Oh, stupid map.

Third Earth should be right here.

Oh, h*, h*. Never fails.

One planet left and I'm lost.

Elf nuggets!

The fuzz.

Okay.

Just be cool.

Merry Christmas Eve,

Officer.

- How can I

- Sir, do you know how fast you were going just now?

Well, I-I have to go pretty

fast to deliver all

Save it, slime wad. I don't

care how they do things

in whatever crime-infested cluster

of stars you oozed out of.

But this is my jurisdiction and

here, nobody is above the law.

Chestnuts to this noise.

We're making a break for it, boys.

This is Agent Mandora

requesting all the back up.

I've got a roly poly perp on the run.

Goes by the name, Santa Claus.

["Jingle Bells" instrumental music playing]

Man. I hate this snowy

season, Snarf.

More chores.

Less adventures.

And I still haven't figured out how to

go to the bathroom in this dumb suit.

Happy holidays,

ThunderCats.

Thank you,

Berbil friends.

I will try to stay happy even

though these are hollow days.

Such long, cold, hollow days.

[wind whistling]

- [Berbil 1] Okay.

- [Berbil 2] Sounds good.

- That's the spirit.

- All right. Let's go see what boring chore

Tygra wants us to do next.

[Santa groaning]

Did you see that, Snarf?

It looked like a spritely

old man in a magic sleigh

being pulled by eight flying reindeer.

It's an evil snow wizard.

- Let's go beat him up.

- [meowing]

[groaning]

Halt, wizard.

You picked the wrong planet to

crash your wizard chariot into.

Because now you face Lion-O,

sworn protector

of Third Earth.

For the love

of milk and cookies.

Is everyone in this quadrant

Wait, did you say Third Earth?

- That's right.

- Oh, h*, h*, h*, h*.

I made it. Christmas

can still be saved.

Christmas?

I don't know what that is,

but it sounds horrible

and I hate it.

No, no, no, Lion-O,

Christmas is a magical time of

goodwill and cheer. A time

Oh, cool.

Christmas sounds amazing.

I will defend it with my life.

- That was easy.

- You sold me on goodwill and cheer.

Those are two of my favorite

intangible concepts.

Plus, I just saw your sleigh is full

of my favorite tangible concept.

Presents!

Oh, no. My sleigh.

My Robo-Reindeer.

If I don't complete

all my deliveries by sunrise,

Third Earth will lose its

Christmas magic forever.

No more Christmas?

The thing I just learned about

and love more than anything?

That cannot happen.

Me and my friends

will help you, Santa.

Oh, but I haven't

told you everything.

I ran into this scary lady on a

flying motorcycle out in space,

- and she's coming for me.

- Oh, that doesn't sound so bad.

[machines whirring]

Attention sentient

life-forms of Third Earth.

The Interplanetary Control

Force has tracked

a dangerous fugitive by the name

of Santa Claus to your planet.

Oh, Mandora.

Yeah that's bad.

Third Earth will be

on planetary lockdown

until a full sweep

has been conducted.

Be advised that anyone

found harboring criminals

with bellies resembling bowls

full of jelly will be prosecuted

to the full extent

of the law.

Well, probably

won't affect us.

[screaming]

[whimpering]

This ain't good. How are we

gonna get my sleigh past them

with my reindeer

all busted?

Don't worry, Santa. I can

guide your sleigh tonight.

I have mastered

the stealthy art of

classical ballet.

- I thought you were gonna say "ninjutsu."

- Nijinsky?

["Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" playing]

[laughs] We made it. Looks like

our troubles are over for

[gasps] Mandora!

[unintelligible mumbling]

Jingle toots.

You're not lying to me,

are you?

Whenever something is

going down on this planet

- you Thunder Oafs are usually involved.

- Not this time. I promise.

We see this Santa guy,

we're calling you.

Good.

How great

is this?

Mandora is here to arrest

someone and it's not us.

Tygra, this is my new best friend, Santa.

And Mandora's after him,

and we need to help him

deliver all the presents

or Christmas magic

will be gone forever!

[groans]

Lion-O, what are you thinking?

Mandora is looking

for that guy.

Do you want to get us all

thrown back into space jail?

- Of course not. I-I just

- No discussion.

Let's just call Mandora,

tell her we have Santa

and pray she goes easy on us.

Please. I have to deliver

these presents tonight

to help keep

Christmas magic alive.

You see Christmas

is a magical time,

a time of goodwill and cheer.

A time

Wait? Goodwill and cheer?

I'm all about goodwill

and cheer.

You guys are not

hard to win over.

We all agree that goodwill

and cheer are great.

But is Christmas worth

breaking the law over?

Oh, h*, Tygra,

Tygra, Tygra.

Perhaps this will

convince you.

h*, h*, h*.

You see, ThunderCats

There you go, Santa.

Better than new.

How wonderful,

Panthro.

You know you're almost as

good at building as my elves.

Some punk elves

think they're better than me?

Uh, I can fix that.

Whoa, y'all better hurry.

It's starting to look

real bleak out there.

[sobbing]

[sobbing]

[coughs] I am sad.

All right, everyone.

The sun rises at 6:00.

That gives us two hours to get

all these presents delivered.

A whole planet

in just two hours?

I've never moved

that fast before.

Well, you've never worked with

the ThunderCats before.

You're right, Lion-O.

Let's save Christmas.

- ThunderCats, h*, h*, h*.

- Yeah. That's kinda my thing, dude.

[nervous laugh]

Oopsie. Hiya.

Coming up on the Bolkin village.

Take her low.

I got this one.

[grunts]

[all] Hurray!

- Berbil Village. Dead ahead.

- No problem.

Santa came.

And he brought

the greatest gift of all.

Stuff we can rebuild.

[grunts]

[snoring]

Here we go.

Huh?

Oh!

Hmm?

[all cackling]

Hmm.

[giggling]

He's close

Target identified.

[beeping]

Sunrise is

in ten minutes

and we only have

one house to go.

We're gonna make it.

h*, h*, h*!

- [sirens wailing]

- Pull the sleigh over now.

- We gotta turn ourselves in.

- No.

Christmas isn't saved until we've

delivered every last gift.

Hiya.

[gasps]

Almost there

[all scream]

Get this present to that house.

Do whatever it takes.

I'm on it, Santa.

[grunts] Uh-oh.

Ha, ha.

Gotcha. Huh?

[meowing]

- What's this? A present for me?

- [purrs]

Mr. Bottom Dollar. Oh. It's

exactly what I wanted.

- Snuggles.

- [purring]

- Going so soon?

- [meowing]

Oh. You're helping

Santa save Christmas.

[chuckles]

I've been there.

Good luck, Mr. Bottom Dollar.

- [meowing]

- Oh. That is adorable.

[meows]

I knew you oafs

were lying to me.

Technically, we didn't lie-

Technically you're going to spend New

Years in jail. The next 500 New Years.

I know you're mad, Mandora.

But we had to save Christmas.

Chris-mass?

You've never

had a Christmas.

That's why

you're so angry.

Well, Mandora,

let me explain.

Christmas is

a magical time.

A time of goodwill

and cheer, a time

Wait, goodwill

and cheer?

Yes, Mandora. Now you get it.

Now you Oh.

Goodwill and cheer

do not excuse lawbreaking.

- Nothing does.

- Oh, no.

Don't be sad, Santa. We saved

Christmas for Third Earth.

I know. But I'm realizing,

the only people

on Third Earth

who didn't get to enjoy it,

are you ThunderCats.

[sighs]

Since I'm not on the clock,

Merry Christmas, oafs.

["Jingle Bells" instrumental playing]

Wow. I guess in the end,

Mandora saved Christmas.

I don't really

see how that

- Woo-hoo! Merry Christmas, everybody.

- [all] Hooray!

Keep it down or I'll put you

all in separate cells.

merry christmas guys
