Thundercats 2011

Post by Tivia »

Surprised this hasn't been mentioned here yet.

Fridays on Cartoon Network 8:30 EST.
1 hour premier was friday, probably will need to torrent it.

Watched it.

Animation - Greatly improved Done by Studio 4 C
Voice acting - Just as good as the original.
Character development - Way better thus far, but to be fair that isn't hard to beat as there was basically no character development back in the 80s.
Soundtrack - Thus far Extremely good, waiting to hear the new themesong still.
Plot - Enough of the old to appease the old fans, while fresh enough to work.

I will be honest, I grew up with the thundercats. The original series was fucking terrible if I am truly honest about it. Thus far the new one is a massive improvement and I am looking forward to seeing more.

Holy crap! Studio 4c, is it a joint effort with an American studio or just them?

Going to have to look it up, hasn't shown up on NyaaTorrents or AnimeSuki :(

It is a Joint effort, 4c is doing all the art and animation though.

Glimpse into the new style - Yep that is the Original Voice actor for Lion-O voicing the King now.

I used to have one of the swords that had a really crappy light thing :rofl:

Wow pretty much every cartoon I grew up with has had a remake or movie or something. Think Disney should remake Chip & Dale: Rescue Rangers, best Disney cartoon ever!

Kit and Cat seem younger, maybe just smaller...

Also, I'm sure we all remember the old outtakes video (NFSW) :D
