Fans of the original Transformers cartoon (affectionally called G1) living in Canada should mark their calendars. The animated film where [spoiler tape censored] will screen at select Cineplex cinemas beginning Sunday, September 30 at 3:45 p.m. (local time). In the States, it will begin on September 27th. For showtimes, please check local listings or online here. This beloved classic has been meticulously remastered, restored from the original film elements, and transferred in HD.
I will be present quite simply because I still remember Starscream giving the finger in an early cut when I first saw this film long ago. It has since burned into my memory, and whether a print still survives with these scenes put back in, my hope is that this screening shall offer it. Either way, I just need this affirmation that what I saw in my youth was not a figment of my imagination.
Fathom Events, Hasbro Studios and Shout! Factory banded together to bring this classic back to the big screen. In addition to this film, fans will also get an exclusive behind-the-scenes sneak peek at the making of this Bumblebee the Movie, coming to theatres in December, and a brand-new interview with singer-songwriter Stan Bush. He will be performing “The Touch” and “Dare” live!
