ThunderCats are on the loose and back to wow a new generation of children in a reimagining of the TV series that defined the 1980’s and has reigned as a cult pop-culture phenomenon for more than 25 years.
A sweeping tale combining swords and science; and boasting ferocious
battles with the highest of stakes.
As the forces of good and evil battle each other in the quest for the fabled Stones of Power, Lion-O and his champions learn invaluable lessons of
loyalty, honour and friendship every step of the way.
The grand origin story of Prince Lion-O’s ascension to the throne and of those who would thwart his destiny at any cost, Thundercats takes on epic dimensions in this sharp new animation.
In its special 1-hour premiere in the US, ThunderCats secured 2.4 million

Network.
