What's the Story?

In FANTASTIC FOUR: WORLD'S GREATEST HEROES the four superhero members of the Fantastic Four, The Invisible Woman (Lara Gilchrist), Mr. Fantastic (Hiro Kanagawa), The Human Torch (Christopher Jacot), and The Thing (Brian Dobson), work together to fight and defeat some of the Marvel universe's fiercest villains.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say : Not yet rated
Kids say ( 1 ):

Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes delivers exactly what fans would expect -- classic comic book style animation, clear cut good guys, and a story arc in which the heroes face danger but always triumph in the end. Predictable and short on nuanced lessons, the concise episodes still contain epic battles and sparks of humor. The lack of backstory may leave some viewers feeling lost, though, making the show most appealing to existing fans of the Fantastic Four franchise.
