Originally aired on Sept 10, 1994, The Tearing is the very first episode of the classic series, ReBoot! Venture back to Mainframe with Bob, Dot, Enzo and you...
Holy shit this is a blast from the past. This show was my jam as a kid. The animation has aged horribly, but I’d be so down to watch the whole series again.
I kinda feel like the remaster makes the animation look worse, or just highlights how primitive it was. Maybe the lower resolution etc of the original subconsciously lowers my expectations.
I see it very differently, although it looks primitive, the added detail really emphasizes just how much effort this was considering it was made in the early '90s.
Yeah, even Toy Story 1 animation is dated, which is feature-quality, not TV, and it came out after Reboot.
I admire the historic technical feat. For example, they didn’t have inverse kinematics back then, meaning they couldn’t plant the character’s feet on the ground or hands on a surface and move the body without the limbs moving as well. They’d have to repose the hands and feet to line up. It’s why so many shots don’t show their feet unless they’re standing still and why the boy (enzo?) is always diving into the shot.
The ps1 game was horrible if I can recall from my kid brain correctly. I had forgotten what this series was called for YEARS, and it bugged me so much. I’m glad that’s finally off of my chest.

And on a CRT screen
