Gatchaman is the name for what I was raised to know as G-Force. No, not that silly superhero ginea pig movie. G-Force was just what we ended up calling Battle of the Planets.

This franchise holds a part of my youth in a stranglehold and I have been hoping for an animated feature since the rejuvinated Gatachaman dtv series in 2000. I can’t wait to see this. It looks SO HOT!
