Transformers - The Movie (Animated) (DVD)

...The basic premise of the Transformers was thus: they were robots which could transform into vehicles. Neat, huh? Well I think so. I used to love the Transformers show (though I remember it from re-runs), and my love for the show almost rivaled my love for that other legendary 80’s kids TV classic, ‘Thundercats’. Now there was a show. Anyway, the Transformers toys took off all over the world and became the No. 1 toy which children would scrawl in ...
...detail. The storyline of the Transformers TV series revolved around two separate kinds of robots living on the planet Cybertron – the heroic Autobots, led by the magnificent Optimus Prime (hero, icon, leader, cool dude) and the evil Decepticons, led by the maniacal Megatron (nasty, evil, bad, bad, bad man errrr robot, sorry). The Autobots and the Decepticons had been fighting for years for control over their home planet with little success. However, ...

Review of Transformers - The Movie (Animated) (DVD)

Transformers - The Movie, a film that I have been very emotionally attached to for the majority of my short, uneventfull and routine ridiculed life. Its concept is so simple, its characters so memorable. It is a film that depicites the classic struggle of good versus evil under a different light. It is almost surreal that it is in fact aimed at children (I was a child upon its release, so that makes it okay). The year is 2005 (yes, apparently there ...

The good side being the reliable, heroic Autobots, led by the inspiring, courageous Optimus Prime. The evil side, the sadistic, war mongering Decepticons led by the tough, maniacal Megatron. The film follows after the first couple of sereis of the phenominal television show coupled with its high sales in merchandise, it became a huge worldwide ...

Review of Transformers - The Movie (Animated) (DVD)

Transformers - The Movie is the first film my befuddled memory recalls seeing at the cinema. At the tender age of six I remember the excitement of its release. It was greeted with the same furore as Power Rangers was and is probably one of the first children's films and animated series that was devised with marketing in mind. Over the years the franchise transformed itself in several guises and has recently made a comeback. However, my rose tinted ...
...found here. Transformers is an undoubtedly violent film, (hence its PG rating) vividly so at times yet I remember as a child being strongly influenced by the morals held within. This is perhaps due to some superb voice acting. Peter Cullen is great as the voice of Optimus Prime leader of the Autobots and adds a gravitas and commanding tone to the role that has become infamous to all 80's children whereas Frank Welker is suitably devious as the Decepticon ...

...that little bit further. Fan-Favourite Transformers characters are killed with abandon throughout the first half hour of the film, giving the proceedings a cynical, hardened edge that most kids animation to that point had generally lacked. There are holes here, continuity seems to be something the animators had only recently heard about and were having difficulty getting to grips with, and some of the dialogue can be a bit corny, but the fact that ...
...something to admire. It's good fare for the kids, and there's enough there to keep the grown ups satisfied as well. And if you were a kid in the eighties, it may bring back fonder memories than any pictures of you in the clothes you were wearing then. A fair script, solid voice performances, a rocking soundtrack and superior animation make this an enjoyable piece of work. ...

...rare opportunity to see a Transformers episode that never aired outside of Japan. There are not a lot of special features and the menu is a bit long winded but on the whole it's not that bad. The extra episode is probably the best feature on the disk because a trailer is just a trailer and the musical gallery can get a bit annoying after a while. Still the whole point of owning this DVD is for the Movie itself and that makes up for everything. Now ...
...the peak of their popularity. Transformers The Movie took these childhood heroes and transformed them into film stars. The animation is nothing like the animated films of today but it stands out there as one of the all time classic children's movies. The plot is little more than an advert for the new toys of the time, many of which show up as main characters in the film (Hot Rod, Kup, Ultra Magnus, Galvatron, etc). However none of this matters, the ...

The film culminates in the predictable but eagerly anticipated showdown at the end, a fight involving Autobots, Decepticons and Unicron. Naturally, there are a few feel-good moments accompanied by some heavy electric guitar riffs, and the Matrix of Autobot leadership comes into play to'light our darkest ...

An awesome film. I loved ...
