HEAR THE ROAR!
HEAR THE ROAR! THE UNOFFICIAL AND UNAUTHORISED GUIDE TO THE HIT 1980S SERIES THUNDERCATS
by DAVID CRICHTON
Originally broadcast in 1985, ThunderCats has become one of the most enduring animated series of its era. For the first time in print, Hear the Roar! documents every aspect of the production of this iconic show – told by the people who made it.
Featuring over 80 exclusive interviews with cast and crew members, this definitive reference guide charts ThunderCats' creation and development, drawing on a wealth of never-before-seen production paperwork and leaving no stone unturned.
Dedicated chapters highlight the writing, animating, scoring and recording of ThunderCats, while a comprehensive story guide reviews all 130 episodes, including notes from the scriptwriters themselves! The legendary ThunderCats toy line from LJN Toys is documented too, and even the associated series SilverHawks is explored.
This essential guide to ThunderCats demonstrates why the show continues to thrive, while many of its contemporaries have faded into obscurity.

NEW series in 2011....
I have heard talk of a new series or movie of the classic RANKIN/BASS series THUNDERCATS for a very long time. I guess this is what WARNER BROS came up with and it will air on CARTOON NETWORK in 2011. I am not going to comment on the series. All I have to say is, I hope WB pays Arthur Rankin, Jr. what they owe him and the rest of the creators in the original series.Monday, March 22, 2010

RANKIN/BASS' LION-O from THUNDERCATS!
HARD HERO presents the first statue from the long awaited THUNDERCATS! This cold-cast porcelain statue stands approximately 14 inches tall and is fully painted and ready for display! Looks good! They definitely got a good sculptor on this! Hopefully, WARNER BROS will send ARTHUR RANKIN his money from this and other THUNDERCATS revenue.
