Cartoon Network Brings Back ThunderCats with their new ThunderCats Roar Animated Series
The ThunderCats are back again! However, they are not coming back the way you may think. Cartoon Network is giving the franchise the Teen Titians GO treatment with their upcoming animated series entitled ThunderCats Roar. Warner Bros. Animation recently announced the new cartoon series via Entertainment Weekly. This is not the first time we had a ThunderCats reboot. ThunderCats began as a franchise in the mid 1980s with the original series airing from 1985 to 1989. It followed the adventures of the ThunderCats, a race of humanoid cats from Thundera, who found refuge on Third Earth. After the series ended, fans of the show had to wait two decades before they could continue watching Lion-O, Cheetara, Panthro, Tygra, Snarf, WilyKit, WilyKat, and their friends as they saved the world from Mumm-Ra and the Plun-Darrians. The 2011 series ran for one season before being canceled to the dismay of fans. Today, fans of the franchise do not have to wait as long, but they are also not getting the show they remember.
