Facet 28- Voltron




I loved this cartoon when I was a kid. I was flipping through the channels the other day and discovered it was on Cartoon Network. I decided to watch it just for the sake of nostalgia. Watching it brought back a flood of memories and emotions. I remember playing with the toys, watching the show in the afternoon. Needless to say, I now record it every time it's on.

What's interesting to me is that when I started watching it again, I felt the same thrill when the lions combine to form Voltron that I did when I was a kid. Sure the animation is kinda cheesy. And sure, every episode is pretty much the same. But when the lions fly up into space and form into Voltron, how can that not send even a tiny shiver up your spine? You know the universe is about to saved once again!

What a joy! It just goes to show that in some cases, it's OK not to grow up.
