ReBoot 1993 Promo Video #2

Created in 1993 this is the second promo video used by "The Hub" to sell the ReBoot concept and series to the networks. Animation style is set between Fast Forward: The Making of ReBoot and the final promo available on this channel. Check out the flesh toned cast. Pink Bob? I DON'T THINK SO!

[@227060]

After seeing Reboot's (very) humble roots, its given me an all new appreciation 4 the show we got, which impressive considering how much I already revered it

[@Kazuo1G]

Ever notice that Prototype!Bob has the same outfit that Enzo would later have?

[@ReBootRevival]

"Wally doesn't live here anymore. Bwahahahaha." Interesting that they had Tony Jay by that point.

[@skelemama]

Thank god they changed this...

[@skyneko136]

In some parallel universe this still exists

[@devinleber5604]

Well Mainframe Entertainment had to start somewhere.

[@buster5661]

This wasn't even the first version

[@Wats2461]

holy shit it never occurred to me that the binomes were 0s and 1s. I'm an such an idiot. Mind = blown

[@raccoon681]

i just realized that now too

[@kevinfisher5492]

Wait until you realise what a "phong" is.

[@triggeredcat120]

I am so glad this was not the final product.

[@madamefluffy4788]

That was amusing! So, essentially, its started off as a mix between Tron and Captain N: The Game Master - where a human man gets sucked into a virtual word.

[@madamefluffy4788]

@@robertkenny1201 To each their own. Loved the OG 90s series. The reboot of Reboot, though - was pure trash.

[@Steelwaterfall1]

​@madamefluffy4788 Don't know what they were thinking trying to turn it into friggin diet Code Lyoko/Power Rangers. All I know is I hope the upscaled episodes renew interest in this series and he'll, maybe we can finally get a half decent movie like they've been trying to do for years

[@marylizabetha]

Crazy to see the roots of such a great show. This was a good watch. Thanks for posting, I never would have known it existed otherwise. :)

[@JacobMKeeneAKADrPepperKing]

2:01 A different version of Megabyte, still voiced by Tony Jay!

[@daniellclary]

They made good changes. I would have never thought it started off like that.

[@TetsuDeinonychus]

Crazy that Mike the TV was already a character by this point.

[@briansmith2739]

This animation is still impressive for 1993. The final version looks a lot better, like the changes on Bob, Dot and Enzo and Megabyte.

[@ZeeZeeBun]

Ooohh how glad I am they kept working to improve on this... Though some of the gag's definitely made it through to the first season.

[@alexk8792]

2:43 thumbs up at the "Let's Get Rocked" music vid excerpt!

[@StormsandSaugeye]

I found another test footage, and it's interesting seeing the progression in animation as well as the progression in technology in these videos.

[@AnimeFan2236]

This was, in fact, the "final" version before they got more funding. (in the description) By the time they received funding, the show had already looked like the third promo..

[@melissamaree4335]

Sooo glad they changed it. How the characters look now have more of a trademark look. I mean Dot wasn't even gonna be important in this version. No dots dinner but a chip n slip dinner! No!

[@agitapelotudos]

Cuánta magia esto! Cómo no lo vi antes?!?!?!

[@violetscourge8793]

🤣 Bob said "Hold it" and the video started buffering.

[@kestelia]

oh wow that's crazy! The show has changed so much from these tests! Ah man.. I miss reboot. I can't wait until there is more info on the movies..

[@RentonElric85]

Cyclops: NNNOOOOOO! Where's the heart?!

[@eraser400]

ReBoot is the best show ever!

[@cuteclau]

Man, oh man!!! I must say that even though I prefer the way I saw it in tv... this was an interesting idea too...

[@lyokolover7104]

2:43 Ian Pearson, one of the co-creators of ReBoot also animated the Def Leppard "Let's Get Rocked" video. Here's the link to watch the full video m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/eICUf5SblKp1rLM

[@Cytroen]

So this is what happens in Windows 3.1. I wonder what happens in Windows 10.

[@baliebox4916]

[@TheBlueFoxOFFICIAL]

2:26 Was that the Ghostbusters Proton Pack sound?

[@Aristocles22]

Jeez, this is archaic.

[@KillThad]

0:51 True horror.

[@Megatron-xs2qe]

KillThad 2:52 You were saying?

[@RobH1093]

It still looks like it could have been a rather interesting show, but it wouldn't be as fondly remembered

[@neooneeightytwo]

I am so glad they changed Enzo around - He is scary looking hehe. Reboot , reboot where would i be today if this didn't come out. They don't make em like this anymore... *queue old person speech* On the real though , this show paved the way to how i am today. It thought me a lot about computers and i didn't even know it at the time. Hands down my favorite tv show of all time. :)

[@SuaveBeatschannel]

Omg!!! I never knew of this.

[@McDerpify]

Bob looking like he's got to install microwave ovens

[@therealtroll3900]

So this was a pilot to reboot

[@-null123]

Is thair any more information about this stage of ReBoot?

[@didjargo]

It is so strange to see the proto-forms of these characters and concepts.

[@GabTheDrummer]

Thanks the heaven they changed it to what we now know

[@jc31213]

Hmmm, the background music. Sounds like Mark Mothersbaugh wrote it.

[@fernie-fernandez]

I’m glad I’m not the only one, at 0:59/2:28 the brass-like synths sounded like it came from the earlier seasons of The Rugrats…

[@ssaman3549]

1:53 IS THIS THE 1, 2, BUCKLE MY SHOE SONG????!!!!!!!!!

[@TheOwlsBranch]

THANK GOD THEY CHANGED IT!!!!!

[@Megatron-xs2qe]

Looks like they gave this early design of Bob to Enzo.

[@guerilla9one]

I love reboot its on tubi , I'm just upset that they left it the way they did its 2022 if they were to redo the whole show and make more seasons I'm beyond sure and confident it'd be a big hit

[@sladkinable]

2:06 Is that a prototype version of Hack/Slash?

[@sgtforge21]

the kids a rash with an attitude? man hope bob doesn't think that in the actual series

[@UroWasHere]

2:47 digital nightmare

[@ReapeX]

Wow had no idea, this is epic lol

[@ShrekWallBee]

+ReapeX this how shows like the Simpsons got started :D

[@AgExNeAp]

tahnks Gos reboot wasnt like this

[@linettemendez70]

"Fast food's a problem." No, it's not.

[@Xtreme7175]

Enzo sounds like Bubsy.

[@Viczarratt]

Yeah, and he blinks like bubsy too...

[@WikiSorcerer]

Just about the only thing that stayed the same were the Binomes. That singing kid is terrifying.

[@mr.pendleton7121]

Don’t think the kid was part of Reboot. Most likely just another animation the team worked on for some music video.

[@fhdshdsjh5530]

'Member Reboot!

[@devanhinskey9001]

fhds hdsjh Sure, I 'Member!

[@MatrixSektor]

Promotional tape is blocked on youtube? :-(

[@goonking420]

This was reboot!? THIS IS THE F*CKING JETSONS 64!!

[@mmmmmmmmm95]

protoype bob = young keanu reeves

[@LillianFultz-d1i]

1:58 Promo Video Bob Dragon Mr Dragon! Where’s Wally? Promo Video Megabyte Wally Doesn’t Live Live Here Anymore! Laughing Diabolically

[@GWKTM]

Mainframe claimed they initially wanted ReBoot to be dark and arc-based. Yet these early demos were quite as casual and comical as the first two seasons of the final series. I guess ABC's BSnP standards already kicked in

[@apex2000]

hay look Dungeon Dude 1... i remeber dunegon dude from the show

[@Fargoth_Ur]

OH GOD WHAT

[@EhPlusGamer]

'Number 2' is right. If this is #2, I'd hate to see #1. Yeesh.

[@stevenh5510]

2:06 proto Hack

[@OutlawOtaku]

Dat cgi

[@spunkflunk]

woh i cant believe i watched this, the animations looks so crappy

[@fullthrotleegle]
