Great animation by DC

Great animation, the movie is very good and teen's and adults should enjoy it. This only makes me only hope for more titles and for the dream animation of super-friends and marvel's Xmen in the same title or at the least a nice competition between straight to DVD animations by both DC and Marvel. The next logical step is animation to the big screen. Using limited screens if necessary to turn a profit. This takes me back to the early 80's watching super-friends early on Saturday morning, before we knew anything about health care, global economics and to big to fail organizations. I must admit while watching those cartoons on Saturday morning there were public service announcements's about respecting the environment and conserving energy
