ThundercatsSilverhawks

SilverHawks is an animated television series developed by Rankin/Bass and distributed by Lorimar-Telepictures in 1986. The animation was provided by Japanese studio Pacific Animation Corporation. In total, 65 episodes were made. It was created as a space-bound equivalent of their previous series, ThunderCats.

As was the case with ThunderCats, there was also a SilverHawks comic book series published by then-Marvel Comics imprint Star Comics.

Currently, Warner Bros. (who purchased Lorimar in 1989) owns the rights to the series.

TigerSharks is an American animated children's television series developed by Rankin/Bass and distributed by Lorimar-Telepictures in 1987. The series involved a team of heroes that could transform into sharks and other marine animals and resembled the series ThunderCats and SilverHawks, also developed by Rankin/Bass.

The series lasted only one season with 26 episodes and was part of The Comic Strip show, which consisted of four animated shorts: TigerSharks, Street Frogs, The Mini Monsters, and Karate Kat.

The animation was provided by Pacific Animation Corporation. Warner Bros. Animation currently owns the series, as they own the 1974-89 Rankin/Bass library, which was incorporated into the merger of Lorimar-Telepictures and Warner Bros.

OHHHHH MYYY GOOOOOD!!! I was very little when I watched these but I do remember that I loved the Hawks! They were my faves (thundercats not so much, tho)

Will totally watch this.

ugh, i hate not being able to see clips at work!
any screen caps of the characters? and any other SilverHawk Characters in there? always enjoyed the visuals for that show more than the plots.
Great idea though.

Cool, I was expecting something like this.Did anyone read this article from a few months ago?

http://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/news/More-Thundercats-Voices-New-Silverhawks/

"Another interesting (albeit cryptic) remark was dropped when a fan asked about another Rankin-Bass animated property, "Silverhawks" (which Kenney also provided a voice for).

"Interesting you should say that," said Jelenic, "Keep your eye out.""
CyberBishop - 8/30/2011, 2:01 PM
Yes indeed!! Me and my wife love the new show too.
DioFoRio - 8/30/2011, 2:04 PM

AINT THAT A BITCH......
MARVELPSYCHO79 - 8/30/2011, 2:24 PM
OH MY GOD!YES!I loved The Silverhawks when I was growing up just like I loved The Thundercats.I don't remember The Tigersharks.That is Monstar in that clip.I haven't watched the new Thundercats cartoon yet but I have to check this episode out.I think Silverhawks and Thundercats both deserve the big screen treatment.

Oh my. I watch this series with my 6 yr old and its on fire. I absolutely love how the have modernized this story in a manner that young and old can enjoy. If they are branching out then it looks like we'll have a little more lore to share with the next generation.

I have to say, the message that shows up in some of these episodes is rather deep but well presented. For example, episode three (I think) where Liono and the gang meet Emerich and his posse. What a nice message to share with the younger generation.
kevberg - 8/30/2011, 2:39 PM
The only cool thing i've seen in this show so far.
GLprime2814 - 8/30/2011, 2:56 PM
Wow that's cool I love all 3 of these.
CyberBishop - 8/30/2011, 3:01 PM
I am guessing the creature on the screen on the bottom left is supposed to be mon star...
FUBLU - 8/30/2011, 3:02 PM
I remember the TigerSharks. Me and my best friend used to wake up early on Saturday morning to catch it that one year. We just in Kindergarten but, we knew it was the "sea" equivalent to Thundercats!
USAgent - 8/30/2011, 3:03 PM
Man that was the shizzz!!! I hope we see these toons make a comeback as well.
Gutts81 - 8/30/2011, 3:13 PM
I just pissed me self!
MarkJulian - 8/30/2011, 4:11 PM
Hahahaha. I know exactly how old everyone is that posts on this article.
JackBauer - 8/30/2011, 4:20 PM
I don't recall Tigersharks but Silverhawks, Thundercats, Galaxy Rangers, Jason & the Wheeled Warriors, Voltron, GIJoe and Transformers sure made for a great childhood :)
rook187 - 8/30/2011, 4:20 PM
@plasticman, me and my 11yr old are the same way! Last week, when Mum-Ra did his little, "ancient spirits of evil..." bit, I started doing the lines too and found I remembered the entire thing. My son was like "How do you know that?" I love spending this time with him!
Tevii - 8/30/2011, 4:26 PM
That is FREAKIN' AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!! Tigersharks never got enough play
DioFoRio - 8/30/2011, 4:35 PM
wow...I don't remember TigerSharks at all.
spidermanfan2099 - 8/30/2011, 6:38 PM
Now, i'm even more excited about the show! Mon*Star looked awesome... cant wait to see the Copper Kid redone!
CrashTest - 8/30/2011, 6:39 PM
AHAH! HOLY SHIT, that was nice!
CrashTest - 8/30/2011, 6:39 PM
Mon*Star did look awesome.
Tevii - 8/30/2011, 7:33 PM
If you dont remember Tigersharks, its probably because it never had its own show (at least where i lived) it was part of a show that had different cartoons. Another one from it was Karate Kat...
CBMfan001 - 8/30/2011, 7:51 PM
love silver hawks and thunder cats at least the old versions
jonski22 - 8/30/2011, 8:25 PM
i just wet my pants........

throw in some M.A.S.K and Centurion while at it! And some Rainbow Bright for girls..:)
Daniellantern - 8/31/2011, 12:24 AM
Oh my childhood memories are back!! Tally Hawk!! Cool!!
SuperSomething616 - 8/31/2011, 1:15 AM
Excuse me but where were the Silverhawks in this clip?
ScionStorm - 8/31/2011, 1:38 AM
I'm pretty sure Mumm-Ra is a bat in this series now. He probably hides shriveled old wings under that red riding hood. lol

I like this idea of Mumm-Ra's alliance with the Thundercats centuries ago, before technology became merely a myth.
GUNSMITH - 8/31/2011, 1:40 AM
TIGER WHAT?
blackpantherfan - 8/31/2011, 1:57 AM
i don't remember the tiger sharks.
mynnDAWG - 8/31/2011, 2:02 AM
daymnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!
VictorHugo - 8/31/2011, 5:29 AM
Who were the TigerSharks? don´t remember them.
LeoAtrox - 8/31/2011, 7:15 AM
I see Tigersharks, but I don't see any Silverhawks.
silverdog - 8/31/2011, 7:43 AM
cool idea.. now have mumm-ra invading eternia.
Dedpool - 9/1/2011, 1:41 PM
Hmmsss. I like the Avian creatures, and having an elite force of "Silverhawks" would work. Love that they were included with the Tigersharks as part of the other animal races. Also the canines look like the dogs that attacked in the "Dogs of War" comic. I really hope with these new revelations we'll get to see some other of the animal races finally.It'd be cool if they basically created a council with memebers from each race or even just a team for each race.
mpdcop - 9/2/2011, 6:35 PM
I have been getting all my CBM info from this site several times a week and missed this article somehow.. I just saw the new episode and caught Mon*Star(Silverhawk villan) and Mako. Hoping for a Silverhawks Cartoon next. Awesome!
