“More Than Meets the Eye!”

Some movies become part of our childhood memories that we carry with us well into adulthood. For a generation of Transformers fans, The Transformers: The Movie was one of those films. Now, 40 years after it first arrived in theaters, this animated classic is returning to the big screen beginning September 17, giving fans another chance to experience the epic battle between Autobots and Decepticons the way it was meant to be seen, on the big screen!

This release will take on a different kind of emotional meaning with the recent passing of legendary voice actor Peter Cullen, the voice of Optimus Prime. Cullen wasn’t just the voice behind the character but to fans, he was Optimus Prime. His powerful performance brought to life one of the most beloved heroes in pop culture. As fans return to theaters to celebrate The Transformers: The Movie four decades later, the experience will undoubtedly become a chance to remember Cullen, his incredible career, and the voice that helped make Optimus Prime a legend.
