Thundercats OpeningMan, the Thundercats opening was pretty bad ass. Constantly flowing imagery, explosive transitions and liberal use of energy beams combined with a wicked soundtrackâ€â€?well, that’s motion graphics gold!
All right, so technically it’s all cel animation, but I’d argue that it qualifies for motion graphics just the same (further muddying my already vague definition of the field).

Checkout the openings for Silverhwaks and Visionaries, must be the same company that did all these back in the 80’s.

These are great examples as to why I wanted to get into animation when I was a kid.

Shows like Thundercats were heavily inspired by the Japanese animation style of series like Voltron and Speed Racer. Shows like thundercats totally inspired the mograph of the generation.
Video games and thundercats make good friggin mograph.

What’s up with the guitar solo in the Silverhawk Open?
Sunday, September 3rd 2006 at 10:54 pm |
I agree. Points taken off for unneccessary use of a glam rock guitar solo. However this is classic, thanks for the post – great bit of nostalgia.
