I do like how the characters are handled.
The theme song is decent, enjoyable to listen to despite some of the lyrics coming off kinda chessy. The action is solid/decent, the martial arts chirography is good and I like the use of the vehicles, weapons and super powers. I even like how there was some sense of plot development in some places, though sadly this doesn't completely pay off most cartoons weren't taken seriously back then what are you going to do.
#DOUBLE DRAGON CARTOON MOVIE MOVIE#
The story is solid, I like that they kept the simplistic plot from the game, however they added some things making the show a bit of a pulp fantasy kinda like the movie "Big Trouble in Little China" which I personally didn't mind since I like that movie. Background animation is solid but I like the character animation the most, each of the characters are designed memorably. The animation is solid, it's not the greatest animation I've ever saw but it's good enough in my book.
It's true that this cartoon probably isn't going to be for everyone since it does take plenty of liberties which may or may not be agreeable but a lot of adaptations of works do, it's that fine line of being different and the same at the same time to stand on it's own. There's really not a whole lot I can say. The fact that there was a cartoon adaptation for this video game franchise, I was slightly sceptically about since cartoon adaptations for video game franchises have always been hit or miss with me, this one I personally thought was one of those hits, and one that crawled under the radar. It was also one of the factors that go me into martial arts and become a martial artist.
The fact you can play martial artists to fight crime with martial arts skills and weapons to pick up along the way was awesome. Double Dragon is one of my favorite video game franchises, the first game (the arcade game) was one of the first video games I've played.
