WoW Moviewatch: Arms of Hades - The Touch

Let's keep this cartoon nostalgia train rolling, folks! Arms of Hades - The Touch is another 80s cartoon inspiration from David Nguyen, who was originally inspired by those amazing folks in Fifth Element. I'd say he's more than picked up his own steam now.

On the off chance you don't know the original, take some time and enjoy this epic scene from Transformers: The Movie. As a legit child of this era who remembers The Touch very, very well (and may even have danced to it at a homecoming), I'm forced to stand in awe and quietly salute you. Very well done, sir. You've got the touch. Interested in the wide world of machinima? We have new movies every weekday here on WoW Moviewatch! Have suggestions for machinima we ought to feature?

This is a shot-for-shot recreation of the opening to Thundercats. David Nguyen did an astounding job of the video. It makes me both want to play WoW and watch the cartoon. It's just awesome. But there's more.

This is the kind of machinima and community involvement you hope to see. David directly credited Fifth Element for inspiring the video. It's always incredibly astounding to see machinima creators respond to one another this way. Congratulations to both David and Fifth Element on creating a cartoon machinima legacy.
