Obviously this isn't the best Batman movie ever but I wasn't expecting it to be. I expected it to be a decent animated Cartoon Network style movie, and that's what I got.

The story is decent enough but the action/fight sequences could be better. Also, at times it felt like there was too many characters. Penguin wanted to destroy everyone so he could be rich, but that doesn't make any sense because there's no point in being rich if you're the only one on earth.

In the last 25 year, we've seen I believe four Batman animated series, ranging in quality from the Great ("Batman the Animated Series" from 1991) to the truly awful ("Beware the Batman"- a series so dreadful that the Cartoon Network buried it like radioactive waste. Twice.)

This look like it is in the same vein, with Batman's team of Nighwing and Red Robin teaming up with the "Two Guys Who Have Popular Live Action Series Right Now But I'm Sure That's A Co-incidence". (That would be the Green Arrow and Flash, BTW, for the Sarcasm Imparied.) So there is a series of crimes being carried out by out of town villains and robotic animals, all being co-ordinated by The Penguin who really doesn't even bother to hide his complicity. His grand scheme makes even less sense than Batman Returns.

Worth a watch? Sure. The animation looks nice. The voice work is good.

This is one of several Batman Unlimited movies that also went hand in hand with a short lived television series of the same name.

What sets them apart from the rest is the setting, the franchise is set in the future and has minor tweaks on the usual DC characters.

In this one we see Batman, Green Arrow, Red Robin, Flash & Nightwing take on The Penguin, the super villians working for him and his army of mechanical animals.

I really didn't like the setting, I'm very much not into this whole alternate universe thing. Top that off with this being very kiddie friendly and despite it being an award winning effort I was hardly impressed.

I do like the concept of the Animalitia (Animal Militia) but some childish writing really ruined it for me.

The Good:

Cheetah was great

The Bad:

Nightwings hair, really?!

Not keen on the future setting

Dialogue is laughable in places

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

I found myself wondering how the DC Universe would have looked if they chose Manbat over Batman

Batman doesn't look at explosions

The Penguin has a fear of penguins, who knew?

Review batman unlimited

Remember those 1970s and 80s cartoons that were created just to con kids into buying toys? Well the trend is back, and Batman is jumping on the bandwagon. Sporting a brighter coloured new suit, a colourful supporting cast and equally multi coloured villains, BATMAN UNLIMITED: ANIMAL INSTINCT is based on the recent colourful toy line by Mattel. So colourful.

You all know the drill: hero team vs villain team. In this case, heroic Batman and pals vs the evil "Animalitia" in a citywide caper that sets the "kindness to animals" campaign back by a decade or so. The Penguin, Silverback, Cheetah, Manbat and KillerCroc are evil and want to.......no cheating now, that would be a spoiler. They want to do crime, so enter Batman N Pals Nightwing, Robin, Green Arrow and the Flash. Each one sporting a sharp pointy new look with "cool" spiked hair and diamond sharp chins. Not exactly a kid friendly toy design but.........kids seem to like this sort of thing.

A lighter tone and story for Batman can work if done well (see BRAVE AND THE BOLD). Unfortunately this is not done well. Whether intentional or not, the script sounds like it fits right in with the worst episodes of the 80s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sans the pizza. They might as well have left the pizza in though because the script is cheesy as heck. Jokes aren't funny, humour feels out of place, but the excellent cast do a fantastic job with the sub par material at hand.

Roger Craig Smith reprises his role of Batman after having played the character in some of the "Arkham" series of video games. I like his batman voice. Almost like a young Kevin Conroy. What I did not like was the horrible character design of Batman (or most of the characters for that matter).

Looking like some bad Gatchaman cosplay made with Power Ranger pyjamas, this new batman design is hilarious! The supporting cast ain't any better either; Everyone looks "stretched" and I already mentioned the silly hair. Everyone gets a cool weapon or gadget and the "money shot moment" where they get to show it off, while daddy gets another toy to add to junior's "Christmas wish list". Maybe it's not the production team's fault for the silly designs. Blame Mattel.

It is the production team's fault for the sub standard art and animation. Characters barely have any shadowing or shading on them except in the extreme close-ups, just lazy flat colouring otherwise. The backgrounds have this techy futuristic vibe that reminds me of BATMAN BEYOND but they are equally flat and look worse off than Batman Beyond's lower quality episodes. The animation is barely better with its inconsistent nature. You have scenes that are smooth moving, an easy feat thanks to the simplistic artwork. But you have a good number of scenes that look like a flash animated internet browser game. Robot animals don't transform much less "melt" from animal to motorbike. And i absolutely hate that cheapskate tactic of blurring key frames to create the illusion of movement! Some parts seem to be drawing from the worst excesses of Japanese anime with the speed lines and freeze frames, just more lazy animation at work.

Just because kids don't mind doesn't mean you give them animation on the cheap. If JLA TRAPPED IN TIME was the new millennium's "Superfriends", then BATMAN UNLIMITED is this decade's rehash of the 1970s "adventures of Batman with Robin the Boy Wonder". With production values of a TV series episode, perhaps this movie would be more suited as a pilot for a Saturday morning cartoon. Compared to other direct-to-video animation, this is ignorant fun for kids and a Cheesy, sub-par curiosity for adults who yearn for the nostalgic days of cartoons that sell toys.

The first of three DTV movies made to promote Mattel's action figure line of the same name. Batman, Nightwing, Flash, Green Arrow, and Red Robin team up to take on Penguin and his 'Animalitia' (Killer Croc, Cheetah, Man-Bat, and Silverback) and their plan to divert an asteroid known as the Midas Heart due to pass by Earth in order to get the gold at its centre.

Much of the voice cast has a solid history with DC; Roger Craig Smith (Batman), John DiMaggio (Killer Croc), Will Friedle (Nightwing), Phil LaMarr (Man-Bat), Charlie Schlatter (Flash), Laura Bailey (Cheetah), Keith Szarabajka (Silverback), Yuri Lowenthal (Red Robin), and Alastair Duncan (Alfred). Animation is pretty good (there are a couple of places where the action seems to 'jump' a little), as are the costume designs (a prototype Batsuit featured at the beginning is an obvious nod to Batman Beyond!). Gotham itself has a Blade Runner/sci-fi look, rather than the more familiar BTAS/Burton type of design. Dialogue, although corny at times, is pretty snappy.

This doesn't approach the depth of the DCAU, and it never claims to. It's just fun, with a feel of Batman: The Brave and the Bold, or the movie JLA Adventures: Trapped in Time. 7/10.

This is just a rotten cartoon. I honestly don't think it would entertain anyone over the age of six.

If you don't know what Batman Unlimited is, it's essentially a line Batman universe toys which, until now, didn't have any cartoon or comicbook to back them up. This movie attempts to do that for kids... but yeah, it's not even worth the $3.99 digital view price.

The first thing you'll notice on viewing it is that, unlike previous Direct-to-DVD DC Comics cartoons, this one doesn't fly under the "Warner Premier" banner. Meaning it has none the writing pedigree or production values of movies like "Under the Red Hood" or "Batman: Gotham Knight." And that shows in how full of plot holes and contrivances this toon is; such as the bat-dog-robot-motorcycle and the clumsy attempt to tie in the Batman Beyond suit, which is instantly forgotten to move on to the next in a line of "neon street luge batman" bat costumes you get throughout the viewing. Villains are given no more reason to work together and no more plot than the fact that they share an animal theme, and one of the heroes just happens to be hanging around Gotham City despite not even having a connection to Batman ever mentioned.

In other words, the movie is a 90 minute toy commercial, and it makes the original Thundercats and Silverhawks seem like Shakespeare by comparison.

This movie has a style that is different from most, if not all Batman movies so far. It is quite a bit lighter, brighter in the less serious sense. So if you're open to see something a bit different, you'll enjoy it. If you are hoping to see something that goes along with the previous Batman movies, you might feel that your expectations aren't met.

Had this movie tried to merge its colorful, somewhat more cartoony style with a serious, dark narrative that is usually a common thing to expect, given that it plays in Gotham, it would have failed to do so and felt really out of place. Instead it takes events a bit less serious, mixing well written, witty dialogue that has some quite entertaining moments with a story that is simple, but serves its purpose, resulting in a combination that works - if you're open to see these kind of things (and don't expect to be surprised by intricate plot-twists - other reviews pick up on this). That also makes this movie quite easy to stomach for the younger audiences. Style, story and dialogue have been chosen to work together, which is nice to see.

The animation quality is very much acceptable and up to the task, voice acting is very nice! No complaints there. The soundtrack is also good.

Enjoyed!

Bad bad so very bad.

I am a huge batman fan and watched every piece that has come from the franchise so far. This lackluster monstrosity to the batman name should have never been made.

Watching the trailer it seemed like a great way of doing a new take on the batman. It failed. The plot was ridiculous in points (beyond normal superhero film levels), characters were boring and I am struggling to come up with one positive point except the animation was good about 30% of the time.

Do not watch this and making your children watch this is child abuse.

The only reason I gave this entry to the DC animated universe a five is because it's Batman. That's it. What we have here is a futuristic Gotham with the ol' good guys against the ol' bad guys scenario. The basic plot has the Penguin recruiting many of the animal super-villains--Cheetah, Silverback, Killer Croc, among others--to help pull off a heist of, ahem, cosmic proportions. Naturally, the good guys have to stop them and you can guess the rest.

First, the good points. Decent music, fast moving, some good fight sequences.

And now, the bad. The animation looks like it's been scaled down significantly. I'm not expecting Pixar. I am expecting something decent. This wasn't. Batman's suit (light blue) hearkens back to the late 1960's take and it doesn't suit (no pun intended) this day and age. His gold get-through-the-force-field suit reminded me of some lousy Japanese anime...double ungood.

As for the script, again, while War and Peace ain't on the menu, this makes Jack and Jill Go Up the Hill read like a masterpiece. Cheesy, poor humor, poorer lines...the one good thing was the voice cast that did what they could with their parts. I miss Kevin Conroy doing the voice of Batman. He had the bearing. His replacement sounds like a slightly younger version of him, but with no depth.

The actress doing Cheetah sounds like a whiny child, and I got zero sense of menace behind any of the baddies. Not their fault, really; 'twas the script that done 'em in.

Finally, all the old stereotypes of animals being what they are were trotted out, and quite frankly, that kind of thinking should have gone out fifty years ago.

I heard this direct-to-DVD effort was to sell toys. My only question is: How many? Nothing wrong with selling goods to the kiddies, but this video is an insult to any comic book/cartoon fan.

This is awful Batman Story and they even manage to pull in to that black whole Green Arrow and Flash. For real this one of the worst animated movies I have watched to date and I felt that I wasted one hour and sixteen minutes all for nothing. Anyway I at least can warn you dear reader to not see it.

I am pretty sure that the team behind that junk haven't read, watch or even work in a DC animated flick before for they would know who to do it if not excellent then in a respective manner. This flick is a huge marketing trick in order to get money by selling toys. Toy Story itself had less merchandise and it was about freaking toys for crying out loud. And my three out of ten shows how high I have this tactics in order for the studio make money!

At this moment I feel bad for I saw again my favorite superhero been in bad flick after Batman and Robin for I though "It is almost two decades for his abomination ,everyone by now should have learn what to avoid".Well that film broke this belief in me. Also the cherry on top of this Pyle of horse dump has a lot of inconsistencies!

In the end avoid it at all cost it doesn't deserve a chance of this flick is a insult to the comics' mythology!

I don't typically publish reviews, but after seeing so many negative reviews on this release I wanted to set the record straight. I grew up on Batman: The Animated Series, Batman Beyond, Justice League, and the like, and have delved deeply into every DC Animated feature released since. True enough, this is not the dark, grim, graphic and violent Batman that our generation is accustomed to; but, in fairness, it's not meant to be. This film is meant for kids and their parents to enjoy together, and in that sense, I think it's awesome. I'll even go a step further, and say that this the first animated Batman film in quite awhile that I would say is kid-friendly for all age groups.There's action, there's comedy, there's loud noises and character development and robots and superheroes and just about everything a young batman enthusiast could ever want. If you're expecting Christopher Nolan's introspective take on the Batman or Scott Snyder's detail-oriented writing skill, you're looking in utterly the wrong place. But if you're looking for a fun, family adventure with the Bat Family, Green Arrow, and The Flash, look no further than this installment. Glad to hear that there's a sequel on the way!

Right, well I can't really claim to be much of a fan of the superhero genre in any of its many variations. But I do watch the movies, solely for the purpose of being entertained by watching a movie. However, I do not take the stories or characters to heart, as it is merely fleeting entertainment.

I got the chance to sit down and watch the 2015 "Batman Unlimited: Animal Instincts" animated movie with my 8 year old son. It turned out that he enjoyed watching it, as he found the villains to be entertaining - not that he cared much for the hero characters. I, on the other hand, wasn't overly thrilled by anything found in the entire animated movie.

The story was adequate, taking into consideration what it actually is - an animated "Batman" movie. The plot was predictable and there weren't any plot twists along the way, which made it all a very monotone ride along rails with no curves or ups and downs.

The characters in the movie were bland, in my opinion, and there weren't actually much of any character development. It was essentially just the heroes running around bringing the fight to the villains. Oh gee, like in every single other animated superhero movie before and after this one. So not much of anything new or innovative here.

As for the animation, well I will say that it was actually the animated movie's most strong side. It was actually nice enough to look at.

Not a particularly outstanding animated movie here. But if you are a fan of "Batman" or the superhero genre in general - or DC comics - then you might actually get a kick out of "Batman Unlimited: Animal Instincts".

Gotham City is being attacked by 'animal' villains with animal robots. Penguin, Cheetah, Man-Bat, Killer Croc, and Silverback call themselves Animalitia. Penguin has created the robots and the tech with help from Dr. Kirk Langstrom. Batman, the Flash, Green Arrow, Nightwing, and Red Robin oppose them.

This seems to be a random group of villains connected by a superficial characteristic. Even after the reveal, it's still not relevant why these are all animal-based villains. Without a good explanation, this is nothing more than a gimmick. They are really the zoo crew. The animation is ok. The premise just bugs me. Not bugs me. Animals me.

Random DC Batman related (mostly) heroes unite to fight a bunch of random DC Batman related (mostly) villains in a random story that has no particular direction other than an excuse for random mediocre action sequences with a bunch of random bad jokes that amount to nothing of value.

It looks and sounds and feels particularly directed to the most infant of DC fans. Meaning almost babies. And even them deserve better than this.

There is not much to hate. It's just bad. All of it. A waste of everyone's time, with no particularly good reason for this movie to have ever existed. Random Bat-Crap.

"Batman Unlimited: Animal Instincts" is pure fun and probably better than all of the gory cartoons, which were released recently /although I loved them as well!/. The movie is very nice, with great animation and charming cast of heroes, who fight beastly villains and try to uncover a nefarious plot of the Penguin! To be honest, I like this new Bat-team better than the Justice League or the Avengers - all of the selected heroes are my favorites! I am particularly happy that Nightwing is among them - he is a favorite of mine and I still hope that one day, hopefully sooner rather than later, we'll see a movie, dedicated to him alone. But here he is still cool and so are the rest of heroes! Overall, the movie is great fun and non-stop action from the beginning to the end, which is always nice. Heartily recommended.

Definitely takes on a different tone compared to a lot of the other DC animated movies - Batman and Gotham itself are a both somewhat sleeker and lack the gritty edginess in other media. The other main characters (eg Nightwing, Flash, Red Robin, Green Arrow) all seem to be a bit different from their comic book counterparts too, or are a mashup of a few personalities and versions of that character.

It works in this movie though, as the group prove to be a team that work well together as heroes should, despite their differences. Even with limited screentime, we get a decent amount of insight about these versions of characters whether you know them from the comic books or not. The ongoing banter between Nightwing and Flash are particularly amusing.

The villain's plans are weak and won't stand up to close examination, but you don't watch a movie like this for groundbreaking ideas and serious explanations.

I'm still more used to certain actors for some roles, but the overall voice acting was fine. The pace is fast and and doesn't get bogged down. The incidental humour is suitable for all ages, in other words not just silly kid laughs.

Overall a fun watch if you don't take yourself or the movie too seriously.

I think the concept arises from Beast Wars: Transformers at TV series that debuted in 1996, serving as the flagship of the Transformers: Beast Wars franchise. Simply put we have vehicles transforming into animals. Example a motorcycle transforming into a panther and vice versa.

Plot: Oswald Cobblepot(The Penguin) enters into elite society, but however is shunned as a freak. In order to gain respect by terror, he funds the creation of robotic animals which are more than capable of defeating superheroes like Batman, Green Arrow and The Flash. So now Batman and his allies must find a way to stop The Penguin, his robots and his hired goons: Cheetah, Killer Croc, Man-Bat and Silverback.

Directed by the seasoned Butch Lukic who has worked on animated series like Superman, Batman Beyond and Justice League. Dana Snyder beautifully portrays the eccentric, maniacal and sinister Penguin. John DiMaggio plays Killer Croc and notable actor Charlie Schlatter plays The Flash. Not to forget to mention Laura Bailey as Cheetah. Roger Craig Smith has been chosen to voice-act Batman. Seasoned voice-actor Richard Epcar plays the part of commissioner Gordon. Veteran actor Alastair Neil Duncan(Split Second 1992) plays the role of Alfred Pennyworth.

Verdict: good enough to buy if you get the opportunity. Your attention will be held from start to finish.

Thanks for reading this review, may you live long and prosper.
