When the Teen Titans go to the big screen, they go big! “Teen Titans GO! to the Movies” finds our egocentric, wildly satirical superheroes 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. Get ready to LOL when “Teen Titans GO! to the Movies” arrives on Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and Digital.
The first-ever big-screen version of DC Entertainment and Cartoon Network’s animated TV show stars Greg Cipes (TV’s “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”) as Beast Boy, Scott Menville (TV’s “Spider-Man”) as Robin, Khary Payton (TV’s “The Walking Dead”) as Cyborg, Tara Strong (the “My Little Pony” franchise) as Raven, and Hynden Walch (TV’s “Adventure Time with Finn & Jake”) as Starfire, reprising their roles from the series. Will Arnett (“The LEGO® Batman Movie”) and Kristen Bell (“Frozen”) also lend their voices as the evil Slade and Hollywood director Jade Wilson.
Peter Rida Michail and Aaron Horvath directed the film from a screenplay by Michael Jelenic and Horvath, which is based on characters from DC. Horvath, Jelenic, Peggy Regan, Michail and Arnett produced the film with Sam Register serving as executive producer. The music is by Jared Faber. Superman was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.

My Take on the Movie
I had watched many of the other Teen Titan cartoons in the past and as a comic fan and fan of the comic Teen Titans too. While the cartoon became quite a bit different than the comic. It brought in comedy and you get to see the Teen Titans in a way that was similar and a bit different than the original series.
This movie explores why the Titans and in specific, Robin, can’t get a movie made about him. The Titans realize that they need an archnemesis to be more popular. They get a chance to find popularity as they go up against Slade (a character that reminds me a bit of Deadpool). Slade quickly sees how inept the Teen Titans are and he takes advantage of this. The movie shows the Teen Titans as a bit of a joke and kind of anti-heroes.
Robin’s single focus is a bit of an issue as he leaves his friends, endangers others and more. By doing this he runs afoul of some of the major super heroes alsong with his friends too.
This movie was definitely funny and I will also complement the music as well.
Despite its silly plot, and the random feel of the movie, Teen Titans Go! To the Movies is a fun way to spend an hour an half. If you loved the Teen Titans cartoon from the past you will lov at a movie theater. It isn’t a masterpiece, but boy was it fun watching the Titans get into hilariously, stupid situations. Fans of comic book movies will love the homage this movie pays to the films of the genre, but casual viewers may find this movie super silly and totally illogical.
