Fantastic ’80s cartoon ThunderCats is getting a reboot, but it looks a bit weird

Thundah, thundah, THUNDAH-THUNDA!

Ahem. If you grew up on a diet of Saturday morning cartoons and sugar-soaked cereal, you can probably triumphantly hum and sing the ThunderCats theme music to this day. And if that's the case, we commend you, for that intro is glorious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcGNqrAtsgg Clip via leopard9751 So great. Reboots are happening quite a lot lately, what with the likes of She-Ra and Magnum P.I. officially getting fresh coats of paint, and now you can add the crew of Lion-O, Tygra, Panthro, Cheetara, Snarf and the terrifying Mumm-Ra to the mix. That's right, ThunderCats is back. It just looks a lot different. Let's remind ourselves of Lion-O in his original badass form... And now for the new version... You versus the heroic anthropomorphic cat-man she told you not to worry about. ThunderCats Roar is coming to Cartoon Network, and the producers are promising a mix of comedy - hence the wacky new visual approach above - and all of that beloved crazy action that gave the show its charm back in the '80s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afaithTQSaI Clip via Warner Bros. TV This isn't the first time that Carton Network have tried to resurrect the franchise, having previously given it a go back in 2011, to mixed results. ThunderCats version 3.0 arrives in 2019, and is an all-American production, moving on from the original incarnation's excellent Japanese animation. For now, it's probably worth binging on those early episodes for that sweet, sweet nostalgia fix.
