Summary: Two great Batman films, So-So DVD
Comment: "Mask of the Phantasm" and "Subzero" are two fine animated Batman films (two of the best animated films in general). But it's too bad that none of the DVD's, including this "Double Feature", have any interesting special features. There is lack of audio commentary, behind-the-scenes featurettes, deleted scenes, etc. And the quality of the movies themselves are only mediocre: none of them have been digitally remastered. I'm hoping there will be Special Editions of these two movies soon. But until then, I'll enjoy these for what they are.

Summary: 2 for 1
Comment: Two movies for the price of one. I like the SubZero movie better, but still a great product for the price. Wish it was in 16:9 format.

Summary: Continuing a great tradition....
Comment: SubZero was a good end to the original Batman: The Animated Series. It's like watching a long episode. Mask of the Phantasm is just one of the best comic book cartoon movies ever. One thing that I always liked about the 90's DC Animated Universe is that it really wasn't just for kids. They made it more accessible to adults. Both of these probably shouldn't be watched with very young kids alone. Get these for your collection if you like DC Animated.

Summary: Great movies, insulting DVD releases and mislabled amazon entry as Widescreen
Comment: Others have reviewed these 2 excellent films, this is focused on the DVD product here. No remastering, horrible PLII sound (no 5.1) and the complete slap in the face of a 4x3 cropped "fullscreen" version of Phamtasm. Not to mention the amazon listing shows both 4x3 and "widescreen" this is flat out false information. The menu for Mask shows in widescreen, as soon as you play the movie, it shifts to 4x3 and even has the dreaded "Has been formatted to fit your TV" insult. Umm my tv is 720p 16x9. This cropped DVD has *not* been formatted to fit "my screen" it was formatted to fit portable DVD players for kids on airplanes, the mistaken target audience.
The true target audience is adults who enjoy a darker batman instead of the chawrrible flaming camp of the Schuemacher films.
In short this disc was a mistake purchase, I assumed I was getting a 16x9 anamorphic Mask movie and a native 4x3 Freeze movie.
Also beware this is a double sided disc, on print art on the disc. It's almost as if they are encouraging people to pirate the movie instead as this release was straight up robbery.

Summary: One great film (MOTP) and one good film (Subzero) together on one disc...
Comment: When I was growing up back in 1992 I was a big fan of Batman: The Animated Series and I still am. So needless to say when I saw Batman: Mask of the Phantasm in theaters I loved it and I thought it was better than Tim Burton's rendition of Batman.
When I saw Subzero for the first time I thought it paled in comparison to Mask of the Phantasm but I thought it was still enjoyable because it was kind of a companion piece to Batman & Robin...and Subzero was actually better than Batman & Robin.
I think bundling Mask of the Phantasm and Subzero together is great a idea but I just wish the WB had done this sooner. I'm not upset about the WB leaving Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman out of the bundle because quite frankly I never liked Mystery of the Batwoman in the first place.

Twice the fight: 2 feature-length Dark Knight adventures! Cold-blooded crime comes to Gotham City: Archvillain Mr. Freeze kidnaps Batgirl, and the Dark Knight and Robin scramble to rescue her before she’s forever iced in the animated chiller-thriller movie Batman and Mr. Freeze Subzero. Ultra-cool style and excitement continue in the theatrical feature Batman Mask of the Phantasm, where we meet a hunted criminal named…Batman. Accused of murders carried out by a sinister masked figure, Batman is determined to clear his name. And that sets in motion a menacing, multi-layered tale filled with surprising revelations about our caped hero’s past. Expect the unexpected in "a mystery that is genuinely absorbing, suspenseful and moving" (Cincinnati Enquirer).
