THUNDERCATS.... HOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The amazingly awesome cartoon featuring the fighting feline-humanoid warriors from Thundera is returning to your TV with a new series in 2011.

Warner Bros. Animation will be producing the new Thundercats series and it will be their first shot at using anime-style animation. WBA promises that the new show will be a 21st century recreation of the classic 80s cartoon.

WBA stresses that the new show will appeal to both longtime fans of the show and first time watchers. WBA has hinted at what is to come in 2011 in saying that a grand origin story will be revealed about Prince Lion-O's rise to power and the trials he must overcome to take the throne.

WBA has released this awesome image, the first one released for the series:

WBA will collaborate with Studio4°C (“The Animatrix,” “Gotham Knights”) for the development of the new character models. Studio4°C's work has been awesome, in my opinion, and I am very excited that they are working to bring one of my favorite childhood shows back on the air.

Boondocks Season 3 Trailer Leaked, Reveals Bad News

cstanton — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 16:43:00 GMT

The Adult Swim animated series The Boondocks, based on the comic strip by Aaron McGruder, is back again for a sure-to-be hilarious third season.

The first season premiered in '05, followed by a second in '07, and after a 3 year break will return on May 2nd, 2010.

The Boondocks makes fun of nearly every aspect of American culture and race relations through both subtle ironies and blatant plays on stereotypes. If you haven't seen it yet and you have a sense of humor, you're missing out.

The voices are awesome too, Granddad is played by John Witherspoon from Friday, and Cedric Yarbrough from Reno 911 plays Tom and Colonel Stinkmeaner.

The third season trailer has just been released, so check it out before Sony gets it taken down.

Really disappointing that it's the final season, I'm totally bummed out... but it looks like it's gonna be a good season with some touchy issues.. and Bushido Brown is back!

Modest Mouse's Isaac Brock Writes Marvelous Cartoon Music

Ever have the craving for cartoons? Well The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack on Cartoon Network is a great place to start because Modest Mouse allstar frontman Isaac Brock is contributing the music to an upcoming episode!

Apparently Isaac is a big fan of The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, a REALLY trippy and pretty funny show about a boy named Flapjack that's on a never-ending quest for candy to satisfy his gargantuan sweet tooth.

Details on when the episode is going to air are still unknown, but my guess is that you might be able to find out on the creator's blog.
