As Prime Video becomes Batman’s new streaming home, the animated feature film Merry Little Batman arrives there to ring in the holidays. Featuring an all-star cast and distinct animation style, the movie is a fun-filled adventure geared toward younger audiences that may not be every fan’s cup of tea but brings its own solid take on the Batman legacy. Reminiscent of classic European animation, Merry Little Batman works best when it downplays its manic tendencies and focuses on its sentimental undertones.After seemingly eradicating all crime in Gotham City, Bruce Wayne turns his attention towards raising his young son Damian with his longtime family butler, Alfred Pennyworth. However, when Bruce and Alfred are drawn away from Wayne Manor on Christmas Eve, Damian finds himself drawn into a criminal conspiracy involving Gotham’s greatest supervillains. Without his father to help him, Damian sets out to become his own pint-sized Caped Crusader — not only saving Christmas but proving himself worthy of his superhero legacy.The villains come off the best, with Merry Little Batman leaning into the cartoonish possibilities that come with their costumed personas. This unique art style also extends to the environments seen throughout the film, with static backgrounds often framing the madcap action set pieces as Damian tangles with the supervillains. Featuring a more muted color palette, the environmental artwork in Merry Little Batman is reminiscent of the classic 1960s 101 Dalmatians or the Academy Award-nominated French animated film The Triplets of Belleville. There’s something about this art style that fits seamlessly with the Christmas setting and that elevates the proceedings accordingly.
