Thundercats

Thundercats is a multimedia franchise that started in 1985 with Tobin "Ted" Wolf's series about a team of cat-like humanoid aliens protecting their planet. Like many animated TV shows in the '80s, the series was released simultaneously with a line of toys. Since the '80s, the Thundercats franchise has expanded to video games, comics, and more TV shows.
