still no sightings of Snarf.

What? There's been a ton of him. Read the thread. He doesn't talk and is more like a pet.

Holy shit this actually looks awesome and not a cash-in on a trend to remake shit that rapes my childhood.

I dunno, man. The transformation in the original was like super high quality, like the OP. What I just saw didn't look any different from everything else other than some dynamic camera angles. I guess it's not a big deal if the package as a whole is quality. So July 29th, eh? I guess I need to find a date or make some plans, so I can cancel them to watch a children's cartoon.

sadly the only other link I knew of to the footage was pulled.

if I find it again somewhere I'll edit this post with a link.

Not long to wait now.. just under a week.

Do you guys think this will do better than the He-Man revival?

Instro · Jul 23, 2011

HD Trailer

Now that some amazing animation.

I never watched the original show, but this new show has me excited!

Qwomo · Jul 23, 2011

I just watched that trailer again, and there's something in the linework that I don't like. I can't put my finger on it. I feel like they're too thin, maybe.

Aside from that an the bad CG, though, it does look great.

thought this would be bumped for comic con

Wat. And beyond nostalgia glasses, the new show would have a hard time not being better than the original. Terrible writing outside of the concept and the animation was atrocious beyond the anime opening sequence.

You could wait until you see the one hour thing next week. I mean, even the 9 min promo looked far better than the trailer.

But w/e, do yo thing.

The original show does not hold up well at all.

Very happy with what I've seen of this reboot.

Will watch the premiere.

The Take Out Bandit · Jul 24, 2011

Damn the haters.

The original still holds up, with a healthy side of CHEESE.

Anyhow, theater was playing a preview of this before Captain America tonight. GOD DAMN!

I AM EXCITE!

RPGCrazied · Jul 24, 2011

They are running the trailer at movie theaters? That's one way to get word out. I just saw the trailer on CN, looks really good. I wished they would've axed Snarf though, really didn't like him at all in the old series.

Also wish it was a remake, not a re-imagining.

Laguna X · Jul 24, 2011

Is there any way to watch this legally if I don't have Cartoon Network?

oh shit spin is making an OT? this i gotta see! hype.

Dark Octave · Jul 25, 2011

As a fan of the original, I have to say that this new one looks good. I'm still worried about Panthro, but I have a good feeling about the series. Seemed to go deeper into the backstory, the animation was full and done very well. Everybody was updated while still recognizable (except maybe Panthro). We'll see.

Also, I hope eberyone has theme songs like in the original. Doesn't have to be the actual updated old songs (that would be nice) but themes for each character really added to the original cartoon. Let you know that they were done talking and it was time for business.

RPGCrazied · Jul 25, 2011

So is this a weekly thing, or just a mini series? The premiere is an hour long. The old series has like 130 episodes. They have a lot of material to use, even tho they seem to not be using much from the old series.

Vanillalite · Jul 25, 2011

This IMO looks waaaaayyyyy better than the Voltron reboot they are doing. I'm down on the Voltron reboot, but I'm totally up for this actually!

Binabik15 · Jul 25, 2011

I have never watched Thundercats as a child (filthy European and all), so I´ll give this a shot if it turns out to be good.

Lizzard thingies with robots and rockets? Nice.

RPGCrazied · Jul 25, 2011

I'm old enough to remember watching the cartoons on TV and buying the action figures.

tmdorsey · Jul 25, 2011

Want to chime and say I have been checking out the old series on CN and I agree completely with those saying it stills holds up well today. Better than most of the old cartoons from the 80s I've tried re watching for sure.

I checked Netflix and see that only the first 2 seasons are on DVD. Are episodes from the other seasons no where to be found yet?

spindashing · Jul 28, 2011

Okay. Made the OT. Here's the link, guys! I'm excited for the show tomorrow!
