>> 2-Disc Sp.Ed. DVD Review by John J. Puccio »
EXCERPT: "Wonder Woman" is a perfectly acceptable cartoon movie of its kind. If you like its kind. However, this adult finds most direct-to-video and television cartoons pretty run-of-the-mill, and "Wonder Woman" is no exception. The movie isn't trying to compete with a Pixar product, after all. It uses cardboard characters and routine action, with only some of the background art and the main character's origin story of any serious interest.

Synopsis:
Some heroes are made. This one was born.
On the mystical island of Themyscira, a proud and fierce warrior race of Amazons have raised a daughter of untold beauty, grace and strength Princess Diana. When an Army fighter pilot, Steve Trevor, crash-lands on the island, the rebellious and headstrong Diana defies Amazonian law by accompanying Trevor back to civilization. Meanwhile, Ares (the god of War) has escaped his imprisonment at the hands of the Amazonians and has decided to exact his revenge - intending to start a world war that will not only last for centuries but will wipe out every living being on the planet, starting with the Amazons! It is up to Princess Diana to save her people and the world by using her gifts and becoming the ultimate Wonder Woman!
