Animated Movies
Doctor Strange (2007) - This was the only Dr. Strange animated feature movie from Marvel Animated Features. It was directed by Patrick Archibald and Jay Oliva and voiced by Bryce Johnson (Doctor Strange), Paul Nakauchi (Wong), Kevin Richardson (Mordo), Michael Yama (Ancient One) and Jonathan Adams (Dormammu). This movie deviates from the comics in a few places to include Wong being a strong sorcerer before Dr. Strange travels to meet the Ancient One. Overall, it was well done and gave us a Dr. Strange movie in the early 2000s. Link to IMDB
TV Appearances
Dr. Strange (1978 Univseral Television) - Run Time: 93 min, Rated: TV-PG
This was the first live action Dr. Strange movie made for TV directed by Philip DeGuere and
starring: Peter Hooten (Dr. Strange), Clyde Kusatsu (Wong), Jessica Walter (Morgan LeFay)
and Anne-Marie Martin (Clea). The story centers around a sorcerer who passes the "Guardianship
of the Light" to Dr. Strange to battle Morgan LeFey. The movie was meant to be a pilot for
possible pickup by the TV station as a series. It was never picked up. Over the years, this
movie has been ridiculed and shunned. I personally didn't mind it. It deviates from the comic,
but that happens in most written to film productions. You have to remember there wasn't what we
consider CG effects back then. It was mostly cheesy practical effects or slight of camera/film
that achieved effects like spells. I would recommend any true Dr. Strange fan to watch it and
draw their own conclusions.
