Thundercats Animated Series Update Back in June , one of the biggest stories to hit the site didn't involve a movie starring Ryan Reynolds, Robert Downey Jr., or any characters from the Marvel or DC universes. It was a story about the Thundercats , believe it or not, and their upcoming return to television in a new animated series. When we first brought you the news about the new "Thundercats" animated series debuting on Cartoon Network in 2011, details were scarce. All we we had was a promotional image of Lion-O and the promise of a "21st century reimagining" of the classic '80s cartoon. That's why I made sure to pick the brain of " Thundercats " producer Michael Jelenic when he dropped by Splash Page HQ during New York Comic Con last month. "It's funny because I've been working on a lot of Batman cartoons the last couple years, and I tell people I have a new Batman cartoon coming out and they're like, 'Cool...'
