A couple of months ago, a low-quality trailer hit the web for Cartoon Network‘s upcoming Thundercats reboot, which was pretty cool. However, this weekend in San Francisco, CA, an even better, all-new trailer debuted at WonderCon, which you can now watch online in HD over at Cartoon Network’s Facebook page.
Based on the sheer epic awesomeness of this trailer, this is going to blow away fans of the original series. Click here for the trailer, and hit the jump for a few screen grabs as well as the official plot synopsis!
Official Synopsis (via Warner Brothers):
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.
