Like Young Justice and Batman: Brave and the Bold, I have yet to see many of the new ThunderCats episodes, thanks to erratic TV schedules and DVD releases here in Australia. However, I hear the re-imagined Lion-O and co’s adventures are rather awesome. Here’s the skinny for their latest DVD release, due in June.
Tygra was always my favourite.

In this reimagining of the seminal series from the 1980s, the ThunderCats are back in an all-new animated series that purrs with sensational stories starring your favorite characters in a sharp new telling of the story of prince Lion-O’s ascension to the throne — and those who would thwart his destiny at any cost. Along with Lion-O, follow the adventures of Tygra, Panthro, Snarf, Cheetara, WilyKit and WilyKat. As the threats of Mumm-Ra ring in their ears, these determined Cats know what they must do: find the Book of Omens, which holds the key to their future. Using his powerful Sword of Omens to achieve “sight beyond sight,” Lion-O guides his friends across the lands, facing vicious foes and making new allies. Prowl with the ThunderCats in this all-new adventure series through outer wastelands, magical forests, other dimensions and even to the legendary temple that conceals their ancient secrets!
“ThunderCats — one of the most popular animated series of the 1980s — has been a household name for over 25 years and we are very excited to release the second installment of the first season of the all-new ThunderCats series on DVD,” said Mary Ellen Thomas, Vice President Family & Animation Marketing and Partner Brands. “The characters may be nostalgic, but the stories are fresh for a new generation, and the
21st century animation is superb — a must own for new and old fans alike!”
