Thundercats The Movie 2010: Voice Actors

September 16th, 2007 by clare

The voices for the new CGI Thundercats movie are still to be confirmed but I’m hoping that they will stick to the original voices as far as is possible. Sadly a couple of the original voice actors have now passed away, RIP Bob McFadden and Earl Hammond, you will never be forgotten. Bob McFadden was outstanding as the voice of Snarf and Slythe and Earl Hammond played Mumm-Ra, Tug-mug and Amok magnificently.

I recently contacted Larry Kenney, the original voice of Lion-O and Jackalman, and he confirmed to me that he was keen to take on these roles again for Thundercats The Movie due to be released in 2010, however, he had not heard from Warner Brothers at that time.

I would love Lynne Lipton to be the voice of Cheetara again, she has such a sexy voice and this character just wouldn’t be the same without her. She also played the voices of Wilykit, Luna and Queen Luna.

The other main Thundercats voice actors were Earle Hyman, Peter Newman, Doug Preis, Rob Paulsen, Victor Trujillo and Gerrianne Raphael.

Let’s hope Warner gives them all a call and keeps it real!

It’s going to be a CGI-animated movie like Shrek and Toy Story, not live-action like X-Men.

The biggest thing for me is Mumm-Ra. Im sure somebody could do Mumm-Ra justice but Earl was absolutely outstanding. That laugh!!! If they can get Mumm-Ra right then it will be good if not then it will never be right. The auditioning for Mumm-Ra should be treated as even more key than that of Lion-O.

Larry Kenney could easily reprise Mumm-Ra almost as good as the original VA. He voiced Mumm-Ra in one of the extra features of the DVD sets and it was almost the same as the original

CGI? Come on! We all saw what happened to TMNT!
Get a real cast. This is marketing ploy. All they are doing is interesting a younger group of Thundercats watchers. The only reason they will make their millions is due to the loyal fans of the original cartoon. The industry is banking on millions of parents who grew up watching the cartoons, taking their children to see this film. Their thinking probably went along the lines of “You’re right we could probably make millions off the exploitation of the generation gap.” If you’re gonna do it, do it right, use expensive costumes and make-up to make it look real! I beg you as a fan of the origanal Thundercats who probably will go see this movie regardless of my movie morals, please change the way this movie will be put out.

This a marketing ploy to get the Parents to bring the kids to this new movie.

I have to say it works. Compare the old Thundercats look and storyline to what is out now. You have Ben 10, Avatar, Storm Hawks, and etc.

Going CGI is the best bet to get old fans and new ones.

Plus many of us older fans might not make the the trip to the theater. We would just wait for DVD.
Which has tanked several big budget movie.

If kids want to go see this it will make the old fans go to.

I dont think they should re cast as it will ruine the film in my opinion because fans know what the characters sound lyk from the episodes of it.

I would like to say that i am a fan but why can’t they do both cartoon and real? they make the cartoon first to get more younger fans and then the next couple of years make one with real people. this movie would make a blow out with real people x-men did fantastic four spiderman incredibale hulk spawn why not thundercats just making the movie in cartoon would be wrong wesly snipes as panthro perfect part for that man. sean connery as jaga good part for him. make one with real people every one would go see it.

NO CGI!!! How many movies do they have to ruin before they stop the insanity?! Hardcore Thundercats fans would rather see Live Action, otherwise don’t bother making anything at all. A CGI Thundercats would be offensive.
