Review of The Transformers: The Movie (1986) by James C — 17 Dec 2008

Surely the greatest animated movie ever created. It dared to break the boundries other childrens films stayed away from and even though at the time it wasn't necessarily a great thing (a number of Japanese kids were put into therapy after a certain tragic scene). Its paying of all these years later as one of the most cult movies ever. Everything about this movie justs works. The story has emotion, the animation is lush even today and the soundtrack is widely recognized as being one of the most uplifting movie soundtracks ever.

Forget the live-action movie, this is far far better.
