I’m going to level with you here: I had no idea “Teen Titans” was a thing. Am I so out of touch? No, it’s the children who are wrong. Or at least that’s the position I’m taking, even though I’m clearly out of my element given that Warner Bros. believes this is summer blockbuster worthy.
“Teen Titans GO! to the Movies” rounds up Will Arnett, Kristen Bell, Greg Cipes, Scott Menville, Khary Payton, Tara Strong, and Hynden Walch in this big screen take on the DC Entertainment and Cartoon Network show. Maybe I should be watching more Cartoon Network. Anyway, here’s the official synopsis:
When the Teen Titans go to the big screen, they go big! Teen Titans GO! to the Movies finds our egocentric, wildly satirical Super Heroes in their first feature film extravaganza—a fresh, gleefully clever, kid-appropriately crass and tongue-in-cheek play on the superhero genre, complete with musical numbers.
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” opens on July 27th.
