THE TRANSFORMERS CLASSIC ANIMATED THEATERS COMING TO THEATERS IN CELEBRATION OF THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY
The special cinematic event will take fans back to the beginning of the original animated series, with appearances by the original voice actors, including Peter Cullen (the original voice of Optimus Prime) and Frank Welker (the original voice of Megatron). The actors will revisit their characters and recreate the enduring magic of the classic 1984 animated series. Hasbro also released the following key art for the special event:
There will also be an exclusive behind-the-scenes table read on a split screen for the pilot episode, “More Than Meets the Eye, Part 1,” followed by a traditional screening of the next three episodes of the series. After experiencing the original Saturday morning cartoon on the big screen, they will get a glimpse of its evolution with a sneak preview of the new season of the original animated kids series, Transformers: Earthspark.
Speaking on the announcement, Hasbro Vice President of Global Franchise Strategy & Management of Action Brands Alyse D’Antuono stated, “For decades, the battle between the Autobots and Decepticons has come to life in movies, comic books, innovative toys, live experiences, and digital media, elevating the TRANSFORMERS brand to a global powerhouse franchise with millions of fans around the world. To celebrate 40 years, we’re bringing fans back to where it all started.”
D’Antuono continued, “The Transformers animated series captured the imagination of fans of all ages when it premiered in 1984, introducing a timeless battle between good and evil fueled by action and adventure. Ask any longtime fan, and they can probably tell you where they were when they first heard Optimus Prime’s iconic phrase ‘Autobots, roll out’ or what it felt like when they first converted a bot character into its alt mode. With exclusive content featuring the series’ original voice actors, this theatrical event is truly for our fans and invites audiences to experience the fun that started it all.”
Event Cinema distributor Trafalgar Releasing is handling the distribution for the upcoming event. This is the second time Hasbro has partnered with Trafalgar. They previously partnered for Peppa’s Cinema Party which screened in Cinemas worldwide in February 2024.
