Watching ThunderCats for homework in the 80s.

This is really interesting information.

I can hardly imagine how cool this would have been! I believe it mentioned free toys too! School doesn’t get much better than that.

I do hope this sort of thing still goes on today with other knowledge charged contemporary shows… hopefully in a way that doesn’t make the kids feel like they were being “conned” into learning. For it’s low budget and goofiness, this show manages to impress me with ways that it tried to innovate and contribute to human betterment.
