Bumping this, because it is 2011 now, and I just found this out.
Quote:
For the project, WBA will collaborate with noted Japanese animation Studio4°C (“The Animatrix,” “Gotham Knights”), who will update the characters' look for the series.
"Thundercats" will be executive produced by Sam Register (“Teen Titans,” “Ben 10,” “Batman: The Brave and the Bold”), with Michael Jelenic (“Batman: The Brave and the Bold,” “Wonder Woman”) and Ethan Spaulding (“Avatar: The Last Airbender”) as producers.

Some pretty great credentials there. Also, recently read an interview with one of those two guys, and it seemed like he genuinely wanted to do it justice. No surprise, given what he's been a part of.
Also, he said it will be a bit darker, and deal with more complex and mature storylines, but not to the point where the charm of the original is lost.
So yeah, really looking forward to this. Although whatever they do for the intro, will undoubtedly fail to live up to the original. That's okay though. I wouldn't expect it to.
And for everyone knocking on thundercats villains, you can make fun of the moon people. They sucked. I'll even let you slide when making fun of the mutants, despite the fact that they served their purpose just fine. But don't you dare diss Mumm-ra in my presence.
