Raycevick's Recommendations: Batman: Mask of the Phantasm

Last year, I was pulled through two animations I really loved, Avatar The Last Airbender, and Star Wars Clone Wars. So when one of the friends who pulled me through one of the shows said "we're watching Mask of the Phantasm" I rolled with it.

Little conversation took place, because in visuals, music, and storytelling, Mask of the Phantasm is great. It truly feels like a Comic adaptation down to the framing and illustrations of scenes, but what really caught me off guard in this movie were the characters.

There's flashbacks, romance, origin stories, tons of things that ordinarily ring alarm bells, and yet, the film does it with such confidence and purpose, it drew me in.

I'm looking forward to checking out the rest of the animated series, and I won't be surprised if you'll feel the same after watching this.
