ThunderCats Sneak Peek Online

We've seen the blurry images of the toys leak out, we've seen the full on first image provided by Warner Bros. We then started to see a slew of toys officially presented. And now Cartoon Network has the first promo out for the new ThunderCats series that will debut this year...

That trailer give me the impression that we might spend a bit of time on Thundera before the plot moves to 3rd Earth. Which might be an interesting way to handle things.

There's a definite potential for this if they make proper use of the episodes they have and such.

*Watches* It seems like we already have another potential major change to the story. In regards to when they got to 3rd Earth. It gives the impression they've been there for awhile. I wonder if Thundera still exists in this series. Well, I could be reading the trailer wrong.

Nice animation and narration. But it seems like Lion-O got aged a bit before he was suppose to. Wasn't he a baby when all that stuff happen and aged because his stasis tube got damaged?

Young boy (cub?) about Kit and Kat's age given relative height. Can't remember if the comic or animation placed him at 12 yrs old when they left Thundera.

Based on my memory, I'm pretty sure the previous cartoon had Lion-O around the age of the twins. In any case, one thing we need to remember when it comes to this new series is this.

That since this seems to be an overhaul, some of the old stuff may not apply anymore. That doesn't mean they'll drop everything. Ie you can't exactly drop Lion-O as the lord of the Thundercats.

Oh wow.

Check the twins.

and transformed Mumm-Ra.

Wow, these are toys I am not in a rush to get.

I am excited for the series. I loved the voice of Larry Kenney as Claudis. I think I am going to watch this series weekly when it premieres.

The new series will looks nice in HD, and something to look forward to in July.

I had just read this from The Escapist before coming here:

"In the trailer, we see the idyllic land of Thundera - which is no longer its own world, but just a walled city-state on Third Earth. It's the days of peace and prosperity, but the voice-over warns us that the tribulations have been prophesized. And indeed, a whole army of lizard people come to attack Thundera, with huge mecha walkers and missiles and lasers, against the Thundercats' flaming arrows. The Thundercats promise to "fight like cats," but to no avail, as we see Thundera being destroyed. Cheetara joins the fight, with lots of awesome cat-fu, and Lion-O holds his sword aloft, with lots of lightning. "Go Thundercats Go!" we are exhorted."

Think that answers some questions.
