Thundercats being resurrected for the modern audience

http://geek-news.mtv.com/2011/01/26/new-official-thundercats-cartoon-image/

Official Press Release:

" Roaring to life through WBA and Studio4°C's use of the Japanese animated artistry of anime, "ThunderCats" characters Lion-O, Mumm-Ra, Panthro, Cheetara and others will spring off the screen with realistic cat-like characteristics inconceivable in previous incarnations.

The new "ThunderCats" will appeal to viewers who have loved the characters all their lives as well as young newcomers to the franchise. A sweeping tale combining swords and science and boasting ferocious battles with the highest of stakes, the grand origin story of Prince Lion-O's ascension to the throne - and of those who would thwart his destiny at any cost - takes on epic dimensions in this sharp new telling. As the forces of good and evil battle each other in the quest for the fabled Stones of Power, Lion-O and his champions learn valuable lessons of loyalty, honor and mortality in every episode.

"ThunderCats" is executive produced by Sam Register ("Teen Titans," "Ben 10," "Batman: The Brave and the Bold"). Michael Jelenic ("Batman: The Brave and the Bold," "Wonder Woman") and Ethan Spaulding ("Avatar: The Last Airbender") are the producers."

Any thoughts on this? I know some diehard TC fans that hate this news while others, especially seeing who is on the production team, are hopeful. How about you all?

Oh yeah I forgot all about that..I remember seeing Thundercats on Tonnami when I was a kid. I also remember Cartoon Network's remake of He-Man that they did back in 2004 and that show failed miserably.

"I think Thundercats jumped the shark the day it was pitched as an idea." - Geoff Ramsey of Rooster Teeth Productions.

I think that some of these '80s series that died out then should probably be left there. I didn't really care for the 2002 relaunch of Masters of the Universe either, and it didn't last long. Most of those shows don't really hold up when you revisit them years and years later, either. This probably won't appeal much to the die hard fans, and I'm not sure that it will resonate much with younger audiences either.
