In preparation for the release of ReBoot: The Guardian Code, Shout! Factory TV will be running a 24-hour stream of the original ReBoot series on the streaming platform Twitch. ReBoot is often hailed as the first completely computer-animated TV series and was built around the growing computer craze of the 90s. The show's unique setting, inside a computer, allowed viewers to engage with the emerging tech in a entertaining way. The show has since become a cult classic among tech enthusiasts and is currently available on VOD at Shout! Factory TV.
The Twitch stream of the original ReBoot series is set to begin on March 28th 2018 and will show all the episodes in the series. In addition to the 47 episodes in the series, the marathon will also include a making-of mini-documentary and a retrospective with co-creator Gavin Blair.
