"ThunderCats Roar!" – Meet Tygra: Team "Brains" & Lion-O's Teacher – Would Rather Be Reading [VIDEO]
With Cartoon Network and Warner Bros. Animation's reboot of the feline-like alien heroes ThunderCats Roar! making the airwaves with "Exodus Part 1 & 2" next Saturday, February 22, the network's been releasing a series of video "Who's Who" to get everyone up-to-speed on this slightly… ummm… "different" version of the ThunderCats that most of you have been used to.
Starting with ThunderCats team leader, Lion-O, we we're then given a look at Cheetara, super-speedster whose keen mind keeps her one step ahead of Mumm-Ra. From there, we met Panthro, the team's muscle but also a master fixer – so who's up next?
Meet Tygra, the "brains" behind the team and the one charged with making Lion-O a better leader.
Oh boy…
Staying true to the original series' premise, Lion-O, Tygra, Panthro, Cheetara, Wilykat, and Wilykit — The ThunderCats – barely escape the sudden destruction of their home world, Thundera, only to crash land on the mysterious and exotic planet of Third Earth. Lion-O attempts to lead the team as they make this planet their new home. A bizarre host of creatures and villains stand in their way, including the evil Mumm-Ra, Third Earth's wicked ruler who will let nothing, including the ThunderCats, stop his tyrannical reign over the planet.
"ThunderCats Roar!" season 1, episode 1 "Exodus: Part 1 & 2" – Fleeing the destruction of their home planet Thundera, Lion-O and the ThunderCats land on the mysterious, dangerous, all-around awesome world of Third Earth! But their enemies, the Mutants of Plun-Darr have followed them and it turns out Third Earth already has a Mumm-Ra problem, can Lion-O learn the ropes of being a leader in time?
