* ExecutiveMeddling: The film's lengthy development cycle contributed to its never being released in the US. While started when Wildstorm was an Image imprint, by the time it was done, Wildstorm had been sold to DC -- who were in turn owned by TimeWarner. Disney had no interest in promoting a rival's francise, and Warner had no interest in seeing merchanising revenue go to Disney, thus the film was never offically released in the US.

''Gen¹³: The Movie'' is a 1999 direct-to-video animated film based upon the comic book ''ComicBook/{{Gen 13}}''.

In the film, teenage Caitlin Fairchild is offered a place in an institute for gifted children. She soon learns that the school isn't really a school, but rather a military project to turn children with a special genetic structure into super soldiers. After developing incredibly enhanced abilities, Caitlin rebels against the program that created her. But all is not what it appears; there are some in the military who want to help her, and a deadly enemy is actually a long lost sibling.

It should be noted that Creator/{{Disney}}, of all companies, released the film during its direct-to-video heydays. It is much DarkerAndEdgier than its other direct-to-video projects and borders between PG-13 and R with intense action violence, profanity, brief nudity, and blood and gore.
