| Hellboy Animated | comment |
An animated adaptation of the Hellboy comic book series. They're a distinct continuity, closer in spirit to the comics, but they feature actors (Ron Perlman, Selma Blair, Doug Jones, and John Hurt) reprising their roles from the live-action film series, along with the addition of Peri Gilpin as Kate Corrigan.Sword of StormsJapanese folklorist Professor Sakai opens a forbidden scroll and becomes possessed by demons. While investigating Sakai's disappearance with a BPRD team (including folklorist Kate Corrigan), Hellboy touches a samurai sword left behind at the crime scene, and is suddenly transported into a Magical Land based on Japanese Mythology. There, Hellboy learns that the storm demons Thunder and Lightning are sealed within the sword. If freed, Thunder and Lightning will unleash a storm capable of loosing the dragon Ogdru Jahad and all its offspring, bringing about the end of the world. Hellboy also confronts a series of youkai (directed by the demon-possessed Sakai), nearly all of them intent on breaking the sword and freeing the storm demons.Meanwhile, Kate Corrigan attempts to solve the mystery of Hellboy's disappearance, as massive storms begin forming (due to the weakening of Thunder and Lightning's prison) and the first wave of "dragons" are freed. Liz Sherman and Abe Sapien become trapped on a deserted ocean island, and must fight one of these dragons.It's worth noting that the scene where Hellboy meets a group of nukekubi is adapted almost verbatim from the one-shot comic "Heads", which Mike Mignola cited as one of his favorite Hellboy stories.Blood and IronHotel mogul Oliver Trombolt requests that the BPRD investigate the supposed haunting of a house he's renovating into a resort. In spite of the fact that Trombolt is clearly doing this as a publicity stunt, Professor Bruttenholm takes an interest in the case and suspects that something genuinely supernatural is occurring. Bruttenholm leads a field team, including Hellboy, Liz Sherman, and Abe Sapien, to investigate.It soon becomes clear that the hotel truly is haunted... by the victims of Erzsebet Ondrushko, a countess who, decades ago, sold her soul to the witch-goddess Hecate, bathed in the blood of innocents, and was eventually killed by Bruttenholm himself. The BPRD team is assaulted by harpies, hell-hounds, and a werewolf, all servants of Ondrushko intent on raising their vampire mistress from the dead. Hecate herself takes an interest in the proceedings, using them as an opportunity to tempt Hellboy to join team evil.The Blood And Iron DVD also includes an Animated Adaptation of the comics' "The Iron Shoes" story. In addition to the two films, several mini-comics were set in the Animated continuity. A third film (''The Phantom Claw'', the debut of Lobster Johnson) was planned but never came to fruition. | |

The Stinger: At the end of Blood and Iron, there was a voiceover of Manning disclaiming the existence of “The Lobster�, all while showing a silhouette of Lobster Johnson, his goggles and logo being the only thing visible, until we see a brief glimpse of him when he fires his guns. This was meant to be a Sequel Hook for a third film titled The Phantom Claw, but sadly, that film was cancelled. | |

Spared by the Adaptation: Even compared to his counterpart in the live-action movies, Professor Bruttenholm. He survives the events of Blood and Iron. Also apparently Scott Clark, the Nick-Fury-looking BPRD agent from the beginning of Blood and Iron, who dies in his first appearance in the comics (though it's still possible he died while off on his B-mission this time around). | |

Oblivious Guilt Slinging: During the hunt for Erzebet, the hunters mention how Father Lupesca's cross would protect them. However, Bruttenholm points out that's not entirely so. Rather, it's the faith behind the cross that gives it power. This makes Father Lupesca frightened and unnerved, considering he secretly lost his faith after his previous encounter with Erzebet. | |

Dramatic Irony | |
| Hellboy Animated / int_ab5eea65 | comment |
Dramatic Irony: One flashback shows Father Lupesca express apparent faith in the church, and assuring Anna she'll be safe as long as his church wards off vampires. However, this is after the audience has seen previous flashbacks showing otherwise: Erszebet enters his church, Anna dies by her hands, all because the good priest's faith failed him. What's more, Professor Broom tries to convince Father Lupesca to keep an open mind concerning the occult while the latter believes such an approach would lead to corruption. Ironically enough, as the audience witnessed in previous flashbacks, Professor Broom's brand of faith kept him strong throughout the experience, while Father Lupesca ends up becoming Erszebet's unwilling servant. | |

Truer to the Text: The animated films draw closer to the comics than the live-action films in two aspects. Hellboy and Liz are just friends, rather than lovers. Though they have a father and son like relationship, Hellboy never refers to Professor Bruttenholm as "father". | |

Irony: In Blood and Iron, everyone (especially Hellboy) was worried about Professor Bruttenholm coming along for the mission, afraid that a frail old man like him would get seriously hurt. The last scene of the movie shows Bruttenholm in one piece while Hellboy is in bed from all the injuries he sustained. | |

Informed Attribute: The Transylvanian Constabulary in Blood and Iron are very experienced when it comes to vampires, according to Bruttenholm. However,the representatives we see in action are easily dispatched in rather gruesome ways by Erszebet. This may be justified, though, given that she knew fully well they were coming and was prepared accordingly. | |

Hope Spot | |
| Hellboy Animated / int_c3c18143 | comment |
Hope Spot: In Blood and Iron, the newly revived Erzsebet closes in on Bruttenholm. Hellboy appears for what looks like a Big Damn Heroes moment, only to get pulled underground by Hecate. | |

Our Dragons Are Different | |
| Hellboy Animated / int_d88e125e | comment |
Our Dragons Are Different: In Sword of Storms, "dragon" is apparently a title rather than a species. The Ogdru Jahad are referred to as "the dragon" (and the viewer never sees what they look likenote in the original comics, the Ogdru Jahad actually do appear reptilian, while in the live-action films they're depicted as a mix of crustacean and cephalopod features), and their offspring range from humanoid ogres with thunder powers to squishy, underwater tentacle monsters. | |

Failed Attempt at Drama | |
| Hellboy Animated / int_d9563969 | comment |
Failed Attempt at Drama: Downplayed. When Hellboy tries to expose Hecate to sunlight by pulling aside a curtain (complete with Bond One-Liner) only to find it's a tapestry with a blank wall behind it, he doesn't linger on his disappointment any longer than a simple "Crap!" | |
