“ThunderCats”: A Roaring Re-Birth
In recent years, popular cartoons from the 1980s have seen several successful reboots and have even become blockbuster movie franchises. Now the time has come for ThunderCats to try its luck at entertaining a new generation a good twenty years after the original series ended. I’m sure of one thing after viewing the introductory episodes, cats always land on their feet.

“The Amazing World of Gumball”: Bittersweet
If it’s one thing Ben Bocquelet’s new show The Amazing World of Gumball has, it’s certainly ambition. A massive, diverse cast of characters, dozens of different animation styles, two seasons in production, plenty of advertising, an international production crew, and an entirely new production company (Cartoon Network Development Studio Europe) has supplemented Cartoon Network’s newest original, but is the show at the very core of the hype worth it?

“The Looney Tunes Show”: Funny, but not quite Looney
At long last the Looney Tunes characters return to television in a new series. This time around they went with a sitcom format focused on Bugs and Daffy along with CGI shorts featuring Roadrunner and the Coyote and animated music videos called Merry Melodies. Each segment offers a very different experience and while I am not so sure they mesh that well together, the variety show style is a nice attribute.
