Thundercats 201912/24/2023 ![]() ThunderCats Roar will be coming to Cartoon Network in 2019. Bursting with over-the-top action and razor-sharp comedy, ThunderCats Roar boasts fresh and vibrant character designs along with a dynamic storytelling tone that promises to reignite the passionate fanbase of these iconic characters and introduce the legacy of Thundera to a whole new generation. It’s time again to feel the magic and hear the roar! Production is currently underway on ThunderCats Roar, an all-new, animated sci-fi action comedy series from Warner Bros. Here’s also the official description from the press release: Helming the project is the acclaimed young cartoonist Noelle Stevenson, who shot to fame with her work on the comic series Lumberjanes and has since written for Marvel’s Thor Annual and Runaways.ĭespite being a good deal too young to remember She-Ra from the first time round, Stevenson is a noted admirer of the show – Entertainment Weekly quoted her as saying “I was always looking for the female characters in sci-fi and fantasy who were more than just the girlfriend…She-Ra was ahead of its time. I’m so excited to bring these stories of female power and love and friendship back now when it seems like we need them more than ever.”įortunately, Stevenson hasn’t made any suicidally brave decisions like changing the art style, although it’s yet to be seen if the fanbase will throw an ape over the addition of the subtitle ‘and the Princesses of Power’ – because honestly, it’s anyone’s guess as to what’s going to set people off.Teen Titans GO still gets a lot of flak from fans of the “serious” version of the Titans, but now Cartoon Network has just announced their comedy-centric reboot for Thundercats called Thundercats Roar-and fans are once again losing their minds. This updated version is set to feature Sandra Oh ( Grey’s Anatomy), Lorraine Toussaint ( Orange Is the New Black), Marcus Scribner ( black-ish), and Aimee Carrero of Young & Hungry. She-Ra and the Princesses of Power May 18, 2018 Part of the girl-power wave of ’80s cartoons that included Jem and the Holograms and Rainbow Brite, She-Ra was an unapologetic gender-flipped spinoff of cult classic He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.įor the honor of Grayskull! DreamWorks #SheRa and the Princesses of Power is coming soon to Read about the announcement on /GnfA8N6kZx With Roar not scheduled to air until 2019, ’80s hardliners can tide themselves over with Netflix and Dreamworks’ upcoming remake of She-Ra, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. And given the fate of the 2011 version, it’s understandable the people behind it would want to take a different approach. Still, even the most vehement fans can’t fault the talent involved – among the voice actors attached to the series are Max Mittelman and Patrick Seitz of Justice League Action, Erica Lindbeck ( DC Super Hero Girls), and Chris Jai Alex ( Star Wars: Battlefront II). ![]() To the many fans who hold the original’s straightforward action-adventure tone as sacrosanct, this is essentially their Protestant Reformation. ![]() ![]() As if to really hammer home this polarising decision, Cartoon Network has also announced that Roar will be more comedic and have episodes of 10-11 minutes (again, like Steven Universe). Unlike the anime style of the original, which the 2011 iteration stayed fairly faithful to, ThunderCats Roar has adopted a bubblier, simpler art style more in the vein of Steven Universe. After a false start with the short-lived 2011 remake, beloved ’80s cartoon ThunderCats will be rebooted on Cartoon Network as ThunderCats Roar in 2019 – but not all the fans are happy.
