DVD Review: Ben 10 (Villain Time, Season 1: Volume 1)

DVD Reviews, Reviews, Top Story

Tara Strong is one of today’s superstars of voice acting. She’s what you’re listening to when Bubbles talks on Powerpuff Girls, Timmy Turner wishes on The Fairly OddParents, Raven spells on Teen Titans Go! and Twilight Sparkle glows on My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. She might be any cartoon character on your TV. This talent comes in handy when she’s Ben Tennyson, a boy with the Omnitrix. This wristwatch device allows him to turn into 10 different alien creatures to be a superhero. Ben 10: Villain Time, Season 1: Volume 1 contains the first 20 episodes of the reboot series that aired on Cartoon Network last spring. The new season begins this month on the channel. Check your local listings for times.

Here’s Josie’s review of the DVD set:

The video is 1.78:1 anamorphic. The transfer brings out the detail in Ben’s 10 identities. The audio is Dolby Digital 2.0. You’ll get to hear Tara Strong’s amazing voice work. The episodes are subtitled.
