It seems to the Teens that all the major superheroes out there are starring in their own movies-everyone but the Teen Titans, that is. But de facto leader Robin is determined to remedy the situation, and be seen as a star instead of a sidekick. If only they could get the hottest Hollywood film director to notice them. With a few madcap ideas and a song in their heart, the Teen Titans head to Tinsel Town, certain to pull off their dream. But when the group is radically misdirected by a seriously super villain and his maniacal plan to take over the Earth, things really go awry. The team finds their friendship and their fighting spirit failing, putting the very fate of the Teen Titans themselves on the line.

Teen Titans Go! To the Movies is a Musical Superhero animated film about wish fulfillment, reaching for the (Hollywood) stars and finding fame on the silver screen. And battling crime. And farting. The Titans -- Robin in particular -- desperately want the studio to make a movie about them. Besides, who wants Batman (Again)? But here's the gag: They're already in their own movie! And this is much more fun. Big, bad, and bleak Superhero films have their place -- minus Green Lantern, which will not be discussed (another in-joke) -- but it was high time for a lighter take on the Superhero world, which is exactly what Teen Titans Go! To the Movies has to offer. Set during the events of the show's fifth season, the film finds uproarious humor in a simple plot. The story is secondary to the multitude of in-jokes and references. It borders on Superhero parody and comic book fans will find it to be enormous fun.
Clean, clear, colorful. Teen Titans Go! To the Movies looks great on Blu-ray. The animated image never stumbles, offering well-defined character models and sharp background textural supports. The image shows nearly no signs of encode issues to gum up the works and the source is fresh and without flaw. Only a hint of banding in a few spots really gets in the way. Colors are the highlight. They are many and punchy, featuring perfectly dialed-in contrast that highlights the diverse spectrum of colors not only on various superhero costumes but across the rather amazing array of backgrounds and backdrops, beginning with the balloon monster and moving all the way through to the movie's exciting climax. It's a dazzler and fun to watch.
The audio soundtrack is just as impressive as the video. Teen Titans Go! To the Movies features a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 lossless soundtrack that delivers a big, well-adjusted listen that's always in balance from lighter effects to prominent explosions that yield satisfying low end depth and detail. Musical spacing and clarity alike are terrific across the film's fairly broad spectrum of score and musical numbers. Lyrics are delivered with center-focused placement. Surround speakers are frequently engaged in complimentary fashion, supporting music or carrying a number of discrete effects such as camera shutter clicks when the Titans arrive at the Batman Again movie premiere. Action scenes offer superb stage stretch and depth, enveloping the listener in several moments and extended scenes that work the sound system fairly hard. The low end is engaged with frequency and is well integrated into the track, offering deep, penetrating bass without overpowering the support elements. A good example comes during the S.T.A.R. lab assault early in the film. There's even a big, boomy, "cinematic" flair to amped-up sound effects during trailers for Alfred, The Batmobile, and The Utility Belt. Dialogue is clear and well prioritized and maintains a firm front-center positioning. This is an extremely fun and well-rounded track from Warner Brothers.
Teen Titans Go! To the Movies contains music videos, sing-alongs, featurettes, and more. A DVD copy of the film and a Movies Anywhere
digital copy code are included with purchase. This release ships with an embossed slipcover.
Teen Titans Go! To the Movies just nails it. It's completely irreverent, wholeheartedly silly, and it knows its stuff backwards and forwards. The movie should delight younger viewers looking for Superhero color and fluff while adults will enjoy picking out all the obvious and subtle references that the movie so energetically and seamlessly fits into the story. This is a breath of fresh air and a must-see for every Superhero movie fan. Warner Brothers' Blu-ray is top-notch, delivering near perfect video and audio presentations. A few extras are thrown in, too. Very highly recommended.
