Babylon 5 Keeping The Dream Alive [Animated Movie]

This movie is a collection of my shorter animations with a 'Lost Tales' vibe.
I did not re-score the music so there is some repetition of Christopher Franke's excellent Babylon 5 themes from the original show. I hope this doesn't ruin the experience for you.
You can find more Babylon 5 and other sci-fi oriented animations on my channel. Cheers!

It was really fantastic, I love and love this wonderful Babylon 5 series, was successful here in Brazil, congratulations on the developers of this amazing series and of course to the creators of this channel, it was excellent, very good. And this audio so ours, it really was very good :)

Thanks m8 ;-)

[@briananthony4044]

The Shadows and the Vorlons both wanted the younger races to advance, but both had differing ideas of how to achieve this. The Shadows believed advancement would come from hardship and war that would drive technological advances, the Vorlons throught spiritual advancement and enlightenment were the way for the younger races to precede.

[@Lennis01]

Wow! You have not only totally nailed the B5 look, but you also perfectly emulated the camera work from the show. All it needs is sound and better particle effects. (For the weapons fire and engine exhausts.)

[@user-zd6ku4rf6g]

На мой взгляд автор слишком принижает младшие расы, "Колдун" очень серьёзный корабль, с тяжелым вооружением и отличной защитой, а его тут истребители уничтожают, а истребители Теней даже "белой звезде" мало что сделать могли. Кстати, конечно "белые звёзды" красивые корабли, но они далеко не самые мощные по вооружению и по защите, а тут их как чуть ли не самые мощные подают.

The television series reboot is dead. The television network was bought by another network and a lot of shows and projects were cancelled.

[@SpacialKatana]

Good, I don't want a reboot b/c it just won't be the same. It wasn't the FX that made the show [it helped at the time], it was the cast & story.

[@Lennis01]

This is the first I've heard of the cancellation, but it is probably for the best. A reboot would most likely have destroyed the legacy of the original show, and I honestly don't think JMS could have protected the spirit of the series from the woke brigade running Hollywood. (It doesn't help that JMS is pretty far left himself.)

[@allenlovell1604]

Latest I heard on the fate of B5 reboot or continuation was it's being looked at by HBO-MAX, after being looked at by the CW, and then dropped ultimately. 😳 Personally I'd prefer a continuation versus a reboot ; they're are so many things to look at Vorlons, The Narns, Centauri , Shadows, Tech-Mages, and so much more ! There was a PC game in development and that got canceled 😞; actors and actresses in the series wanted payment for their characters and voices used, and the creator of the series had some disagreements as well ! So we shall see what happens to my favorite series ; a reboot will need new actors and actresses to replace 🤔 members who've passed away, and that may be difficult to find 🤔.
