Product: The Transformers - The Movie (1986)
Rating: 5.0
I'm so glad it's come back out
I grew up on Trans Formers and have many fond childhood memories watching this, so take it for granted that this review may be biased. I personally can't get enough of this movie. The animation is great, the best in the series. I dare to say the animation gives Titan A.E. a run for it's money (but maybe I'm pushing it). In any case, it's certainly some of the best animation to come out of the 80's I believe. The music soundtrack is equally cool. I can't tell how many times I've listened to it going to work, going to college and back home. It's also one of the few American made cartoons that isn't some kiddie G rated Disney junk. It's something kids can see with little to no problem for parents, but it's also something an adult can see without that too familiar feeling of "I'm watching a cartoon." The only gripe I have with it is that I wish the re-release would not have added those dub overs during the beginning and ending credits, especially the one telling the audience Prime would return. But it was such a small thing, I'm sure not going to let it get in the way of a 5 star rating. I can't express enough to Rhino how grateful I am that they're bringing the Trans Formers back.
