Let me tell you Mainframe geeks of a dream I had concerning your favourite animation studio.
So in my dream, Mainframe was depicted as a video store from the '90s selling all their shows on tape - ReBoot, Shadow Raiders, Beast Wars, Barbie, you name the show, it's for sale. I went into the store as a '90s twentysomething looking for a video to rent, and the store clerk gave me a copy of the entire first season of Max Steel, which although was made by Foundation Imaging, was distributed by Mainframe anyway.
But when I got home and put the tape in - GASP! Shock horror! The clerk had played a trick on me. Instead, he put in a tape of the CGI Action Man series. No way! How could he do this?
Angered and enraged, I ran as fast as lightning back to the store, only to find it had disappeared entirely! Like in those fairy tales where someone buys something at a weird store which disappears when they go back to find it. And then, the entire town crumbled into dust, and the pavement began to turn into an iceberg.
And before you know it, my anger had turned to pure, perfect peace, as I began swimming with whales, in an aesthetic environment similar to Fantasia's 'Pines Of Rome' - except all the whales aren't flying. They're back to swimming, and me? I was a natural member of the pod.
And I think this dream has inspired a story about the 2002 version of Orko: Orko & The Whales.
Did you guys ever have dreams like this?
