"ReBoot" returns

“ReBoot” was a pioneer in computer animation series, debuting in 1994 — the year before “Toy Story” first brought the technique to the big screen — and earning an enthusiastic fan base in its run on ABC, YTV and Cartoon Network.
Rainmaker Studios, the Canadian VFX and animation house that evolved out of original “RBoot” creators Mainframe, is looking to bring it back as a feature film trilogy — and has asked the fans for help along the way.
The studio has teamed with Zeros 2 Heroes, a new social media company that is hosting a competition on its webcomics site in which five fan pitches for the relaunch have been chosen to be developed in conjunction with Rainmaker producers. Pitches will begin appearing today, with the vote for the winning pitch set to take place a month later. The winning pitch will be produced as a webcomic based on the winning idea.
At the end of the process, development on the film trilogy will begin in earnest, and Rainmaker plans to make the connection with “ReBoot” fans established in this contest a big part of that.
