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."

    one of the press releases said they were getting fan submissions for storylines...

    do you really want REBOOT FANFICTION?

  2. 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.

  4. 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.

    If someone has missed ReBoot and has no idea what's going on, see this happy video it is quite informative (or search the internets for "Daemon Rising", after all, daemon is the word...)

    Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it. This quote from the story makes it sound like they're going to start the plot over from scratch: "The idea is to relaunch the brand in a new way." Personally, I wish they'd finish out the original series, especially since they already had the ending written.
     
    Oh well, here's hoping that the new movies kick as much ass as season 3 did, although the lack of all the original writers makes me worried...

    Don't forget the awesome summary of season 3. (For those who never watched it).

    I crack up every time I watch it.

    I hope they manage to tie up the few loose threads left in S4.

  9. 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.
