The following are [[Trivia Trope|Trivial]] facts relating to ''[[Thundercats 2011 (Western Animation)|ThunderCats (2011 series)]]''.
----
* [[Cross-Dressing Voices]]: Snarf is male but voiced by a Japanese woman.
Line 6:
* [[Fan Nickname]]: The Queen of Thundera's name is never mentioned or credited, but she was unofficially named Leona by the staff.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]
** [[Will Friedle]] ([[Batman Beyond (Animation)|Batman]], [[Kim Possible (Animation)|Ron Stoppable]], and [[Batman: theThe Brave And The Bold (Animation)|Blue Beetle]]) as the voice of Lion-O.
** [[Matthew Mercer]] as the voice of Tygra.
** [[Kevin Michael Richardson]] as the voice of Panthro.
** Emmanuelle Chriqui as the voice of Cheetara.
** [[King of the Hill|Pamela Adlon]] as the voice of Pumyra.
** [[Corey Burton]] ([[The Transformers (Animationanimation)|Shockwave]]) as the voice of Jaga, Jorma, and others. He's using his [[Kingdom Hearts|Ansem The Wise]] voice, which also makes him sound very similar to [[Christopher Lee]] whom Burton was [[The Other Darrin]] to in the series.
** [[Robin Atkin Downes]] ([[The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes (Animation)|The Abomination, Baron Zemo]], [[No More Heroes|Travis Touchdown]], [[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|The Medic]], [[Halo|The Prophet of Regret]], and [[Kingdom Hearts|Luxord]]) as the voice of Mumm-Ra.
*** He also plays the Captain in Episode 3, Cornelius Tunar, [[Actor Allusion|who seems to be channeling]] [[Ratchet and Clank|Captain Slag!]]
** [[Clancy Brown]] ([[Highlander (Film)|The Kurgan]] and [[SpongebobSpongeBob SquarePants|Mr. Krabs]], and even more relevantly, [[Superman: theThe Animated Series|Lex Luthor]]) as the voice of Grune.
** Larry Kenney ([[Casting Gag|the]] [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|original]] [[Meta Casting|voice]] [[Remake Cameo|of Lion-O]]) as the voice of Claudus.
** [[Dee Bradley Baker]] as the voice of Slithe.
** [[Satomi Koorogi]] ([[Pokémon (Animeanime)|Togepi and Pichu]]) voices Snarf.
** [[Troy Baker]] ([[Generator Rex (Animation)|Van Kleiss]]) as the voice of The Driller.
** [[Cree Summer]] ([[Batman Beyond|Maxine Gibson]], [[Danny Phantom|Valerie Gray]], [[Transformers Animated|Blackarachnia]]) as Panthera (Leo's [[Love Interest]]) in "Legacy", and [[Rob Paulsen]] was the leader of the Jackal-men AND the leader of the Lizard-men in the same episode.
** Atticus Shaffer from ABC's ''The Middle'' as young!Emrick.
Line 28:
** [[Jim Cummings]] as the voice of Caspin.
** [[Jason Marsden]] as the voice of Leo (when he's not posessed by Lion-O).
** [[Jeffrey Combs]] as the voice of Soul Sever, complete with the obligatory ''[[Re-Animator (Film)|Re-Animator]]'' [[Shout-Out]].
* [[I Knew It!]]: The {{spoiler|death of Lion-O's mother in childbirth}} was one of the major fan theories from the very beginning.
** Several fans settled on the name "Leona" for the Queen of Thundera before Dan Norton confirmed they crew called her that too.
** Almost ''immediately'' after Panthro {{spoiler|lost his arms}} fans not only theorized that {{spoiler|he would get new cybernetic ones}}, but {{spoiler|it's the Berbils that hook him up with them.}} Guess what happened in the very next episode.
* [[Lying Creator]]: Panthro's dead. No, [http://crewofomens.tumblr.com/post/8539085553/thanks-for-the-follow-ive-been-a-tcats-fan-for honest]{{Dead link}}, he's totally dead. Never mind that promo art.
* [[Mean Character, Nice Actor]]: Matthew Mercer, voice of Tygra and all around awesome guy, admits that after reading scripts and doing recordings he sometimes wants to just step back and yell "He's (Tygra) ''such'' a dick!"
* [[Network to Thethe Rescue]]: The show's ratings were okay, but the toys didn't sell as well as hoped so WB talked Cartoon Network into moving the show from Friday nights to Saturday mornings as a lead-in to the popular DC Nation programing block. The show's ratings ''doubled'' overnight.
* [[One of Us]]: Producer Michael Jelenic has used the terminology [[Breakout Character]] and [[The Scrappy]] in [http://www.ksitetv.com/7348/interview-with-the-creative-talents-behind-the-new-thundercats/ an interview].
** Not to mention Will Friedle (who is a very vocal ''[[Thundercats (Animation)|Thundercats]]'' and Tolkien fan). Also a [[Promoted Fanboy]] as the original show is one of the reasons he got into animation. Matthew Mercer and Kevin Michael Richardson are also big ''[[Thundercats (Animation)|Thundercats]]'' fans, and you can see all three geeking out [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSM8j8GDtZ8 here.]
*** Speaking of Matthew Mercer, he dressed up as Mumm-Ra for Halloween!
**** He's also a [[Shipper Onon Deck]] who [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egoR4JlfAew teased Lion-O/Pumyra.]
** Sound editor [http://soundslikejeff.wordpress.com/ Jeff Shiffman] reads tvtropes[[TV Tropes]] and has even [httphttps://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=12960040300A51721400&page=22#544 posted in the ''Thundercats'' thread].
* [[The Other Darrin]]: Leo is voiced by [[Will Friedle]] in his first appearance because of Lion-O reliving events of the past through Leo. "Birth of the Blades" has [[Jason Marsden]] voicing him, and this is likely what Leo's actual voice sounds like. This is something of a [[Casting Gag]], since Friedle and Marsden are good friends.
* [[Relationship Voice Actor]]: [[Cree Summer]] and [[Will Friedle]] play rebel leaders and sweethearts Panthera and Leo, but Summer was also Max Gibson, girl friday to Friedle's Batman successor in ''[[Batman Beyond (Animation)|Batman Beyond]]'', then they later played the [[Official Couple]] in ''[[Tony Hawks Under Ground (Video Game)|Tony Hawks UnderHawk's GroundUnderground]]''.
* [[Teasing Creator]]: The crew just ''loves'' messing with their fellow fans, especially at the [http://crewofomens.tumblr.com Crew of Omens] blog, and occasionally [[Deviant ART]], where a crewmember [http://farfie-kins.deviantart.com/art/THUNDERCATS-HO-246011858 teased] the [[Whole-Episode Flashback]] of "Old Friends" in an early review comment. Almost every question of "Will (X) from the old show appear in a future episode?" has been answered with a sly "Maybe" and a wink. They're also very fond of the [[Mathematician's Answer]].
* [[Word of God]]: Art director Dan Norton set up a [http://crewofomens.tumblr.com/ Thundercats crew blog] to answer fan questions and also uses [http://dingo107.deviantart.com/ deviantArt], frequently posting fan art on the blog, including both Yaoi and [[Fetish Fuel]] art.
* [[Written Byby Cast Member]]: "The Trials of Lion-O: Part 2" and "Birth of the Blades" were written by Will Friedle.
