Its more playful animation style and light-hearted tone, in keeping with the zany zeitgeist of Adventure Time and Gravity Falls, sparked the social-media hashtag “#ThunderCatsNo,” a riff on the rallying cry of ThunderCats, ho! in the show theme. In 2018, Cartoon Network decided to try again with a reboot called ThunderCats Roar. This apparently prompted Carton Newtork to reboot the show in 2011 in an anime style, shortly cancelled in 2012 due to poor ratings. The feline do-gooders always bested Mumm-Ra episode after episode, which predictably closed with a moral lesson about teamwork and virtue.Īfter ending, the show enjoyed considerable popularity in the 2000s when Cartoon Network aired reruns.
Not that the main characters’ names weren’t great: Lion-O, Tygra, Cheetara, and Panthro, and their adorable but nebbish sidekick, Snarf. ThunderCats followed a group of cat-people fending off their mummy antagonist, inventively named Mumm-Ra. It was animated by a Japanese company but produced, voiced, and distributed in the US. ’80s and ’90s kids will remember the ThunderCats. Created by Tobin Wolf, the original series ran from 1985–89.
