Animation has shared with CBR News the first official image from this year's "ThunderCats" anime, posted below along with the studio's press release.Official Press ReleaseRoaring to life through WBA and Studio4Cs 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-Os 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).

Animation and Japanese partners Studio4C. "In addition to being Warner Bros. Animations first anime series, ThunderCats marks our most ambitious foray yet into fantasy, WBAs Sam Register said during the series announcement last June. The realism and dynamic visual style weve achieved are sure to thrill viewers, and the cool weapons, vehicles and technology should help the show appeal to a diverse audience.Until the London Toy Fair footage, the only look at the show fans had was the following promotional poster:They should just show re-runs of the original, tbf.

Moose Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Man, Cheetara looks so sexy in that second photo. You would. Does she even have a human vagina though?I'm not that interested in new Thundrcats really. Woudln't mind watching th originals again. Mumm-ra used to freak me out a lot when he changed into Nega-Mumm-ra or whatever he did. That was scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Easy Wishes Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Does she even have a human vagina though?Does it even matter?He looks delighted, content - like he's just been intimate with her. She's probably off fighting, or running fast, or having a fag or something. Typical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeromiserY Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 There was talk of a live action movie a couple years ago, guess it must have been shelved.There's a mocked up trailer on YouTube showing "what could have been". The anime looks pretty pish, re-runs ftw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Cocker Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 I liked the episode from the original series when mumm-ra disguised as a plant called Silky and fed Tigra hallucinogenic fruit. There was a cracking wee tune to go with the Silky bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaki Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Man, Cheetara looks so sexy in that second photo. You would. Does she even have a human vagina though?.Either way it is a cartoon vagina. At the start of the series I seem to remember them being in a spaceship and them being without leotards? That might have been my second ever TV induced pinger after Princess Leia in Return of the Jedi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
