Update
Wizard #195, December 2007.Thundercats
The Players: Warner Bros. which has owned the rights to the Thundercats since 1989, has optioned a script written by new comer Paul Sopocy, who by day works as an advertising writer at Fox Broadcasting. Jerry O'Flaherty (art director on the video games "Gears of War" and "Unreal Tournament 3"😉 earns his first directing role with the project.
The Scoop: The script is reportedly an origin story, focusing on team leader Lion-O coming of age as the leader of the Thundercats after their flight from the doomed cat-planet Thundera and their crash-landing on Third Earth. (The villainous sorcerer Mumm-Ra will definitely make an appearance.) Although early reports suggested the film would be live-action, now it looks as though it will be CGI, a la the recent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot "TMNT."

One of my FAV's will be ressurected!!!!Now before I continue, let me just say that this was my absolute favourite cartoon growing up, so it needed a write up. Thundercats is an American animated television series developed by Rankin/Bass in 1983 based on the characters created by Tobin “Ted” Wolf. The animation was provided by Topcraft, a Japanese group who would later go on to form Studio Ghibli. Now Thundercats looks to entertain a new generation. Modern tastes and specifications of what a hero should look like have evidently changed.
I see that the new look Liono (main character) has adopted a more skewed look and a bit younger may I add. The basic colour scheme is about the same (red hair, blue suit) but the costume has changed which to be honest with you I understand (it’s kind of tough to look at a hero in his underwear in this day and age) its amazing how times and tastes have changed - as its out with the 1980’s muscle middle age and in with the teen,slim Pokemon version. I dont mind the new interpretation of Liono. What do the other die hard Thundercats fans think?
The hair could have resembled a lion's mane more as Liono's original form does, but otherwise 😱
