Answers from Dave Smith, Disney's Archives Director

Dave SaysQ. When I was a kid I recall a Disney movie about a would-be superhero called Condorman. Was he Disney's first live-action superhero, and who animated the cartoon Condorman credits sequence at the start of the movie?

A. Condorman was released in 1981. You could probably say he was Disney's first superhero. The title animation was done by Disney animator Michael Cedeno.
