Say what yo uwant about this show, but this was my first exposure to voltron when I was eight years old . . . . .and I think I watched the original when I was ten . . . . certainly I liked the original better
i was too young for the orrigional, but lately i had been thinking abiut this, but i had no idea what it was called, i just had a toy and a video, but now i know it was this! thanks
The voice acting is still pretty good. That's Kevin Michael Richardson doing the narration (he's also Hunk in the show), and Tim Curry was (as always) wonderfully hammy as Lothor. Otherwise, yeah, this isn't very good.
LOL they used to aired this in singapore but since i did'nt knew anything about voltron back then i thought it was a 3d cartoon version of power rangers
I love Voltron the classic version this Voltron Third Diminsion put a whole in my heart but the newest Voltron series "Voltron Force fills that back up.
i was around for the 1st voltron and for this one as well i like both and the new one that nick is doing isnt that bad plus its just getting started let the story line grow a lil before saying it sucks
looks like epic fail!!!! ....if your going to do voltron you just really try to update him big time....if you stick with too many parts from the original people are going to hate it.......some people will hate it either way
Well, just because you can do something in CGI doesn't mean you SHOULD do something in CGI! Obviously this was aimed at the wee ones back then who had no idea who or what Voltron is. I'm still looking for the GO Lion DVD myself!
If you want the best, stick with the original Japanese stuff!
i remeber watching this on teletoon all the time, then later on in my life i watched the original then after watched this again and it just didn't feel the same after watching the 80s
I was a die hard Voltron fan. After seeing Transformers getting a super high-budget hollywood rebirth i was hoping Voltron would be soon to follow. But THIS crap is probably whats gonna keep that from happening. It sucks terribly :(
lol i laugh everytime you see the kids in their helmets, they look like they should be standing outside a theme park handing out flyers or having their pictures taken with children.
I can't really hate this version because I never knew of voltron until stumbling upon this on Teletoon. I was born in 92, bite me (then again I was well aware of transformers and GI Joe)
OMG, Voltron was my favorite 80's cartoon but this CGI version really sucks! The narration didn't make any sense and he sounded bored. Definitely an amateur voice over.
This wasn't cool at all I was psyched when it came but then I saw it. It was lame, repetive and rather dumb in more ways then one I eventually gave up watching due to its lame acting and repeated scenes and unnecessary scenes. On a whole I would say CG killed voltorn period. The 80' was better but this could of been even better.
@trek9090 what do you think of the new Voltron on Nicktoons? I like that one best because of the 5 different transformations. The new cadets are cool too. I never understood why Lotor looks the same as he does in the 80s and does not transfer from the 90s. He was a cyborg in the 90s. How is the change explained? Too bad Zarkon and Hagar are dead in the Nicktoons one. But I think I like not having Zarkon in it because Lotor seems more evil woithout his father. Miss Hagar though.
@trek9090 One question I have about the 80s version is why did Kieth, Lance and Sven not wear corspronding color uniforms with their lions. Kieth wore red in the 80s but iloted black. Sven wore black and piloted blue. Lance wore blue but piloted red. What was up with that? At least they wear corsponding colors now. Also Sven shows up in one episode.
WHAT!!!!!! I NEVER KNEW THERE WAS A VOLTRON 3D!!!!!!!!!!!!! what the.....SOMEBODY TELL ME WHERE I CAN DOWNLOAD THE SEASON,EPISODES or SOMETHING!!!!!!!
hmmmm. I'm not even through the entro yet and so far my only complaint is why in the hell did they replace Peter cullen's awsome voice in the intro with this other person? other than that I have no real complaints...
The OG version, not the cars, but the one with the lions, is better. Hope the movie doesn't shit all over the memory of the original like this shit.
Yeah sorry, but to the few who defend this version, it doesn't keep the spirit of the original. Could have made it work with computer graphics, but that wasn't the case.
I don't know why people are talkin bad about this version. When I was younger I loved this and the older version. Of course you're gonna say it sucks now because there's all this new technology and shit to make waaay better 3d productions. So don't rag on the oldies cause you weren't complaining when you were growing up watching it.
i agree with zelda. The Dreamworks stuff would have been really good. Of they could have did a way better CGI. But to, it's probably a very small company and just can't afford it yet. Once they can it will catch up. Didn't video games go through that?
you all do relize that teh voice of the announcer in this opening does zarkon on this version sheesh being preached about how good voltron is by zarkon... even if he 'says' he is on the good side. sweet jesus what is wrong with america. the best season was the first original season. not v3d or the american second season god damnit wish they didnt edit voltron. i want to see lotor wale on hagar. atleast that is on youtube. LET US UNITE AGAINST ANIME EDITING!!!
Meh. This show was ok, but so much of it sucked. The CGI was poorly done. Voltron looked all bloated and not really like a robot at all. Some of the original voice actors came back (Michael Bell, B.J. Ward, and Neil Ross), which was good, but the entire plot/storyline was just weak. It didn't really fit into any part of the Voltron Universe.
This waorks and it dosen't. I mean they had the great idea of the 3D animation which I like very much, but whoever did the 3D stuff did a really crappy job of it. Voltron wobbles too much she looks like she's made of jelly instead of meatle. I mean why couldn't they get someone like dreamworks do the 3D animation. And I just heard there's going tobe amovie out soon God for bit if it's anything liek this they waisted their money.
American adaptations of anime suck ass! The first bad one was The New Adventures of Speed Racer, and the second one was this. Now the Gatchaman 2008 CGI movie by Imagi seems promising, but if they fuck it up, that's strike 3 and that's it. No more American adaptations of anime because nobody can get em right.
I bet the guys who did TMNT 2007, and plan to make a CGI Gatchaman[they killed a family film], might do a better job on Voltron[with music by Pharrell of N.E.R.D.].
even as a kid I noticed the bad animation. same with Johnny Quest's new 3D sequences. the characters looked like they were on the verge of having a stroke with their backs bent far back and moving their torso's slowly left and right lol
Well I would've kept it more liek the original. Everytime they try to do something completely different. They should do a new updated 2D animated version....
I thought this show was very well done. Did anyone see the episode where voltron fought voltron is this series? The evil voltron had a go-Tee!! Good times, this was a fun show, too bad it was canceled.
