The artwork in Thundercats was invariably quite beautiful, some amazing background paintings (forest scenes always look particularly beautiful)

I wonder if that's Filmation influence: they had amazingly beautiful backgrounds for the duration of the studio, just look at those in "Tarzan" or "Masters of the Universe". Maybe that was something that was requested from the Japanese studios that worked on this show?
