John Carter of Mars - What might have been

[Mo]

I never knew this before, but apparently Bob Clampett took a run at John Carter as an animated feature way back in the 30's. Someone posted some rare footage that had been compiled on youtube...

Wow!!!      

I've never seen that stuff before. Reminds me of the old Superman cartoons. I wish they still did animation like that.

Thanks Mo!!! I really love that kind of animation of old...

thank you very much.  John Carter is a favorite of mine, probably being the first series I read when was prepubscent adolescent.

You and me both! I'm re-reading them for the first time in 30 or so years and they still are a ton of fun. It would have been so fun to have a rotoscope series of 'toons to enjoy.

I read recently that Charlton Heston's given name was John Carter. What a great name to have while growing up!
