I love him.

Not for this, but for his music.  I could give two shits about the movie.

Car Voltron kicked ass.

Also, I thought Jessie had no Internet connectivity.

I only have internet connectivity and a cd burner at work, not home.

I do still have free cable, though.

Is there a way to actually make an enjoyable film out of this?  Better yet, is there a way to make a profitable film out of this?

Transformers did serious bank, but the "characters" were beloved by a generation.  Voltron was never more than a neat concept for kids.  Trying to transplant that into some kind of reality could prove disastrous.  See Speed Racer for an example.

Not to mention that while the Transformers were large robots, Voltron was HUGE.  How would you make that work.

They should stick to Robotech instead.
