Who is transformer parents

Skip to Content. Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis.

You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update. Simplistic ideas of good and evil, and promotes that fighting and warring are the inevitable route to peace.

Though they all look alike physically, the Tranformers have different ethnicities via voiceover actors of different races and cultures. Only one female robot. Much sci-fi mass destruction of machine and machine-life forms. Even sympathetic and heroic characters die. Parents need to know that Transformers: The Movie is a commercial tie-in with a line of Hasbro action-figure toys.

While this movie has a certain cult following what bad movie doesn't? It also forms more or less the last episode of the original Transformers TV series, so if you feel like you've walked in late and missed something, that's why. One use of "s--t.

When their planet fell to the Decepticons, the Autobots befriended humans and set up a base on Earth. Here the Decepticon warlord Megatron launches a sneak attack on Earth's Autobot city and longstanding Autobot hero Optimus Prime is killed.

Before dying, he passes on to his successor a glittery doo-dad called the Matrix that's supposed to be really important. Meanwhile, a new menace comes along, a robot called Unicron, a planet-sized machine that destroys and eats other planets. The only thing posing a threat to Unicron is the Matrix, so the monstrous robot gives the damaged Megatron an upgrade to capture it. Even fans of the toys will be disappointed by this mess of a movie. If Transformers: The Movie teaches us anything, it's that in all the cleverly-conceived, gimmicky, buy-them-all robots Hasbro foisted on toy shelves, one was sorely forgotten: Script-itron.

A confusing, jumbled, and chaotic narrative moves through chases and fights with barely any breathing space and introduces so many weird characters and things that only a kid who owns all the toy tie-ins could tell them apart.

The soundtrack is obnoxious, nonstop '80s rock music and the animation is TV-grade. Except for the Dinobots, it's pretty difficult to tell one unfolded Transformer from another. The vocal cast is a curious mix of prolific cartoon-voiceover specialists and veteran character actors, who attempt to imbue their characters with stereotypical personalities that the impersonal drawings don't convey. Most notoriously, Orson Welles logged his final screen credit as the unenthused, whispered voice of Unicron, and Leonard Nimoy is the voice of Megatron.

Families can talk about the idea of making movies or cartoons as platforms for peddling playthings. Worthy films like Star Wars and Toy Story have shamelessly marketed toys based on themselves, and there were toys inspired by likes of Charlie Chaplin and Mickey Mouse long ago.

We want each and every child to have the confidence to be involved in change in the face of some of the seemingly insurmountable giants. Our Young Transformers initiative will enable our children to be involved in transformative experiences that not only enable social change, but also transforms their own lives.

We want to empower our pupils to become involved in projects of varying scales that tackle issues, support others and improve our communities at a local level and beyond. Our vision is to encourage our pupils to recognise that knowledge is a powerful tool and they can use it effectively to initiate change and improve the world in which they live; giving their time and other resources to assist in making these changes.
