Cool clip! Yeah, I’m guessing the twins are also hopped-up on some kind of sugar high from the fruit. And I also like the Berbils’ new “tuck-and-roll” method of transportation.
Looks like my question about how they’re going to do their voices in this version were answered, and it looks like they’re using a vocoder. Cool.
I always did like their voices. They reminded me a little of the old school Cylons from the original Battlestar Galactica. I always thought the Cylons had the coolest robot voices in all of Sci-Fi. One of the reasons BTW that I never quite warmed-up to the new BSG was that the Centurions in that version didn’t speak.
The funny thing is, though, that to me the new Berbils sound even more like the classic Cylons now. I was expecting Ro-Bear Bill to utter “By your command,” at any moment!
Here’s a compilation of Cylon scenes from the old BSG so you can get a better idea of the vocal similarities:
It’s definitely a sugar high. One of the Thundercats 2011 LiveJournal groups posted a link to another trailer for this episode in this entry. (If you aren’t logged into LJ, it will give you the adult content warning, but that’s just because the group membership is set that way. This post is PG and totally worksafe. It just has the trailer.)
Some great animation on the Giantors in that second clip!
Liked the little Nintendo-style powerup noise you heard when the kittens ate the fruit. And yes, I know it’s supposed to be a sugar high, but IMO, it’s also funny to think that it looks like they’re hopped-up on cocaine or meth!
The new preview was excellent, and I was LMAO when Lion-O said “Urble durbley burble urble?” First the Samoflange, now this. They are making lots of tongue-in-cheek references to the old series
Nice touch adding the “burbley-urble-durble”, would be great if they reused the other classic line from the original Berbils episode (with another character replacing Snarf, of course)
Lion-O: "I think they’re called Berbils, Snarf, Ro-Bear Berbils"
Snarf: “That’s not what i’ve been calling them”
Also, how hilarious would it be to see Panthro in a candyfruit induced sugar rush?
I think this episode will be my favorite episode since 1&2.. This has such a nice classic ThunderCats feel to it!! Love the Berbils, Trollogs & Giantors!! I can’t wait!! Urble-durble indeed!
They reminded me more of Eternia or The Whispering Woods on Etheria
Seeing as it is a forest of Mushrooms I’d say Kit and Kat picked some funky Shrooms. Either that or they just had too much Candy Fruit. I still remember to this day the night I was left home alone at the age of 10 with a 6 pack of Jolt Cola. The Phrase Bouncing off the walls was not just a saying that night but an actual event.
After Seeing this they remind me of Hammy on Red Bull in the Over the Hedge Movie.
This looks to be a great episode that’s for sure. The Thunder Kittens sugar high scenes are freaking hilarious. I wonder what the other Thundercats’ reactions to the Thunder Kittens behavior from it would be.
Wow I didn’t realise there would be 3 different clips! :eek: Though it’s likely due to the show having been on hiatus for a few weeks, and they wanted to get the previews out as far and wide as possible so folks know there is a new episode this friday
Two words that I never ever thought I would use in describing Thundercats: “KICK ASS!!!” \m/ \m/ The whole scene was just all kinds of Epic!
Right now, I think the new TCats is among my favorite of current TV shows. It’s tied as my favorite animated show with The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, and is one of my top three favorite shows in general; the other two being Sons of Anarchy and The Walking Dead.
So yeah, the Thundercats are just as awesome as both outlaw bikers and zombies for me!
