It would’ve been a little suspicious that every time Snarf had a line, the ThunderCats had to gather around a convenient boulder, but kids are stupid - they never question a puppet, even if it’s coming from inside a van and it doesn’t know the password. This could have been a puppet, and it would have been fine. At least he has all that CAD experience to fall back on. It’s too bad that nobody’s in the market for a Tiger-Man equally as proud of his new bikini wax as he is of his vintage moon boots. Meanwhile Tygra, whom I definitely do not remember as “master architect of the ThunderCats,” is the only one in this whole cast trying to sell it. ![]() Notice how his foam-rubber bulge is so poorly fit that it stretches at the thigh, giving Lion-O the saggy, wrinkly, straining groin of a 90-year old man at the nudist beach who insists he’s not too old to join the volleyball game, and tries to prove it by doing a full squat.Ĭheetara’s expression tells me she knows exactly how embarrassing this photo is going to be, but honestly, if you airbrushed out the spots and the ThunderCats logo this is just your 1980s mom going to the good Jazzercise class - the one where she kind of wants to fuck the instructor. This is what the melty guy from RoboCop would look like if, instead of being hit by a patrol car, he was hit by the theater bug.Īnd now for the least necessary request I’ll ever make of you: Please pay special attention to the crotch area. It looks like Lion-O is mostly tumor and sass. Right off the bat you can see that we’re dealing with a budget of ‘somebody’s mom was really good at halloween costumes,’ and an enthusiasm level somewhere between ‘new Dairy Queen employee introducing themselves to the rest of the staff,’ and ‘surly teenager posing for summer camp group photo.’įoam rubber muscle suits just don’t hold up when they’re flesh-toned. But I’ll tell you what: The program alone was fucking incredible. I promise you that no matter how heartbroken you are, you will never match my despair. I’m not going to tease you: No video exists for this solid hour and a half of foam-crotched crimes against theater. Plus the inventor of Gumby, Garth Gumbison, would have let you slap his IP on a Pray the Gay Away camp if it would buy him a gas station burrito. The ThunderCats shared a bill with most of The Comic Strip, the series remarkable only for the shamelessness of its knock-offs, and Gumby, who would, in the 1980s, guest star in literally anything because it was dead easy to knock up a slipshod Gumby suit. ![]() The event sprawled into an all-star spectacular… if you are very generous about the words “star” and “spectacular.” Also maybe “event.” They couldn’t justify the $80 a night to take over a seasonally-shuttered hockey rink with their fanbase alone, so they recruited every other show that did not yet have a foam-headed teenager gently spinning in their name. They held it for almost an entire summer.Įven ThunderCats Live! had to admit they just didn’t have that He-Man pull. In 1987, ThunderCats Live! gave over a dozen drama school dropouts their very first minimum wage job. And every one of those dumb cartoons got their very own terrible, child-scarring live stage show. ![]() In the 1980s, when spirits were almost as high as TV executives, every stupid concept got its own cartoon, from literal cowboys to eight types of Smurf.
