(Public domain cartoon) Was amazed when I watched this 1941 Superman cartoon ("The Mechanical Monsters") and recognized that "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow" (2004) copied the opening robot attack almost shot for shot. Same angles, same flying robot design, and even the way they swing their arms while walking.

There's a reason for that
I believe it's mentioned in the Sky Captain dvd features, but Conran's mother apparently worked for Fleischer Studios when the Superman cartoons were in production.
