Not the same without Rockapella.

Those guys still go around doing shows singing that song and probably get booked on the back of that songs fame. It was a great composition that couldn’t fit the essence of the show any better and they are talented.

Lol. Rockapella.

I like that the trailer includes a quote from the most likely people who were probably sitting around a room getting high: what if....Carmen San Diego was a thief that only stole from other thieves...dude, there's a show there, let's make it.

Agreed. Don't count out the late Lynne Thigpen as the Chief & Greg Lee as the host.

My son will probably like it. Which is probably the main point of the show. Parents remembering the old show and watching it with their kids who will prefer the new style and continue watching it after their parents get bored of the nostalgia aspect.

You guys are all just denying your inner child the guilty pleasure of seeing Carmen Sandiego turn face.

Man, what's up with this minimilist animation style that everyone is doing these days, it's terrible.

Also, the original was one of the coolest and educational shows ever.

And that intro, oh my.

If she hasn't shown such consideration in the past representation.

It seems they are going with the idea that she has been a thief her whole life, and reject that part of the canon as her being a detective gone rogue.



Just to note, I do remember the game shows as being favorites growing up (they had a Where in Time edition as well).

We don’t really know what backstory they’re going to go with yet.

She was always going to be made into some kind of hero for the cartoon.

My biggest complaint (which isn't a complaint, I wont watch and it and was never going to, I am not the demo) is just that it looks like the exact same animation they use for literally everything nowadays. It all looks the exact same.

I think I saw it on Twitter someone say that they turned Carmen Sandiego into a bootleg Kim Possible and yea, that about sums it up.

Loved both the old game show and the old PC game. I remember buying it at a garage sale up the street. Good ol' educational PC software. :thumbu:

In that cartoon they did establish that she was a former detective, and one of the best.

Technically, people remember the OUTRO the most. It's a common misconception with WITWICS. (I'm a Trekkie. Being pedantic and nitpicky is a prerequisite to joining.)

Not really for us but I'd imagine that kids if not enjoy then at least don't mind the look, and more importantly it's probably a lot cheaper for the studios to produce this style.
