Retro Goodness

Silver statue and static television rang a small bell, but I can’t think of what it would have been, or even picture it properly.

Also, you missed Dogtanian and the Three Muskahounds!

Princess Romy from Willy Fog was my first cartoon crush.

oh my god I do, there was black good of some kind *hunts on youtube*

Reboot was awesome! Shame it got cancelled here halfway through series 3 – a friend of mine has the rest of it on DVD and it is completely awesome! Except for it then got cancelled by the production company on a major cliffhanger at the end of series 4…

The two films are pretty much series 4. And they end with the huest cliffhanger in the history of chiffhangers and we may never see a resolution…

Ok, brief run-down of the Series 4 films (with a little help from wiki):

Daemon Rising:

A supervirus known as Daemon has taken over the Super Computer, and is trying to infect the entire net. Despite being a virus, she is not malevolent, and only wants to bring order to the net. To this end, she used something called ‘The Word’ to brainwash people she comes into contact with, and has already infected all of the Guardian Collective, apart from Bob. Arriving in Mainframe, Hexadecimal powers up in the core, and uses the energy to fight Daemon. However, it is in vain: Daemon initiates the final stage of the infection, which causes everyone infected to begin a web-wide binary countdown, which will cause them all to be deleted. This also deleted Daemon. A cure to the infection, taken from Matrix’s PID, is delivered to the net through Hexidecimal, and while everyone is cured, it fragments Hex into (supposed) deletion. At the end of the movie, Bob and Dot get engaged.

My Two Bobs:

To the confusion of everyone, however, a portal opens from the net and another Bob steps through. After some counseling from Phong and Mouse, Dot decides to marry the new Bob, whereupon Glitch Bob -the nominal original- earnestly attempts to return himself to his original form in order to resolve his existential situation. His efforts ultimately fail and leave him in a catatonic state. He is then revived and turns up at the wedding. he reveals that Megabyte has previously stolen part of his code. Glitch Bob is able to return this code to Bob, which forces Megabyte to emerge -Megabyte had been disguised as Bob all along!

After a spectacular battle in the church, investigation reveals that Megabyte is now a Trojan Horse virus, able to shapeshift and effectively disguise himself as anyone. Megabyte eludes capture by using various aliases and a doppleganger and ultimately infiltrates the war room by taking on the form of Frisket. After suborning various personnel, including Dot’s father, and capturing Enzo, Megabyte gains “complete control” of the Principal Office. The movie ends with him proclaiming that viruses are predatory by nature; his last words, which are the final words of the films, are “Prepare yourselves for the hunt!

Now for the super exciting bit that I have only just found out about – ReBoot has just relaunched to complete the series as a web-comic on the official website!! AND there are THREE more films planned!!

And back on the subject of retro goodness… Does anyone else remember The Dreamstone?
