Tv on DVD: Thundercats - More '80s Classic Cartoons Arrive In August!

In a distant galaxy, the world of Thundera is in crisis. The planet's structure has become unstable and is near collapse. With their destruction imminent, Thundera's denizens - known as the Thundercats - escape in a spaceship and plot a course for a new home. While in transit, the Thundercats are attacked by evil mutants and their craft is irreparably damaged. Jaga, the eldest Thundercat, sacrifices himself in order to pilot the ship safely to its destination: Third Earth.

He-Man DVDs are coming in July, and fans of classic '80s cartoons could not be happier...unless you gave them a second classic '80s cartoon on DVD just a few weeks later! Warner Home Video is announcing the August 9th release of Thundercats - Season 1, Volume 1, carrying 33 episodes: an even half of the first season of the adventurous animated show.

You'll also find a cool extra on this set: "Feel the Magic, Hear the Roar: ThunderCats Fans Speak Out", an interview featurette in which Wil Wheaton (of Star Trek: The Next Generation) and other loyal fans give their memories and support to this animation classic. That supplement runs 7:04, and the running time of the episodes comes to 759 minutes.

Cost is $64.92 SRP. This is the first of two releases to complete the 65-episode season premiere, and you can expect Season 1, Volume 2 to be available later this Fall, to complete the first full season! Stay tuned for more information about that, and cover art for this release as well.

Snarf!

If I hadn't seen a few episodes of this recently that showed me how absolutely crappy this was (along with most 80's cartoons), I'd be real happy. I think of how I used to love this stuff and wonder how I can still think in a straight line watching that garbage.

Don't get me wrong. When I was watching it in the 80's, I loved it and can still stand it as background noise but most 80's materail is stuff I'll be passing on.
