Thundercats Movie Trailer
Mu! Want to see! Been a fan of Thundercats since I was a wee lad. Too bad its just fan made. Which brings me to a question. Would you each donate a dollar to the person who made this trailer to make a full blown movie?
And check out the 1985 anime version below. See how animation back then pwns most of this winters seasons anime in terms of animation quality.

For all the fans of Thundercats, this will definitely worth your time to watch this fan made trailer.

The animator were indeed from Japan... from what i knew it was a combination of several studio that we know now as the one "Studio Ghibli" XD
So that's how they learn to draw Totoro and that Cheshire bus-cat. lol.

I seen SOME episodes of thundercats but quit after discovering Transformers. Robots who transform into cars and tanks were more appealing to me than humanoid cats fighting to save the world against a mummy ^^;

Grew up after thundercats, but I gotta say that's some incredible editing. Wouldn't have been able tell it wasn't real if I wasn't told.

I believe it was said that a live action TC movie is indeed coming. Supposed to be about Lion-O's coming of age, or something like that.

One of my favorite cartoons of all time. That's actually a really good fan trailer. It just shows how much love there is for the property. It's probably better that Hollywood doesn't get its hands on Thundercats, though. Look at Dragonball and Chun-Li and you'll see why.

I loved the Thundercats when I was younger. I remember spending weekday afternoons watching it with friends and then going out and mimicking Lion-O. I would glad contribute to the creation of this film, but if the original creator of this trailer were to use the same actors and actresses--it would cost an insane amount of money.

Yay for Thundercats! I'll definitely contribute.
More than a dollar if necessary.

Haven't heard about Thundercats before. :goes to read the wiki entry:

To be fair, this 1985 opening is naturally higher quality than the rest of the half-hour episode. As a kid, I loved it! But when I tried watching again last year out of nostalgia, I couldn't finish 5 episodes, lol. I really tried. Nostaglic, true. But unexpectedly hard to watch again nowadays. Maybe I'll give it another shot. But if u haven't seen it since the 80's, maybe you'll think the same thing, hehe... >_<;

Watching the trailer was so weird until I realized that they were painting over existing movie scenes. I was like "That guy has a very striking resemblance to Jackman's Wolverine....". Then I saw the Lion-o sword and shield clip and was like OHHhhhh!

That's pretty nicely done! ^^
Saw some of "Thundercats" when I was little. I gather a Thundercats movie could be good, especially if they strike a more serious tone mixed with action like in Spider-man or X-men.

Seen this a while ago. That doesn't mean it isn't good. That's some mad, mad editing skills. I'd donate to see if he could manage to make a full movie out of that. It would be interesting to see how much he knows the story. Would he include the New Thundara characters in a movie? Certainly Lion-O's father should make a cameo. Anyhow, I always thought that the Thundercats were too campy to make into a movie, but then again, they did Speed Race a while back, so I guess anything could happen.

That's the opening though.....

I saw Thundercats on DVD at a friend's place a few years ago and while I was really impressed at the quality of the intro sequence, which looks like it was farmed out to Japan, I have to say the in-episode animation quality, especially mid-season, did not fare the test of time so well. In fact it looked like it had been farmed out to a home for quadriplegic, blind, Parkinson's sufferers.
Still, a nice 懐かしい trip down memory lane.
