2. THUNDERCATS
Who can ever question the popularity of the Thundercats? Hooooooooooo!!!. the Thun-thunder-thundering action filled animation sequences were breath taking that it even surpassed the abilities of the Super Friends and the Masters of the Universe with their cunning moves, agility and cat-like features. It’s such a wonder to behold those animated cat-people jumping and tumbling all over the screen as if they are lightweight rubber bands being sligshot from the ground to the top of the trees. One secret of a successful Cartoon series is its inclusion of origin. Kids are very inquisitive when it comes to the genesis of a particular character “where did they come from?”, “What planet are they from?”. “who is that?” etc. etc. Unlike other Cartoon series that just came out of the boob-tube having ambiguous and mysterious histories, The Thundercats however gave its kid audience a feel of being with the characters from start to finish. Of all the hundreds of 80’s cartoons produced during that era, it was only Transformers, He-Man and The Thundercats that gave a clear and well told origin of their existence. This somehow enabled the kids to relate with them and journey with them in Television. One factor that also made the Thundercats a hit is because of its element of Lion-O being a Child. The show gave the kids what it feels like to be forced to grow up and being given responsibilities that seem to be too much of a task for kid Lion-O. The Era of the 80’s as I have mentioned earlier is the era were kids really enjoyed their childhood years and somehow also learned in their various houses the responsibility and discipline suited for their ages. Thundercats has all the elements of being a kid in the 80’s. Another factor why Thundercats became so popular is because of its divergence from the stereotypes. Most of the Action cartoons run in the same genre of being military inspired, robo-inspired or scifi-triggered Cartoons. Thundercats was not one of them. Thundercats was a mixture of Medieval lore, fantasy and Sci-fi action rolled into one. If there are any evidence of futuristic gadgets and vehicles on the show, yet it was not the corner stone of the storyline. In the US, Thundercats was developed and produced by Rankin/Bass Productions, debuting in 1985, based on the characters created by Tobin “Ted” Wolf. It was first syndicated in 1985 (65 episodes), followed by a TV movie entitled ThunderCats - HO! in 1986. Seasons 2, 3, and 4 followed a new format of twenty episodes each, starting with a five-part story; these aired from 1987 to 1990. Popular Characters of the Thundercats were Lion-O, Jaga, Tygra, Panthro, Cheetara, Willy-kit, Willy-kat, Snarf, Mum-Ra and the Evil Mutants.

yeah! I’m loving this post bluep. Though most of the cartoons you featured I’m not even aware of because I’m one of those poor kids whose home didn’t have a tv set kaya nakikipanood lang lagi. I only got to catch up on these series when torrents and the likes became available in the internet. Pero bakit puro “poor kids” cartoon versions ang fineature mo? hahaha
one bioman, I always play the role of Green 2 with perfect mimicry of his green boomerang. hahaha, and I won’t allow myself to take the role of Peebo. Lols!
subconsciously, my favorite cartoon villain back then is Shadow Weaver. I liked it’s hand movements when creating spells. hahaha
