I would love to see ReBoot (1994) with modern CG. And also a modernized plot, considering we know so much more about computers and the Internet now.
1994 was when the Internet started to spread publicly around the world and became a thing you could access from your very own home. It was this cool new technology that connected humanity across the globe, but most people didn't really understand it yet.
So shows like ReBoot captured our fascination with the "Information Superhighway" and built a fantasy/sci-fi story around it. Even if it was horribly inaccurate to how computers and the Internet actually worked.
A group is remastering ReBoot with the blessings of its creators from the original DAT tapes, so they are pixel-perfect HD transfers that one could not have seen on any TV at the time.
Look it up on YouTube. Reboot doesn’t need to be remade, the original masters still looks smoking hot. They recovered the widescreen versions, too.
They’re negotiating the rights to do the same thing to Transformers Beast Wars next.
It needs to be finished. Damn Cartoon Network for cliffhanger canceling them after reviving them from a hasty finale.
