Widely regarded by both critics and fans as one of the finest animated series of the last 20 years, ThunderCats debuted in 1985. The series took on many of the themes prevalent in cartoons from its era, by blending elements from sci-fi and fantasy genres, and by putting a strong moral centre at its heart.
The series told of the adventures of the mighty but compassionate warriors known as the ThunderCats, the last survivors of their home planet. The show focussed particularly on the growth and development of the ThunderCats' young leader, Lion-O. Due to spending his adolescence in suspended animation, Lion-O was forced to grow into a man before the eyes of the audience, and this provided both for strong character development and for valuable life lessons to be introduced into the series' storylines.
