Cartoons in HD always look good.

Many Cartoons don't need to be in 1080p HD, they end up as MPEG2 encodes at 18Mbps max.

The Simpson's movie comes to mind, the SD and HD versions look the same on an up-converting player, unless you are looking at it on a 60"+ screen.

HD Mastered CGI Cartoons are a completly different story, such as the Disney/PIXAR releases.

That is where HD begins to shine.

I just read recent news regarding the Blu-ray release and it convinces me even more not to go Blu... even with the so-called superior features and storage capabilities, one would expect this Blu-ray release to provide much more than the previous DVD release, such as an Anamorphic Widescreen transfer, multiple audio and subtitles in several languages (Spanish, French, Portuguese, etc.) even one English HD audio, yet episodes are still Fullscreen 4:3 1.33:1, English DD 5.1 and English subtitles only, which is a huge impediment for those, specially children, who's native language isn't English, as well the same extras (not in HD) included on the DVD released previously... way to go Warner, you're doing a fantastic job convincing people not to accept Blu-ray, even after you were responsable for HD-DVD's demise.

I watch & collect MANY ANIME series & movies... there is no justification for a hidef cartoon in 2d. Color separations are ABSOLUTE & distortion is none-existent in dvd format, watching it on a HDTV set.

ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE. Only difference it makes, as another poster has already said, becomes evident in CGI-mixed motion clips. Even that... shows minor improvements, as dvd upconverters shows these CGI flics VERY WELL, in HDTV screens.

I totally agree with videocipher and tylerdurden, animation DVDs look superb upscaled on LCD/Plasma screens, that it doesn't justify getting them on Blu-ray... if at least the Blu-ray release had much more than the previous DVDs, such as WS presentation with multiple audio languages (all of which is absent from the DVD release) then it might be worth considering, but if you're going to get on Blu-ray pretty much the same as on DVD, then it's not worth getting them.

Just to be fair, the first season of "Justice League" was originally produced in fullscreen though they were sometimes aired in widescreen. You are getting the correct aspect ratio. They didn't adopt the widescreen aspect ratio permanently until the second season.

To be fair other tv shows were broadcasted Fullscreen yet were released Widescreen Anamorphic on DVD, and if this were the case here, it might made us consider getting it... even if we agree that the original aspect ratio is respected, still this Blu-ray release doesn't differ much from the previous DVD release, which actually looks superb upscaled on LCD/Plasma screens... I agree with videocipher and tylerdurden on this.

And since this is a show meant for children mainly, and with the so-called Blu-ray's larger storage capabilities, not even an English HD audio is provided to justify the absense of multiple audio and subtitle languages, which it's unexcusable as it's necessary for children who don't understand English nor it's their native language... at least the previous DVD releases has multiple subtitle languages, one was expecting much more from this Blu-ray release.
