Voltron: The Third Dimension

I remember watching "Voltron: The Third Dimension" every Sunday morning at 8:00 on WB a few years ago. I don't remember much from the show but I do remember that the animation was really good, the characters were realistic and that the episode plots were very entertaining and interesting. I remember waiting for Sunday to come just to watch this show.

"Voltron: The Third Dimension" was a continuation of the show "Voltron: Defenders of the Universe" and featured the same characters.My favorite episode was "The Voltron Force Strikes Back".

I recently read that in May 2000 this show was canceled due to low ratings, causing the CGI animation studio Netter Digital to go bankrupt. This shocked since this was a very good show. I give "Voltron: The Third Dimension" 9/10 stars.

Voltron 3D is probably all right for the under ten set and the die-hard fans of the old 80s series, but it's really pretty mediocre. The storylines and dialogue are more reminiscent of Power Rangers, and none of the characters are particularly interesting.

Netter Digital is primarily a special effects house, and it shows. The character animation is awful, especially facial movement. There are some blatant mistakes in terms of design and imaging, that I thought people stopped making five years ago. The space battles and explosions, however, are top notch.

There are some great computer animated series out there. This is not one of them.

Even though it's on at 6:30 am here, I had to watch it! It is a continuation of the original from what I gather and it is some great computer animation. Their uniforms are really good especially the Princess. I'm highly impressed and not disappointed! A must see for everybody, not just the original viewers.

This series is pretty cool in that it brings Voltron into the '90s. However, it lacks something that I can't really explain. It's like the show just lost the feel that the original series has. Being originally anime, the classic series has some of the Japanese flavor still intact after WEP got it translated for the US. The new show simply doesn't have the same effect. Other than that, V3D is pretty good, but I have yet to see the second season.

I would much rather have the old character designs...they age 5 years and suddenly Kieth's eyes are blue? And I kinda wish they could work on different outfits. It would help a lot with the personalities if they could 'dress as they would'.
