About Thundarr the Barbarian
Thundarr the Barbarian is set in a future (3994 AD) post-apocalyptic wasteland divided into kingdoms or territories — the majority of which are ruled by wizards – and whose ruins typically feature recognizable geographical features from the United States, starting in New York City and working itself to Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Mount Rushmore, San Francisco and Washington, D.C.. Other episodes with recognizable settings are located in Mexico, while one is in London. Another notable feature of this future Earth is that the Moon was broken in two pieces. The shattered moon and the ruins of the former human civilization were caused by the passage of a runaway planet between the Earth and the Moon in 1994, which, from scenes shown in the opening sequence, caused radical changes in the Earth's climate and geography. However, by the time period in which the series is set, the Earth and Moon seem to have settled into a new balance. Earth is reborn in a world of "savagery, super-science, and sorcery." where everybody must fend for themself. Among those who became liberated includes Thundarr, equipped with record breaking strength and determination, Princess Ariel a sorceress and wise magician, and Ookla The Mok, a beast from another planet, as well as their faithful steeds, and allies. This anime styled series attempted to break barriers not attempted until years later, while Thundarr The Barbarian made 21 episodes, an average amount for a Saturday morning cartoon.
