This spring, Cartoon Network Enterprises and Warner Home Video are bringing the heat with the release of Cartoon Network’s first original CGI movie event – FIREBREATHER
– on Blu-ray and DVD. Based on the comic book series written by Phil Hester and Andy Kuhn and on the heels of a fantastic broadcast debut on Cartoon Network, the spellbinding film follows 16-year-old Duncan (Jesse Head, Summerland, So Little Time) as the new kid in school, who struggles with normal teenage problems like making friends and bad luck with girls – while also dealing with orange skin and an appetite for coal instead of sandwiches. After all, it can’t be easy having an overprotective mom (Dana Delany, Tombstone, Desperate Housewives) who wants you to lead a normal life and a dad (Kevin Michael Richardson, The Cleveland Show, Ben 10 Ultimate Alien) who wants you to take over the world! Watch what happens as Duncan struggles to find his place as half-human and half-Kaiju – a race of ancient, powerful creatures.

This DVD contains a great movie! If you already a fan, or if you are just starting you will be drawn in by the great writing as well as the great animation. I am a big superhero fan and there are some great connections between this cartoon and some of the superhero cartoons that I used to watch in the past as well. All-in-all this is a great DVD/movie and one that I would highly recommend in the future for anyone who loves CGI and cartoons!
