Rainmaker Entertainment inc. disclosed the news in a press release that coincided with the 20th anniversary of the debut in 1994... 1994? Does anyone else feel as old as I do?
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the series, it is a Canadian CGI-animated cartoon that
was set in the inner world of a computer system known as Mainframe. The city was populated almost entirely by binomes, little creatures that represent either 1's or 0's, and some Sprites, such as Bob and Dot. The series consisted of adventures focused on fighting computer viruses, such as Megabyte, and defending the city from Game Cubes sent by the User.
Although there seems to be a lot of excitement around the mews, fans may have some reason to be weary. Back in 2008 Rainmaker announced it was working on a Reboot film trilogy. There was even a trailer released in 2009. Sadly, 5 years later, we have no such luck. Also, while heartbroken fans look forward to a new future, the show is still looking for a network to air on... I'm looking at you, YTV.
Maybe I'm the overly optimistic type, but the talk seems sincere. The company is even utilizing social media to gauge interest in the show. As for the fans, unless we want this news to be reformatted with the rest of the Reboot announcements, my suggestion would be to show your support on the official site.
There is of course the question of how the show will be restructured to fit the world today. While the original show focused on Bob defending Mainframe from the 1994 world of computer technology, with all of the advances, there is no telling where they can take a new series in 2013. Maybe Megabyte has been overpowered by his older, much larger cousin... Terabyte?
