this is my line-up for the movie if i were to cast the actors in the film
lion-o- he is young and so someone like brandon routh, of whom has the physical build for lion-o
tygra- either hugh jackman or aaron eckhart- those two look more like tigra than any other actor that i can think of. another person suggested ioan gruffudd (fantastic four)
cheetara- she looks mature and sounds mature in the cartoons, any of these actresses would do: charlize theron, rebecca romijin, kristina loken (Terminator 3)
panthro- the so called black thundercat- appearance wise he bears more of a resemblance to ving rhames facially that is. others have suggested michael clarke duncan and kevin gervious, but for me i'd opt for terry crews (everybody loves chris). he's got the build, the frame and his face reminds me of panthro anyhow. i think he can pull it off
wily kit and wily kat- okay, there are not that many child actors of whom we are familiar of, but names in the frame for these two are dakota fanning as wily kit, jonathan lipnicki or vincent martella (everybody hates chris) as wily kat. someone else suggested shia la labeouf, which is a good choice as well
jaga- sir sean connery
lynx-o- either patrick stewart, sir ian mckellan or terrence stamp
snarf- CGI, get some guy who can do the voice for snarf
mumra- christopher lee
slithe- andy serkis
jackalman- jim carrey or steve busecmi
monkian- don't know
vultureman- guy pierce

I think this is the best list so far. This was one of my favorite cartoons growing up so I really don't want it screwed up. I loved the Transformers movie but I think they could have totally messed it up if the casting had been different. It's amazing how one voice can change the whole movie.
As far as casting the Thunderkittens... I remember that they were actually older than Lion-O who was a child when he was put into stasis. His body aged but his mind was still childlike. So we'd need an actor who could portray that aspect of Lion-O's personality.
lol And I think Snarf being CGI is the best idea. And use the same voice as the cartoon.

Jesus Christ people, the movie isnt gonna be released for two years.... all the actors and actresses you are naming could die in that time or get fat or disfigured. j/k :P
Anyway i think this movie should have mostly no names. and the only character that should be truely famous should be Mum-Ra. So a good short skinny actor for Mum-Ra and big beefy version for the Ever-living
