ThunderCats Roar is an American animated TV show. It was made by Warner Bros. Animation for Cartoon Network. The show started on February 22, 2020, and finished on December 5, 2020. It's the third TV series in the ThunderCats story, following the first show and the 2011 series.

This version of ThunderCats is more fun and funny than the older ones. It's similar to Teen Titans Go! because it has a lighter, more comedic feel.

What is ThunderCats Roar About?

The story begins when the ThunderCats barely escape their home planet, Thundera, which is suddenly destroyed. Their spaceship crash-lands on a strange and exciting planet called Third Earth.

Lion-O, who is the new leader of the ThunderCats, tries to guide his team as they make Third Earth their new home. But many weird creatures and bad guys get in their way. The main villain is the evil Mumm-Ra, who rules Third Earth and doesn't want anyone, especially the ThunderCats, to stop him.

Meet the Characters

The show features a group of heroes and villains.

The ThunderCats Heroes
