Our childhood returns in 2011 thanks to WB Animation and Studio4°C

(June 3, 2010 – Burbank, CA) – Warner Bros. Animation (WBA) has begun production on “ThunderCats,” an all-new animated series for Cartoon Network, based upon the iconic 1980s action classic. “ThunderCats” is the newest series from WBA, joining “Batman: The Brave and the Bold,” which was recently renewed for a third season, and the following forthcoming programs: “The Looney Tunes Show,” “MAD,” “Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated” and “Young Justice.” The announcement was made today by Sam Register, Executive Vice President, Creative Affairs, Warner Bros. Animation.

“In addition to being Warner Bros. Animation’s first anime series, ‘ThunderCats’ marks our most ambitious foray yet into fantasy,” said Register. “The realism and dynamic visual style we’ve achieved are sure to thrill viewers, and the cool weapons, vehicles and technology should help the show appeal to a diverse audience.”

The 21st century reimagining of the series marks a creative collaboration between WBA and Studio4°C, one of the most vibrant animation studios in Japan, with credits including “The Animatrix,” “Gotham Knights” and “Halo Legends.” WBA is working closely with Studio4°C, utilizing the latter’s expertise to give the “ThunderCats” characters a new cutting-edge look while remaining true to the compelling storylines and mythology of the original series.

“We at Studio4°C are excited to be in this creative partnership with Warner Bros. Animation to bring ‘ThunderCats’ to life,” said Eiko Tanaka, President and CEO, Studio4°C. “This collaboration combines the strengths of our two companies – high production values and great storytelling – toward reintroducing this classic fan-favorite to a new audience.”

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.

Kit and Kat are drug addicts!

Was there ever any doubt?

 

[TheVileOne]

I always knew they were evil!

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

I wonder if the fruit they were eating had some sort of drug in it? LOL

I always knew they were evil!

And the warrior maidens were actually jungle/forest hookers.

"Candy fruit" is well known on the streets for being 100% pure cocaine.

Awesome to see the Thundertank in action.

[Pink Ranger]

Just ask Tygra.

Let's just say he didn't even have stripes before he started hanging around Charlie Sheen ...

 

[The Guardian]

New episode tonight, FINALY lol, the Berbils hit the scene!!! up:

 

[misjuevos]

"we are the berbils"

 

[mjdiddy1]

Holy Moly....Berbils and Snow Meow!!! YES! Now if we could get a Mandora episode and maybe more SilverHawk nods! And maybe dare I say Haichiman.

 

[Panthro]

I'd kill to see Silverhawks redone as well as this.

 

[craigdbfan]

That was a darling episode.

Definitely on the fun side of things.

 

[Still Wynning]

I loved all of Panthro's lines in this episode, especially these:

"Fine, but I don't trust anything that adorable."

"You mean...my hunk of junk...is no longer a hunk of junk?" *cries*

 

[Wyrminarrd]

Panthro needs to learn how to drive, his driving tactics were just bizarre in this episode.

 

[Paradox1]

loved this weeks episode it had me rolling.

 

[TheVileOne]

Good episode. Wily Kit and Kat were hilarious. Panthro befriending the Berbils was great.

This episode makes me wonder, will we see the Warrior Maidens in this show as well?

 

[Panthro]

If we don't get Warrior Maidens at some point I'll be very disappointed.
