Reboot To Get A Reboot

Posted by Zonk on from the bits-and-bytes dept.

superstick58 writes "Reboot, one of the first CG animated TV shows is returning as a trilogy of feature-length films. This was a great cartoon for me, perhaps it also helped stimulate other developing nerds to embrace the computers that are supposedly run by these enjoyable CG characters."

  1. first full length by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Interesting

    It wasn't one of the first, it was THE first full length computer animated tv show. An awesome one to boot. I hope these films are as dark as it got in the 3rd season.

  3. Go Canada! by kypper · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It's nice to see a canadian show getting its due.

    It was far more entertaining by the third season when Enzo grew up and got really pissed off... it was a nice dark twist.

    What I want to know is who's voicing Megabyte?.. Tony Jay died about a year ago.

  6. Im Psyched by this by Venrix_Ckalzar · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I for one am very happy to see this happen. Granted with the concern about `bad` fan fiction entering and spoiling it for all the rest of us reboot fans, im gonna go out on a limb here and have some faith in the site they are setting up to allow discussion on content. I have personally not heard of anything like this before (feel free to correct me on that though, im curious now) but if it works then maybe we will see more of this, else if it fails and crash `n` burns horribly then we will all learn from the failures and perhaps try again some day.

  7. it has potential by poetmatt · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Overall I'm mixed, but honestly this could be somewhat entertaining, I'm curious to if they'll keep the original style or "improve". It was like futurama gone cgi with some creative ideas in it. Plus wasn't this like somewhat breakthrough animation back in the early cgi days of Reboot, Beast Wars, all that stuff?

  8. To Mend and Defend by Ka+D'Argo · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Reboot was by far one of the best series of the 90's. For a kid's cartoon it's storylines and such even appealed to teenagers and adults (come on, how cool was Enzo grown up as Matrix?). To date the episode where Megabyte and Bob have a guitar battle is one of the coolest things in animation I've ever seen.

    How many read the title of the post to mean something involving a new Vista error producing endless reboots following an update?
