We talk to the producers of the latest ThunderCats reboot, ThunderCats Roar

ThunderCats are on the move again — this time, as ThunderCats Roar, a traditionally animated series on Cartoon Network that hits this month. This marks the third version of the franchise to hit television screens, almost ten years after a 26-episode reboot of the series in 2011.

Besides Western animation, such as Disney movies like Bambi, Courtright also appreciated Japanese anime like Cowboy Bebop, Crayon Shin-chan, and the works of Hayao Miyazaki . Due to the fewer number of drawings per second for anime , the focus in Japanese anime is more on layout, with a strong sense of motion."So this led me to what my current style preferences are," said Courtright.

It's not a straight up carbon copy of the'80s show though — the individual ThunderCats have more clearly defined personality traits, which comes out in their dialogue and interactions. Other changes include the opening theme, which doesn't make use of the original ThunderCats score. But fans of the original will definitely recognise the original ThunderCats theme during the show — like during the fight music and in the closing credits. This labour of love to the original features everything a ThunderCats fan could hope to see in a reboot, the Cat's Lair , the ThunderTank , Lion-O's Claw Shield, and even the special powers of the Sword of Omens .

ThunderCats Roar follows the short form, 10-12 minute format of recent animated series, like Justice League Action and DC Super Hero Girls."But this isn't something new to American comedy animation", explained Halpern-Graser."This short form has been a pretty consistent format for some time, just that they'd split a 22 minute show into two 11 minute segments.
