Super quick vent post: If you're watching a movie, put your damn phone away, yeah? Pay attention. The people who produced that film didn't make it just so you could sit there and ignore it. ✌️

“Be Strong enough to be gentle.” Peter Cullen tells the story of how his brother inspired the voice he would use to play Optimus Prime. It’s a simple yet poignant quote that sums up why Optimus and Peter are so beloved. Til All Are One. 💔
