For the older folks out there who grew up on watching cartoons like He-Man, She-Ra, Smurfs, and the original animated Voltron, Thundercats is one of those fondly remembered cartoon series that was probably great to watch as a kid but cheesy to watch as an adult. But guess what? It’s coming back and with a new twist!
Studio 4°C, makers of The Animatrix, Batman: Gotham Knight, and Halo: Legends will be heading the making of the series in a more “traditional anime style” unlike their previously mentioned works. For those unfamiliar with Thundercats, check out wikipedia or read this summary by WB,
