The official trailer was uploaded to YouTube by the channel MovieManiacsDE on May 18th, 2018, where it received 1.2 million views in three years (seen below, left).Ī comic book adaptation of the original ThunderCats series was published in 1985 by Marvel Comics through its Star Comics imprint and ended in June of 1988. The series premiered on Cartoon Network in February of 2020 and ended in December of the same year, being canceled after only one season. The announcement generated backlash as the trailer seemed to promise a much more family-friendly tone than the previous two series, with many fans criticizing the art style and comedic tone similar to Teen Titans Go!. Animation, ThunderCats Roar, would be premiering on Cartoon Network. In 2018, it was announced that a second reboot by Warner Bros. Warner Brothers released the series across three DVD sets in 20, and would eventually release the complete series on Blu-Ray in 2014. Initially planned for 52 episodes, the series was canceled after only one season consisting of 26 episodes. Reruns of the show would later air on Toonami via Adult Swim. The series initially aired on Cartoon Network's Friday night lineup, then moved to Saturday mornings as part of the DC Nation block. In 2019, Warner Brothers released a complete series DVD set. The Season 1, Volume 1 DVD set was recalled when it was discovered that the second episode was missing its background musical score, and a corrected version was eventually released. The entire series was released on DVD by Warner Brothers in 2005 across four sets. Originally airing in syndication, the series would also air on Cartoon Network's Toonami, being the very first series shown on the block in 1997. The ThunderCats opening theme song was uploaded to YouTube on June 30th, 2011, where it received 11 million views in 10 years (shown below). The series was accompanied by a line of action figures produced by LJN. The cast only included six actors (Larry Kenney, Earle Hyman, Earl Hammond, Peter Newman, Lynne Lipton and Bob McFadden), each providing voices for multiple characters.

The animation was provided by Pacific Animation Corporation. The original ThunderCats television series ran for four seasons from 1985 to 1989.
