After yesterday’s leak of the Thundercats toys and promo images, Warner Bros. has sent out a press release. Included is our first “official” look at the cast of the new Thundercats Cartoon!
Roaring to life through WBA and Studio4°C’s use of the Japanese animated artistry of anime, “ThunderCats” characters Lion-O, Mumm-Ra, Panthro, Cheetara and others will spring off the screen with realistic cat-like characteristics inconceivable in previous incarnations.
The new “ThunderCats” will appeal to viewers who have loved the characters all their lives as well as young newcomers to the franchise. A sweeping tale combining swords and science and boasting ferocious battles with the highest of stakes, the grand origin story of Prince Lion-O’s ascension to the throne – and of those who would thwart his destiny at any cost – takes on epic dimensions in this sharp new telling. As the forces of good and evil battle each other in the quest for the fabled Stones of Power, Lion-O and his champions learn valuable lessons of loyalty, honor and mortality in every episode.
“ThunderCats” is executive produced by Sam Register (“Teen Titans,” “Ben 10,” “Batman: The Brave and the Bold”). Michael Jelenic (“Batman: The Brave and the Bold,” “Wonder Woman”) and Ethan Spaulding (“Avatar: The Last Airbender”) are the producers.

Look pretty good. Glad Tygra looks like himself but Panthro looks a bit barbarianish

I know it has been said a crapton, but I am really feeling Cowboy Bebop's Jet from Panthro.
Primus says
Needs more skullet. As long as they sound good and have a decent story it will make me happy.

It looks like a fun update to the original series.
Sabien says
I think Tygra is my favorite.
The_Eva-Living says
Hmmm... They look "younger" then the originals. Except for Panthro lol. He reminds me of Hellboy.

I like the look. When I first saw it I was thinking of Cowboy Bebop as well. I thought of Jet too when I saw Panthro. funny.
Hammerhand says
I like it, but I hope the story plays well with this new art style.
