Merry Little Batman is a perfect blend between kid and adult animated film. When it starts to pick up the pace, the movie becomes almost non-stop and a terrifically action-paced Christmas adventure. The animation style grows on you, and by the end of the movie, it is hard not to adore it because of its reminiscent older cartoons and influence from other Batman adaptations in the past. The last twenty minutes lose the energy a bit, but it's indeed a warm and cozy animation. For Batman fans like myself who understand the world and its characters, this was a joy to watch. Merry Little Christmas 🎄
A very fun and well made movie! It's the right amount of comedy and heart and Batman action. An original story with fun references all the way through for hard-core Batman fans. But at the same time just enjoyable Christmas movie with warm fuzzy feeling for all! All the voice actors fit the their roles perfectly, and the interpretation of their characters is spot on for what it is, and yet true to the comic books. This is obviously made by people that are true fans of Batman and had a clear and deliberate story to tell and everything worked together, nothing was wasted and the pacing was fantastic, and you knew you were in good hands as you watch! Enjoy!
I really want to love this movie but I just found myself feeling 'meh' in the end. The concept is interesting because it tends to get tiresome seeing gritty and tough Batman. It's great that somebody wants to lighten things up and give a more carefree view of Batman without going zany and immature to the level of Teen Titans Go.
The performances are pretty solid. I was hesitant with Luke Wilson at first but he is probably the strongest role of the film. Turns out he is well suited for the 'Bat-Dad' role.
Lastly, the animation style. I really like it. It made me feel like getting out the brushes and painting a scene. I love that it isn't too complex but still engaging.
If you're a Batman fan then check it out. Just don't expect anything eye opening or revolutionary.

Ever wondered what Batman might look like with therapy, reduced crime fighting and no longer desires to turn every single little boy under 12 into a crime fighting machine? Well, it's Luke Wilson in a beard.
This is a great holiday flick for comic geeks and their kids. It is Batman meets Home alone meets the Grinch who stole Christmas. There are so many nods to old school Batman while simultaneously mocking it. What Would Batman's chest look like without bat armor and bandages? And, yes, Dead parent jokes are definitely on the menu.
This script was written by clear long time fans of the Bat who perfectly captured Damien's try hard personality and so many winks to Gotham culture. There is one brilliant part where the flick flips to gothic black and white and then back again.
While this is definitely for kids, it is clearly written with their parental geeks in mind. Basically, it's a smart Christmas script with a nice life lesson with homages to other holiday flicks thrown in.
Also, the soundtrack slaps and pulls from multiple genres including Punk in the opening.

It's actually good. I mean way better then I thought it was going to be
If you're expecting the typical bat story you'll be disappointed
It's not Adam West zap pow
It's not Tim Burton, Frank Miller, or something a true fan would pick up off the rack on Monday
It is the Kodachrome day dream you had after reading the latest issue when you were 8... with the Vandal and Kinks soundtrack you discovered later in life
Worth a watch for life long fans.and those that like comics because no matter how old you are you're still a kid that believes that when you grow up you could be the greatest superhero.
