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 explores and re-imagines well-known video game franchises.[1]
