Thundercats (1985–1989)
9/10
Why this is one of my all time favorite shows.

It's extremely flawed and corny. granted. The story lines are mostly weak, even to a point of in-coherency and complete absurdity, granted. There are no exceptional depths of characters, granted.

However, this is a masterpiece if you know how to experience it as such.

To me, I find it compelling, mostly in terms of the biblically epic soundtrack for the most part, and the animation.

If you try to not render too much meaning to this journey as a storytelling, but more as a thematic soundtrack experience that manifests itself in certain situations and scenarios that you can easily relate to, then this experience would leave its mark on you in the most profound way, as it has on me ever since I've first experienced it as a 6 year old, and still in awe to it now as I'm already in my early thirties. one can't simply deny the way it reflects the mood and general ambiance in such a remarkable way, and still for the most part include the lite motif of the theme song in it without diminishing the mental traits of every track respectively. Secondly - I loved the animation, and the characters, although quite depth-less were very memorable and had a lot of gravitas in the ways they expressed and handled themselves.

To conclude, the real mastermind behind the success of the Thundercats is no other than Bernard Hoffer, who granted us one of the best soundtracks in the history of film and television, and I want to thank him personally for this amazing and one of the most memorable experiences in my life.
