In 2003 MTV aired a new animated series based on Marvel Comics’ “Spider-Man” with Neil Patrick Harris providing the voice of Peter Parker, Ian Ziering as Harry Oswald, and Lisa Loeb as the object of Parker’s silent affection, MJ. The series bought together talents from Marvel Comics as well as artists that helped make the CGI animated series “Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles” a hit on both the SCI FI Channel and DVD. Sony Pictures Home Entertainment is releasing the series to UMD for PSP in three volumes just as it had on DVD.

The first of these UMD volumes features Spider-Man encountering super villains like a scientist whose experiments with reptilian DNA turns him into a deadly man sized Lizard in the episode “Law Of The Jungle,” ex-KGB agents that take a group of people hostage, including Peter Parker in “Tight Squeeze,” and a dealy martial arts swordswoman bent on taking Spider-Man’s life in “Sword Of Shikata.” These three episodes are presented in a crisp letterboxed (1:78:1) aspect ratio with a well-rounded English Stereo Soundtrack as well as optional English Subtitles. Since the PSP screen is a (1.78:1) aspect ratio, the letterboxed image fits perfectly. Like the DVD counterpart, “Spider-Man: The New Animated Series: The Mutant Menace” has no extra value features related directly to the episodes included on the UMD. Previews for “Charlie’s Angels”, “Spider-Man 2”, and “You Got Served” are featured on the disc though. The interactive menus are well rendered and easy to navigate.

“Spider-Man: The New Animated Series: The Mutant Menace” is available on UMD-Video at retailers on and offline now courtesy of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.
