Thundercats 2011

[GK Punk]

that's something I'd like to know. There has been a lot of speculation about when/if they get to third earth or not in this series.

[sdp]

Its pretty clear they are on Thunderra in the trailer and they will definitely be on Third Earth as well since they've mentioned it as the main setting in past interviews.

The original show built a fantastic universe, the problem is they never explained or explored it, and the new show will, so instead of just starting the first episode leaving Thunderra on a space ship, we'll see more of the planet and why it was destroyed. You can see Grune the Destroyer in the trailer next to Lion-O's father so he is still "good' in those scenes and a Thundercat, however the shot of the mutants as slaves with Grune on top means to me that he's been doing shady things that the other Thundercats don't know. This might explain why the mutants hate the Thundercats and now we know how (we knew why) he became evil. This show is going to be fantastic if it actually fleshes out the vague universe that was mostly untouched in the original show. Counting they're in Thunderra I hope we see Bengali, Lynx-O and the other Thundercats that eventually show up on Third Earth. I hope we see them in Season 2 as well.

Just a thought on the sword of Plun-darr.

Mumm-Ra having a sword would make more sense if isn't shiney. Unless this new toon does'nt have his reflection-phobia.

In the original cartoon it was a double flame sword. I'm wondering if it will be in this one too.

Dude!!! Will Friedel (Terry McGuinness in Batman Beyond) has been cast as Lion-O!! And Kevin Michael Richardson is Panthro!!

"I love Panthro, so to play him, yeah I'm very very happy," Richardson told MTV News. "The state of the art animation they have today is... That's exactly what it is — state of the art."

"The cast is fantastic," he said. "Will Friedle as Lion-O and some other people who I want to keep anonymous at the moment. It's up to the times, it's a lot cooler, it's going to move a little faster, and the special effects and the direction and the acting are just superb."

"I must tell you, I love the original, and if it ain't broke don't fix it," he said. "But from what I've worked on already, I'm very impressed."

Emmanuelle Chriqui has been cast as Cheetara. No clue who she is but she's done some voices in American Dad and Robot Chicken. She's also gonna be heard soon in Tron Uprising. Some might recognize her from Don't Mess With the Zohan.

Jim Meskimen has also been cast but no word yet on who he's voicing. However he was apperantly a character designer in the original series.

Anybody going to Wondercon??? If so there's gonna be a Thundercats panel on April 3rd!

1:00-1:45 p.m. • It's ThunderCon! ThunderCats Special Video Presentation and Cast/Producer Q&A --- ThunderCats Ho! The cats will be loose on Sunday as WonderCon hosts the first-ever panel for this all-new animated series produced by Warner Bros. Animation, coming soon to Cartoon Network. Based upon the iconic 1980s action classic, ThunderCats is the epic tale of Lion-O and his battle against evil in the quest for the fabled Stones of Power. Fans will feel the magic and hear the roar as the creative team unveils their vision for the show, debuts exclusive footage and answers questions about one of the most highly anticipated animated series of the year. Producers Michael Jelenic (Batman: The Brave and the Bold) and Ethan Spaulding (Avatar: The Last Airbender) are scheduled to attend, along with character designer Dan Norton and Larry Kenney, who provides the voice of Claudus in the new ThunderCats and was the original Lion-O in the 1980s version.

The only thing I know I've seen her in is The Crow: Wicked Prayer.

Yes, I actually watched that. I don't regret it, but the first one will always be the best.

I just had this hilarious thought: If Thunderian society was modeled after ancient Egyptian society, what do you think the chances are that the leaders kept pet apes as pets, and believed them to be the embodiment of the gods?

Seriously, I wouldn't doubt it if that's actually the role of Snarf in the show though. This would definately explain why he can't talk.

What a waste of her gorgeous on-screen presence.

New Thundercats trailer!! This aired this afternoon at Wonder Con!! Looks good!! Altho a bit strange to hear Lion-O's old voice come out of King Claudus. "For the pride!!"... Ok Simba!

This version of Thundercats will take place entirely on their home planet, Third Earth, with Thundera, the city, still intact. Eventually, Thundera will be destroyed, but instead of flying off-planet to space as in the original, the Thundercats will "journey into the wilds of the planet.

So instead of being a planet Thundera is now the capitol city.

Also, Clancy Brown has been cast as Grune the Destroyer and Robin Atkins Downes (Solaris in All-Star Superman, Baren Zemo in Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, Ack in How To Train Your Dragon) has been cast as Mumm Ra.
