Man, I'm gonna have to go watch the theme again...

It looks like we're getting a new ThunderCats show on Cartoon Network.

On one hand, I love this show when I was younger. (Yes, yes, I can go on at length about Cheetarah's awesomeness.) On the other hand, it doesn't take much to make a show about cat people entirely awful. In fact, it would be pretty freaking easy. Then again, the guys who made "The Anmatrix" are involved. Then again "Stones of Power". Then again, Sam Register, Michael Jelenic and Ethan Spaulding have yet to be involved in anything I /haven't/ liked?

Ehn. I will remain faintly interested until I see more. I'm burnt out on getting excited for reboots of properties from my childhood. Few of them are good and fewer of them seem to get any real support from the people that reboot them.

I loved Thundercats as a kid... but nothing ruins fond nostalgic memories so much as seeing them again as an adult.

If the remake appeals to kids today like the original appealed to me, then it will probably be a success... even if I can't stand the remake.

Very true. I am not at all the best judge of 'will kids watch this'. The team they've hired, though, has a chance of doing something for all ages.
