Tomb Raider: Re\visioned is a ten part animated series based on the universe created in the Tomb Raider Games.

It began airing on the online video game service GameTap on July 10, 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 final episode aired on November 13, 2007.[1]

The animation style of the episodes vary from one episode to another, but the voice actress for Lara Croft, Minnie Driver, is the same in every episode. The series has received criticism concerning the varying animation styles that are seen as somewhat confusing. Also the storylines of the episodes have been considered being rather thin.[2]

Tomb Raider: Re\visioned is the first season of the GameTap TV's original animated series, Re\Visioned, which explores and re-imagines well known video game franchises. [3][4]
