from the never-give-up-hope dept.

Since its cancellation in 2003, science fiction television series Firefly has achieved a powerful cult status. Interest from the show's loyal fanbase has helped launch a feature film and comic books as means of continuing the series. Fans express continued interest in a series revival, although 13 years out that looks increasingly unlikely.

Animator Stephen Byrne offers a glimpse of what could be: a short teaser trailer for an animated Firefly . There's no dialogue, but all the characters are there doing many of the things you would expect and hope for. Could this lead to an animated Firefly revival? Or is it too late?

Personally, I'd be more likely to shell out for yet another exclusive streaming service for this than for the new Star Trek series...

    Me too.
    Look, the actors made that show. (Even the bad actors were good in that production.
    (Ok the writing wasn't bad either).
    Not sure you can slip some animated people into a video and recreate the magic. Its never worked for me.

    What if... they get the original cast to do the voice acting?

    One of the things I prefer about Japanese anime is often the voice actors (original) will be in the same studio at the same time, interacting with each other which is great for group chemistry.

    Most (all?) english dubs record voice actors in isolation, which kill group chemistry.
