That compilation is basically my childhood in 30 minutes; only one of those cartoons is one that I didn't watch as a kid.
Of them, I'd say that Batman Beyond and Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century are the most obviously late-90s, and Samurai Pizza Cats is probably the least sensical. Even the name doesn't really make any sense. I have to say, I much preferred the second incarnation of Sonic to the others. Particularly the whole thing with his uncle being trapped in a robot body.

If it had Knightmare, Aquila, Finders Keepers, Fun House etc on, then I'd agree with you.

QUOTE (GundamGuy_UK @ May 21 2008, 08:24 PM) STOP THE PRESS! What's this?! Is ReBoot coming back?! Intro, for those of you who didn't watch this awesome 90's CGI cartoon. I have every episode on my computer but haven't watched them yet. The first series seemed a lot more of a kids show than I remembered, I guess it only became more adult as the show progressed. |

I think it was aimed at a younger audience. |

I seem to remember it also being aimed at an older audience, with stuff going over the kiddies heads and references to things like Fargo, Evil Dead and The Prisoner. |

Really?? Are we still talking about reboot?... I guess I missed out there then. I also didn't like it cos they had blue/green faces & I thought it looked like it was copying Ulysses 31. |

Nostalgia really does act as a crapness filter sometimes doesn't it?
Yes, I know I'm as guilty as everyone else. |

I used to watch Re-boot when I got home from work, but I missed the last few. It was a referencing version of Tron, for a new generation. I'm sure I read something about this recently, possibly on the SFX web site, but I can't find the article now (I'll post a link if I do). |

I watched Reboot and never got any clever references except to Tron, and Tron wasn't so much a reference as a template. I guess I was one of those kids whose head's it went over.

QUOTE (Ade @ May 5 2008, 10:37 PM) The Holden were reet - that were bloody brilliant. It was brilliant but Holden needs to lay off the botox. We can't watch Rosellini's films in the UK. Shame cos I like the fact she is a bit mental. Hence she was great in 30 Rock. |
