"ThunderCats Roar" @Cartoon Network in 2019

I can’t imagine the kids liking this shyt like how we liked the original. I could be wrong but I doubt it.


For the most part you are right. However the original ThunderCats targeted the 9-15 year olds while this new shyt is targeted to 3-7 years olds. I think that’s why people are upset.

Like my boy hated on the voltron Netflix show because he was mad at the changes but I told him this is a different version of voltron and he shouldn’t expect it to mirror the OG version. Also with all the changes it is still a good version of voltron and it’s still not targeted at 30 years olds.

This show (voltron) is targeted at male kids from like 11-17. So while you are correct it still doesn’t make this version of ThunderCats not look like trash even for a kid show. And flintstones kids was trash.

You hush your flintstone kids slander lol.

I’m just saying man at what point do we let go and not critique stuff not meant for us? You said 11-17 year olds. Cool I’m far removed from 17

Like I said you are right but it’s hard to shake that love for cartoons so I see both sides.

Yeah I have my love too but I’ve learned how to compartmentalize it. Like my turtles example, I’ll probably never not watch a turtles iteration but I’m also aware the show isn’t for me anymore and I gotta be cool with that. Whereas the new ducktales is perfect for me and I watch it on the regular

The ThunderCats are coming back!

EW can exclusively reveal that Warner Bros. Animation is bringing back the iconic cat-like aliens for new animated series called ThunderCats Roar, which will debut on Cartoon Network in 2019.

Check out an exclusive sneak peak at the show above.

The original ThunderCats show aired from 1985 and 1989, and followed the adventures of Lion-O, Cheetara, Panthro, Tygra, Snarf, and WilyKit and WilyKat, the refugees of the planet Thundera who end up on Third Earth. While ThunderCats Roar plans on staying true to the original’s premise and will feature tons of action, it will also lean into the inherent comedy of the world, too.

“I think the world that they built lends itself really well to comedy because of how silly and crazy and outlandish those ideas are and some of those settings are,” says producer Victor Courtright in the exclusive behind-the-scenes video above. “But at the same time, it wouldn’t be ThunderCats if it didn’t have super cool action elements because that’s what people came back to. It’s very much something that we want to lean on. So with the new show, we’re not walking away from the action in any bit. Every step we take towards comedy, we take two more towards really cool action scenes and explosions and lasers and actions effects.”

Here’s the official logline for the series: “Staying true to the premise of the original series, Lion-O and the ThunderCats — Tygra, Panthro, Cheetara, Wilykat, and Wilykit — barely escape the sudden destruction of their home world, Thundera, only to crash land on the mysterious and exotic planet of Third Earth. Lion-O, the newly appointed Lord of the ThunderCats, attempts to lead the team as they make this planet their new home. A bizarre host of creatures and villains stand in their way, including the evil Mumm-Ra, Third Earth’s wicked ruler who will let nothing, including the ThunderCats, stop his tyrannical reign over the planet.”

ThunderCats Roar stars Max Mittelman (Justice League Action) as Lion-O and Wilykat, Erica Lindbeck (DC Super Hero Girls) as Cheetara and Wilykit, Patrick Seitz (Justice League Action) as Tygra and Mumm-Ra, and Chris Jai Alex (Star Wars: Battlefront II) as Panthro.

Is "toxic masculinity" the reason animators make cartoons "cuddly" looking versus athletic and muscular? this shyt looks silly

true, look at avengers EMH vs Avegers assmeble, there was no need for disney to water that series down that much. you cant tell me kids would prefer assemble, I think what people are trying to say is, you dont have to water a show down to that length to appeal to kids. and just cause I am older it doesnt mean I cant tell the difference between a good kids show and whatever the this thundercats is about to be.. But again you are right and have to realize they arent creating these shows for us and we have to sit back and wait for young justice season 3 to get our fix
