David del Real ___Thundercats 2011___---The Thundercats Remake!!!---It was the middle 1980´s when kids around the world went...----"THUNDER....THUNDER....THUNDER....THUNDERCATSSS H000000..."----for the first time during the recess at school, Two decades and a half later, an interesting remake featuring many of the original elements but adding new interesting characteristics to the plot arrived to the screens and even when it was not as successful as its predecessor, it granted us some episodes that will remain jewels to the cartoon enthusiasts of all ages. Either if we are talking about the original 80´s version or the 2011 remake, the Thundercats are an important part of our pop culture and a very rich set of stories that takes us from Eastern tales to the Ancient Egyptian Culture and from the Outer Space to faraway dimensions.David del Real. 2018.

thundercatslair-org This was a truly epic remake of the 1980s megahit, ThunderCats. Was number one in its timeslot among the coveted 18-34 year old demographic.The show respected the source material yet brought its own personality and updated the content for a modern audience. There was a much more plot driven focus here with long story arcs that carried a lot of weight.The creative team behind the show made the destruction of Thundera a much more personal, visceral event. Rather than emulate the main device of the original series, where Lion-O wakes up in the body of a man and the mind of a child, this series explores the sudden responsibility thrown on the teenage Lion-O and the loss of his home city and Father Claudus (voiced by the original series voice actor, Larry Kenney). There is a sibling rivalry between Lion-O and Tygra that carries over into their relationships with Cheetara. Mumm-Ra is cast as much more powerful villain and heads roll!Cartoon Network made a big mistake cancelling this show.

David Ermold The other characters and creatures of Third Earth are coming. in the Thundercats fourms, there is a review with one of the animators discussing how he redesigned Jackalman from elements of the original series.The writing and animation is clearly the best of any reboot of a series that I have seen. I just hope Cartoon Network doesn't start worrying about production costs and decide to cheapen it or cut it altogether for financial reasons. Cartoon Network NEEDS to keep a few top name series on their schedule. They killed off He-man, Transformers (My favorite being Beast Wars), and they only seem to be able to handle a single series or two of a popular third party show before they kill it with some in house material nobody really wants to watch.Enjoy it while it lasts because Cartoon Network is really only about the numbers, so you might want to try to get people to watch.

koriandr_star I remember seeing the original series whilst young and young enough to have a memory of everyone having the thundercats bag, the lunch boxes, the toy swords and if it was more fun to watch then He-Man. Thundercats was big and whilst not new in regards to formula it was a different take on the series given it barely included any humans (with exception to Mumm-Ra who i think was human) with striking character designs and a cool sword chant Thundercats was a shining example of a cartoon made marketable. Looking at Thundercats (185) via youtube and DVD's you see how dated it has become, the writing unbearable sometimes but still the masculine design of Lion-O, Mumm-Ra and the ancient spirits of evil servant 'Pyron' Both have good designs that could be tuned into any show today.Nonetheless the idea to make a remake was based on the idea that at the core there was a lot the original show could have offered still and this is what the remake does. It goes further much further into detail.Thundera is now a Kingdom but the cats have lost the moral good to become more muddled, there is genuine rivalry, even dislike between lion-O and Tygra, Lion-O's father prides on posture and is essentially all pride. Other characters have been polished up quite well including the Lizards who are now a race with a strong background.And cheetah, er wow, she's not bad looking (I'm I confessing to furry here?!)The voice acting is strong as is the flow of animation. The show reinvents itself whilst being clever with its source material, the writing is very good also.This series has a great start and will surely have a great run as well. I can see kids who were my age when I first saw the original series be taken in by this as well.All together now. THUNDERCATS! HO!
