ANIMATION ANSWERS THE CALL WITH A  NEW TAKE ON THE CLASSIC ANIMATED SERIES  “THUNDERCATS,” TO AIR ON CARTOON NETWORK(June 3, 2010 – Burbank, CA) – Warner Bros. Animation (WBA) has begun  production on “ThunderCats,” an all-new animated series for Cartoon  Network, based upon the iconic 1980s action classic. “ThunderCats” is  the newest series from WBA, joining “Batman: The Brave and the Bold,”  which was recently renewed for a third season, and the following  forthcoming programs: “The Looney Tunes Show,” “MAD,” “Scooby-Doo!  Mystery Incorporated” and “Young Justice.” The announcement was made  today by Sam Register, Executive Vice President, Creative Affairs,  Warner Bros. Animation. “In addition to being Warner Bros. Animation’s first anime series,  ‘ThunderCats’ marks our most ambitious foray yet into fantasy,” said  Register. “The realism and dynamic visual style we’ve achieved are sure  to thrill viewers, and the cool weapons, vehicles and technology should  help the show appeal to a diverse audience.” The 21st century reimagining of the series marks a  creative collaboration between WBA and Studio4°C, one of the most  vibrant animation studios in Japan, with credits including “The  Animatrix,” “Gotham Knights” and “Halo Legends.” WBA is working closely  with Studio4°C, utilizing the latter’s expertise to give the  “ThunderCats” characters a new cutting-edge look while remaining true to  the compelling storylines and mythology of the original series. “We at Studio4°C are excited to be in this creative partnership with  Warner Bros. Animation to bring ‘ThunderCats’ to life,” said Eiko  Tanaka, President and CEO, Studio4°C. “This collaboration combines the  strengths of our two companies – high production values and great  storytelling – toward reintroducing this classic fan-favorite to a new  audience.” Roaring to life through WBA and Studio4°C’s use of the Japanese  animated artistry of anime, “ThunderCats” characters Lion-O, Mumm-Ra,  Panthro, Cheetara and others will spring off the screen with realistic  cat-like characteristics inconceivable in previous incarnations. The new “ThunderCats” willappeal to viewers who have loved  the characters all their lives as well as young newcomers to the  franchise. A sweeping tale combining swords and science and boasting  ferocious battles with the highest of stakes, the grand origin story of  Prince Lion-O’s ascension to the throne – and of those who would thwart  his destiny at any cost – takes on epic dimensions in this sharp new  telling. As the forces of good and evil battle each other in the quest  for the fabled Stones of Power, Lion-O and his champions learn valuable  lessons of loyalty, honor and mortality in every episode. “ThunderCats” is executive produced by Sam Register (“Teen Titans,”  “Ben 10,” “Batman: The Brave and the Bold”). Michael Jelenic (“Batman:  The Brave and the Bold,” “Wonder Woman”) and Ethan Spaulding (“Avatar:  The Last Airbender”) are the producers.</blockquote>
