In case you'd forgotten, GZA be the head.
Timed in conjunction with the 25th anniversary of the original show and toy line, Voltron Force will premiere on Nicktoons next year with a run of 26 half-hour episodes. A new Mattel toy line will be released for the anniversary as well.
Considering the original series was produced by Mattel with the express purpose of selling its toys, it sounds like they're testing that tried and true 80's formula in the, shit what is this, the teens? The 2010's? It will be interesting to see how it pans out. There are so many more programming options for kids these days than there were in the 80s, it could get left in the dust.
The article mentions the Power Rangers will be getting a reboot on Nickelodeon as well, and last week Rorie reported that Thundercats will be coming to Cartoon Network. Nostalgia overload!
What say you? Do you think a film release would have been better?
But man, I could not care any less for Voltron.
I remember watching Voltron, and I had the toys, The dicast ones, and all the plastic ones too, but the cartoon I remember sucking. Just to weird for a 5 year old. I do remember the guy in then blue lion dying tho, and the princess taking over. A think a movie could be done well, and make a ton of dough.
Hell yes
Good catch, Duke, thanks for the heads up! I suppose I misread this bit in my early morning news-ing:
Oh man, if they made a reboot of the ORIGINAL Mighty Morphin Power Rangers I think I'd watch that. :/
