Cartoon & Comic Updates!

The wait is finally over! The TCL Team has been working hard behind the scenes to give you guys a ton of amazing content to enjoy!!

First up, the Animation Art & Cartoon Sections…
We got our hands on some amazing Animation Guide Sheets and it is definitely a treat to see as it gives us a small glimpse to what went on behind the scenes! Check it out!

Also in the Animation Art section, we’ve reposted our exclusive Pilot Material which is as close as we’ll get to the ThunderCats series bible! If you haven’t seen these yet, it is definitely a must-see!

In the Cartoon section, the Scripts subsection now has full scripts of five episodes from the series!

New promotional photos from the show, created and sent out by Rankin-Bass are also now viewable!

Get to know a little more about the talented voice actors from the show by reading Martin’s “About the Voice Actors” article! Definitely a must-read!

In addition, we also have another article titled, “Anime Wilykit!,” showcasing a sequence and solidifying the series’ Japanese animation origins!

Lastly, we have four new additions to the Episode Guide! Synopsis’, reviews, interesting tidbits screenshots, and fan opinions are provided for every episode!

For Comic Fans…

The DC/Wildstorm subsection is up, complete with write-ups for the first six issues, and showcasing both the regular and variant covers for the first DC/Wildstorm mini-series!! Each page contains a detailed summary of the issue, notes of interest, and an overall review including the positive and negative aspects of the issue. Lots of great stuff!!

Feedback is always welcome and appreciated!

Those WilyKit pics don’t look ‘anime’ to me http://www.thundercatslair.org/forums/images/icons/icon13.gif

Chris here…

Thanks for that constructive critique - as far as I’m concerned, those shots do look closer to Japanese anime than the overall look of the rest of the series (and indeed, that episode in particular). Obviously compared to a show like Dragonball Z then no they don’t look particularly anime, but for me they have a heavy anime influence when taken in context with the rest of the series, which certainly made me sit up and take notice… :slight_smile:

Hopefully you enjoyed the rest of the updates, anyway! :wink:

Take care… :slight_smile:

Well, it might not have full anime qualities, but the facial expressions are uncharacteristic for WilyKit thus giving it a type of anime flair. I mean, if you really think about it, ThunderCats was produced by a Japanese animation studio…so it is technically an anime with western influences.

The updates are great, and I absolutely love all the time, hard work, and new things that you guys have put into this site! You all rock, and I have to say IMO that that Wilykit pic does look anime to me… (by the way, I like the DC/Wildstorm comics section- it looks great Chris - you rock!) Thank you for making this a great place to come and enjoy.

those animation guide sheets are wonderful!!! i don’t think a lot of ppl realize how much time, effort, creativity & HARD WORK this kind of stuff takes. kudos for your connection w/ the taiwanese guy who hooked you up w/ these!

know when the storyboards section will be up?
