Superhero shorts have humor, a bit of fantasy violence.

What's the Story?
MARVEL FUNKO is a series of 3D animated video shorts starring Marvel characters presented in Funko pop style. From Spiderman and Iron Man fighting Thor's brother Loki, to Deadpool fighting Venom with spicy chimichangas, each story shows how the superheroes from the Marvel universe are able to defeat evil, one nemesis at a time.
Is It Any Good?
These fun, lighthearted comic-style shorts feature some of Marvel's most popular characters fighting their enemies while looking like big-eyed Funko dolls. Each approximately 90-second episode shows a friend in peril, an anti-hero in action, or other situations that call for a superhero or two. But the series successfully balances brief moments of crime fighting action with humor, despite the lack of dialogue. The result is a collection of stories that are suited for young viewers looking for a chance to watch some of their favorite Marvel superheroes. However, Marvel Funko is still well-produced enough to entertain those who are less familiar with the universe.
