Thundercats: Not as good as you think it is.

Ah, this whole remaking childhood crap thing is getting out of hand. I'll be watching the premiere of the new Thundercats cartoon this coming Friday, but I'm not really getting my hopes up. To be honest, I watched Thundercats as a kid, and I think even then I was super-skeptical of things on the show. It just didn't make much sense to me. So, this

holy crap! i did not really like or watch much of the Thundercats, but your synopsis had me on the floor. kids cartoons: yes. they're all like that. i think they should make a movie of thundar the barbarian. that did make sense, in a bizarre, post-apocalyptic way. it was actually a few years before my time but fm found a pirated dvd at a convention and made me watch the whole series and it is priceless.

now, deconstruct other classic cartoons so i can laugh some more. like, what's up with the smurfs?

Ha, we often joke about Ookla the Mock at our house. "Are you mocking me Ookla?" Thundar the Barbarian is a total fav of mine, but I don't know that it would make the best live-action movie.

i didn't say it would be the best live action film, but it certainly could be entertainingly awful :P

I would enjoy the Ookla scenes especially!

It would be more fun than that Smurfs movie seems to be.
Why would they do that? Smurfs make no sense.

BTW, I'll see if I can deconstruct some Smurfs at some point. I post a lot when I'm grading in order to keep from throwing myself on broken glass.

ah the robear berberls, If memory serves they were from another planet(cleverly named robear one or something like that) i remember liking Thundercats because the animation was better then a lot of stuff that was on at the time.
