Thundercats was one of the best shows to come out of the 80s (Transformers being at the top), and one every fan has been eagerly awaiting to hit DVD.

Months ago, WB finally announced they would be releasing the series in a total of four box sets (33/32/33/32), which had everyone cheering for the return of one of their favories shows, in top notch DVD quality. Most of all, they were given a SRP of $64.99, thus guaranteeing the episodes must be remastered. Unfortunately, this is not the case.
For a SRP of $64.99, you get 33 episodes on six discs, but without any remastering done whatsoever. What was WB thinking? Not only do the episodes look like they were dumped down from VHS tapes (giving it a bootleg quality appearance), but there are a mass amount of errors throughout the episodes themselves. One of the major issues is with the second episode, “Unholy Alliance,” which is missing all of the music (sans the opening and closing) during the episodes. However, this is only the case in the English track as both the Spanish and French versions have the music playing. Whatever the reason is, this is totally unacceptable. Hopefully WB will issue a recall and offer replacement discs.

The next negative to this set is that it is definitely no where near woth a SRP of $64.99. Yes, you can buy them cheaper online or at a retail store, but if you pay more than $30-35 for this set, then you were just ripped off. You could buy a DVD-R bootleg (not that you should) off ebay of the entire series in the same quality (if not better) for $15 more.
With other 80’s shows, coming out (or have already been released) with a beautiful remastered print, and 5.1 audio, this makes this buy even worse than it seemed before. Why couldn’t WB let Rhino handle this? Rhino may have their own faults, but at least they know how to NOT mess up a release THIS bad. Not to mention Rhino would have remastered the prints and mastera a 5.1 track, while this just has a less-than-satisfying-and-boring mono soundtrack.
So if you have not bought this set yet, hold off until WB fixes the set’s glitches or lowers the SRP. Also, let’s hope they do a much better job with Volume 2 when it comes out in Dec than they did with this. I love Thundercats, I am happy to own it on DVD and replace my tapes from Toonami, however, the price is unacceptable for a crappy release as this.
WB, Thundercats deserves to be treated just with respect as you have done so with Looney Tunes, and as much as Rhino did so with Transformers!
At long last, the DVD set we’ve all been waiting for since 1985: Thunder-Thunder-Thunder-ThunderCats! I don’t have to tell you the ThunderCats was/is/and always will be the absolute finest animated series ever produced. Unfortunately, however, this release comes with a couple of flaws. On the plus side, the set consists of 6 single-sided discs - not those hated “flippers” as originally reported. The box/case art is sensational; you’ll be proud to display this on your DVD shelf. The picture quality is pretty good most of the time; the mono sound is just OK. BUT, the most important episodes in the series, the first and the second, are botched! In the early part of “Exodus,” the picture sort of starts to roll for a few seconds while Jaga is talking to Lion-O after the destruction of Thundera. This alone is enough to make a person think they’ve got a defective disc, but the most jarring glitch doesn’t show up till the second episode (for which NO TITLE appears on the screen). Yes, fellow super-fans, it appears that Monkian was at the controls during the transfer of “Unholy Alliance” from VHS to DVD, as the version presented here is TOTALLY devoid of the familiar ThunderCat background music! Unbelievably, the very first time we visit the tomb of the dreaded Mumm-Ra…the very first time we witness his horrific transformation from his decayed form to the terrifying “Ever Living Source of Evil”…the very first time he’s sent screaming and crying back to his foul sarcophagus by the mighty Lord of the ThunderCats and his mystic Sword of Omens …we hear NO MUSIC! If you want to hear background music during “Unholy Alliance,” you must either A: Select the Spanish-language track, B: Select the French-language track, or C: Telephone Will Wheaton and his tone-deaf friends and ask them to come over to your house and sing the ThunderCats theme out of tune for you while you watch! This is an outrage! My video-taped version of “Unholy Alliance” (which I recorded from Cartoon Network a few years back) has background music, and my video-taped version of “Exodus” doesn’t have a rolling picture after Thundera’s destruction; why should the DVD version have these problems? With great trepidation, I watched the other 31 episodes in this set and found no major abnormalities, aside from an occasional lack of smoothness in the animation and some grain here and there. Of course all the episodes are CLASSIC, and feature legendary characters like the Berbils; the Warrior Maidens; the Brute Men; the Unicorn Keepers; Snowman and Snowmeow; Hammer Hand; Ratar-O; Wizz-Ra; Mongor; Grune the Destroyer; Hachiman; Safari Joe; Dr. Dometome; Quick Pick; Captain Cracker; and Mandora the Evil Chaser…just to name a few. I firmly believe that every man, woman, and child in the world should watch at least one episode of the ThunderCats every single day for their entire lives; that’s why everyone needs to buy this set…despite the aforementioned glitches. I also think that everyone who buys this set should call, write or e-mail Warner Bros. and DEMAND a corrected version of disc 1. HOOOOOOOOOO!
