This could work...but only if they copy the original series.

But lets face it...using Puppets just isn't feasible.
Cost, logistics...CGI is simpler and faster these days.

The trick would be to make it look like the series.
Make CGI supermarionation.

Intel processors...are GO!

Maybe give the puppets smaller heads, better movements, etc
but don't try to "re-invent" the thing.
Make the exact same series with the same type of stories and images, but do it on a computer instead.

Its when they try to redesign and reinvent a show that it fails.
Because the old fans don't want to see something different.
And the new fans don't understand the connection and don't understand the limitations that are put on the story by the original.

I liked the Tbirds movie that came out a few years ago...I thought there were many good elements.
The failure was in targeting a new, young child audience who just didn't get it.

Had they dropped the teen storyline and focused on an Adult story for the old fans of Tbirds, it would have worked better...even with the updated storyline and technology.
