Awesome Thundercats

Animator xtremee_ghost loves the 1980s cartoon Thundercats so much that they created a remastered version of the show’s intro sequence. The new version features crisp, clean lines and vibrant colors in high-definition, versus the grainy old VHS transfers we’re used to seeing. Here’s the original for comparison.

While teaching himself 3D computer animation, Mike Booth thought it might be fun to practice some techniques by recreating the opening title sequence from the 1980s animated classic ThunderCats. We think he did quite the admirable job. Check out the side-by-side comparison video here. ThunderCats, roar!

(PG-13: Language) ThunderCats’ malevolent antagonist channels Ol’ Dirty Bastard, and tells us how much he likes it raw in this hilarious edit of cartoon footage by swedemason. It makes perfect sense, because Mumm-Ra is a bit of an ODB himself.

Watch weapon and prop maker Tony Swatton craft a life-size version of the Sword of Omens from Thundercats. It’s one of his most complicated builds yet, but the result is worth it. MAN AT ARMS HOOOO!!!

Breakfast HOOO!!! Tony the Tiger’s got nothing on the Lord of the ThunderCats and his cereal, filled with your recommended daily allowance of the power of Jaga. Plus you can’t beat that freebie.
