A 1986 computer-animated feature based on a popular TV cartoon show, further inspired, no doubt, by the philanthropic desire of Japanese and American toy manufacturers to keep their kiddie customers rolling in robots.
Top CriticThe anime-inflected look is generally impressive too, although the power-rock soundtrack is unsalvageable.
While all this action may captivate young children, the animation is not spectacular enough to dazzle adults.
An awful toy commercial in disguise.
Far from a cheap spin-off, The Transformers: The Movie is an entertaining feature-length animation that's both handsome and well realised.
it will dare you to be stupid
Charming, useless fun.
It's good mindless fun, and a flick that no doubt holds a lot of Nostalgia Value for several members of my generation's sci-fi geeks.
Did Transformers actually launch the celebrity-voiced animation craze 20 years ago? That may be the film's biggest legacy.
Basically, The Transformers: The Movie features rancid animation techniques, a story that will bore anyone over age 10, and a few overpaid celebrities essaying the lead voices.
American Anime before Anime was cool.
This animated number may require a certain nostalgia factor for successful viewing.
