Voltron: The Third Dimension


Voltron: The Third Dimension is an American animated television series produced by World Events Productions. It is a sequel to the 1980s animated series Lion Force Voltron and is set five years after the end of the series. Neil Ross, Michael Bell, and B.J. Ward reprised their roles as Keith, Lance, and Princess Allura for the series. The show was animated by Netter Digital Entertainment, inc. and Mike Young Productions. It departed from the original Voltron's animated look, as well as some character changes, such as the physical appearance of Prince Lotor.

Plot

The story takes place in the Denubian Galaxy. Shannon Muir mapped the galaxy in the 1980s as a fan and posted it online. In 1996, World Events Productions became aware of the work and made it the official starmap for the show.
With antagonist Prince Lotor's prison escape, the heroic Voltron Force re-assemble against him, but must contend simultaneously with the various monsters and warships sent by Lotor and with opposition on their own side, represented by the artificial intelligence "Amalgamus", a sophisticated computer who objects periodically to the Voltron Force's methods.

Production

In June 1995, it was reported World Events Productions was looking to revive Voltron with the intention of premiering a new series for Fall of 1996. Netter Digital co-produced the series with Mike Young Productions and marked the first time a CGI television series had been fully produced in the United States. Alongside Crusade, Voltron: The Third Dimension was Netter's follow-up project following the conclusion of Babylon 5.
