Master tapes for Reboot found.

[CastletonSnob]

Time for a little good news/bad news.

 

The good news? Master tapes for every episode of the classic CGI cartoon Reboot have been found.

 

The bad news? They need a D1 tape deck to be read.

As a Canadian I appreciate what Reboot was from a technical point, but unfortunately, it also looked like garbage to my eyes so it's preservation does little to move my needle.
 

I am glad to see some important art may get preserved for future generations though.
 

Call me when the original cut of Event Horizon turns up though

Okay now this is pretty awesome!

 

I grew up with this show, and honestly would love a proper high quality digital release...unfortunate that they have to resort to fans doing it, after they dumped all that money on the Reboot reboot (which was a slap in the face to ReBoot fans)

Sounds like the world has been reaching out to them, and it sounds like they have a solution being cooked up!

I can't wait to see if this ends up with solid, high quality re-masters being released.

The scariest thing about this situation, is that it’s actually better than what people will be doing 30 years from now; At least there are physical master tapes/storage media from shows at that time.

 

With many things being streamed exclusively now, and the small incentive a studio has to store that data for smaller shows and movies, there will be a lot of things lost.
