Like the original ThunderCats (1985), this new version is based on a line of sword-and-sorcery toys and action figures. As the adventure continues, Lion-O, Tygra, Panthro, Cheetara, WilyKit, and WilyKat pursue the magical stones that will enable them to reestablish the feline kingdom and defeat the evil Mumm-Ra and his minions. In the early episodes, the ThunderCats aid the Berbils, a group of robotic teddy bears, and a tribe of philosophical elephants who talk like Apu in The Simpsons. Both groups prove to be valuable allies, despite their seemingly harmless appearance. But most of these episodes focus on the sibling rivalry between Lion-O and Tygra. As the older brother, Tygra feels he should be the heir to the throne; Cheetara's announcement that she loves Tygra upsets Lion-O. When Lion-O inadvertently leads his friends into an ambush, he risks his life and soul to win their safety in a contrived series of didactic trials. Despite the guns, quarterstaves, nunchucks, tanks, ray guns, and martial arts moves, American TV restrictions on violence reduce the battles to ineffectual feints and explosions. (Not rated: suitable for ages 8 and older; violence) --Charles Solomon
(9. Berbils, 10. Sight Beyond Sight, 11. The Forest of Magi Oar, 12. Into the Astral Plane, 13. Between Brothers, 14. New Alliances, 15. The Trials of Lion-O (Part One), 16. The Trials of Lion-O (Part Two))

I have to say I am very pleased with the reboot of the series. I am a little say that it is on the chopping block for cancellation.
The voice work is superb, as is the art style. As I grew up with the original show that I swear was voiced by 3 people it is fantastic that they have a full staff of voice artists doing the characters (If you have heard the original screeching voices you will understand). The artwork is top notch clean animations and easy to follow during action scenes. Good story as well very deep considering the audience it was intended for.
all in all a great buy in my opinion.

I just have to say that I am amazed!! Most "reboots" of older cartoons are very bad (like GI Joe) are just running on the popularity of the old ones. This is done very well and is awesome! Almost letting Lion-O grow up and learning responsibility of being Lord of the Thundercats. His rivalry with Tigra is pretty intense and interesting. I hope that they don't blow it, either! Good job!!

Awesome art and storyline. A must for kids of all ages for lessons to be learned. These episodes show a continuing quest by Lion-o and the rest of the Thundercats to rebuild their lives after the terrible defeat by Mumm-ra and the Lizards!

great reiteration of an old series
What a great reiteration of an old series. Unfortunately if I'm correct the series was canceled after this season, although I have no idea why.
