Unfortunatly no. Probably won't find any info for a while. The series premiers in 2011.

Was kinda hoping some kind of info (Other than Lion-O from the original voicing his father in the new show) would leak out, or something. I really am Interested in seeing the designs.

I constantly check for new news regarding the series. As soon as something pops up you'll be seeing it here.

It'll probably air on Teletoon unless it airs on Cartoon Network in canada.

Looking about for various news I have discovered that Matthew Mercer has been cast as Tygra....

Also Lion-O and Tygra are apperantly now brothers according to Larry Kenny (original voice of Lion-O, now voice of King Claudus) in a podcast interview (even HE was shocked by the revelation that Lion-O and Tygra are brothers).

You can hear the podcast here: http://raffertymillsconnection.podbe...-larry-kenney/

You know, I listened to that awhile back and it had completely slipped my mind. I'm rather puzzled by the Lion-O, Tygra relationship. I'm sure it will be fine it's just kinda confusing. I really wish some character designs would get leaked to us! Is this not going to air until the end of 2011 or the beginning or no idea what so ever?

It's Cartoon Network. It'll air for 3 eps, go on hiatus for months, and then return.

[GK Punk]

Yeah that sounds about right.

I guess this is a poster or something but this was taken at the London Toy Fair. Our first look at the new Thundercats toon. Lion-O, Tygra, Cheetara, and Panthro (good lord he's huge). They look too human to me.

'Bout damn time... They look even more anime-inspired than the originals. Not a bad thing... At least they're retaining some of the essence of its predecessor.

Here's a new image. The style is very anime inspired.



Here's the Synopsis courtesy of collider.com

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.

Oh wait...that says Mortality....I read it first as morality. *L*

[gobo]

Still not sure how I feel about Tygra having a gun.

[GK Punk]

And where are the Twins!?

[Candy Kappa]

Where's Snarf!

with the anime-fication it's fun seeing Lion-O's hair is less impressive then the original counterpart's hairdo

Coming later in the series, maybe? Since this is looking like the same formula as 2K2 He-Man (which was the best He-Man EVAR!, IMO), I think we'll see other classic characters before too long. Hopefully, CN's learned its lesson, and knows to stray from the forthcoming "Lion-O vs the Dogguys" arc.
