When Filmation Associates produced this toon in 1963, the name of the studio was "Jiro Entertainment". Only in 1966 the studio was called "Filmation Associates", when they produced "The New Adventures of Superman".

1963 i remember everything was about space. School science projects ,it was allways a box with planets on strings in it.  I do remember this cartoon.

Lou and Hal were only still directing here. Norm was not even in the Associates (which still wasn't incorporated at this point) yet. He basically joined around the time they started doing Superman.

the capitol stock music was cheesy... they were better off with the Gordon Zahler and later the Yvette Blaise music.

Hey, what about Hal Sutherland? He was one of Filamtion's co-founders too!

Sounds like Hal Smith did almost every character.
