Henchmen (out Dec 9) is a low-budget animated feature that explores a fun superhero concept. Rather than focus on villains, it is centred on the henchmen who do all the grunt work behind the scenes and dream of promotion to the big time. It doesn't make enough of the premise (particularly with the finale) but there's sufficient humour to warrant a look. Grade: B.
