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!
SAILOR MOON R: THE MOVIE features
a renowned English language cast already familiar to fans from the VIZ
Media-distributed SAILOR MOON anime series. Voice actress Stephanie Sheh reprises her leading role of Usagi Tsukino / Sailor Moon along with actor Robbie Daymond as Mamoru Chiba / Tuxedo Mask. Newcomer Ben Diskin will voice the role of the film’s villain, Fiore.
The SAILOR MOON anime series is inspired by the bestselling manga series created by Naoko
Takeuchi. In the series, Usagi Tsukino is a clumsy but kindhearted
teenage girl who transforms into the powerful guardian of love and
justice, Sailor Moon. Meeting allies along the way who share similar
fates, Usagi and her team of planetary Sailor Guardians fight to protect
the universe from forces of evil and total annihilation!
Fans
are invited to enjoy the original, classic SAILOR MOON as well as the
all-new SAILOR MOON CRYSTAL anime series, which are available from VIZ
Media as Limited Edition Blu-ray/DVD Combo Packs as well as multi-disc Standard Edition DVD Sets.
