Ahh, yes that's much better. I wonder what is in that special boxed set that makes it so expensive?

Possibly more special features. The boxed set has 11 discs, but this deluxe, reissued set has only 8.

I guess sometimes if you want more, you have to pay more.

Oh wow. Apparently, the film did so bad that Universal is actually pulling it from theaters two weeks after it's release.

It failed worse than I thought.

It's their own fault. If they would have stuck to the over-the-top, campy but fun tone of the cartoon, they would have at least pulled in some looking for a nostalgic fix.

The eighties cartoon was anything but forgettable, but sadly the movie opted to go in a direction totally unrelated to said cartoon which in the end was its downfall. Fans would have flooded theaters in droves had they stuck to the original story.

An adaption can only work if it's done the right way. Filmmakers. Always taking matters into their own hands.

Can't say I wasn't surprised to see it get pulled so quickly.  The cartoon was great but once you pull away from it by too much you loose your viewers. 

The ones who made this might get a second chance. Only they'll name it:
