I don't have the words to express how happy but also how silly writing that title made me. Anyway, let's check out the original episode one vs the reboot and see what we think.
So they both open with a dialogue about the earth and animals. Original lingers too long on the globe and the images it shows are beautiful... but stills. Props to the new one for showing off their animation budget and having the animals actually be animated. It's hard NOT to love animals.. but you feel more attached to ones you see moving and thriving compared to static pictures in a book in my opinion.
Now apart from the hullabaloo about the new outfits and the singers, the next biggest piece of news I heard about the reboot was the stark difference in the reported numbers of endangered animals.
So here we go:
Original claims: 2500 species on brink of extinction
Reboot claims: 15,000 are in grave danger of extinction
That's twenty years for you. Hot damn that sucks.
