  • Dude, the Transformers movies were great! And how dare you diss Lord of the Rings?! Besides, the youth of this generation weren't born during the 80's, so some may not like the classic animation style. Why not let the kids decide for themselves, huh? Jerk!

  • Wow...this blows hardcore. It looks like that anime crap. Lame as fuck.

  • Ugh......thank you for ruining my favorite childhood show............this is worse than the lord of the rings......how stupid.

  • @jeremy9ist did you watch the show man its pretty good

  • @thebmoffice of course I watched as much of that crap as I could........Why else would I have commented on it? You think it is good and I don't,so yeah............I'm even more disgusted with this then I was about Michael Bay ruining the Transformers.....

  • Where the hell is Panthro? Fail, new Thundercats.

  • @aloh86 someone hasn't been watching the show ;p

  • @aloh86 he comes later in the show

  • SHAME on the animation/movie industry for their complete lack of pure originality. EVERYTHING is being taken from a book, or 3rd party resource, and now remaking one of the best animated TV series of all time "Thundercats"??? Please......

  • PURE AWESOMENESS

  • they look way better, when i saw the commercial on tv i was like "WOW! that looks awesome." I hope it is.

  • Im already hating Lionos voice

  • going from catapaults and swords to giant mechas that shoot missiles in under a minute. evolution at its finest

  • How many times would he have said thunder ? :p

  • This is going to be on CN I don't know if I'll watch since I hate the way CN does their schedules. I'm still waiting on YJ to come back on.

  • Thank God..my Thundercats are back!!!!

  • This is CN's response to Avatar.

  • they better not fuck this up. .. fucking remakes

  • this is what happens when Chuck Norris plays with crayons

  • 0:21 sounded like it was from the trailer of skyrim.

  • Meh.

  • gotta love how they use spears & shields when giant missile firing robots are behind them

  • @NotTooWellKnown I guess they blew their whole military budget on the giant mechas and didn't have any money left over for guns.

  • i'm 5 years old again and i'm ready baby!!!!

  • YES!!!!!!!

  • The first episode was fantastic! 

  • Cheetara you FINE!

    Also is it just me or does Panthro look like Jet from Cowboy BeBop?

  • I never watched the original, but this was pretty damn cool compared to the shit on tv now a days.

  • fuck.I want more wilykat and wilykit.They look awesome in this show.

  • the old 80s style art with todays animation > this ben 10 lookin garbage

  • no panthro + teenage lion-o + NO PANTHRO = 2:13 of my life...and a complete series remake of my life i'll never get back

  • Why the fuck did they make lion-o look like a fag? Seriously? made him look like a small fagget.

  • Looks great although Mumra was much scarier in the 80's version.

  • Panthro died. He sacrificed himself. Lion-o reminds me of naruto and tigra sasuke lol Since naruto is the underdog lol

  • @juventinorocks they killed the "black" thundercat already??? thats fucked up

  • @mysterym34t No, Panthro's still around. You don't count someone out until you see the body and for all we know, he's just been captured or something. Don't lose hope :)

  • @mysterym34t Well, they didn't kill him in the show, like you don't see it. But yes he is dead. Supposedly he is alive and the current king tries to save his old friend which is panthro but it was all a trick it was mamra all the time...So yes he's basically dead. Although everybody DID see the first episode, maybe he'll come back, who knows.

  • I think we might see a cartoon revival this decade. There's already some good shows on Adult Swim.

  • @aesniper I agree. Between this, Adventure Time, Regular Show, the new Avenger shows, I feel as if we're almost back in the 90s :)

  • To quote Ellen Page,

    "Thundercats are go!"

  • James Rolfe (AKA the video game nerd) sent me here. He said that he has a positive reaction to this new series. I personally think it will kick ass, especially since this new thundercats series is gonna have a more serious tone. The animation looks badass as well.

  • nerdgasm

  • A remake and the characters don't look childish. It actually looks like they took some pride into this, awesome. Mostly when they remake a cartoon, they make the characters look more like a little kids cartoon and lacking detail.

  • @ryukthekid They did make the characters younger, just not as little kids. I was kinda iffy on this new incarnation, especially since the old Thundercats cartoon, while being a classic, didn't really age all too well. But after this premiere, I have to say that I'm really impressed. The characters are smart, the animation is amazing for a Western show, and I like how they addressed the racism found in the old show.

  • yep, my childhood is in danger ONCE AGAIN, this time by the hands of CN!

  • Anime style is cheap.

  • cheetara got sexier ^.^

  • This looks good but it does not make ammends for what they did to Sym-bionic titan!!!

  • @frankenstien93 Nothing could ever make up for that, but we will muddle through and try to give these shows the ratings they deserve.

  • where is panthro and snarf?

  • @Crisp3333 I thought I saw snarf at 1:16

    Their look really has changed. It still looks good tho. Still kind of wish they kept their old look.

  • @Crisp3333 panthro is in the show just not in the first couple episodes

  • 1:44 really builds the suspense!

  • Reallly hoping this doesnt suck. And that CN doesnt F** it up like every single cartoon they've had since the 90s ended :(...

  • @theory24 Do the entire internet a favor and shut the fuck up.

  • @HarlanPhoenixYT Fuck you dick head Troll! Go finish Masterbating to your mom! Move out of your basement already >:)!! Pussssssyyy!!!

  • I love that they kept some of the retro sound effects from the original series!

  • Mumra scared the fuck out of me as a kid. I always thought he was the biggest bad ass in cartoons, more so than Skeletor, Cobra Commander, etc. Echoing what others have said, I hope they do him justice.

  • @astrosteve

    When I was a kid I was too scared of mumra to watch the show.

  • ok...I hope to God they do Mumm-ra right....when I was 5 back in 88 I loved this show. 28 and not much has changed.. MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUM RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

  • If Panthro is in the series, why is it that even the commercials on Cartoon Network fail to show him?

  • He may only ask that they fight like cats, but I ask that they fight like THUNDERcats, plz...

  • hope panthro is still black

    

  • @RamenFury Yes. He is lol

  • Maybe Panthro comes in later? *Hope* But the good news is, I also see a distinct lack of Snarf.

  • @1986Whisky You can see Snarf near the end when they're all standing on that cliff face. At about 1:41.

  • @OddballEducator AH You're right! I'm not surprised I missed it. :P Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully he's not as irritating this go-around. Or am I the only one who thought so?

  • If they dont have Masayuki doing the intro animation to this cartoon then it'll suck.

  • PLEASE! ALL I ASK IS....kill snarf......please

  • Finally! They had better not fuck this up!

  • Mixed feelings on this. Liono was a kid on Thundera. Are they just gonna remake the story as they see fit? I'm not easily appeased just because they're bringing it back. Do it right.

  • Comment removed

  • Cartoon Network's getting it right! :D

  • Wow this actually looks pretty close to the 80's series

  • Only one i dont like the way they remade is snarff

  • they better have panthro damnit!! How can you do the show without Panthro-the black thundercat lol

  • cant wait for this!!

  • snarf snarf

  • I need new pants

  • OMG!!!! i love this, i was waiting for a live action movie or some sort, since they can make a Friggin movie on smurfs but this will hafta do till then =) awesome!

  • FINALLY IVE BEEN SO WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG.

  • AHHHH!!!!! Please don't screw this up, please don't screw this up, please don't screw this up..........

  • @invicta1313 they screwed it up the moment they decided to redo it... Just like Transformers etc. etc. (sigh)

  • HELL FUCKING YES!

  • Panthro?

  • um did i miss panthro?? is he not in this new anime?

  • This show looks fantastic I cannot wait tell it comes out.

    No one childhood is killing over this look like it be as good as transformers animated which was of course fantastic.

  • What in the hell happen to Panthro. How can you forget the only black main character in the whole damn cartoon. This new re-make is going to be terrible because of this huge mistake.

  • @sirthomas00 maybe they just showing seens early in the story  they maybe he will show up later

  • Are you people insane?

    Wow. Thanks for killing my childhood, Cartoon Network.

  • @xBeatCity Are you on crack? I hate to accuse you of such things...but... Really?

  • @xBeatCity key words your childhood its not your childhood anymore so let the new kids have theres we got our memories and they going to have theres

  • I'm might start watching animation again. this looks good. the original one was campy, like the turtles in the 80s.

  • The art is beautiful.

  • they changed up the character design and made them teenagers but who knows if it will be good or not.

  • I pray that Lion-o destroys the dark pony menace with a AWESOME remake of a 80s cartoon C;

  • This worries me...

  • I'm a thunder cat..Hoooooooo! lol

  • All I have to say is " Its about time".

  • Ancient spirits of evil, transform this ancient cartoon into COOLNESS!

  • thunder, Thunder, THUNDERCATS HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! man i remember watching this in my teens. Whenever the original was on everyone knew where to find me. Can waits to see what the new one is gonna be like.

  • This trailer gives me the chills.

    Finally a reboot cartoon done right!

  • The new Cheetara kinda looks like Nefertina from Mummies Alive.

  • I know this is in bad taste but... I'm just glad he didn't ask them to "fight like pussies."

    haaaa yeah.

  • ...I need a tissue. I think Im crying tears of joy. Seriously...

    My childhood ..revived.

  • Where the hell is Panthro?

  • @Twingrim

    Im positive that he will be brought in.... He better!

  • @Twingrim He's in it, just not in this preview, for some weird reason.

  • @Twingrim Seriously! Where's his black ass?!

  • @Twingrim Maybe they feel they don't need a token black man? I hope they change their mind...

    

  • @Rendosian01 Panthro is in the new show. I seen a trailer with him.

  • @Twingrim Answer is... "he looks racist"

  • @Twingrim Don't worry! He is in there! You can't have Thundercats without him!!

  • @Twingrim

    He was said to be killed.

  • hell gyeah real cartoons, lol take me back to my grandmam house.  nice..

  • i never thought id see the day when i wusnt trying to see every single cartoonnetwork show and get upset when i missed an episode

  • Now that...looks hot. That's how you do a revamp (Looking at you Nick with your Voltron).

  • Finally....an 80's remake DONE RIGHT.

  • @pinoi78 No... no its not... Lion-o fully grown at the begining... not forced into the awkward situation of leading the last of his race after his home planet has been destroyed and instead leading his people to freedom against an ancient evil that he battled on another planet in another series that his people had no contact with originally as I recall? yeah they got the plot spot on... Its actually pretty insulting... its just another anime clone now.

  • @ChaosDirge There's a difference between a re-imagining and airing the same show again.

  • @GruntLogic Yeah, I know there is. but its like remaking speed racer so that he fights super mutants while he races... I don't mind different changes, but at least keep the original back-story. Was the Avatar the last Airbender movie Re-imagineering or was it just crap? it doesn't matter how long apart the cartoons are you can see as well as anyone this is another anime clone.

  • @ChaosDirge

    Lion-O, wielding the Sword of Omens and the Clawshield, will still lead a small group of Thundercats after his home falls. Since he's a teenager in this version, he'll still be a skilled fighter that is inexperienced as a leader. Tygra being his adoptive brother actually gives a reason for him being next in line for Lord of the Thundercats (which seems kind of arbitrary in the original...Panthro would probably be the better choice anyway). -to be continued...-

  • Every change they make has a specific point. Thundera being a city state on Third Earth allows for Third-Earthlings to have a stronger connection to them, and for non-mutant villains to have a better reason to fight them. Specifically, a mural in one trailer implies Mumm-ra will have some history with them. Thundercats was always a show that had amazing ideas, but, sadly, not that great of a story. As someone who grew up watching the original show, I approve of every change so far.

  • @GruntLogic And you are not alone.

  • @ChaosDirge

    Finally.....which anime are you accusing this of copying?

  • @GruntLogic I didn't say it was copying I was saying it was a clone, as in that it was taking influences from them because thats whats popular. Plot and sub-style I can't accuse them of copying anything, I believe in free expression of art and many things can be taken from all over the word artists influence each other all the time, still doesn't make my other points invalid does it?

  • Thundara wasn't suppose to have weapons on a mass scale as well... I saw mechs in the cartoon "mechs", All the thunder cats were also suppose to be from different noble houses... and I'm betting they removed panthro because they thought he was racist.

  • @ChaosDirge

    Panthro is in the cartoon. He apparently doesn't have a huge role in the first two episodes though, which is where all the trailer footage comes from.

  • @GruntLogic

    Ahh well then at least that is something to look forward to. XD

  • @ChaosDirge

    Oh, definitely. Apparently, he may not even be in the pilot, but the creators have said "Panthro is the coolest character in the show, just like the original version." I hope he still builds the Thundertank!

  • Looks a lot like Avatar: The Last Airbender.

  • @A88mph We should be so lucky.

  • HOLY. SHIT.

  • hell gyeah this is my thing here ..

    

  • Do they ever need dental care? Just wondering.

  • this looks great! yeeesssss.

  • T_T this brings back memories. This should be good for the kids today.

  • Um. BTW. Idiots commenting on it being anime style, go feel stupid. The original thunder cats was anime as well. Go watch the credits, all the names are Japanese. Feeling stupid yet? :3

  • @robingurl No, are you. but it didn't have an anime look to it. Proving the anime an be done and not look like anime. The original was more detailed in it's drawings but now everything is grey and not as defined. Even color is not all that colorful. It's like looking at the original Macross series and this comparing it to the Robotech Macross series where the robots, ships, and characters are clearer and more defined. Story wise it might be good but the new look stinks.

  • @CartoonSentinel If it was made by the Japanese than it was anime Anime is Japanese animation after all

  • @phreshfire It may be anime but it didn't look like the classic looking type of anime that you traditionally see like Dragball Z, or even Speedracer which was anime from the 70's.

  • hahah did I just hear Larry Kenny? Hello original Lion-O xD still sounding as gorgeous as ever! But Tygra's redo is just...man *fans self* he's my favorite to begin with but ...xD dang. I hope his voice is just as hot.

  • Yeah it has panthro... I saw him in a pic for the new show

  • where he HELL is panthro?

  • and wtf is up with the giant robots this ant fucking escaflowne

  • i'm pretty sure if they fought like cats it would intail alot of napping, crotch licking and scratching random shit.

  • i just saw pictures of panthro, the fuck did they do to him. he looked cool as hell in the original, but the art for him in this one is fucking horrible.

  • Am I the only one that kept facepalming when I heard the word "cats"? Other then that...doesn't look so bad...*Forces a smile*

  • Shit just got real y'all

  • Looks terrible

  • This trailer gave me goosebumps; can't wait for the series to begin.

  • This looks incredibly epic. I hope they can maintain this.

  • you know what i want to see? lion-o killing snarf and panthro

  • when does this start?

  • Looking good so far, i hope they don't screw it up. Also Mumm Ra looks badas

  • Yeah, the anime influence on this sucks.

  • @dustingdustin You DO know the original was basically anime too, right? Watch the credits, tell me what kind of names you see in the animation department. What's that? Oh right, they're all Japanese. Look at most televised anime from the same time period, and you've got the same general look as ThunderCats.

  • @lostdrewid it's not a matter of them being japanese, it just looks and sounds like most modern anime. The overdone voice work, the character design. I honestly couldn't tell you why or how, but it bugs the shit out of me. It's like...cutesy or trying to be extreme or something. I can't really put my finger on it. And Japanese names? If you look at the names of ANY animated show, ever, you'll pretty much get mostly japanese names.

  • @dustingdustin overdone voicework ?? lion-o only said like 1 line. The voice actings fine, the only anime influence i see is the character designs. I think its just gonna look anime, but its going to be written like an american cartoon.

  • @lostdrewid people dont realize the original thundercats was anime, though it was 80's anime, which in my opinion was the top tier anime, before anime turned all super cutesy. i should say before super cutesy anime took over all anime.

  • @dustingdustin yup the new main looks frail as shit liono was a Lion!! Not a pussy! :)

  • Glory of a race built upon slavery. I like the background of the new show :)

  • Oh wow. Honest to God effort...Hope it sticks better than the Heman remake does.

  • rumored to be out in july and for those asking about panthro he's played by Kevin Michael Richardson so he's gunna be in there somewhere....enter this in imdb's search box for link tt1666278

  • .... When is this coming out!?!?!?!?

  • I have only two issues:

    1. Umm I thought there was another one? *cough* panther *cough*

    2. They look pokemonish.

  • I may not like how they re-did DBZ but I DO like how thundercats look and the animation is AWSOME!!

  • A new change. Im down. If this is succeful we might actually see a comeback for Silverhawks.

  • WHERE PANTHRO

  • well the remake of he-man was horrible, hopefully the remake of this is at least decent, but really how can you improve on the original
