These arent from my youth obviously, but I love them. It is evident after you watch for a bit that the folks behind these GAVE at least somewhat of a sh1t about these characters, and it shows. My wife turned me on to these a few years ago when we met, I have been a big fan since then.
The Warner style (Bruce Timm?) of this period reminds me of a less-detailed version of the older Fleischer animated Superman. Growing up on Super Friends myself, I was VERY pleased to see these characters handled in such a way - far more 'adult' - they always maintained a fine border, between being 'kid friendly' and yet showing or implying things like sexual behaviour and graphic physical violence, like a good comic book should!
The first part, not much for me to complain about, I mean, c'mon - you have this Greek 'Bravada' theme that pays homage to John Williams, and the animation is in sync and nearly perfectly done - You just know that they are the end all be all - anyone that knows of these characters would know that they could best ANY 'evil menace' ever constructed - be it time travelers, wicked masterminds, kaiju unleashed, telepathic aliens, WHATEVER - The FULL League is nearly a HUNDRED strong - no force known could defeat them!
The second part, awesome as well, though very different. Watch for the detailed shot of HawkGirl inserted in, it doesnt quite match the typical style...
Great stuff - enjoy and I hope that you havent wasted two minutes of your life!
(If you are in an appropriate place and want to be PUMPED with POSITIVE energies from the League, turn it UP! LOL)
