Thundercats is an American/Japanese animated television series, produced by Ethan Spaulding and Michael Jelenic. A reboot of the original 1980's TV series with the same name (which ran from 1985 to 1989), Thundercats was developed by Warner Bros. Animation and Studio 4°C, and combined elements of western animation, with Japanese anime.

Following the destruction of their home, the kingdom of Thundera, the ThunderCats (a group of humanoid cats) are forced to roam the planet Third Earth, in order to find a way to defeat the evil sorcerer Mumm-Ra, who plans on taking over the universe. Story-wise the series takes a much darker and more cinematic approach than the original show, featuring a lot more focus on characterization and more sophisticated themes.

The series began with an hour-long premiere on Cartoon Network on July 29, 2011, and received very positive reviews, with many praising the animation and storyline. Thundercats has not been renewed for a second season, leaving the show in limbo. Currently the show is officially on hiatus.

Plot
 On the planet known as Third Earth, the cats have lived and thrived for generations in the kingdom of Thundera. However, one night the kingdom is attacked by the Lizard army, led by the evil sorcerer Mumm-Ra. With them, the lizards bring technology, a concept unfamiliar to the cats. Because of this, Thundera is destroyed, but a small band of surviving Thunderians, led by the young heir to the throne, Lion-O (who wields the powerful Sword of Omens), flee the destroyed city, in order to seek out the Book of Omens, which is said to have the knowledge needed to defeat Mumm-Ra. Once they find it, the ThunderCats realize that in order for them to defeat Mumm-Ra, they must unite all the different species living on Third Earth. The ThunderCats also find out that they have to find three stones of power which, if found by Mumm-Ra, will give him power to become the most powerful being in the universe.
