2011 Series Cast and Crew Interviews

When Cartoon Network launched the 2011 ThunderCats reboot, the cast and crew spent the press cycle making the rounds. Warner Bros. Animation, MTV Geek, Collider and the broadcast networks all sat down with the talent behind the new series, and the resulting interviews give the clearest contemporaneous look at what the production team set out to do. Below are the six video interviews thundercats.org curated at the time, restored here with working links. Click any thumbnail to watch the interview inline.
