Thunder Cats has been one of the most popular comic series since the franchise was re-launched by Studio 4°C and Warner Bros. Animation in 2011. The new ThunderCats includes famous characters from the past, such as Mumm-Ra, Lion-O, Cheetara, and Panthro. Sam Register, the programme’s executive producer, is also known for his other works, including Teen Titans, Batman, Ben 10 and the Brave and the Bold.
Thunder Cats is expected to appeal to both younger viewers, who are attracted to the show as a completely new entity, as well as adults who enjoyed it when it was first on our screens. The show’s storylines include a mixture of sword battles, modern technology, science, large battles and epic plot twists, making it a must watch for fans old and new.
Prince Lion-O’s incredible rise to the throne, which is both an entertaining and epic battle between good and evil, is a perfect tale for kids as well as adults. Each episode presents the unstoppable quest of these good and evil forces for the stones of power. During every season, the Prince learns a valuable lesson regarding honour, loyalty and mortality.
It is clear that a lot of time and effort has gone into the show’s production, and viewers are sure to be thrilled with the incredible visual effects and the realism of the characters. Technological fans will be pleased with the large number of vehicles and weapons that are on display in the show, something which should help it to attract diverse audiences.
Thunder Cats toys are also likely to be popular. So if you are going to introduce your children to the show expect them to ask for the latest action figures for their next birthday or Christmas presents.
