For a stupid limited showing. I hate limited showings. Plus I can watch it whenever I want at home.

However, if anyone goes to see it, I hope you guys have a good time.

Hmm. I wonder if this means they'll reshow the original My Little Pony and GI Joe movies? I haven't seen the 80s Joe movie.

*sigh*  It irritates me beyond belief that Transformers fans get the majority of the attention from Hasbroken...

I'm a TF fan, but sometimes it irritates me a little.  TF and MLP fans both have it better then the Jem and Joe fans do anyways.

Limited showing. :rolls eyes:
I get that sometimes it's a very niche re-release, but at least do a few more theatres to reach out to fans in other areas.
Seeing the original MLP movie in theatres would be, uh, interesting.  I'd prefer to see the 2017 film re-released if I'm completely honest. Seeing that in the theatre was amazing.

That is true, I wish they'd reboot Jem's dolls or even the cartoon.

Poor G.I. Joe movie.  The only one of the three that was never in theaters to being with, thanks to the TF movie and MLP movie tanking.

That said it was not a very good movie, lol.  Cobra-la-la-la-la-la!

Why rerelease a not quite year old movie?

They DID reboot Jem a few years ago.  There was a TERRIBLE abomination of a live action movie, and also there were collector's quality dolls.

That sucker sunk so fast. Lasted 2 weeks in theaters. The dolls were a big hit though.

I found the movie in the Walmart $5 bin (it was $7.50 but whatever) marked down from $11.99... And it was the 30th anniversary edition. That was last December.

At least we know that nothing is sacred and Disney is not the only company that will milk the classics.

Oh, it wasn't?

It went straight to VHS.  (Almost typed DVD there, ha ha.)  And originally Duke was slated to die, but after all the children crying over the death of Optimus Prime, they hastily edited the sound so that he wasn't dead, he was "in a coma!"  And they had someone off to the side shout "Great news! Duke's okay!" at the very end, lol.

But if you look at the visuals and the reactions from his friends, yeah, he was totally dead.

Personally I think Duke dying would have phased kids less than Optimus Prime, but in any case thanks to Optimus' sacrifice he survived.

Yeah I catch myself saying dvd or video too sometimes.

They are just riding the nostalgia wave in preparation for the BB movie. I'd never pay for the first time Hasbro made a bad TF decision.

The 80s movie gets hyped by fans now but it loved killing beloved characters just like the Bay versions and it didn't give a crap about anyone but Optimus' death. Also like the Bay versions. But I'm happy for the Rodimus Prime, Daniel and Wheelie fans

Yeah because you are a Gewunner, admit it and that's why they are re-releasing it. To get Gewunners in the mood for the Bumblebee movie. Not because they want to please TF fans like suggested above.
