big_teddy Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Does anyone know what ever happened to the thundercats movie they were making? Last I heard they will still going ahead with it.First off, it went from live action to cgi movie and second, it's been shelved. There's no word if it's ever going to happen.

lady_kurai Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 I hope that they don't ruin it either, and who knows what they'll remake next you never know they could redo conan. I know that they're making a new conan the barbarian movie so it's possible they could redo the cartoon series as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady_kurai Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Unfortunately I would imagine that they are going to change the story up, I don't want them too but that seems to be what they do with a lot of the remakes of older series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skeith12 Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Lol wut?I just finished watching the original series on a RETRO channel in my country XD.A remake of a timeless classic? It's about time! This is literaly the only 80s show that HASN'T gotten either a sequel/remake/new series. Not too happy about the new look tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ! Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 This is LONG overdue.I'm still a tad unsure about the designs, but I'm definitely looking forward to it.I'm also REALLY looking forward to Bandai's Classic Thundercats figures. These look great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PseudoSage Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Well, I did watch the old cartoon and it was alright. But to me it seemed to be in the same vain as all the other 80s boys cartoons, like He-Man or something. They all wore goofy leotards and ended each episode with a comic relief laughter moment (Gahaha! Oh that Snarf). Those types of shows just weren't appealing to me, even as a kid the stories of each episode had predictable plots which despite the overarching themes of single goal and quest it still felt completely episodic and I never got past Lion-Os ridiculous Ronald McDonald hair. Sometimes it was a fun ride, but those were the fight scenes where the bad-guys get beat up and it's super cool! It was the Justice League and Legion of Doom except with cats.Modern action cartoons have left the campy-ness behind since companies realize that it isn't just 5-year olds watching Saturday morning animated shows anymore and storytelling has improved (like Young Justice as opposed to the SuperFriends) . From the first episode (or first two, whatever) it is already setting up more interesting, if a tad archetypal, characters than the originals, a more cohesive setting that actually made sense given the characters (not some weird alien planet where shit just happens for plot convenience), logical themes with story arcs and story progression. None of that forced logic you were supposed to just roll with, like the stuff about "his space pod was cracked and he aged without dieing or being awake, but the rest were damaged too so he is just special like that just go with it" stuff. Not to say it's all perfect, it still falls into the failings/strengths of the predecessors, I'm just saying nostalgia may take things too far sometimes.I am so far excited for the show, I am digging the new character designs (even if they did make Lion-O a tad on the childish looking side, but then again that was supposed to be his character in the first place since in the original he was 12!) and the new Thundara. Mumm-Ra kinda put me off though as he and his cronies so far haven't departed too far from the original and seem to be staying true to the original, but it makes it jarring to see such a mix. The new style of the Thundercats with new, updated character models while Mumm-Ra is still stuck in old mummy-monkey-wizard guy territory without any real changes. Apparently the sun still hurts him, but maybe that will be played off well rather than "he's evil and magic, sunlight is good so it must burn" stuff.........I wonder if anybody read all this?

seirachan Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 LoL a new Thundercat series hahaha Like the ones they did in Speed Racer and etc. I hope they air it soon in TCN I want to see if this has new plot or simply a remake But according to your info, it will be an all new series so, chances are, we may see a brand new plot ^ I agree with Koby. They look more, how should I say it, like they've been to a parlor or something. But then again maybe the new ones are some sort of the relative/etc of the older ones. For everyone's info here is what Koby meant:oh dear god they are 10 times better now then they were before imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idl12 Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Gotta say I enjoyed this way more than the original, and I use to love the original thundercats every Sunday morning on my barely watchable antenna TV. Good to see Cartoon Network's finally getting some good shows again, finally something other than Clone Wars that has violence, death(though Bloodless) and an awesome art style and I found the story surprisingly less corny than I thought I would, that's a good sign. Also...Cheetara's breast!!!!! hhhhhngggghhhhhh!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space_Ghost Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 I saw a prototype version of the character designs about 2 years ago, and nearly coughed up blood. Lion-O was skinny, and really scraggly looking. But, at ComicCon this year, I finally caught the preview, and my soul was lifted high. The character designs look wonderful, the re-imagining of the story is very interesting, and I'm not a fan of animal people, (furries, etc) but if that Cheetara walked into my bedroom with nothing but a smile on, I'd Yiff. :-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VolvoKing Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 From what I understand the story takes place on there home planet before it was destroyed, so they are all younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space_Ghost Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 From what I understand the story takes place on there home planet before it was destroyed, so they are all younger.Yeah, this is the planet they are running from in the first opening of the Classic Thundercats. I think Young Lion-O growing into an adult is much better then the weird He Was A Child, Now He Is An Adult thing from the original. Stupid broken pods...

Libitinarius Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 I just wanted to comment, I hope this is the proper section. I have been watching the series since it debuted on cartoon network, and personally I have enjoyed it so far. I have seen the older Thundercats, I am liking this animation better then the original.

Pinkie Pie Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Man, I wasn't too interested in the original ThunderCats, but I thought I'd give this a shot anyway since my older brother was a massive ThunderCats fanboy. I can honestly say that I was pleasantly surprised. Now my little sister and I have watched every episode out so far *u* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
