At a time when it looked as if there wasn't going to be another live-action Hellboy film, creator Mike Mignola teamed up with Tad Stones to make this visually stunning animated adaptation (the scene in the forest with the spiders is a standout). Taking place sometime after the events of the first film & focusing primarily on the paranormal, this features the 3 principal cast members of Ron Perlman, Selma Blair & Doug Jones (who gets to use his own voice this time) reprising their roles & being joined by Professor Kate Corrigan (clearly replacing Tom Manning), apart from taking moments directly from the comics (such as the Heads sequence), there are some fabulous nods to Highlander & the Simpsons episode El Viaje Misterioso de nuestro Jomer
Definitley recommended if you're a fan of the Del Toro film but especially if you love the comics.
