Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo (2006)

Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo (2006)
Dirs. Michael Chang + Ben Jones + Matt Youngberg

A feature-length adventure set after the end of the Teen Titans TV Series (2003-06). It's a movie in its own right, but can be seen as a series finale, too, which helps salve the feeling that the series didn't get a satisfying final episode of its own.

The mini heroes go to Tokyo in pursuit of a bad guy, and despite Robin insisting that it's not a vacation, the rest of the team don't pay much attention to him - Beast Boy, in particular.

It's funny, fast-paced, well-written, full of heart, and has wonderful characterisation. The Titans are voiced by the same actors as they were in the series, with the addition of Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa and Keone Young on the Japanese side.

As well as tackling the main villain, the team members have their own challenges to overcome.

I haven't a single negative thing to say about it. It made me want to re-watch the TV series.
