VIZ Media and Toei Animation announced special screenings of Sailor Moon R in select theatres beginning in late January. The english dubbed movie will be in over 300 theatres nationwide and features a special gift for ticketholders who attend the events in North America.
That isn't the only goodie that event goers will get, they'll also be treated to a special animated Sailor Moon short, Make Up! Sailor Guardians. The feature film has a stellar english voice cast that many VIZ Media fans are already familiar with, voice actress Stephanie Sheh as the leading role of Usagi Tsukino / Sailor Moon along with fellow voice actor Robbie Daymond as Mamoru Chiba / Tuxedo Mask. Newcomer Ben Diskin will voice the role of the film’s villain, Fiore.
In the film, long before Mamoru found his destiny with Usagi, he gave a single rose in thanks to a lonely boy who helped him recover from the crash that claimed his parents. This long-forgotten friend, Fiore, has been searching the galaxy for a flower worthy of that sweet gesture long ago. The mysterious flower he finds is beautiful, but has a dark side - it has the power to take over planets. To make matters worse, the strange plant is tied to an ominous new asteroid near Earth! Faced with an enemy blooming out of control, it’s up to Sailor Moon and the Sailor Guardians to band together, stop the impending destruction and save Mamoru!
