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...

Kinda a CAD Southpark. But I guess you just let the animation cue your imagination. Just one step over "War of the Worlds" where it was all just audio and one's imagination.
Maybe those super old radio shows ( even before my time ) weren't all that bad compared to what we have today.
The upside is that kind of animation is probably cheaper to produce. Every dollar not paid to an animator is another dollar in bonus money.
I am sure this is done a helluva lot cheaper than "Snow White", one of Disney's top shows, despite computer assistance... the animation quality of what I saw reminded me more of "Steamboat Willie".
