Holy shit never realized it was the same actor that voiced Virgil in Mighty Max
SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
Also the Supreme Being in Time Bandits!
FenrirIII@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I loved Mighty Max
SuperEars@lemmy.world 2 months ago
That’s the late Tony Jay. He’s my all-time favorite voice.

I wonder how riffable an episode could be.
SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
I feel like it’s very riffable, but it needs to be done by some folks who really love the series.

They say that they’re around 3 episodes deep into the remastering effort. Out of 48 total episodes. Hopefully a tasty blu ray box set will drop one day!

“Hey Al, they’re remastering our series.” “WHAT?”
Thorry84@feddit.nl 2 months ago
Is this any good? No one knows for sure, but I intend to find out.
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
Dude this show is a classic.
Thorry84@feddit.nl 2 months ago
I know, I saw every episode at least 10 times. I even had the official Reboot merch sweater back in the day. It was one of my favorite sweaters and I wore it till the print came off.
To this day whenever I talk to my brothers and we ask each other a question we don’t know we’ll say: “No one knows for sure, but I intend to find out. Reboot!”
DumbAceDragon@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Only watched the first season, but it’s very fun, very corny, and full of tech puns. I’d say it’s aged decently well though.
VindictiveJudge@lemmy.world 2 months ago
It gets much better after season one. ABC turned on them, the treacherous dogs, and they switched to Cartoon Network, who were much more lenient in what they could get away with.
RacerX@lemm.ee 2 months ago
I’m jealous that you get to experience this show for the first time. Season 3 is incredible.
Thorry84@feddit.nl 2 months ago
I saw the show many times, it was a joke based on the intro.

The Web invaded Mainframe
Sprite and virus battled side by side,
Attempting to reclaim the city
from the rift which opened wide.But Megabyte betrayed Bob and
he threw him deep inside the pit.
The pit was closed and Bob was hosed
and all that he could say was “Nooo!”Without Bob to protect us
we thought we would have no barrier,
From he who would infect us
except Enzo, which was scarier,
The city shivered terrified
from fear of the Infector’s touch…“I guess your fear was verified, I wasn’t a protector much.”
(I guess our fear was verified, he wasn’t a protector much)
(I guess our fear was verified, he wasn’t a protector much)
(I guess our fear was verified, he wasn’t a protector-ector much)It wasn’t Enzo’s fault at first
he only was a little Sprite,
At best he was the worst but then
he slowly learned to do it right,And just as he was getting skilled
a Game came down he couldn’t win,
I thought for sure they’d both been killed,
first Bob then Enzo, not again!(And just as he was getting skilled a Game came down he couldn’t win)
(She thought for sure they’d both been killed, first Bob then Enzo, not again!)I went from Game to Game
I aged, I grew and lost my innocence,
I soon became enraged by each
and ev’ry bad experience,The Sprite you knew was gone
I had become a grim aggressor man,
I knew from that point on
that I was truly Bob’s successor man.(The Sprite we knew was gone, he had become a grim aggressor man)
(He knew from that point on that he was truly Bob’s successor man)I met up with the Webriders
and took the form of Interface,
I joined my gun with pirate swords
and sailed the seas of cyberspace,And when at last the pair of us
were fin’lly reunited guys,
Our shouts of joy did blare because
we really were delighted guys.We soon made tracks to Mainframe
so our friends could reunite with us,
We made it back and Megabyte
was waiting there to fight with us.When Bob went face to face
to face to face with Hexadecimal……his chances for survival shrank from small to infin’tesimal.
(His chances for survival shrank from small to infin’tesimal)
(His chances for survival shrank from small to infin’tesimal)
(His chances for survival shrank from small to infin’tesi-esi-mal)Bob helped to defragment my head
while Matrix fought with Megabyte,
I thought he’d wind up dead
but Matrix put up a terrific fight.I’d dreamed of this each lonely night
of doing in that virus trash,
But just as I had won the fight
he engineered a system crash!(You dreamed of this each lonely night of doing in that virus trash)
(But just as you had won the fight he engineered a system crash)What Megabyte had hoped to do
was cause his death to crack us up,
I gambled on the User to ReBoot
and thereby back us up.It worked! We all were born anew
and rid of things barbaric,
And now we’re back together,
Ev’rything’s alphanumeric!(It worked, we all were born anew and rid of things barbaric)
(And now we’re back together, ev’rything’s alphanumeric)And now we’re back together,
EVERYTHING IS ALPHANUMERIC!!hopesdead@startrek.website 2 months ago
The live action sequel of ReBoot made for Netflix, ReBoot: The Guardian Code, is a wild one. Imagine Video Game High School crossed over with Power Rangers but is actually the plot of Tron.
Seriously, super cheesy. I’m embarrassed knowing it exist let alone having watched at least two episodes.
EtherWhack@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I saw it more as a half-assed live-action Code Lyoko
ScottThePoolBoy@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I love this show so much! There are a few channels that have been playing every episode on a loop for a while now. This is fantastic.
Cracks_InTheWalls@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
These folks are doing fantastic work. If you’re a Canuck, find the Reboot Rewind folks on your social media of choice, they’re going around doing screenings of their doc (and some of the D1 footage I think) in Canadian cities.
hopesdead@startrek.website 2 months ago
Can someone explain why a remaster is wanted on a technical level? This show had a very unique art and animation style. The only shown I can think of that might come close to this is Transformers: Beast Wars.
Does a Google search… right, because it was also a Mainframe show.
jerakor@startrek.website 2 months ago
Remaster doesn’t change the original art or animation. Sometimes it is a rerender of original source files. Sometimes it is a treatment of the existing master files. It just adds fidelity to the picture and sometimes audio. Fixes things like low framerate, weird lighting effects, that kind of thing.
hopesdead@startrek.website 2 months ago
Isn’t the intent to enhance the original?
DumbAceDragon@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Watched this the other day. Convinced me to give the whole series a try.
celsiustimeline@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
It’s a top tier kids show. Other than the ANCIENT cgi, the show holds up extremely well and has some great laughs in it as well.
SplashJackson@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
I want more, MORE
GaMEChld@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Dang I just rewatched a fan made version not too long ago!
silverchase@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Ooh, please share
GaMEChld@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I think it might’ve been this set:
Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I remember being so hyped that they were making a new reboot series, then we got whatever the fuck that crap is that they called reboot.
toynbee@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I didn’t know they rebooted Reboot.
Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 2 months ago
It was some awful weird show where live action teens go into the mainframe and become these robot guys. Nothing to do with the original show except one episode where they had Bob. But everyone hated it
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
Yoooo
Dkarma@lemmy.world 2 months ago
All the fong you can handle
Mango@lemmy.world 2 months ago
BROOO
JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 2 months ago
This was pre mocap, so everything was keyframed by hand and interpolated using software. Source: used to be a 3DSv3/ Lightwave enthusiast back in the day. Maya was out of reach for me. Kids don’t know how good they have it these days.
TommySoda@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I rewatched it like 10 years back I think? It was always this bad.
TommySoda@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Holy shit this is a blast from the past. This show was my jam as a kid. The animation has aged horribly, but I’d be so down to watch the whole series again.
pemptago@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
Even Toy Story 1 animation is dated, which is feature-quality, not TV, and it came out after Reboot.
It’s definitely dated, but I admire the historic technical feat. For example, they didn’t have* inverse kinematics* back then, meaning they couldn’t plant the character’s feet on the ground or hands on a surface and move the body without the limbs moving as well. They’d have to repose the hands and feet to line up. It’s why so many shots don’t show their feet unless they’re standing still and why the boy (enzo?) is always diving into the shot.
acosmichippo@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I kinda feel like the remaster just makes the animation look worse. Maybe the lower resolution of the original subconsciously lowers my expectations.
circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 2 months ago
This. It was meant to be viewed at 480p.
TommySoda@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I rewatched it like 10 years back I think? It was always this bad. I remember thinking “wow this animation is way worse than I remember” even back then when I was rewatching it. Nostalgia plays a huge part in my opinion. Like how you’d play games on the PS2 and think to yourself “wow games look so realistic these days” but when you go back they look awful compared to today’s standards.
Yokozuna@lemmy.world 2 months ago
The ps1 game was horrible if I can recall from my kid brain correctly. I had forgotten what this series was called for YEARS, and it bugged me so much. I’m glad that’s finally off of my chest.
kurikai@lemmy.world 2 months ago
The PS1 game is awesome
