Cartoon Network's in-house cartoons are fantastic, so I have high hopes for this one. Link Everything old is new again on Cartoon Network. The net just announced plans to revive the ThunderCats franchise for a new series. The animation will be anime style, and marks Warner Bros. Animation's first anime series. Warner Bros. Animation is collaborating with Japan's Studio4C on the project, whose work you might have seen in The Animatrix, Batman Gotham Knight, and Halo Lengends. Warner Bros. says the cartoon will have a "dynamic visual style" and "realism," with our ThunderCats having "realistic cat-like characteristics inconceivable in previous incarnations." Because if there's one thing that we really need to see in a cartoon about humanoid aliens from the planet Thundera who must fight a mummified demon-priest, it's realism. The press release says the new series will focus on the "grand origin story" of Lion-O's ascension to the throne, which presumably places it before the '80s series in the timeline. ThunderCats is set to premiere on Cartoon Network sometime next year. Unless, of course, the whole thing falls apart like that ThunderCats movie a few years back.
i hope they don't tone down the gay it made the show awesome on multiple levels 1. sweet cartoon action 2. unintentionally hilarious 3. the sword is a boner
hmm... i know it's new series, but i'll only watch if they somehow do the old episode where liono takes on all the other thundercats one by one. that ep was badarse.
Wasn't there a really badass fan made movie trailer for Thundercats? I think they took clips of Brad Pitt, Huge Jackman, and Vin Diesel from the movies: Troy, Xmen, and Chronicles of Riddick... respectively. That trailer got me excited for daaays and I was even spreading it around to all my friends. I thought it was real
Late 80's/ early 90's were the best age for cartoons. I don't know what they have now days, but it can't compete with thundercats,gi joe, transformers, etc.
remember these guys <a href="http://photobucket.com/images/street%20sharks" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v649/AcidVomit/I%20MISS%20THE%2090s/250px-Streetsharks_135.jpg" border="0" alt="Street Sharks Pictures, Images and Photos"/></a>
This is going to look awesome. I'm hoping this is the preparation that will lead up to a movie and hopefully they will use the Avatar motion capture technique going all cgi.
Cartoon Network sucks when it comes to cartoons nowadays....the last great cartoon......> Justice League Unlimited
I remember that ... I applaud Bruce Timm for making and fighting for a cartoon that adults could watch. Sigh....
Tranzor Z. And there were those episodes with that female robot whose boobs were actually missles. Can't remember her name. Anywa, I'm excited about this. Remember that anima-style GI Joe that was on a year or so ago....it was gritty and a bunch of people actually died. Do that with this reincarnated ThunderCats. At least the 'gritty' part. And no Snarf. Snarf friggin' ruined that show for me. Even as a fourth-grader or however old I was.
