ThunderCats Return!

Looks like someone is picking up the ThunderCats cartoon.

"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."


There is not much to say about this. ThunderCats was a popular cartoon in the mid 1980's which featured a group of cat-people, the last of their race (of course) who are trying to rebuild their feline society on a strange planet.

Obviously, people remember the show fondly, as judging by the huge fan reaction to a leaked promo-photo and news that the show would be rebooted into a new form.

This fan craze has boosted ThunderCats to the top of many search engines and of course, made it a Trending Topic on Twitter:
