Rating: 5.0
For Those Who Want To Remember.....
Those who want to know what this DVD is all about should first consider what it is not:Transformers The Movie is not a critically acclaimed hit and those who don't have childhood memories of the Transformers Saga would probably not rank this as one of their top animated films.Most people who purchase this DVD know exactly what they're getting: A melodramatic animated rock and roll space opera for kids in the 80's that was designed to be a marketing campaign for the next line of Transformers toys. Sounds inferior doesn't it? Well, it's not.Kids in the 80's who went to theaters to see this movie knew that they were part of a pivotal point in Transformers history. And the Transformers race would never be the same.I have no regrets over falling headfirst into all of the Transformers marketing hype. When a line of toys, a cartoon series, and a movie gave as much joy to kids in the 80's (and I was one of them) as these did, I will gladly buy the DVD twenty years later just to re-live those childhood moments!
