Some more clarification on the Ninjago Chima thing. As of a few seasons ago, the realms all merged together so the Wyldness is technically now a part of Ninjago’s Universe. But as you said the chances of a dedicated Chima crossover is low, more like Ninjago can play around with their world & maybe do a cameo or two (like Ras being a new animal race or the beavers appearing in Ninjago)

I remember watching the show and discovered LEGO Chima playsets from a kids magazine. It's like a LEGO's take on _Thundercats_ and _Rimba Racers_ fused together. It's such a shame that this is the same show that is responsible for replacing _Thundercats_ 2011 series on CN.

[@Ihartwalrusguy]

I heard a rumor that Chima was originally a full blown LEGO theme based on Thundercats 2011 but due to the cancellation of the TV show it was made into its own theme.

[@LlamaWarrior101]

According to an interview with one of the main creators, the show was actually inspired by He-man, and they didn't even know about Thundercats when development started

[@rejectclone4504]

This is such a massive faux rumor that keeps getting regurgitated!!! 😭 NO, this theme did not lead to the Thundercats 11’ reboot to be cancelled! It was due to CN’s push to focus more on live action content (which became the ‘CN Real’ block, with Destroy Build Destroy, Dude What Would Happen, etc) and the pullback on action cartoons. Alongside Thundercats 11’, other action cartoon series such as Sym-Bionic Titan and Generator Rex were cut short, due to this change in the channel’s focus at the time.
