Thundercats remade?!
Apparently it's open season on 80's animated TV shows in Hollywood. Although I personally will remain sceptical about the information source, Aint It Cool News is reporting that Warner Brothers is remaking Thundercats as another animated series. However, *ahem*, the end results may not please fans of the original:
WB animation is remaking the Thundercats as an animated TV series.
The animation style is whimsical, Americanized-anime, along the lines of Teen Titans.
The setting is modern-day Earth, in a major city (possibly LA)
The Thundercats are all teenagers.
Their leader is Snarf (!) who is now a mystic with a "third" eye.
Each of the Thundercats has a weapon with an "Eye of Thunderra" and transformative powers (not just Lion-O)
When they aren't fighting evil, the Thundercats play together as a rock band. That's not a typo, or a joke. They are rockin' cats in their present form.
Mum-Ra now has wings. And I bet he laughs a bit more than he used to =P
I have even less faith in THIS (and I still own all the original action figures) than Michael Bay's Transformers movie (I've never been a fan of vehicles and appliances becoming robots, for the record). Speaking of which...
You can see the first pics of the Transformers here at AICN as well...
At least the CGI Teenage Mutant Ninja Turles film has potential, seeing as it is more closely based on Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird's original, more mature comics.
