There is a delicate balance when it comes to screentime with young children. Exercise too little control and you’ll watch nothing but shrill fan-made Sonic the Hedgehog YouTube videos; exercise too much and you’ll end up screaming at them while they run around the house destroying things as a Studio Ghibli film plays unwatched in the background. I am speaking from very, very recent experience here.Teen Titans Go! Season 1-7 Download.
But sometimes you hit a sweet spot. Sometimes you find a film that services you and your children equally. A film that doesn’t lose its sparkle no matter how many times you watch it. A film that, when the kids have gone to bed, you’ve sat down and watched of your own volition. For my family – and your family too, if I have my way – that film is Teen Titans Go! To the Movies.An extraordinarily great film, Teen Titans Go! To the Movies is both a superhero movie and a savage obliteration of superhero movies as a genre. The story is simple enough. A band of lesser DC heroes – Robin, Cyborg, Raven, Starfire and Beast Boy – find themselves torn apart by their leader’s monomaniacal quest for movie stardom. But Teen Titans Go! is never really about the story. It’s about the tangents, many of which stretch the limits of what a kid’s film can be to its limits.Teen Titans Go! Season 1-6 Download.
An example, and possibly the darkest possible example. At one point in the film, the Teen Titans decide to inflate their own reputations by going back in time and undoing the origin stories of all the DC greats. Krypton is saved from destruction, so Superman never reaches Earth. Bruce Wayne’s parents are redirected down a friendlier alley, so their son never becomes a tormented vigilante. When that plan fails, they have to go back in time and fix their mistakes. And, yes, this involves grabbing Martha Wayne, throwing a pearl necklace around her neck and shoving her back into the path of her murderer. Eat your heart out, Joker.
