The New Thundercats! Hooooo!

You remember this catch phrase “Thunder! Thunder! Thunder! Thundercats! Hooooooooooo!”. Any kid watching cartoons during the 80′s surely loved this cartoon series. It was one of a few that really made me want to watch cartoons. Those were the days. With a big thanks to DVDs, I was able to watch all the episodes until Mumm-Ra’s demise in the last episode.
And now Cartoon Network is developing a new Thundercats animated series. Rejoice Thundercats fans! For those who have no idea what they are, the Thundercats were aliens from the planet Thundera who just happened to look like beefcake heroes with whiskers and paws. Lion-O led Cheetara, Panthro, Tygra, WilyKit and Snarf. They battled Mumm-Ra on Third Earth with both magical and futuristic weapons. And they all learned something each week.
The new Thundercats series will feature them as all grown up. The idea is a more 21st-century-style look to the Thundercats, more of a gritty adaptation of anime than the basic colors of an ’80s afternoon cartoon show.
It will reveal the origins of Lion-O, his ascension to the throne and his battles with the forces of evil for the Stones of Power. They will still learn something each episode like loyalty, honor and morality. This new generation of Thundercats will be more feline than ever. Lion-O, Mumm-Ra, Panthro, Cheetara and the others will spring off the screen with realistic cat-like characteristics inconceivable in previous incarnations.
This ought to be good. It has been sometime since a good action packed cartoon series appeared. The remake of He-Man was very good. I loved it. I hope the new Thundercats will not disappoint!
