All those mister cranky-pants who gave this a weak rating really should stop and consider where this fits into the history of DC Animation. First, the retro design and colors are consistent with the short homage/montage at the begging. To those of us who remember where and when this all started, that was telling. And welcome. The script is sharp enough to withstand de-construction in film class, it establishes characters, sets a story arc, and builds nicely. There is a lot of humor and whimsy here too. An extra bonus is the development of the two boys against the backstories of their parents. It works well. Overall, one of the enjoyable animated features in years. ((Designated "IMDb Top Reviewer."
