCH! Loved it, both the serious parts and the injections of comedy. Loved the retro-but-timeless style. And thanks SO MUCH for putting in the little "making of" at the end--I love seeing that stuff. Golly, I'd love it if DC had you make a movie!!!

[@SciFiFan2012]

Why is this not a feature length cartoon? Why isn't Superman Classic one either? Come on, DC/WB - Mr. Pratt and his work is AMAZING!

[@KreedsToyCollection]

Please don't let this die. Please reach out to DC/Warner again. This vision of Superman is phenomenal.

[@OldManTheseDays]

Absolutely charming, in the best way possible. fantastic stuff, keep it up!

Love the way that Bizarro Superman growls and leaps at the camera right at the end. Usually Bizarro Superman is portrayed as silly or ridiculous, but this guy is downright scary.

[@Gregorskorino]

[@robbpratt]

Thank you! That's so fun to read!

[@raymazzilli7613]

Fantastic work man, brings a sense of joy and a tear to my eye to see Superman done in the way that I know and love him. After seeing these 2 short movies I said my superman live action movies would be written and directed by Brad Bird and storyboarded by you Mr.Pratt.

[@joedestefano2534]

Would totally donate to a kickstarter to get more of these made! Not just another one, but a season of them! LOVE THESE!

[@satin_jacket]

This is wonderful. Thanks for making!

[@vinnylt2408]

robbpratt takes me back to watching the fleisher series as a little kid borrowing the VHS tapes from the library. I love it.

[@Dizzy247365plus]

Truly brilliant AWE-inspiring work. If I was a billionaire investor, I would sink so much money into helping you make a full length feature and NOT MAKE A DIME off it just so people could see it without Warner and DC blocking it. I say this because sadly--THE POWERS THAT BE are not giving the fans what most fans want to see from Superman or any other DC icons. Keep up the awesome work any way u can. Extra special THANK you to John Newton and his wife for lending their acting chops to this independent piece, which made it that much more entertaining!! Kudos to u ALL.

[@echoc7213]

This is amazing, as well as the Superman Classic! I love the older feel to it, with the classic music, city design, and clothes. And the little hair curl knocked me out. So great! Thanks so much for doing this, and please make more!

[@felipehernandez-pedroza8288]

Great depiction of the Man of Steel. This is from 2012 but didn't know it existed until today. This is fan made but I honestly think WBDC won't ever do anything as great and exciting as this.

When Bizarro is first created by Lex Luthor's duplicating ray, he's a perfect copy of Superman, but slowly degrades into this creature, becoming more and more opposite of Superman. At some point, his powers would reverse as well, given enough time. I guess my short takes place before that has happened! I did that to hide his "reveal" just a moment longer!

Just discovered this amazing work and "Superman Classic." While I enjoy many DC animated films up to the mid-2010s, the hand-drawn animation here is a unique experience. It harks back to the classic US school, conveying so much more than just technical proficiency. I'd love to see more classic hero shorts with this level of production value.
