'Voltron' Returns to TV

Classic Media announced today that it has taken on the international distribution and worldwide merchandising and licensing rights to Voltron, which first launched on U.S. television in 1984 and is being resurrected for contemporary audiences via a new animated series for Nicktoons in 2011.

World Events Productions (WEP), which owns Voltron, and Classic Media are producing the new series, Voltron Force - the first original television content in the franchise in 10 years along.

Voltron Force will follow a group of new recruits on their once-in-a-lifetime chance to battle alongside the original group of heroes. The 26x30-minute show will consist of 2D and CGI animation.
