I don't think the other reviews of this product are very fair.

The picture and sound quality on this release is definetly superior to the previous release which was by the way was just a limited edition that WEP released themselves.

Media Blasters gave this feature the same respect they gave the rest of the Voltron series from Lion force to Vehicle force.

Before you go unfairly bashing this product, remember how crappy the first DVD release was. (The sound was the main issue)

If you as a collector or a casual fan want a really great copy of this special on DVD, this version is the one to get.

Stay away from the previous release at all costs.

The year was 1986 Reagan was in office the Mets were dominating baseball and I with the help of my Mom got to play hooky from school to watch this Voltron team-up movie if I had known 25 years ago that I would find it on DVD I would have done things different but oh well anyways this movie is a fanboys dream both Voltrons fighting the combined forces of Viceroy Throkk and King Zarkon who also in the tradition of villan team-ups secretly plot treachery against each other this flim is both action packed,poignant (The Keith/Allura scenes) and funny I highly recommend adding it to your DVD collection Voltron fans

I can not believe the things i hear about this movie. people be thankful that their is a voltron movie at all. the story is nothing new but it works for what they did with this movie. It would be nice if they did another animated feature film of voltron but only time will tell i guess. check this film out it is not to be missed.

I love Voltron, even if its not the Dairugger or GoLion series that all the Anime snobs consider better, its awesome. I didn't grow up in Japan so I did not watch the original, but these Voltrons are what I was raised on and they rocked. I watched this feature when it came out only once but it stuck w/ me forever and now I can watch it whenever I want. I enjoyed it immensely!!!

I love Voltron. I watched it everyday in the 80's and when it came out on dvd I even took the discs with me to Iraq for 14 months. I knew the 2 Voltrons met at some point and when this dvd was released I acted like a maniac waiting for it to come in the mail. I am so disappointed. The animation work is lacking in many scenes and the plot is open ended and mild. The robeasts in this episode are some of the lousiest ever: a rhinobeast, a flimsy scorpionbeast, an armadillobeast!? and a beetle? You can't be serious. Did Lotor visit his first zoo enroute? The vehicle voltron series had some pretty wicked and impressive robeasts. Surely they werent all destroyed. Even Hagars creations were finer stock than a freakin armadillo beast. In the end Zarkon and the Drules are still around. Lotor combines his roadkill/safari beasts to form a giant "zoobeast" which he controls from within the head. Of course he escapes just as the 2 voltrons cut through it. Overall I felt that it was happy hour somewhere and the creators just through some stuff together and called it quits. It gets 1 star because its Voltron and another star because you are required to have this in your Voltron collection.

Shame on Media Blasters! You would think after months & months of repeated delays with the Voltron Box sets, the very least they could do to compensate fans is to add this as a Bonus to the 8th & final Voltron box set...but No... they want to gauge fans for all they can. I'll stick with my old VHS copy, thank you very much. But if you didn't get it on VHS, ot the "exclusive DVD" from teh WEP site previously, and cant live without it, I guess you have no choice.
