Eric Idle and Wheelie loving suck. The rest is kind-of fun in a "PG Heavy Metal" way. The voice cast is ridiculously overqualified for its script. The animation is actually pretty good considering how garbage the show's animation was. Even if it was motivated entirely by selling toys it was also pretty ballsy to show all the old characters get brutally slaughtered in an ambush instead of having them die off-screen or something.

It would have been way cheaper to have all the cannon fodder on some planet Orson Welles eats or lost in an explosion. They didn't have to animate their detailed deaths. That was a deliberate choice.

I have to make a correction from my post on the last page. I always thought Dare to be stupid was by Devo. Clearly it was Weird Al. I watched this movie in the theater at the age of 5 or 6, and the death where he turns grey kinda hosed me up for a few days. I had to ask my dad why he turned grey. LoL and I remember asking if I would turn grey when I die. My father stopped working on his Harley, turned to me and said "yeah but it will take a bit longer"

Devo once joked that they hated weird al because he nailed the Devo sound in one song, when they'd put out like 3 records and still never really got it right.

This movie killed Orson Welles and I like to imagine he turned grey when he died

I was bummed out about Ironhide, Prowl and Optimus Prime of course. They did spare Jazz, which doesn't make sense in retrospect as his voice actor died not long after. The TV show is really lovely, even irrational nostalgia doesn't dupe me into thinking it was good, for some reason I think the movie holds up fairly well; good soundtrack, decent animation, particularly for the 80s.

Two of my friends were animators for the beast wars show. Mainframe studio which also did Reboot. They got ripped off hard. It was essentially minimum wage and you were paid based on frames rendered.

reallivedinosaur posted:no its actually still a baby cartoon for babies Is there even another cartoon ever where characters die? Something that was aimed at kids and released in theaters? They didn't even off that many gen 1 dudes, and hardly introduced any of the eventual next gen. I feel like your criticism of this toy cartoon is unfair.

They were going to kill off one of the main characters in the GI joe movie but they retconned it because of the backlash from Optimus prime dying

heres my fav beast wars ep from when i was a teen. its the one where dinobot saves the future of humanity by using the last of his power (like battery for hibernate on computerts..) to eye-laser destroy the Golden Disc against an impossibly stronger foe, the max lvl megatron. wonder why dinobot never got any new toys. guess kids didnt like him, but its pretty obvious trhe writers did. pretty cool sendoff for a kids show. pretty standout episode too. hackneyed sure, but whatever. episode opens with a seppuku suicide attempt from dinobot. wtf? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTidX136XNY

Beast Wars was the time Megatron won by erasing the 80's and pointing directly at the audience and telling them that they no longer existed Beast Wars were the best wars e: Dinobot kicked rear end and he did get a Transmetal 2 version later on in the show but it was an evil clone or something, I forget the specifics.

I actually found an article about this, and the answer is yes kids movies kill the gently caress out of their characters. http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2014/12/why-kids-movies-are-full-of-death/383819/ And nthing the Beast Wars praise, it's well worth watching if you can get past the early CGI quality and the somewhat slow start of S1.
