The Code Lyoko Evolution Thread!

[desincarnation offline]

Looks like it's decided, then. Live action and 3D.

[Taelia offline]

I will pass judgement until I see some stills or something.

A couple of news articles: http://kidscreen.com/2011/06/09/moonsco ... ode-lyoko/
http://www.worldscreen.com/articles/display/30163

Not too much that's interesting, but I found it nice that this news is becoming noticed by other websites. Also, it does seem to confirm that it is indeed live action/animation.

Also, Kabillion's seemed to make note of Season 5 on their front page

let us all cooperate to protes tlive-action on facebook and other ways to contact the owners.

[ArgentDandelion offline]

You misspelled "protest."

You may have better luck elsewhere. The folk of Lyoko Freak are...well, they seem to like to sit back and watch, not participate in any important fan matters. You might even annoy them here when you advocate it.

Also, the plan (assuming you are from the same community I am from that is pertinent to the matter of making Season Five purely animated) is not to protest. Protesting is uncivil. What we plan to do is politely ask them. Even if you are not from the same community, I advise you that you still be as polite as possible when addressing the creators.

It's clear they've already committed to the idea of doing a hybrid live-action/animation series, given the press releases. No amount of asking/demanding/whathaveyou is going to make them go back on that now.

In addition, the company is developing a MMORPG in collaboration with CJ Internet. The gaming experience will include full 3D, real role-playing universe and a full combat system.

I love how they're advertising the fact that their MMORPG will:

1) Be massively multiplayer

2) Have roleplaying elements

3) And be a game

As for the 5th season...I am going to withold judgement until I see some stills or something. It could be cool...

[Saphire-089 offline]

I don't think I'm going to watch this. It just doesn't seem right that they're going to suddenly use live action after 4 seasons of animation.

Sorry if this post offends anyone.

[Tekirai offline]

I was never a fan of live-action so I probably won't watch this either

maybe

I might see the FIRST episode and if it repulses me enough I won't watch any more of it. I would only want to be around for the funny character relationships because I am single-minded.

Me neither. It disgusts me that they're doing it, stills or no stills, pilot or no pilot. David and the others are still quite capable of voicing their characters.

That is assuming they don't have other contracts or obligations by this point.

Still, I'm setting my expectations pretty low for this. Don't wanna build up for something that in all likelihood will suck (though I will be very pleasantly surprised if it doesn't).

[Vodka's Vengeance offline]

I'll definitely watch this. I mean, it's still gonna be Code Lyoko. But please God, why oh why do they have to put in live-action? That just seems stupid and out of place, especially after four whole seasons of pure animation. I'm crossing my fingers.

[Taelia offline]

Me too. But I still have my doubts.

[TheTsunamix offline]

Has anyone told Teebs or Mew about this yet? I just find it odd that they haven't said anything or given their thoughts since Evolution was first announced.

[Mewberries151]

I don't think we need to be told. We can follow the threads just fine. But thanks for the thought. ^^


At any rate, I'm reserving any comment until there's more evidence that this is actually and truly going to happen. Production stills, interviews, advertisements, stuff like that. There's been too many false starts (pun intended) with continuing CL into a 5th season or whatever that I'm not entirely convinced this won't be yet another one.

To be quite frank, I'm still skeptical of the whole thing actually happening. >_>

Although I understand everyone's reasons for being skeptical, I think that the announcement on the website, as well as the news articles I posted on the previous page of the topic, is proof enough.

That's proof that they're considering producing it, not that it'll actually going to get made. Tons of tv shows, especially those for children enter the production pipeline but end up not happening for one reason or the other. It's the way the business works.

When I have proof positive that this is actually in production and will be distributed in a form I can actually view, then I'll give it further thought. I'm not going to go off some simple press releases, particularly when we've had press releases before that amounted to, well...sadly nothing.

It's a fool me once, fool me twice, sort of scenario, honestly.

[Taelia offline]

I have to agree with Mew. Although I despise live action shows based off of animation, I've a feeling this won't be produced.

Three words: Global economic crisis.

Yeah, that's what we are talking about. Sorry, you're a bit late.

[desincarnation offline]

Aaa, and for a second I thought something really was updated. fake hopes D;

I guess next news will appear after silly season is over.

[TheTsunamix offline]

More news from the DiLorenzo. First in regard to US airing/production progress.



And about the airing rights/fans reactions to live action.



I know it doesn't mean much, but I want to keep this topic alive with as much updates as possible, regardless of where they're from.

[AmericanLyokoTeam offline]

'can not elaborate on' AKA several reasons the old fans won't like or care about. For example, it's cheaper to produce than traditional animation, and you can maybe get stars to reuse in future cheap live action productions.

I would have also included they were angling to fit into CN's new less-cartoon approach, but that actually died pretty quickly, and it looks like CN is not taking the bait here anyway.

I'm skeptical they have the market to make an English dub release for this ever work, even if the original French version gets made. VOD and direct to DVD do not bring in revenue like a good TV network down payment.

This is one of the reasons I just can't watch CN anymore-the less-cartoon approach. It's Cartoon Network, for Chrissakes! Having a less-cartoon approach to a channel called Cartoon Network is both an oxymoron and completely stupid. It's like how the Sci Fi Channel (oh, I'm sorry, I mean Syfy Channel) has almost no sci fi on it anymore. It's just wrestling and reality shows, really. The only reason I still watch it is because I like Ghost Hunters.
