Review:
When I first heard the news about the ThunderCats remake I was jumping up and high with joy, and when I first saw the art I was like yeah not bad except for Panthro whose revamped look doesn’t look good compared to the badass and mean look he did have in the original series. Anyway, the art isn’t the issue of the new ThunderCats, we’re talking about Studio 4°C after all who made and produced Steamboy and The Animatrix, the thing with the remake is its story, yes the plot sounds good, but it didn’t go well through the whole 13 episode, despite the fact I had fun watching it.
What bugged me the most at first was the background music, but then I accepted the fact that it’s a cartoon so it has to be playing in the background forever. The art was great, I loved it, and it’s gradually getting even better. Surprisingly the voice acting was not too bad, I liked Will Friedle as Lion-O, Matthew Mercer as Tygra was one of the best, but there was one particular character which appeared only in one episode and he was flawless, that character was The Drifter voiced by Stephen Root.
I enjoyed watching ThunderCats as a kid in my childhood and now ThunderCats 2011 as an adult, as for the story I wasn’t really satisfied and the whole thing seems a bit lacking but that reminisce feeling was worth watching the 13 episodes. As for the second season of ThunderCats 2011 there’s no official statement yet but it’s currently under discussion, I hope there will be one and will feature the rest of the characters like Bengali, Monkian, Jackalman, and Leah.
