There's Beast Wars and My Little Pony: FiM, which definitely, "continued the spirit of the original or surpassed it in a meaningful manner," but I'm guessing the list was largely personal preferences.With the ReBoot trailer out and fans... loving it. Thought I'd take a look and pick the 7 best animated series reboots. And not sure if mixed any glaringly obvious ones

Beast Wars started out as a reboot, with no intention to ever connect with G1 (because the showrunners were entirely unfamiliar with G1), but as soon as the pilot episode aired there was a hugely positive reaction from G1 fans on the internet, so the showrunners decided to do some homework and tossed the fans some Easter eggs, and the next thing they knew they had painted themselves into a corner and had merged the previous comic and cartoon continuities (showrunners: "We did what?") and now they were making the definitive sequel to G1.See I always thought of Beast Wars as more of a continuation then a reboot of the series, but I could be wrong.
And yeah never seen My Little Pony to compare.

yeah... was way to heavy handed with the message for me... (actually opened this thread to post about it myself) just wasn't a good episode (and I am actively trying to get people around me more involved) especially since it used not one but two tropes I don't like at allI don't know how many of you guys watch OK K.O., but they just had one of the most anti-gun episodes since Static Shock.
They even called up a Congresswoman at the end of the episode, who then proceeded to ban "skeleton remotes"(ie guns). I wish real life worked like that.
Hmm there have been rumors of Disney XD heading out to the fields a few years back when they announced the Guardians animated series...
I hope if they don't have original content, it goes back to a Toon Disney rerun channel with Disney afternoon and early 2000s series.

After helping Netflix enter the adult animation space with BoJack Horseman, that series' creator, Raphael Bob-Waksberg, and studio, Michael Eisner's Tornante Company, are doing the same for Amazon with Undone. Amazon Studios has given a straight-to-series order to Undone, starring Rosa Salazar (Maze Runner franchise), as its first adult animation show. It was co-created by Bob-Waksberg and BoJack Horseman writer-producer Kate Purdy who just won a WGA Award for her work on the Netflix animated comedy.
The Tornante-produced Undone is a half-hour animated dramedy that explores the elastic nature of reality through its central character, Alma, voiced by Salazar. After getting into a near fatal car accident, Alma discovers she has a new relationship with time and uses this ability to find out the truth about her father's death. Also cast in the series is Angelique Cabral (Life in Pieces) as Alma's younger sister.
Whatever happened to that DC superhero girls show from Lauren Faust?
Nah, I mean thisJust the handful of short-shorts made for DC Nation and then never seen again.
At least it got merch.
That could be any one that had him trying to trick the little Chickenhawk character (did he have a name?) into harassing the dog.Remind me which cartoon had Foghorn say '...spells D O G for Chicken'.

Infinity Train is at least a year out and CN is already making promotional videos for it.
since may 30th of last year steven universe has aired 8 episodes each of which were 15 minutes.... and won't return until apirl >.>Compared to everything else, MLP's release schedule now is crazy. They aired half of season 7, then they aired three half hour specials from the Equestria Girls spinoff, then they started releasing web shorts for Equestria Girls, then they finished season 7 (the theatrical movie premiered the same week as an episode premiere, which was a misstep), then they started a straight up web series for Equestria Girls (still ongoing), and they released another Equestria Girls TV special about a month ago. And they also have some actual pony related shorts (reusing existing footage but with new dialogue) every week now too. Right now, there's new Pony content of some kind every week.
Gravity Falls and DuckTales had some web shorts, but I can't think of any franchise that matches the sheer amount of content.
