Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
View MoreIt really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

View Morehi!,i think super president is one of the best cartoons of the 1960's the plot of the story is that when president who was hit by Dangerus cosmic rays,he'd been given great super powers to change his body structure into what ever he wished such as radio waves,gas,or whatever he chose for the cause of justice!,NO One Calls Him Super President But,Jerry Sells his Aid And Friend,They fight Such Deadly Foes as Steel Man,The Chameleon,And Delgotdoe!,as well as Fighting Over Seas Terrorist,.the plots and stories Were well done,And action packed.,the music of the show was also well done And the art and coloring was great for the 1960's!,i wished someone would have put out a comic book this 60's super hero!,I Wish IT Had Been Me!
View More"SUPER PRESIDENT" was DePatie-Freleng's first action-adventure cartoon series that the studio produced in association with Mirisch-Rich Prods. and United Artists Television for NBC in 1967. this cartoon series,mostly regarded as a very bad joke,for depicting a US President as a Super Hero often fell under serious criticism,mostly due to the violence. Fall 1967 was interesting,since Saturday morning cartoons that year,were mostly Super Hero themed,and heavily action adventured. you had the premier of the first "SPIDER MAN" cartoon series,and "THE FANTASTIC FOUR" on ABC-then on CBS,there was "THE SUPERMAN-AQUAMAN HOUR OF ADVENTURE" along with "THE HERCULOIDS","SHAZZAN" and "MOBY DICK and The MIGHTY MIGHTOR"-so with all these serious cartoons,NBC's "SUPER PRESIDENT" cartoon was a nice try but lost seriously to its other competition!The cartoon series also featured the "SPY SHADOW" segment,which wasn't so bad. Ted Cassidy,"Lurch" from "THE ADDAMS FAMILY",and a year before landing the role and voice of "Injun Joe" in "THE NEW ADVENTURES OF HUCK FINN" voiced Private Eye Richard Vance,who,through intense mystical training,could animate his "Spy Shadow" alter ego,in his fight against crime and evil! then of course,there was Super President,alias James Norcross,who,with his aide Jerry Sales,fought a variety of both exotic, and inter-galactic menaces,as the main character had possessed the ability to molecularly transform himself into any element,while using his Super Powers for the good of America,,sure wish we had a President like this in real life-but politics aside,this DePatie-Freleng cartoon show didn't last very long,and faded from view by 1968. veteran,and legendary voice over Paul Frees both voiced this character,and narrated the episodes. it was still interesting to watch,and if you overlook the ridiculous aspect,this was a typical 1960s cartoon show, with simple characters,despite being labeled as the worst cartoon ever to run on Saturday mornings. DePatie-Freleng,best known for their main creation,"THE PINK PANTHER",later went-on to make better cartoon shows in their TV history-most notably,"RETURN TO THE PLANET OF THE APES" in 1975,using "JONNY QUEST" designer Doug Wildey,as a character designer, who did a great job with this Fox franchise! but with "SUPER PRESIDENT" it was the first Patriotic Saturday morning super hero ever created,even though it was frowned upon,it was still enjoyable to watch,depending on your sense of humor,and the violence that it depicted-which later incurred the wrath of angry parents,who complained about all the cartoon violence,and changed most of the way Saturday morning cartoons were done and made-giving way,to the likes of "SCOOBY-DOO" and "The ARCHIES"-a fitting change from the Super hero cartoons,that once ruled the weekends!
View MoreThis series featured two characters, Super President (James Norcross) ( voiced by Paul Frees) and Spy Shadow, the living shadow of Secret Agent Richard Vance (both magnificently voiced by Ted Cassidy). Forget the silly title Super President. What we have is a noble caring man who, with his aide, Jerry Sales, fights menaces to society with his element changing powers. The stories are sometimes silly, but sometimes poignant and profound. The writing varies, but is sometimes excellent. The background music is sometimes very effective. If only this could be commercially released.The Spy Shadow segment (one in each episode) is sometimes silly and sometimes charming. This occurred during the wane of the secret agent era. This, like other children's shows, taught values and emphasized right over wrong. The office of the president was shown with respect. I have fond memories of this wonderful series produced by David H. DePatie and Friz Freleng.
View MoreIn the 60s this was the coolest cartoon on the air! The leader of the free world, chief executive one minute, superhero the next. Able to convert his body into any element he desires. Okay, it made no sense, but who cares! I learned a lot about the elements watching this (it's a start, at least!). The other cartoon, Spy Shadow (Super Prez is too good, he doesn't take the whole half-hour to battle the bad guys) is even more fantastic. The plot is equally preposterous ( a secret agent learns total mind control to the point that he can use his shadow to act as his bodyguard/sidekick!) but the action is amazing (certainly more exciting than Man From UNCLE). Depatie-Freleng does it again!
