I still can't quite believe this movie exists. Setting aside for a moment the way it subverts the American exceptionalist ideology found in most superhero narratives, this kind of frenetic, overly busy visual composition is what made me fall in love with Speed Racer over a decade ago, and it's part of what I find so compelling about the stargate sequence in 2001 (and you just try to tell me that when Miles looks directly into the Super-Collider and sees the main titles to Spider-Man (2002) that isn't its own mini stargate sequence). Here's a more technical explanation of why this movie's so visually impressive, but personally I just love the way it actually looks like a comic book, even down to the imitation-ball-point-pen shading, but still works as a moving, three-dimensional animation
I have some slightly more coherent things to say about this movie here and here
