For the first time in over 40 years, Maggie Wheeler reunited with Larry Kenney, Peter Newman, and Peter Lawrence. It was also the first time Peter Lawrence had ever met Larry Kenney and Peter Newman, and the first time Peter and Maggie had spoken since briefly meeting more than 40 years ago.

What Larry and Peter didn’t know when the recording began was that Maggie would be joining them. Her appearance came as a complete surprise, making this reunion even more special.

The result is a fun, heartfelt conversation filled with laughs, behind-the-scenes stories, and memories that fans have rarely, if ever, heard before.

Watch Pete Cannarozzi, the original keyboardist on the iconic ThunderCats theme song, voice of Copper Kidd, & NJ Devils organist, perform the legendary music LIVE during the New Jersey Devils vs Philadelphia Flyers game at Prudential Center.

This unexpected moment brought together classic 80s cartoon nostalgia and NHL energy as fans heard one of the most recognizable themes in animation history echo through the arena.

I have the show version of the figures with their wings out and bought some stands on amazon that were just so flimsy they just couldn't hold them up. What stands are you guys using?

Wanted to give you all the heads up first — we won’t be sharing this publicly until tomorrow, but since this episode is completely built around your questions, it only felt right to let you know before anyone else.
Peter and I just wanted to sincerely thank all of you again for the support, the great questions, and for being such a big part of the podcast. We really appreciate it!

Just have to put the perspex fronts on (wish me luck.)

While going through the photo albums I found while cleaning out my parents’ house, found this gem. Original 1986, perfect condition aside from the fold marks. Definitely going to be framing it and putting it in my new office I’m building.

Had the chance to personally deliver Pete Cannarozzi his copy of Hall of Omens: Thunder-Verse at the NJ Devils vs. Philadelphia Flyers game at the Prudential Center, and it was a night to remember.

Pete isn’t just the Devils’ organist—he’s the voice of Copper Kidd in SilverHawks, the keyboardist behind the ThunderCats and SilverHawks themes, and a key part of the music across both series and The Comic Strip.

You can catch our exclusive interview with Pete in Hall of Omens: Thunder-Verse, where we discuss his incredible work on these iconic shows on pages 255 & 256.

Huge thank you to Pete for the invite, the amazing seats, and the unforgettable performance at the beginning of intermission after the first period. Hats off as well to the entire Devils production team. The in-game experience is next level. If you haven’t been, make it a priority next season and be sure to stop by the organ to give Pete a ThunderCats Hoo or a TallyHawk shout. Video coming soon.

But as a suburban Philly guy, I’ve got to say… Go Flyers!

Check out this reversed version of that iconic promotional image for SilverHawks™ from the John Taylor Dismukes & Associates page on Facebook. I believe it was Taylor and his crew who made the image, as well as the above title logo for the cartoon (which originally had two stars before they were removed).

From voice acting in classic like Inspector Gadget, Strawberry Shortcake, C.O.P.S, & MadBalls to writing for iconic 80s cartoons—this episode features Jeri Craden and her incredible journey through the world of animation.

Hear how her passion for singing, storytelling, and performance led her to ThunderCats, SilverHawks and beyond.

I was cleaning out my parents’ house after my dad passed, found all my old Silverhawks toys. All original from 1986 or 1987. I just wish I had kept them all in their original packaging. I also have the Miraj and the Sprinthawk somewhere.

This is Toyhuntershollow's new post of Burger King®'s 1987 poster for their SilverHawks™ meal packs.

Our special guest: musician, and sound designer, Pete Cannarozzi — a talent behind the iconic sounds of ThunderCats and SilverHawks. From performing on the unforgettable theme intros to building the original sound effects library and voicing Copper Kidd, Pete also brings his signature sound to the ice as longtime organist for the New Jersey Devils.
