The Raccoons (2019 reboot)

[Ryan]

Get ready to return to the Evergreen Forest! The 1980s worldwide hit, The Raccoons, is back and destined to attract a brand new fan base while hitting the happy nostalgia button of the original audience. And the familiar faces are back! Led by the enthusiastic, adventure-seeking Bert Raccoon, join aardvark best-friend Cedric and racoon pals Ralph and Melissa as they navigate Bert’s carefree attitude, all the while staying on-top of the scheming tycoon, aardvark business man, Cyril Sneer.

The revived series will be produced by Ottawa's Big Jump Entertainment. It will be distributed by Jetpack Distribution. It's in development, and it set to air next year.

Wow. I didn't see that coming at all. Good for them. Hope they'll still have awesome songs.

I’ve heard rumors about this coming back. I remember watching this show but barely anything on what it was actually about.
Absolutely LOVE the show’s ending song, though.

I only know of the original from “Worst Cartoon Ever!” lists. The clips looked really bad.

This was...unexpected, especially since the original show is not currently available on DVD (that I know of). Also, I'm not one to judge a book by its cover, but a design style like that has been known to indicate a show that's mainly a comedy. I don't know that much about the original show, but I do know that the original wasn't just a comedy. I'm just saying, but I'm hoping this will be "The Raccoons", and not "My Little Raccoons: Friendship is Magic".

Also, here's some random trivia: the "Evergreen Forest" is also a location on Planet Eternia in (He-Man and the) Masters of the Universe, which predates the original Raccoons series.

Everything is getting a reboot, the question is what is not getting a reboot.

Even I watched The Raccoons, though I never really liked it, let's see how this will turn out.

The Raccoons getting a reboot, awesome, it's got great new character designs, The Raccoons was my favorite great classic cartoon in my childhood years, both Burt/Ralph/Melissa, Schaeffer, Cedric, Sophia, Cyril Sneer, and The Three Pigs were great classic characters, while both Melissa Raccoon, Sophia, and Lisa Raccoon were my favorite best cute classic female characters and my crushes, and the songs/ending song were so awesome/catchy.I'll enjoy The Raccoons reboot, my next favorite best classic cartoon reboot.

Interesting. And not bad. Why not. Might be good. TeleToon?

Would like to see if CBC (The network of the original series aired) and Radio-Canada to pick it up soon. That is just my guess.

And I'd like to see Disney Channel pick this up in the U.S.A., (ALSO like the original)

Oh, this is something I didn't expect.

Compared to the reboots weve had lately like for example cgi garfield & the gardian code this feels more keeping true to the original

Might I add an suggestion, how about a business rival for Cyril. Someone to be the Cogswell to Cyril's Spacely, whenever they want to make Cyril more sympathetic, give us someone worse.

I think Cyril did have 2 business rivals back in the original show, an alligator named Knox and an eagle named Milton Midas. Knox was not that bad, but Midas became the most unsympathetic villain in the show, doing stuff like dumping toxic waste in public ponds.

There was also another rivla named Mammoth who appeared less often in the last seasons of the Raccoons. If the original series had got 2 or 3 more seasons, we could wonder if Milton Midas would had been a more important character?
