霹雳猫

The anime tells the story of the cat-faced, human-bodied Lion-O, Tygra, Panthro, and Cheetara, who flee their doomed homeland of Thundera and arrive on Third Earth, where they battle the evil sorcerer Mumm-Ra. The 130-episode TV anime "ThunderCats," which first aired in 1985, was a US-Japan co-production, though it was not broadcast in Japan at the time. The Japanese animation company involved in its production, Topcraft, was actually the predecessor of Studio Ghibli. While many may not be familiar with this company, Topcraft, along with director Hayao Miyazaki and producer Isao Takahata, successfully released the theatrical film "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind," which became a classic in film history. This led to the financier of "Nausicaä," Tokuma Shoten, decisively restructuring Topcraft into Studio Ghibli, allowing us to enjoy the subsequent series of Ghibli films. "ThunderCats" is a cartoon series that aired in the United States in the 1980s, spanning two seasons and 130 episodes. In 1997, Cartoon Network aired a new version of the "ThunderCats" cartoon, reigniting the "ThunderCats" craze. As for the "ThunderCats" comic series, there are also many versions. The MARVEL series ran from 1985 to 1988, and DC's subsidiary Wildstorm began publishing two series of "ThunderCats" comics in 2003. Following "Transformers" and "He-Man," Warner Bros. announced in 2007 that it would adapt the 1980s American animated series "ThunderCats" into a live-action film. It is reported that Warner has purchased the script by newcomer writer Paul Sopocy and handed production to Spring Creek Productions. According to sources, the film's plot will focus on how Lion-O becomes the leader of the ThunderCats.
