Mr. Tawny And Cringer - Battlecat Of He - Man Fame

The talking tiger made the transtition to television along with Captain Marvel in a series of cartoons made by Filmation in the 1970's.


 
 
When Filmation began the He- Man cartoons in the 1980's, they reused the character of the talking tiger, just as they reused a number of other elements from earlier cartoons that had been produced by the studio.
 
 
 
 
"Cringer" was the pet of Adam, as He-Man was called in his secret identity. 
 
 
 
 
 
Cringer usually appears to be a clumsy, worthless cat,
 
 
 
 
and also appears to be cowardly,
 
 
 
 
 
 but when Adam transforms into He-man,
 
 
 
 
Cringer transforms into the mighty Battle Cat and fights the forces of evil alongside him. 
 

 
 
 
 In this version, the tiger undergoes a transformation along with the hero, and the two are superheroes together, which I think is much more satisfying than the situation in the original comic book.
