Radical Arcade-Style Animated Tribute to 1980s Sci-Fi Movies

View fullsize

We've got a delightful short animated trailer for you to check out today that was made to promote some of our favorite classic 1980s sci-fi films. It was created by Francesco Baiocchi for the European sci-fi cable channel AXN. It was done in the style of a '80s side-scrolling video game, and some of the films that are featured in the promo include Ghostbusters II, The NeverEnding Story, Short Circuit, and even My Stepmother Is an Alien. The result is pretty radical. 

Remember the '80s? Remember those amazing Arcade video games? As we had to create a weekly stunt to promote different movies from the 80s' we decided to celebrate that fabulous decade using one of its most recognizable look and design.
