I will not stand for this Reboot slander. Being one of the first fully CG animated shows to exist of course it wasn't going to hold up to modern standards. But for the time it was a pretty big deal and it paved the way for so many shows that came after. Still one of my favorite shows.

Man these kids not realizing that Reboot was pretty high end 3D for weekly TV show at that time.

[@bigbotno1]

Reboot is a great computer animation. It came out in a time when more and more animation went from drawing by hand to computer (3D) animation. As the storyline involves computers, the internet and related things, it all came together. In that time other great computer animations came out: 'Transformers - Beast Wars' later 'Beast Machines' and Shadow Raiders.' Reboot may look dated, but begin 90's computers weren't as powerfull as today (rendering costed a lot of time), graphics weren't as advanced and they had to do a lot animation by hand and write special software to get things done. As today graphics are near realistic, a lot is automated in animation, we even got AI to help.

Gargoyles had way too amazing a story line for a kids show. It was honestly one of the first show where I every empathized with the Antagonist. Demona and Goliath was so much more dimensional then most modern adult TV shows. And even its stereotypes it made in to make them relatable they broke and it felt worhwhile. Damn now I want to watch it again.

[@TheMtVernonKid]

Reboot was literally an unheard of idea... an entire show done in CG was literally too expensive a proposition at the time. A Canadian CG company, Mainframe, proved them wrong. To Mainframe's credit, each season the animation and character models got better. Bonus points for being educational on computer jargon, game cliches, and embracing the uncanny valley creepiness.

The host let these kids look ridiculous. The guys would have told them important information about the cartoons. Like the fact that GI Joe is the whole organization, not just one guy. Also they would have explained that back then 3D animation was brand new in the 90's, and Reboot was actually very expensive to make then.

Hit that like button if you watched Beast Wars, Biker Mice from Mars, and Mummies Alive! as a kid.

@frommany21 I also loved Histeria. I got yelled at by my parents during the historical re-enactment for turning the volume all the way up 😂

I'm sorry i had to mute the Care Bears theme... NOT getting that song stuck in my head again... other than that, I was SHOCKED that these teens didn't know half these shows! My childhood just got insulted! And to call TMNT a 4/10, and ReBoot a 1/10? OUCH! What I loved the most though is the fact that these teens found Animaniacs inappropriate (have you READ the lyrics of your music?) or found Gargoyles scary... Wow...

“They should call it Warner Siblings”. It’s called Warner Brothers because it was started by not two brothers, not three brothers but four brothers called Warner. It’s not a name they just pulled from thin air that shouldn’t offend your sensibilities. It was four brothers and that’s why they called it that.

They’re just talking about the cartoon characters of which one was a girl

[@Dreyno]

@@treas7400 The cartoon characters aren’t called “Warner Brothers” either. It’s quite clear they were referring to the company name.

[@treas7400]

@@Dreyno the cartoon characters are yakko Warner wakko Warner and dot Warner and in the intro song it says “come join the Warner brothers (and the Warner sister too)” which is obviously a tongue in cheek reference to the Warner brothers company but it’s specifically referencing the three siblings in the show, not the four brothers who founded WB. This topic did not need this much exposition in the first place

[@Dreyno]

@@treas7400 In my opinion they critiqued the name of the company. Your reading of it is slightly obtuse. I don’t think that is what they were saying. My response was a simple recourse to fact. You challenged me on it. I suppose I could’ve ignored it or maybe agreed against my better judgment but I don’t think it’s remiss to restate my case.

[@treas7400]

@@Dreyno they made the statement right after the line “join the Warner brothers and the Warner sister too” There is simply only one way to interpret the statement given the timing and context

Reboot deserves so much better. The documentary Reboot Rewind can’t come fast enough.

[@Tennisman81]

Wait so why didn't they show the intro to TMNT. Had the best intro of the cartoons they showed.

[@harisparwaiz735]

Reboot was the illest. These darn kids. 😂 and Gargoyles was 10/10

[@yrenekurtz5268]

Reboot was a great show but visually is VERY dated, I can 100% understand why a kid would find it unappealing nowadays.

[@trinitybernhardt9944]

I loved Gargoyles. So good. They absolutely should have used Magic School Bus and Schoolhouse Rock for everything. My all time favorite cartoon back then (i was born in 85) was X-Men. The best cartoon there was. I loved Captain Planet too, but I won't argue it was the best. 😂

[@CocoCece08]

82, and I loved XMen.

These kids are spoiled by today’s CGI. In my day, we were happy to have ReBoot’s level of CGI. 😳 …my God, have I really gotten that old.

Huh, I always thought the show was ugly, even as I was watching new episodes coming out. The story made up for it, at least
