The combination of an electrical storm and a strange rune gives a young actress (the voice of Anna Paquin) chameleon-like abilities. In addition to using her new powers to save the world from a crazed villain, she has to find the time to study for exams.   Features Mosaic-Ku DVD Game 16 Page Comic Book: The Condor By Stan Lee Audio: English Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound Audio: English, Spanish Dolby Digital Stereo Dubbed: Spanish Featurettes: Architecture Traits - Interview With Director Roy Smith & Chameleon Traits - Interview With Stan Lee Interactive Menus Introduction By Stan Lee Photo Gallery Scene Selection   Technical Info Release Information Studio: Foxvideo Release Date: 1/9/2007 Running Time: 72 minutes Original Release Date: 2006 Catalog ID: 2096 UPC: 00013138209689 Number of Discs: 1 Audio & Video Original Language: English Available Audio Tracks: English [CC], English, Spanish Dubbed Video: Color Aspect Ratio Anamorphic Widescreen  1.78:1   Cast & Crew Anna Paquin - Voice Of Kirby Morrow - Voice Of Roy Allen Smith - Director Scott Lobdell - Writer Stan Lee - Based On Characters Created by Stan Lee - Executive Producer   Related Videos Hancock Batman - The Dark Knight

I can see from this animated movie Stan Lee is ensuring a new breed of super hero audience is being engaged to keep this form of entertainment alive and kicking. Not written as an adult-gauged story, but more for current youth to experience the genre of animated entertainment targetting the topic of a normal person becoming empowered with abilities beyond the norm. Scott Lobdell, known for writing about character development in his comic stories during the Uncanny X-Men days, definitely was true to form in putting much focus on the main character changing from a young actress to a hero. Young family members 15 and under will probably appreciate this more, as this is not written to present Stan Lee's old work or something even close to this as times have changed - so has Stan's storytelling to adjust with the times.
