A show about a bunch of feline-like aliens who escaped the doomed planet Thundera and made a new home on Third Earth, “ThunderCats” was one of the most important animated series of the 1980s, alongside the likes of “He-Man and the Masters of the Universe,” “Transformers,” and “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.”
The property is still popular today and continues to generate excitement among fans, with some “ThunderCats” actions figures selling for thousands of dollars. The franchise competed nobly in the toy wars of the 1980s, but there was more to “ThunderCats” than meets the Eye of Thundera.
