"ReBoot" was a strange little show in many ways. The first ever entirely CGI-Series, it was incredibly ground-breaking at the time for this fact alone. But it wasn't just that which made "ReBoot" so original. The whole premise for the show is very geeky, which is probably why it's initial massive success surprised so many people. You have to figure there is something more this show is offering the viewer, and there definitely is.
Obviously, the show is technically astounding for it's time. It's hard to appreciate just what amazing work the team behind "ReBoot" created with, by today's standards, very primitive tools. People often credit "Toy Story" as the first truly immersive CGI production, but "ReBoot" is the real ground breaker in this field. Apart from that, the characters created on this show are amazing. They have back story, character development, strong personality and have generally been incredibly well realised. Although quite basic in the first two seasons, the writing on "ReBoot" was very well developed by the Third and Fourth Seasons. It's certainly the best written Kids programme I've ever seen.
It's a great shame that "ReBoot" isn't given more credit. It was truly technically groundbreaking, and in addition it was very well written and produced. One can only imagine at the talent and dedication of the team behind this truly charming television programming. The whole show was a risk and was TRULY original. If more programmes on Television (especially animated ones) were as classy, vivid, imaginative, inventive and generally impressive as "ReBoot" than the TV schedules would be a much more inspiring.
score 10/10
