ThunderCats (Original Series): The Complete Series (DVD)

This is the best example of how to remake an old series. The animation, the chararcter designs, music and such an awesome origin and story is just wonderful. I've seen the original series and I thought it was fantastic for its time, a little campy somewhat with stiff dialogues and mediocre voice acting. For those who hates this remake is stuck in the past and set their minds not to like this wonderful anime-esque remake and it's truely sad. Everything about this remake is top notch and I was legitimately disappointed when I heard they stopped the production after 3 seasons due to bad advertising and placement of the show in a wrong timeslot and channel, the same reason how xena warrior princess show ended. The creators put everything into this show and nothing was overlooked, lion-o's sword, the thundertank, the character's abilities are all there and they use it too, (Lion-o and his friends actually cuts and beats the hell out of their foes) not like the old show where it shows maybe once per episode and no one gets actually beaten. Lion-o and the others are strong and they're not overshadowed by their leader, each characters and how they joined Lion-o is a great way to show the audience instead of them just being there as a background figures compared to Lion-o. Character development to fresh origin along with fantastic voice casts, this remakes is deserves the very best praise one can receive. I'm really hoping they'll continue the series because it was just unfair how it ended. 5 stars isnt good enough.The blu-ray is too basic and nothing in the way of extras, no anamorphic menues, no music or scenes from the episode on the menu, its like they didnt even try.Buy this bluray for the show, not for whats in the disc and enjoy this wonderful remake.

They don't make them like they used to! This is a great cartoon to watch for kids as well as adults who want to relive their childhood memories. No issues with playback. Lots of action and very entertaining.

I'm a HUGE fan of the Thundercats, having grown up when the original series was on. Even had some of the toys when I was a kid, (no longer have any unfortunately. ) But..the series was fun, taught lessons and the animation was excellent. I appreciate the fact that this series was done at a time when things weren't computer animated, people animated this show with their hands, the technique for animation for this show and others similar to it, from 1985 to 1992, were still largely done by hand and in a painstaking, to me thoughtful way. The quality and even at times the errors we as viewers sometimes see make it special. Also actors brought these characters to life, so much work to bring these shows to life. Shows like this are worth a watch, and may even teach you a few lessons along the way.

Came in good condition and on time. As far as I can say about this series, it is an epic remake of an original classic. The story starts off the same way as the original, and from there onward the series explores into other new territories and introducing new characters along the way. One of the things that I loved from watching this series is when they explained the origins of the Sword of Omens. Along with great voice acting and story progression, this was a great experience.The only bad thing I can say about the series is that it was unfinished. Even though this did gain a good number of viewers when it aired on cartoon network, but the amount of viewers wasn't enough to call it a success. There are some things that I like about this age of TV entertainment and there are some things that I hate. This is what drives me nuts about the industry today. When it comes to TV shows that actually have great potential and gains a cult following, they're often marked as failure and scrapped because it's not getting enough viewer support. This doesn't make the show a failure it just means that there are areas that need improvement. But is the production company willing to take the time to make those improvements, of course not. :- /

If you’re buying this expecting crisp, high-definition animation that rivals modern Blu-ray releases... congratulations on your optimism, and welcome to disappointment. This is ThunderCats the way the ancient gods (and 1980s broadcast syndication) intended: slightly blurry, wildly dramatic, and entirely awesome.The animation quality varies between “pretty solid” and “wow, they really reused that frame six times,” but again—that’s part of the charm.The packaging is fine. Nothing fancy. It holds discs. That’s its job, and it does it. Barely. If you were expecting collectible art cards or a Sword of Omens replica, you may be confusing this with a deluxe Blu-ray release that doesn’t exist and probably never will.But here’s the thing: despite the grainy visuals, the lackluster extras, and packaging that screams “we had a $27 budget,” this show still rules. The drama, the action, the completely unnecessary yelling of every character’s name during battle—it all holds up in the most gloriously over-the-top way.This set isn’t perfect, but it doesn’t need to be. It’s ThunderCats, and it’s all here. And for fans, that’s more than enough.

A reboot that did everything right. Pay homage to the original material, but also offer something new.

It came on time and the picture is clear and sound is great

I’m an old school cartoon fanatic and I’m pleased to have this disc amongst my collection. The animation and graphics are amazing. So nostalgic!
