Voltron Movie Scrapped

Your Saturday-morning cartoon flashbacks suffered another blow this week as the long-planned Voltron: Defender of the Universe adaptation died in captivity. The animation reboot will instead be sold off to TV for parts -- 26 parts, to be exact, airing next year on Nicktoons. This follows the reassignment of ThunderCats and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers projects from the big to small screens as well. Can't anybody appreciate a sword-wielding robot made out of lion spaceships anymore? Sheesh. [Variety via JoBlo]
