Before Toy Story, there was ReBoot—the first fully computer-animated TV show. Thought lost to time and decay, we partnered with the Reboot Rewind team and Kioxia to bring the original, uncompressed masters back to life. Join us as we try to fix the incredibly rare, $300k D1 tape deck needed for preservation!
This video wouldn’t have been possible without the ReBoot Rewind team, Disappearing Inc, and Mainframe Studios. You can learn more about them at:

Deals for Days. Big home savings are happening now.
i can't tell you the last time I saw that many big decks
Mark either needs his own channel, or to come to LTT part time restoring retro tech for the channel!
I remember seeing this back in the 90’s in the uk. Would love to watch the entire series
Linux helped with his tiny raccoon like fingers
This was shown in Scotland. I loved it! I even had some of those wee figures!
i’m confused. reboot has been on prime for a while and i own a dvd that doesn’t seem at all bootleg
I remember watching this just finishing high school had just bought my first pc a Pentium 75 with 16megs of ram and this show was awesome, so good for this dedicated team of people plus Linus and Kioxia for preserving a peice of digital history.
I'm an American that grew up watching Reboot. Andrea and Dot were my favorite characters. Every time I play a game that lets me name a dog, I ALWAYS name it Friskett. 💕💖💕
I was low key expecting Techmoan to show up with a whole rack of functional obscure obsolete hardware to save the day.
Not enough comments talking about the series. It was awesome! They aired it in Poland and I enjoyed the shit out of it as a kid! Reboot! taptap
10/10 video! Love that y’all are helping the nerd community!
IIRC one of the reasons why they're trying to get another machine up and running even though that was the last tape of ReBoot they needed to process is there are apparently some other shows that might get the same kind of care
I hope that once this project is finished all the material and knowlage can be handed off to the next team of fans who are having the same problem.
I salute you, Grand wizards of the data stream.
Reboot was on Australian TV. I loved it!
I'm from Russia and watched Reboot as a kid. This show was awesome and now I want to rewatch it.
Holy shit its my childhood !!! How did I not know about this remaster attempt
I watched this from Virginia in 1994.
I''m having a fever dream rn, you guys released this video like months ago didn't you?
Hire that guy, his voice is amazing
@OverlySarcasticProductions
Okay, now I feel old. We used to watch the series on TV back then in the office.
It aired right when we were performing maintenance on our OS/2 and Netware servers.
The Netherlands reporting in: we definitely had this show.
Watched Reboot on South African television in my earlier years.
Still watch reboot on tubi and sometimes on youtube, think it's tokyoshout that has 24/7 livestream of reboot.
I watched it when it came out as a kid, great show. Tony Jay was great in it. His voice was always epic. rip
I remember wathing reboot as a kid in South Africa 30 plus years ago, really was a great show
So happy you made this happen! This was my favorite show when I was a kid.
ReBoot aired in the UK what i feel must have been a year or two after it's original run in Canada and i LOVED it, i had toys, i'm pretty sure i had VHS at some point. This makes me so happy! i can't wait to recollect it and show my kid 🙂
I remember liking that show when I was a kid. Might have to nostalgia watch the rerelease.
It was on after dragon ball z for a while on toonami
im dutch and i know about reboot! omfg i love that i am familiar witht his little slice of history
This is just amazing!! I am glad to see ReBoot getting the love AND respect it deserved. Such an important piece of tech history 😍😍
This was an absolutely fantastic video, so cool of you guys to help out and bring light to this project, this is what tech is all about
I’m from Ukraine and I loved watching it before or after school on TV. Then, I was not able to find it at all and thought of it as another Mandela effect instance 🤣🙈
Let me tell you, those of us who lived in Catalonia saw it in a national tv channel. I still remember it fondly and hearing you talk about it in the wan show made me happy.
lovely video! great job! I wish more people looked into dying technologies.
Damn, Mark has such a great voice.
Maybe I'd never be interested in actually watching the series. Maybe.
But seeing how it is rescued and kept available before the tapes decay? Oh yes.
@17:05 Its real live Lord Farquad! Amazing!
Shieeet i grew up with this animated cartoon in Romania back in 1998 though i didn't knew about the name also transformers (animals) was also same quality as this one. I love old tech
so neat seeing this old equipment being saved all to preserve history. And German engineering in the 1990s was peak engineering. everything was twice as sturdy as it needed to be. I have a Heidelberg Tango, a 250kg beast that uses photo multiplier tubes and a ggiant acrylic drum spinning at 1800rpm to scan film at 11,000DPI. Sure it's used car money, but you're hard pressed to get better results without approaching 6 figures. iirc correctly brand new this thing was north of half a million, in 1998…now my dumb-ass owns it
I used to watch it in the UK. Yeah I'm old
Holy shit! I remember watching Reboot as a kid all the way in Singapore! I never knew it was a Canadian production!! You would never have expected that show to have transcended oceans to another continent!
