Thunderbirds ReBoot 2015

I'm currently sat at home, watching this reboot of the old series. I'm not sure if this is a stand alone movie just to reboot the franchise to encorage toy sales to children or is the start of a new series for the thunderbirds.

The orginal series was animated by something called 'Supermarionation' which is not to be confused with the supermario game series by Nintendo (the artical informed me). This animation technique involved marionettes that were surspented and puppertied by animations using wire frames. The facial movements, such as mouth movement were controlled with magnetic that reacted to electric inpulses. Scale miniture figures were also used to shoot dramatic action scenes involving vercules. This 2015 short film is animated  with CGI-Animation (and part live action). I'm sat here next to my grandad who seems to be involved in the story, however he commented saying he was put off by the 'dead eyes' of the characters which I can only assume have been designed in this sort of 'doll' way to resemble their orginial puppet designs.

...So it's finished now and even if I was barely able to consintrate on it because my mother wanted to show me a video of a transgender woman beating up two men who were threating her because of 'cross dressing' I managed to make up my minds on this new reboot style. I was over all impressed with it, despite the fact most will instantly hate the reboot because puppets aren't involved, the storyline was quite good and entertaining; nothing like what I predicted would be a show dumbed down for young children only to sell toys.  I remember Thunderbirds being on when I was very young, back then I remember being afraid of the puppets because of how creepy they were but them being puppets entertained me better then any storyline. I was impressed by the enviroment around the story, the animated underwater scenes and outerspace pertically. But over all, this isn't something I'd rush out to buy a DVD of ,but in no way do I feel this is a heartless reboot that is only recking the orginial thunderbirds. It's clear the studio working on this project but alot of care into this project, but I think most can't let go of the orginial 'face' of thunderbirds which was 'Supermarionation'.

Also apparently this isn't just one movie, but one of three episodes that make up the first season of the new reboot series '' Thunderbirds are GO!''
