History and Humble Beginnings
The ThunderCats phenomenon began in 1985, created by Rankin/Bass Productions and animated by a team in Japan. The series introduced audiences to Lion-O, Panthro, Cheetara, Tygra, and the rest of the heroic ThunderCats as they fought the villainous Mumm-Ra. Combining action, fantasy, and unforgettable characters, the show became a cornerstone of 80s pop culture.
At Golden Class Movies, we started with a small collection of VHS tapes and an undying love for nostalgic cartoons like ThunderCats. Over time, we’ve grown into a trusted source for rare movies and retro memorabilia, and the ThunderCats franchise holds a special place in our treasure trove.

Lesser-Known Facts That Make People Smile
Here are a few quirky facts about ThunderCats that even superfans might not know:
- Lion-O's Voice: Larry Kenney, who voiced Lion-O, also voiced characters in SilverHawks and Tigersharks—two shows created by the same studio.
- Real Swords Exist: Lion-O's iconic Sword of Omens has inspired real-life replicas made for collectors.
- Cartoon Origins: The series started as an American concept but had heavy Japanese animation influences from studios like Topcraft.
- Cameos: ThunderCats have made surprise appearances in modern cartoons like Robot Chicken and even comic book crossovers.
These fun tidbits remind us why ThunderCats remains an unforgettable part of childhood.
All the Series Over the Years
The ThunderCats universe didn’t stop with the 1985 series—it’s been reimagined and expanded over the decades:
- ThunderCats (1985-1989): The original series that started it all, with 130 episodes of action-packed adventures.
- ThunderCats (2011): A darker, anime-style reboot that brought a fresh look and deeper lore to the franchise.
- ThunderCats Roar (2020): A comedic take on the series, introducing the classic characters to a new generation in a lighter, quirky style.
- ThunderCats Comics: Over the years, comics from DC and Marvel have expanded the ThunderCats mythology, exploring untold stories.
Each adaptation pays homage to the original while introducing something new for fans to enjoy.

Introducing the VHS Era
Before DVDs and streaming, the thrill of watching ThunderCats came on clunky but magical VHS tapes. Released in the 1980s and 90s, ThunderCats VHS tapes were treasured by fans who rewatched their favorite episodes until the tape wore out.
VHS History and Simpsons Popularity: The VHS format, introduced in the 1970s, revolutionized home entertainment and remained dominant for decades. As VHS tapes became a household staple, cartoons like ThunderCats and The Simpsons became must-haves for kids and collectors alike.
Collectibility and Scarcity
Today, original ThunderCats VHS tapes are highly collectible due to their rarity and nostalgia factor. Here’s what makes them so special:
- Rarity: Fewer tapes were produced as VHS started to phase out, making pristine copies hard to find.
- Nostalgia: Owning an original VHS brings back the joy of 80s Saturday mornings and simpler times.
- Condition: Tapes with original covers, stickers, and artwork in mint condition are especially valuable.
For collectors, these tapes are more than just movies—they’re pieces of history.
