TRANSFORMERS: THE MOVIE is Returning to Theaters For a One Night Event!
The 1986 animated film Transformers: The Movie is the best Transformers movie that has been made. Sure, it scarred us for life when all of our favorite characters were brutally killed off in the first 20 minutes of the film, but that's part of what made it so great and memorable. I actually got to attend the premiere of the screening when it was first released and I remember bawling when Optimus Prime died!
Now fans will get a chance to see it in theaters again or for the first time thanks to Fathom Events, Hasbro Studios and Shout! Factory. They've come together to bring the film back to theaters for one night only in September, and it has been remastered in high definition!
The AUTOBOTS, led by the heroic OPTIMUS PRIME, prepare to make a daring attempt to retake their planet from the evil forces of MEGATRON and the DECEPTICONS. Unknown to both sides, a menacing force is heading their way – UNICRON. The only hope of stopping UNICRON lies within the Matrix of Leadership and the AUTOBOT who can rise up and use its power to light their darkest hour. Will the AUTOBOTS be able to save their native planet from destruction or will the DECEPTICONS reign supreme?
Featuring memorable characters – the heroic AUTOBOTS, villainous DECEPTICONS and UNICRON, thrilling action and a heartfelt storyline, The TRANSFORMERS – THE MOVIE spans generations. Beloved by legions of fans, this full-length animated adventure boasts the voice talent of Orson Welles in his final voice acting role and an all-star voice cast that includes Peter Cullen, Eric Idle, Casey Kasem, Judd Nelson, Leonard Nimoy, Robert Stack and Frank Welker.
The movie will be screened in theaters across the country on Thursday, September 27 at 7:00 pm local time. The screening will also feature a sneak peek behind the making of the upcoming Transformers film Bumblebee, as well as “a brand-new interview with singer-songwriter Stan Bush including recent performances of the theme songs ‘The Touch’ and ‘Dare.'”
You can find a complete list of theater locations will be available at the Fathom Events website. Tickets for the screening go on sale Friday, August 3, 2018.
