It seems like Cartoon Network have been talking about reviving the old 80's season for a while, but it's only since last month when we got the green light and the official trailer for their plan;
The animation is provided by Studio4°C, those responsible for the works behind Kid's Story in The Animatrix, Transformers: Animated, Halo:Legends and Batman - Gotham Knight.
Though I dread this is going to give me the same idea as the reboot of He:Man, it seems at least promising. Obviously there are a few storyline changes; such as Thundara actually being a city/civilization on Third Earth, and not it's own planet. Lion-O is actually a young kid and grows up facing his challenges, rather then his capsule failing in the original series causing him to be just as old as the rest of the cast.
Other then that, obviously the character designs have changed. Panthro actually looks like a walking tank, Snarf looks even more like a Pokemon (promised also to be less annoying then in the original series), and the design for Cheetara is simply fantastic. For those wondering, Lion-O's voice actor will be in the series, but as his father rather then being Lion-O.
What are people's thoughts? A successful revive, or another shoddy reboot?
