Sadly, most of the fans of these cartoons are now of an age where they can produce/make films; and we get Speed Racer greenlit.
Ain't that the truth. I didn't watch the SR movie because it looked awful to me but I loved the cartoon.
A Thundercats movie done right is so in the realm of possibilities that I'm sure one of us 80's kids that's in the biz will do it. It's no more far fetched than a lot of what's being done already.

Ah....Speed Racer. Now theres a show I did like. I also enjoyed the movie as a purely visual treat.
It's all about story and context. If you take Thundercats characters and put them into an epic story of LOTR quality, it wouldn't matter what the characters are. No one will give a ^^^^ about them being cats if they're delivering engaging performances.
The key is that if someone decides to make a movie, they are hopefully committed to investing a lot of time and work into it. Not having the thought hit them summer 2009 and releasing summer 2010, that has fail written all over it.

Is it entertaining enough visually to sit through? How's the story? I was afraid to risk it.

there is a story....but the whole film is just really....really long. Drags a bit. But its just amazing to watch.
I agree. But to make it quality it may end up bearing little to no resemblance to its cartoon self.

Oh, I've been there myself man... At least you admitted it.
We can't all be cool and like Thundercats.

I don't know, Thundercats just seems like He-Man with 'furries', even down to the villian (both Mumm-Ra and Skeletor are based on popular undead archetypes). And the Thundercats themselves don't look as interesting as the He-Man characters, which have the potential for a pretty amazing sci-fi/fantasy mix. I dunno, I just think a liveaction movie of Thundercats would be pointless and only for the eighties kids that grew up on it.
X-Men already had pretty mature elements (like the extreme 'racism' from both sides) and they severely changed the costumes. I honestly don't see what they could do with the Thundercats to make them look more interesting without having the fanboys ^^^^^.
I didn't grow up on He-Man but I think that's cool and has a lot of potential.
Did you see that new GI Joe figure of Matt Tracker? No Thunderhawk though.
And ^^^^ yes, MASK, now THERE'S a lot of potential for a kickass movie.
Pretty much.
And damn guys, leave CelticP alone already.
Come on people! With the technology and talented artists out there, They could transform Thunder Cats onto the Big screen in style. Look at x-men. It didn't look comical. I think it could be done- if all the haters could just see the vision.

What's this about now?
X-Men is visually very departed from the cartoons but it worked. Like I've said, you can go right or wrong with a material like this, but if done right, even a departure will win fans to come see it, and new audiences that don't know the cartoon can just learn a new Thundercats.

That's wierd. Almost looks like a custom. I don't think it really has anything to do with M.A.S.K. though. Trakker appears to be a code name and not "Matt Trakker".

It is a real figure (Joe fans are even complaining that it took the place of a ' real' Joe), the bio even incorporates how MASK is a freelance organization working together with the Joes while Venom is a branchoff from Cobra. This is just a one time homage, though, just something fun Hasbro wanted to do.

That's interesting. I wish they'd do a larger scale Matt with Thunderhawk set that was true to the original. I'd love to have a working, more detailed version.
