Revisioned: Tomb Raider Animated Series (trademarked as Re\Visioned: Tomb Raider Animated Series) is a ten-part animated series based on the Tomb Raider series. It was distributed through the online video game service GameTap from July 10, 2007 to November 13, 2007. The series consists of various animation and comic book talent's renditions of Lara Croft, presented in the form of animated short films. The series was originally intended to conclude on August 23, 2007, but date for the final episode was changed to November 13, 2007.

Details

Even though the styles of the episodes vary, the voice actress for Lara Croft, Minnie Driver, remains constant throughout the series. The main criticisms that the series has received are that the varying animation styles are somewhat confusing and that the storylines of the episodes tend to be rather thin.

Revisioned: Tomb Raider Animated Series is the first season of the GameTap TV original animated series Revisioned, which explored and re-imagined well-known video game franchises.[1]
