“Transformers One” is the second animated feature film directed by Academy Award-winner Josh Cooley, following the success of “Toy Story 4.” While that film came with its own level of pre-expectations, so too does Cooley’s origin story of how Orion Pax and D-16 became Optimus Prime and Megatron, respectively. With an all-star cast and talented animators, the film has received positive reviews for its action, story, voice acting, and respect for the Transformers legacy. Cooley was kind enough to let us in on the filmmaking process, the pressure he faced in handling another beloved franchise, what’s next for him in his future, and more. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in theaters from Paramount Pictures. Thank you, and enjoy!
