Thundercats started as an animated series in 1985, it explains the adventures of a group of extraterrestrial humanoid felines fleeing the destruction of their home planet Thundera. The story was created and written by Theodore Walter “Tobin” Wolf and Leonard Starr. And produced by Rankin/Bass Productions, the same company that created the Silverhawks (Halcones Galácticos) and TygerSharks (Los Tigres del Mar). The series ran for 4 seasons and was a hit with the children of the time. Subsequently, several comics produced by DC came out, where they expanded the story of the original series and where they even dared to make a “cross-over” with Masters of the Univers.
In 2011 a new animated series was produced by Cartoon Network that was also well received by fans, although it was cancelled after the first season.
