Sign the petition - Larry Kenney as the voice of Lion-O!
Written by clare on December 28, 2007 – 11:21 pm -Most ThunderCats fans will know Larry Kenney as the voice of Lion-O from the popular 1980's animated series. He was also the voice of Jackalman and various other ThunderCats characters. Larry is a fantastic voice actor and a complete legend. I would love to see Larry reclaim his role as the voice of Lion-O in the upcoming CGI-animated ThunderCats movie. The guys over at ThunderCats Lair have taken the brilliant step of starting a petition to this effect. If you would like to see ThunderCats legend Larry Kenney reprise his role as the voice of Lion-O in the upcoming ThunderCats movie then head on over to ThunderCats Lair and sign the petition.

Written by clare on November 4, 2007 – 9:17 pm -Jerry O'Flaherty, full name Jeremiah O'Flaherty, was born in Irving, a suburb of Dallas, Texas. He is the fourth of ten children. His father emigrated to the United States from Listowel, County Kerry, Ireland. Therefore, O'Flaherty holds dual American/Irish citizenship. He now lives in Santa Monica, California.

He started his career in the game industry at sixteen years old. By the age of twenty-four he partly owned video game developer KoP Media and sold it to Seventh Level two years later. He was one of the original founders and owners of game company Ion Storm. In 2003, O'Flaherty was given the role of Studio Art Director of Epic Games, dealing with the direction of Gears of War and Unreal Tournament 3.

This will be O'Flaherty's movie directing debut, he has previously worked as Art Director on video games Gears of War, Unreal Tournament 3 and Command and Conquer amongst other things.

Thundercats The Movie 2010: Voice Actors
Written by clare on September 16, 2007 – 11:43 am -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 ... Read more

Newton Faulkner on Thundercats!
Written by clare on August 9, 2007 – 4:48 pm -I was delighted to read that Newton Faulkner, my favourite musician of the moment, is a Thundercats fan! In a 60 Seconds interview with Metro, he was asked about his new album and this is what he said... "The album is called Hand Built By Robots. What is your favourite robot?" "Optimus Prime. I liked Transformers as a kid – that and Thundercats. I liked Dino-Riders, too, but only one series was made and no one else remembers it." "Who would win in a fight between the Transformers and the Thundercats?" "The Transformers would definitely destroy the Thundercats without too much trouble. There are more of them and they’re about ten times the size. The Thundercats only had little swords." I'm slightly disappointed in Newton's lack of faith in the Thundercats though! I know I'm biased but I reckon that the Thundercats would definitely kick the Transformers' butts! Thundercats, hooooooooooo! Read more
