ThunderCats Intro [HD]

The 1985 Cartoon Intro Video

[@michaelphillips7556]

That's how you do an intro.

[@thomaskphillips2582]

I was 1980 I remember watching this in 1980s when I was young from Ireland

[@TheReelNerdyReview]

Hell yeah

[@jsasiga1688]

Never did like thunder cats as a show...but I always watched the intro, it was just too badass.

[@jessstuart7495]

Wrrraaaaahhhhhhhhh! Perfectly describes how I feel about my coworkers on some days.

[@donorthodox]

Yessir

[@SDRockman]

The coolest font to exist in the entire history of mankind.

[@dokanyon]

and the coolest logo

[@debradoherty9143]

I've just bought a thundercats neon logo sign for my man cave off of eBay. Looks great!😁

[@thatboijoshua9712]

Yes Im only 11 but i jused to watch This with my dad when i was 6 and then i mean the old series

[@thevillageyid]

Seriously, this animation is better than most of the shit we see today.

[@jachk9897]

Did you watch the actual show though? It was so bad it was almost laughable.. scratch that I did laugh. But I am kinda biased, based on my profile pic you can probably tell what my preference is. Although this is definitely one of the greatest american theme songs period

[@thevillageyid]

I meant the animation for the intro.

[@DelNiceBeto]

I remeber seeing this for the first time thinking it was gonna be badass but then getting an animatic for the actual show.

[@yafflehk]

That's because the intro was produced by Topcraft, a japanese company, many of who's animators went on to form studio Ghibli, who didn't work on the rest of the show, unfortunately.

[@pookiepook7351]

It was false advertising. The show's content themselves were typically slow herky jerky motion. The intro was designed to sucker us into watching. They knew what they were doing, the pricks.

[@julianprasaja2227]

Admit it, sometime in the past, we ALL had a crush on Cheetara.

[@Wolf10media]

Cause she was the adult female of the group. Little boys had crush on adult women more so than little girls. Admit it , no boy ever cared about Wily Kitt

[@julianprasaja2227]

you damn right, sir

[@astro2050]

She was ok, but I was in love with Pumyra.

[@FrostyCheri32]

Yes

[@edubogota1]

I fucking admit it.

[@shootingzen28fav]

I showed this to my six year old son, and he was in awe. So looks like we'll be watching Thundercats from on

[@echodigger]

33 years later and that intro still hypes me up. 80's and early 90's were the golden age for Saturday morning and daily cartoons.

[@scottyunitedboy2925]

definitely...Thundercats, Turtles, Raccoons, Ducktales, Goof Troop, Rugrats...could go on forever...

[@Voldoslawn]

One of the best intro ever. I still hear this intro and get all pumped up. Lol, 0:19 When i was kid I remember looking up as if i was looking at the symbol in the sky.

[@ericfrost7517]

Lmfao And I thought I was the only kid that did that!! Best intro ever

[@girlbuu9403]

It comes from an era of amazing intros and theme songs, and managed to be the best. The 80s were like Salusa Secundus of cartoon intros and this one came out on top.

[@ottosantiagolassus]

We had an awesome childhood Am I right or am I right👍

[@honeydew4528]

Shh my child, I will not let roar ruin you _not today_

[@gotDesign]

Best fucking intro of all cartoons, period. Animated by Japanese animation studio Pacific Animation Corporation.

[@herbvl28]

i agree

[@GinHindew110]

MumRa: "ancients spirits of evil, transform this decaying form into MumRa, The Inmortaaaaaal!!!" Pikachu: "Pika, pika!" Parents: "OMG Pokemon is so satanic!"

[@edwardgaines6561]

[@negainsectwhite]

[@andrewtodaro2874]

Yeah! Such a stupid age of reboots!

[@Sight-Beyond-Sight]

The 2011 reboot at first had me rolling my eyes, but it was not as bad as I was expecting. Pissed me off that they did one season then axed it. It had great potential to be a (ugh... I can't believe I am actually saying this) a reasonable reboot.

[@luisrobles422]

Disappointing it was, i tell you...

[@danielclark1614]

This intro still gives me goosebumps. This IS my childhood. Had all the action figures too.❤

[@actuary33]

Getting chills as im watching. I had forgotten how much fun the world was once was

[@datriadx18]

In my humble opinion, this is still of the greatest opening themes of all time. I remember jumping all over the sofas in our living room because this used to get me so amped. Such a simpler time that I am forever grateful for.

[@gasemad20]

El mejor intro de todos los tiempos, no entiendo porqué hasta la fecha no han producido una película con estos fabulosos personajes que nos cautivaron en plena década de los 80.

[@jesuselchido]

Justo por qué como está la animación actual podrían hacer una falta de respeto total a la serie, como ejemplos de ello el terrible reebot que fue Thundercats roarh

[@Siddhartha10100]

por que harian una porqueria. y mancharia el legado

[@plantaslove]

Porque los van a destruí con tantos cambios que les haran a leono lo volverán negro y a mujer la harán lesbiana y meterán a la comunidad LGBT

[@arturoescorcia]

Porque lo han intentado varias veces y no han podido replicar la magia. Lo mas cercano fue el anime que produjo warner bros y que desgraciadamente terminó cancelando debido a un negocio que tenia con Lego. Cartoon Network terminó haciendo una completa blasfemia con Thundercats Roar y la indignación de los fans fue tal que terminaron cancelando.

[@alexcooper1154]

Best cartoon opening theme song ever!

[@LazyPirate8]

2011 reboot died in vain.

[@First.985]

Ice King I was referring to the original and the new reboot. The 2011 one was pretty epic, too bad when that one came out people complained about the art style too saying it was “gay ass wannabe anime”. People just can’t be happy about anything smh

[@Batman43221]

Igor Those idiots don't know it was animated by an actual Japanese studio, Studio 4℃. The original was animated by Japanese studios as well, those studios were Topcraft, the predecessor to Studio Ghibli, and Pacific Animation Corporation, which became Walt Disney Animation Japan. Kids these days, am I right?

[@rosannahawkins6853]

Who else keeps putting it on repeat? No matter how times I go away, I keep coming back to this intro.

[@User-VerseS]

To this day, the animation (especially the Intro) for something made over 30 years ago looks amazing. Now we got this reject Thundercats Roar crap coming next year. I thought it was a parody cartoon when I saw that. ╰_╯

Back in the day when the intros were a million times more awesome than the actually show and its slug-like pacing.

I rewatched some episodes and it wasn't too bad. Animations weren't very good but the things that happened were quirky in a sort of respectable way.

This intro is a masterpiece of animation!

[@rablablook1720]

The intro of that despicable reboot is no where near this amazing piece of animation greatness.

[@cartmansfat123]

Rab lablook Well the reality of this situation is that the original episodes of the 80s are still no where near the animation quality of the reboot. Do you really think that actual episodes match the quality of this intro?

[@rablablook1720]

In terms of this intro, it is great. But I am not afraid to admit that the 2011 reboot had better quality in terms of the actual episode's animation, action and drama, and to this day still far surpassing Thundercats Roar's quality.

[@domonicredmond1894]

What intro it hardly went on for 5 seconds
