So this animated MAD sketch apparently aired on Cartoon Network. You know, when you put it like this, the Internet seems downright stupid. Bordering, perhaps, on full retard. Even as someone from the inside that gets these jokes — and who, by the way, thinks the new Thundercats cartoon is completely bitching and worth your [...]
Thundercats
So let me get this straight: the new ThunderCats cartoon is nicely animated in the traditional methods (even if it looks to anime-ish for my liking), the mythology around the show seems streamlined, there are giant robots, all the favorite characters are accounted for except for Snarf (thankfully) and Panthro (sadly), Cheetara is disturbingly hotter [...]
Cartoon Network has unveiled about 70 seconds or so of footage from the upcoming Thundercats cartoon, from Sam Register (Teen Titans, Ben 10, Batman: The Brave and the Bold), Michael Jelenic (Batman: TB&TB, Wonder Woman), and Ethan Spaulding (Avatar: The Last Airbender). It looks pretty good. Certainly something I would enjoy watching, perhaps out of [...]
Back in 2008 Warner Brothers began work on a CGI Thundercats movie with director Jerry O’Flaherty at the helm. A source working on the now defunct film released the work to Flixist for online posting. Two thoughts immediately come to mind: 1) It’s a good thing this movie was shelved. The footage above is pretty awful. 2) [...]
The photos was taken at the London Toy Fair and the animation looks alright. Certainly nothing to be alarmed about. It’s certainly a relief that the teenage Lion-O isn’t wearing a unitard wrestling outfit with a snazzy belt anymore. Plus — Cheetara? Still kinda hot for an animated cat-human hybrid being. The new version, courtesy [...]
It’s coming to Cartoon Network next year, and according to Topless Robot, “its going to be animated by Studio 4C, the Japanese anime studuo who worked on parts of The Animatrix, Batman: Gotham Knight, Halo: Legends and apparently did all of Transformers: Animated.” Fuck. Yes. I will watch the shit out of this cartoon while stuffing my [...]
It’s easy to understand why the in-development Thundercats animation movie was put in turn around by Warner Brothers by looking at the concept art from director Jerry O’Flaherty. Obviously the executives took a look at what Jerry was going for and said to themselves, “nope we’ve got to stop. This is just too good. Too [...]
For people of a certain age-demographic the possibility of a live action or animated Thundercats movie has always been something of a “we want to see it but they’ll just screw it up” kind of thing.? The cartoon show is ridiculous, make no mistake about it.? But it was thrilling for an eight-year-old. Wormy TV [...]
Just a quickie here. When it was reported Thundercats was getting the big screen treatment we were pretty pumped. And not the least bit cause Ving Rhames would make an awesome Panthro (willing he’d dress up like a giant nunchuck weilding feline). Now word comes from Warner Bros. that the film will be entire CGI. [...]
Not that we’re about to diss on The Thundercats, since it’s a seminal cartoon from the eighties, but we were always more of a Silverhawks kid (Afterall, they were partly metal, partly real). Still, there’s no denying that awesome shredding of Eddie Van Halen in the Thundercats into. This morning it broke that Warner Bros. [...]
