We celebrate the 25th Anniversary release of "Superman: The Animated Series" for the first time on Blu-ray with a discussion with filmmaker Alex Gray about his exclusive special feature extra created for the release. 

 Alex details for us the challenges posed by the pandemic, and how he re-worked his original creative concepts to accommodate the remote interview restrictions.  His pivot to audio interviews with the producers and cast was warmly received and proved to be a brilliant antidote to the pandemic restrictions that led to even more personal stories and remembrances.  Alex then worked with the Warner Bros Animation archivist to unearth never-before-used storyboards, character models, and other artwork to blend with the interviews.  Personal photos provided by the cast and publicist Gary Miereanu rounded out the visuals. The final touch was an analog score and an audio mix that punctuated the multi-layered final film.

This exceptionally creative extra is the capstone to an arguably must-have new Blu-ray box set for all “Superman: The Animated Series” fans.
