Evening Dresses 2011

While there will probably most certainly be a new Cartoon Thundercats TV series soon, this clip has been circulating the net this weekend claiming it to be examination footage of a CGI Feature film that was inevitably canned.

Check it out:

I like the immaturity regarding Lion-O here, and despite being an insecure little kid in the mans body his worry is hidden in some enjoyable sarcasm. He still has to call on the actual Thundercats, but it looks like he caught Mummra off guard. And that ending is actually funnier than anything within the original series.

Mummra however appears AWESOME. The character itself (like the majority of of the the dated Early cartoon) looks hokey, and while he worked for the original toon, I was curious how they may well translate him for a giant screen adaptation.

Now onto the issue of the validity of this as being a real Thundercats test footage.

Your WB credits would be unlikely with a “test footage” clip. This looks like it would have been a more potential intro trailer setup. Test footage could have been more raw with nothing nevertheless the scene iteself and not the complex workup fading the title to the scene. I imagine test footage would have happened some time before they worked up a taster trailer.

There are hints with all the styling of the sword and Lion-O’s updated look which are present in the new anticipated computer animated series, but wherever this specific came from – fan made or else – its not happening that way now.

Which is a shame. I enjoyed which a great deal.

Edit: After observing it a few more times their clearly Slithe, not Mummra… he perhaps has a tail. My error.
