Hellboy was a great movie adaptation but resulted in a franchise without a direction. Not enough fans saw the movie to justify a second picture but there was interest from Gullermo Del Toro, Ron Perlman, and others to keep the dream alive. The result? Hellboy: Sword of Storms, an animated adventure using most of the cast of Hellboy as the vocal talent. Sure, Del Toro isn’t as involved as we’d like (serving only as a consulting producer), but hopefully the animated format will be a better genre for the franchise than live action was.
Not only does the movie look good, but take a look at the bonus material as well:
