Madman Entertainment doesn’t get a chance to promote this franchise too often but they’re doing so with the Sailor Moon S: The Movie release. The feature film saw a release earlier this month on December 5th, 2018 with a Blu-ray priced at $34.98 and a DVD edition at $29.98. While the North American Blu-ray edition included English cast interviews as extras, those are not available on the Madman editions out of Australia, which is unfortunate. Check out the fun of the new trailer below for some Sailor Moon goodness!

But without the power to transform into Super Sailor Moon, the Guardians find themselves seriously outmatched! Will Sailor Chibi Moon’s strong desire to protect everyone’s be the key to accessing Pegasus’s power?
