The show Teen Titans GO! is arguably a mixed bag — its humor is a hit with kids but not so much among adults, especially those who were fans of the original Teen Titans series on Cartoon Network. So it’s understandable why a select few would be apprehensive in watching Teen Titans GO! to the Movies. However, the movie was surprisingly better than expected.

Armed with a barrage of self-aware jokes that poke fun at the current state of the entire superhero movie genre, Teen Titans GO! to the Movies is sure to give kids of all ages a fun time. The film is never short on humor, but most of the jokes are still geared towards kids, as they are the target demographic after all. But the humor somehow covers up the most obvious clues and hints, especially if you’re a DC fan. And that’s the kind of appeal the film brought.

The plot may have been very predictable, but it offers very sound advice to its target market, most especially when it comes to teamwork and being true to one’s self. And given its campy nature, the film brings a much-needed different vibe from the other animated flicks DC has released this year.

TeenTitans01Finally, we have to give credit to the film’s tremendous cast of voice actors. Aside from your Teen Titans GO! Starting Five, the rest of the cast fit their roles to a tee. Will Arnett proved to be a great comedic version of Slade (*cue dramatic repetition of his name*), while fans who’ve waited since the late ‘90s to see how Nicolas Cage would fare as the Man of Steel won’t be disappointed. Other guest voice actors such as Kristen Bell, Halsey and Lil Yachty were able to nail their punchlines with ease.

Overall, Teen Titans GO! to the Movies may not be the Teen Titans movie adults have been clamoring for since the first series. But the bizarre nature of the film was its strongest asset. It’s vibrant, imaginative and funny in a way that doesn’t veer away from the typical superhero trope. In the end, it can make kids laugh and teach them a valuable lesson at the same time.
