Interesting Facts about Thundercats

Thundercats is a 1985 television show that was revived in 2011. Hugely popular and selling many toys at the time, it is a show based around a group of aliens that look half-cat and half-human. They have incredible powers and spend much of the show trying to make friends with humans on earth, and battling the mutants that they consider their enemy. Mumm-ra is their mortal enemy and the cause of much of the danger in the show.
