With no prior exposure to either variation of the Teen Titans, I watched "Teen Titans Go To the Movies" at the cinema back in 2018 and found it an enjoyable, if perhaps slight, experience. My son though has, in the intervening couple of years, come to really love "Teen Titans Go!" and was insistent that we get a hold of this sequel as soon as we could.
During a battle with Gentleman Ghost (Weird Al Yankovic), his possession of Raven (Tara Strong) causes her gemstone to crack and release more of her dark demon power into the world. The gang are then kidnapped by The Master of Games (Rhys Darby) and forced to battle their ultimate opponents, themselves. Or at least, an alternate version of themselves. When the ultimate evil behind this scene reveals themselves, the two teams are forced to come together and save the multiverse.
Again, I have no dog in this fight, having never seen 2003 "Teen Titans" at all and with most of my exposure to "Teen Titans Go" either that first film, or the youtube clips I've been shown. So I'm reviewing this one on what I felt alone, and not coming in with my agenda. And I thought it was . . . . alright. I liked the animation style and the voice performances are really good, especially as the cast are playing (at least) two variations of the characters. Not quite as strong as "To the Movies" but still a reasonable time. It does nothing too revolutionary, especially as multiverse crossovers are all the rage at the moment.
Tough to recommend that people go out of their way to see it, but it's solid enough.
