Gerry Anderson's puppets go CGI in this cursed 5-minute time capsule nobody asked for.
In 1999, Anderson supervised the production of a computer-animated test film, Captain Scarlet and the Return of the Mysterons, to explore the possibility of updating some of his 1960s puppet series for a 21st-century audience.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Gerry Anderson's first CGI experiment; he reportedly found the results 'disappointing' and abandoned plans for a full series.
The short now exists as a bizarre artifact of late-90s Britain's desperate scramble to modernize its cultural icons—see also: the 1998 Godzilla and Jar-Jar Binks.
