Based on the comic book of the same name, this animated movie was never released in the US. It was only released on video in EU and a few other English. Why was this movie never released in the US? Simple, studios mistrust. Disney refused to release this movie when DC took control of Wildstorm (the company that owned the rights to the characters.) “Why should we make a movie for the WB company?” So, Disney buried it.
The character design is very similar to the early Batman The Animated Series. And, there is a reason for that. Some of the people behind the Batman series worked on this film. Kevin Altieri directed the movie, a director for the Batman series, and his Batman influence can be seen throughout the movie. The animation ranges from bad to good. And the acting, for the most part is good. (John de Lancie and Mark Hamill and Alicia Witt are great, but Flea is pretty annoying)
This movie is NOT for children. There is nudity, and tons of shots of female body parts. There is violence and cussing.
With a bit of re-tooling, this could be released today. (Note: the movie sets it up for a series that never happened.)
