OK… Nobody speak to me for the next 9 minutes!
Ok all my Section.80 babies, this is for us. If you weren’t excited about the 2011 revamp of the Thundercats franchise, please exit the site now.
We’ll wait.
For the rest of you guys, you can watch the first nine minutes of the premiere episode which will be hitting Cartoon Network screens soon.
*UPDATE* Video removed by request.
Synopsis: Roaring to life through WBA and Studio4°C’s use of the Japanese animated artistry of anime, “ThunderCats” characters Lion-O, Mumm-Ra, Panthro, Cheetara and others will spring off the screen with realistic cat-like characteristics inconceivable in previous incarnations.
The new “ThunderCats” will appeal to viewers who have loved the characters all their lives as well as young newcomers to the franchise. A sweeping tale combining swords and science and boasting ferocious battles with the highest of stakes, the grand origin story of Prince Lion-O’s ascension to the throne – and of those who would thwart his destiny at any cost – takes on epic dimensions in this sharp new telling. As the forces of good and evil battle each other in the quest for the fabled Stones of Power, Lion-O and his champions learn valuable lessons of loyalty, honor and mortality in every episode.
“ThunderCats” is executive produced by Sam Register (“Teen Titans,” “Ben 10,” “Batman: The Brave and the Bold”). Michael Jelenic (“Batman: The Brave and the Bold,” “Wonder Woman”) and Ethan Spaulding (“Avatar: The Last Airbender”) are the producers.
The new series will begin with an hour long premiere on Cartoon Network on July 29, 2011
