Lion-O, the newly appointed Lord of the ThunderCats, attempts to lead the team as they make this planet their new home. Staying true to the premise of the original series, Lion-O and the ThunderCats - Tygra, Panthro, Cheetara, Wilykat, and Wilykit - barely escape the sudden destruction of their home world, Thundera, only to crash land on the mysterious and exotic planet of Third Earth. The clip also gives a little taste of the comedic humor the show promises as well as the opening intro to the new reboot. Get the scoop directly from Courtright and Lion-O (voiced by Max Mittelman of Justice League Action) below. ThunderCats Roar / Warner Bros Animation & Cartoon Network Watch the behind-the-scenes announcement below: We’ll have to wait for the 2019 premiere to find out if that is a good thing or not.

The new show opening will be a full story in and of itself providing the backstory and history of the ThunderCats, a sneak peek of which can be seen in the end of the clip. It was the original intro that Courtright referenced during his time learning about animation, and he promises the new intro will not disappoint. Also? It will have a full blown proper intro, reminiscent of the original. He shares that the new animated show will be a comedy perfectly in line with current offerings from Cartoon Network, saying, “I think the world that they built lends itself really well to comedy because of how silly and crazy and outlandish those ideas are and some of those settings are.” However, it will still include the “super cool action elements” that defined ThunderCats.

I keep meaning to go back and find it to watch again, but I also remember being disappointed in the little I saw. It lasted just one season and I managed to catch one episode.

I grew up with Lion-O, Tygra, Panthro, Cheetara, WyliKit and WlyiKat, the Snarfs, and Mumm-Ra. This meant I had plenty of quality animation in my childhood. However, my dad had the sight-beyond-sight to collect VHS recordings of all of the Saturday morning cartoons he thought were fantastic, which included ThunderCats. Quick confession: I was born too late to watch ThunderCats when it originally aired between 19.
