Thundercats Tuesday - Rankin/Bass Comic Strip - Mini-Monsters

Continuing with the promotional package for The Comic Strip syndicated series that features TigerSharks ( the Thundercat clones in water) and bunch of comedies, Street Frogs (don't ask), Karate Kat (my favorite) and Mini-Monster (do I have to tell you the premise). Here's the cover and some TigerSharks art to start. I didn't design any of these characters.  Designs were done by Bob Camp and Pepe Moreno. My main role was to call animation re-takes (animation mistakes in the rough cuts) in the post-production process.

This week, Mini-Monsters.  I think we've seen this concept repeated many times, kids of famous movie monsters in a new settings, and interacting  with human kids.  That said, Mini-Monsters had its charm.
















Next week, Karate Kat.

I'm impressed at how dedicated you are at entertaining us with this "Comic Strip" promo package. "The Mini-Monsters" was pretty cool.

I loved the Comic Strip; I used to watch that in syndication when I lived in New York City and in rural North Carolina.

Karate Kat was my favorite segment with the Mini-Monsters in a close second. I actually had a crush on Jinx!
