    Netflix's Voltron: Legendary Defender-Studio Mir/Avatar/Korra Team.

    http://www.cartoonbrew.com/internet-...er-138441.html


    The key talent involved with the show should intrigue fans of Nickelodeon’s Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra. Joaquim Dos Santos, a director and storyboard artist on Avatar and Korra, is the exec producer and showrunner of Voltron. Dos Santos’ other directing/storyboarding credits include Justice League, Teen Titans, and G.I. Joe: Resolute, as well as a series of animated shorts based on DC comic book characters The Spectre, Jonah Hex, Green Arrow, and Shazam.

    Dos Santos is joined on Voltron by co-exec producer Lauren Montgomery, who was most recently a supervising producer on Korra, and prior to that, worked as a board artist and director on a variety of projects including Ben 10, Justice League, Avatar, Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, Green Lantern: First Flight, and Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths.

    Voltron’s head writer is another Avatar and Korra alum, Tim Hedrick.
    Thirteen episodes of the Netflix Original series will launch on June 10, 2016.
    DreamWorks also identified today the lead voice cast for the show:

    Princess Allura – Kimberly Brooks (Ben 10: Omniverse, Justice League: War)
    Coran – Rhys Darby (What We Do in the Shadows, Flight of the Concords)
    Shiro, Black Lion – Josh Keaton (Green Lantern: The Animated Series, Transformers Prime)
    Hunk, Yellow Lion – Tyler Labine (Reaper, Tucker & Dale vs. Evil)
    Lance, Blue Lion – Jeremy Shada (Finn in Adventure Time, Batman: The Brave and the Bold)
    Pidge, Green Lion – Bex Taylor-Klaus (Arrow, Scream: The Series, iZombie)
    Keith, Red Lion – Steven Yeun (The Walking Dead, The Legend of Korra)

    The show has crazy talent and beside the robot action the show will be hand drawn.

    At last, I can say what show I’ve been working on past 1 and half years… Many Legend of Korra artists have gathered once more, worked really really hard to revive this awesome 80′s anime into something more unique new action adventure show.
    Lauren Montgomery is a huge get when it comes to story and action. she directed two of my favorite DC Animation shows Wonder Woman and Superman/Batman: Apocalypse

    So there's no Sven, Keith is in the red lion instead of the black, and some new character is in the black lion. I'm guessing "Shiro" is gonna die real quick and get replaced by Keith, putting Alura on the team.

    The character designs look great but I think they should have kept the cross insignia on Voltron's chest.

    WonderCon Panel. sadly the exclusive Clips are not included but from all impressions it amazing, Almost every staff who did the animation is from THE LEGEND OF KORRA Team including Studio Mir.

    From the Panel:
    -The show is a serialization, bigger threats(Game of Thorn Feel), more realistic characters, and richer backstories for both heroes and Villains.
    -They watched All episodes of GoLion and Voltron. took best elements to create the personality of the characters.
    -Shiro is from original GoLion, he was named Shirogane Takashi.
    -There is an ongoing mystery with Shiro's one year absent and Pidge parents.
    -Voltron won’t feature prominently in every episode. they want different scenarios with different outcomes.
    -No plans to use Peter Cullen or Old Voltron Music but they are open to the idea.
    -Voltron Style shading is deliberately taken from the famous Masami Obari.

    Peter Cullen intros along with tbe old music would be awesome, but I can understand them not wanting to do everything the same.

    I like it. I wonder if it will eventually follow the original story and the princess will take over the blue lion.

    Fun interview about the difference between GoLion/Voltron.
    The truth is, that 1984-85 Voltron: Defender of the Universe series was, to put it delicately, a huge mess. Back then, producers cobbled the show together from pieces of the adult-oriented Japanese animated series Beast King GoLion by cutting out some of the gruesome violence and redubbing the dialogue to create new plots that fit the action on screen (sort of).
    But the producers were even more surprised by the R-rated nature of the source material. “We rewatched the original, and went back and watched GoLion. Although the imagery is the same, there are some pretty different themes in the [GoLion] stories,” Montgomery says. “It almost hews a little closer to Game of Thrones. There’s some crazy stuff that happens, and it’s pretty dark.”

    “There were men slapping women, people being beheaded. It was crazy-times,” adds Dos Santos.
