Cartoon Network has sent out a press release for their upcoming television schedule. In the release, they give a short description of the series they are set to air. One of those series, obviously, is the Thundercats 2011 Cartoon. For long time fans, this info could be considered a Potential Spoiler. So stop reading now if you don’t want to know.
ThunderCats: The re-imagined animated series based on the beloved 80s classic tells the tale of a hero’s epic journey to fulfill his ultimate destiny. On Third Earth, the kingdom of Thundera is being threatened by the evil sorcerer Mumm-Ra and young heir to the throne Lion-O embarks on a great quest to take his rightful place as king. The unlikely champion, joined by his faithful comrades Tygra, Cheetara, Panthro, WilyKit, WilyKat and his loyal pet Snarf, must work together to save their world from darkness.
That’s right, Thundera is a kingdom and not a planet! They’re already on Third Earth when the series opens. When originally announced, the producers revealed that the series would simplify the Thundercats story, and that’s just what this is.
