I'm curious - how many of you have seen the animated series?
It also misses a number of crucial plot elements, but it is extremely
well-done for a kidzflick, and (IMHO) closer to the original than the
movie.
Being unable to show blood/death/destruction and being limited to the TV
length cramped their style somewhat, but it is actually pretty
enjoyable.

under it is repugnant and unnatural to them.
