After watching this after so many years I really see how today's youth or adult generation that watches TODAY'S cartoons don't know a REAL GOOD cartoon when they see one.
definitely one of the baddest, most hard-core animated opens ever made!!!! superb, flowing flawless animation in that open, nothing today holds a candle to it!
OMG. I am a 33 year old man but after watching this I wanna go and buy all the DVD's as this reminds me so much of my childhood. My favourite cartoon from 80s.
The Thundercats Opening theme was OMG just amazing.. the energy, the action and as a child it used to give me goosebumps LOOOOL... You had to know when it was on TV coz there was no other intro like it!! The cartoon was brilliant!!
My kids watched a few episodes of these cartoons and they asked why dont they make stuff like this anymore the other stuff is garbage compared to this lol. Love it!
I like both the old and the new Thundercats, both have their strengths and weaknesses to them. To be honest it just depends on which version of the story you like better because IMO the two seem to vary.
@CountNadir Animation, Effects, Soundtrack, Voice acting, Storytelling. Sorry, I'm a 24 year old that grew up with the original, and I can plainly say that the new one is an improvement. I won't let nostalgia cloud me on this one. I can't.
@SenjiroAkechi the new one has poor plotlines and adventure and the characters don't show the same compassion and mutual respect as they did in the original...sorry...
@CountNadir No. The old one as is never had good plotlines, it was mostly 80s camp. This one takes it self more seriously and its soundtrack is amazing and adds to the scenes very meaningfully.
Thunder! Thunder! Thunder! Thundercats, Hoooo! my last girlfriend did not like me shouting this during the intimate parts of our relationship in fact she asked me to stop
I never get tired of visiting the greatest opening to a cartoon ever made.I miss you and my childhood.The greatest era in the history of television was and will always be the 80's!!Thundercats Hoooooooooo!!!
If one thing reminds me of my childhood, it's the Thundercats opening theme. Absolutely brilliant! I'm so lucky to have been a kid of the 80's/early 90's. I used to love the Turtles as well but Thundercats was, and always will be number one!
@JDN21 I'm 29 years old and I also grew up with some of the best cartoonseries ever made! Thundercats, He-Man, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, GI Joe, Ghostbusters, Transformers, etc. It definitely was one of the best eras to live as a kid! Nowadays the cartoons are just crap! The makers don't put their soul in it like they used to do!
@Bexy82 do shout out thunder thunder thunder thundercats during intimate times cause my girlfriend says thats weird and wants me to stop but it always fires me up!
i dont like the New thunder cats 2011, its Not the same thundercats 1985 and new Lian-o does not say the Famous WORDS AT all and the rest of the thunder cats not the same n i think the new thundercats 2011 is CRAP N bring back the Thundercats 1985
@ScottishTiger10 the new ones are no match to the originals because the new ones are gay. we had the best cartoons in the 80's. even mummra would be mad if he saw the new version of himself
I did the Thun-Thunder-Thunder-Thundercats @ WalMart with my friends last night at 12 everybody thought I was crazy. Considering I was on a tricycle and had a foam Nerf axe.......
@razoremblem well the first few episodes were done in japan, then JLA Animation handled the rest it was the same with the turtles first 12 episodes were done by toei animation then the rest were done by dic's private animation studio.

Yep, this cartoon was a legend and its American, but the fact is, a Japanese studio made the animation, and if you watch the whole series, some of the actions scenes was animated by the same studio......
@masatk2010 I always knew there was something about the animation. I knew it was animated by Japanese. Infact alot of shows are animated in Asian countries like the simpsons is animated by Koreans.
@masatk2010 The japanese studio was hired to to the legwork, the whole concept, direction and writing was american. That's like saying the Simpsons is a Korean cartoon.
FYI this was animated by the Japanese. The shit cartoons you're talking about is American made crap! Watch some Japanese anime and you'll be pumped-up to watch cartoons again I guaranteed!!!
Rankin/Bass created the show, but it was animated by Pacific Animation Corporation which included a Japanese studio called Topcraft (many of the members of which went on to form Ghibli). The opening animation was hand drawn by Masayuki Yamaguchi.
@Jouri21 WRONG!! I wish people would stop giving the Japanese credit for everything. Thundercats was created by Ted Wolf and Rankin/Bass productions. The animation and the direction may have been Japanese, but the characters and concept were American made!
@ncc7609 dude, I was only talking about the Intro. Not the entire series completely. Why you gotta yell? I know the difference and who owns and created what...
After watching this after so many years I really see how today's youth or adult generation that watches TODAY'S cartoons don't know a REAL GOOD cartoon when they see one.
