 The Comic Book Guy.com: "Batman: Mask of The Phantasm" Review
Yes, folks, as sad as it is, “Batman: Mask of The Phantasm” failed pretty miserably at the box office, and the movie's failure is why all future animated "Batman" movies went directly to video.

Focusing less on the budget and more on the heart of the story, "Phantasm" proves to be a very deep and emotional movie that also has the right amount of humor and action for good measure.
