No, it's a reboot. (or reimagining) The creators have said so in every interview I've read about the new show.

However, the original Thundercats are mentioned as having defeated Mum-Ra and tamed the planet after coming to this world. The original Thundercat fortress is seen as part of the palace with the city grown-up around it. The current Lion-O speaks of the anscestors' (the Original Thundercats) stories of technology and 'flying ships'. Nothing in the new show contradicts any of the original show.... Nothing. It fits seemlessly onto the previously established continuity as the 'future' of the original show. Fits better than anything DC has ever done when it comes to 're-imaging'.

However, I have recently seen a number of articles that refered to it as a 'revival' of the old show... A term that is far less inflamatory than the dreaded 'Reboot' or 'Remake' lables. This show makes me think more of the 'Charlie's Angels' movies in that there are some small items to reconcile, but nothing that is not fairly easily explained away or even ignored because they are so inconsequential. Like I said above, I wish DC had ever done half so well in the past few decades at re-invigorating a property without destroying everything done with it before.

Mon-Starr!?!?! What the heck was he doing there?? One of Mum-Ra's generals? Was it just an easter egg or do these guys actually have a "Thundercats/Silverhawks" crossover/spin-off in the works?? It'll be interesting to see how these two franchises might share a mythology.
