ThunderCats is finally getting a live-action movie, and this is exactly what the 1980s franchise needs after two failed reboots. The ThunderCats franchise has attempted to make a comeback several times since the ending of its orignial 1980s series, but these reboots just haven't worked out, with many wondering if ThunderCats will ever return to its former glory.

ThunderCats’ 2 Other TV Shows Were A Failure Close Since the ending of the original ThunderCats series, two other ThunderCats TV shows have been made, although they were both failures for different reasons. The first ThunderCats reboot came in 2011, with it attempting to stay true to the story and tone of the original series. While it was beloved by fans, it wasn't commercially successful enough to continue, with it being canceled after 26 episodes.

ThunderCats ’s Cancelation Proves Reviving The ‘80s Franchise Won’t Be Easy Close The 2011 ThunderCats series is considered to be exactly what fans of the ThunderCats franchise wanted, with it staying consistent with the tone and story of the original. Despite this, 2011's ThunderCats series was still a failure, showing that ThunderCats could struggle in the future even if it does stay true to the original series.

What The Live-Action ThunderCats Movie Needs To Succeed Close ThunderCats is a really weird franchise, and if it wants to succeed it needs to make this weirdness marketable. Live-action CGI versions of human-cat hybrids haven't been successful in the past , so the ThunderCats movie will have to figure out how to do this without being too weird for audiences.
