VOLTRON making a comeback, in all forms

By show of hands, how many of you watched the VOLTRON cartoon religiously, each and every episode, anticipating the next big evil robot monster that the evil witch Haggar would send out to destroy the lions and their pilot? Don’t be shy. Apparently it’s vogue again to love Voltron, although I’m not sure it every really went out of style.

Add UTA as another agency on the list of companies entering the toy market, cross-bred with various forms of the entertainment media business. UTA will work with Saint Louis-based World Events prods, holder of the U.S. rights to VOLTRON, to expand the property into multiple areas.

The master plan includes a new animated television series, a video game and a new line of toys. Oh yeah, and what about that feature film that has been discussed for so long? Well, UTA is working to bring a writer onto the project and begin pitching the idea to studios.
