Dear Mr Solomon, I'm very sorry you didn't like the ReBoot DVD, luckily for us you seem to be in the minority. I thought I'd take this opportunity to warn you that we are currently producing ReBoot Season IV. You should avoid watching it, I'm afraid our "heavy-hands" are at work again. And you never know, there may even be a "Charles Solomon Binome" featured!

"Stay Frosty"

P.S. By the way NO motion capture was used in any of the 3 seasons of ReBoot, please check your facts before your next review.

WOW! This is a stellar disc! You've never seen Reboot until you see it with the crystal clarity of DVD. The colors, the details never looked so amazing! Even if you've seen it on TV, Reboot is definately one DVD to own. Lots of neat little extras like animation tests and concept drawings make this disc a must buy. I only wish it had closed captioning. Check out the trailer section for a preview of War Planets/Shadow Raiders coming soon to DVD too! The only bad news about this series is that another company hold the rights to seasons 1 & 2, so we may never see the entire Reboot series on DVD. I hope other Mainframe series like Weird-Oh's, Beast Wars and Beast Machines soon follow! My fingers are crossed!

The editor of this review is clearly an angry old man with no appreciation for a fun, exciting cartoon. These take place at the beginning of season three, after the web has invaded mainframe. The James Bond-style of the Firewall opening is great, as is the episode itself. "Game Over" is the definately one of the best pre-net episodes in the series. The only thing that upsets me is that there is no "volume 0" with the episodes for season one ("Opening Sequence", "Racing the Clock", "Medusa Bug", "The TIFF", and "Talent Night") or season two ("Infected", "Painted Windows", "AndrAI", "Nullzilla", "Gigabyte", "Trust No One", and "Web World Wars"). However, this DVD gets my thumbs up!

I am a HUGE Reboot fan. It was a landbreaking series in digital animation. The characters were all well developed and the stories were well written. I was sad to see it get canceled and only recently learned that it had gone on to cable t.v. So I jumped at the chance to buy the entire series. I was so excited! I am sooooo disappointed that Volume One is NOT Season One. It is difficult for me to share it with others, as they have no background. Some of it is hard for me to understand too, since Bob was alive and kicking when I last saw the show.

For all the fans of this awesome series -- I ask the producers to please release Seasons 1 & 2, so our collections will be complete. This is animation history.

With the departure of the censors, ReBoot defied the odds, and became even better. Without spoiling anything, I will simply state that the characters have to come to grips with some very hard times, and some losses of hope in light of a terribly evil individual, Megabyte. The first four episodes of Season 3 (To Mend and Defend, Between a Raccoon and a Hard Place, Firewall, and Game Over) detail young Enzo's emergency promotion to Guardian of Mainframe, and the responsibility that comes with it. At the same time, Megabyte uses every manipulative trick in the book to make the public hate Enzo. It begins in tragedy and ends in tragedy.

It was about time this Computer-Animated show made it to DVD. Now all we need is for the first two seasons to follow suit.

My kids (8 and 10) love this animated cartoon as much as I do! The story line is exciting and the humor, gags, one-liners and cultural references keep it interesting for adults as well as children. We especially enjoy the computer references. The computer animation is still better than any of the animation you see in most cartoons on TV today.

I'm very glad to see that other episodes are now available on DVD. We're just hoping they'll bring back the series to TV or even the movies! WE WANT MORE ReBOOT!!!

This DVD is the best gift I have ever gotten, I got really bored when Reboot stopped being on Cartoon Network because it was replaced by Ronin Warriors. I think any Reboot fan would agree this is a must have along with the rest of Season III.

While I'm a great fan of reboot, my second favorite show growing up (transformers was my first), this is outrageous, to charge this sort of price for four or five episodes, and they didn't even release season 1 or 2, I would gladly pay the price there asking if it was the full season, but this isn't worth it.

CGI series ever on television. Compelling characters, great stories and breathtaking animation make ReBoot one of the finest shows ever to grace tv. These DVDs are must-own items for any fan of animation, certainly for any fan of ReBoot. I only wish seasons 1, 2 and 4 would also come out on DVD. And should the stars align correctly, maybe even a fifth season! Let's hope. We all know the adventure continues...

It is a real shame that seasons 1 and 2 (the first half) were soooo lousy. But these season 3 (and 2nd half of season 2) episodes were excellent. I've heard that they intentionally "dummied-down" the seasons 1 and 2 so that they could air them in America without offending anybody or ticking off the censors. This wouldn't surprise me condisdering how American TV has managed to ruin some of the best shows--DBZ and Beast Wars (Beast Machines--the American version--was awefull!)

Anyway, when REboot didn't sell in America the Canadian animators were freed the bonds put on them and really cut loose! The humour episodes were the best, they mocked everything from james bond (best reboot ep. EVER) to the Prisoner, to Sailor Moon, to Xena and Hercules. Definitly check this series out!

THE FIREWALL EPISODE, A JAMES BOND SPOOF, REALLY MUST BE SEEN TO BE BELIEVED
