Arrrrrhhhh!

Thundercats!

It's finished, jaga.

Yes. Any moment now, panthro.

Shall I awaken lion-o?

No. Why upset the
child needlessly, tygra?

Wake him. If he is to rule,

He must learn to take
the bad with the good.

Lion-o.

What? Oh, cheetara.

I am sorry to wake you,

But jaga bids me
bring you to him.

Um, sure. Ok.

Hey, where are you going?

Lion-o needs his sleep.

He will have ample opportunity

For sleep on this voyage.

But now, it is important
that he join jaga

On the flight deck.

Nothing is more important
than a young boy's rest.

Aw, let up, snarf, huh?

I'm practically grown up.

You really are turning
into an old nanny, snarf.

Easy for you to say.

You're not responsible
for lion-o's welfare.

Snarf is.

Jut let the boy come
down with a fever

Or the pip or something
and who gets the blame?

Poor old snarf, that's who.

Snarf, snarf.

What's up, jaga?

Come closer, lion-o.

Watch the telescreen.

Watch what, jaga, that planet?

What's happening to it?

What was that?

That was thundera, lion-o,

The planet we called home.

Th-thundera? But...

Yes, lion-o, thundera is gone.

But the code of
thundera will live

As long as you, as lord
of the thundercats,

Can carry it in your heart.

It will be your sacred duty

To rule according to
that code in our new home,

Wherever that will be.

Justice, truth, honor, loyalty.

I will, jaga. I swear it.

I mean, I'll try.

Yes, I know.

It is an enormous responsibility

For one who is not yet a man.

But you are not alone, lion-o.

The nobles gathered here...

Panthro, cheetara, tygra,

Even wilykat and wilykit

Will be teaching
the skills you need

To rule wisely and well.

Hmm. No mention of
old snarf, I notice.

Snarf, snarf. Go ahead.

Just take all the glory

And leave it to snarf
to clean up after you.

I don't mind. Snarf, snarf.

Jaga: there is something
else you must see, lion-o.

The most important
part of your heritage.

This is the mystic
sword of omens

And the source of our powers...

The eye of thundera.

Jaga, the sword is alive.

Jaga: yes.

But there are holes
in the hilt, jaga,

And I don't see any eye.

The eye sleeps
until needed, lion-o.

And these are not merely holes

You see in the hilt.

Looking through
those magic apertures

Will give you
sight beyond sight.

But if I do need the eye,

How can I wake it
up and let it know?

There will be no need.

The eye will know it is needed

Before you do.

I... I can't lift it, jaga.

No, you have not the
strength yet, but...

Snarf, would you ask
the other thundercats

To join us?

But I want to hear what...

It's important, snarf.

Ok. Snarf, snarf, snarf.

But it will not be long

Before the sword feels
natural in your hand.

Tygra: you wish to see us, jaga?

Yes.

You will all have to
learn new ways as well.

On our own planet,

You needed no
protective clothing

Or special weaponry.

And the eye of thundera
rested peacefully

In the mystic sword of omens,

Guarded and known only to me.

We don't know what
awaits the thundercats

In our new home,

But these raiment's and weapons

Will help protect you.

Cheetara...

Tygra...

Panthro...

Jaga, we're being attacked!

Lion-o, remain in
the sword chamber!

No. If there's to be
fighting, then I should...

Please do not argue.

Snarf, look after him.

You bet, jaga.

Snarf will keep lion-o safe.

Don't worry.

Aw, I don't wanna be safe.

Safe is boring.

Have you identified the enemy?

Yes, they're from
the planet thundar.

Mutants! Always
those blasted mutants!

Ha ha ha! A direct hit, slithe.

Superb.

We just lost one, jaga.

Flagship to convoy.

Assume defensive formation.

Panthro: we're
losing them, jaga.

We're losing all our ships.

Except for ours.

Cheetara: we haven't
taken a single hit.

No, they know that the flagship

Would be carrying
the eye of thundera.

They won't risk losing it.

Then... Yes.

We can expect
visitors any moment.

What's that?

Grappling rays.

Easy, lion-o, easy.

Old snarf won't
let anyone harm you.

You just bet I won't.

I'm not afraid.

We've been breached!

Tygra: stand by to
repel boarders.

Right in front of you, tygra.

Where'd he go?

Now you don't see me...

Now you do!

Ha ha ha ha!

If you guys were as
mean as you are ugly,

Then maybe you'd be trouble.

Nothing back there.

Any luck at your end, slithe?

No.

What's in there?

It would help if I knew

What the eye of
thundera looks like.

Have you ever seen it?

Yes. Yes.

And there it is,

Embedded in the hilt
of the sword of omens!

You'd better get
right out of here

Or you'll have snarf
the fierce to deal with.

Snarf, snarf.

Heh heh heh heh!

And what manner of
laughable creature is this?

Think I'm funny, do you?

Snarf, no!

Where are they? Let me at 'em!

Snarf, snarf.

Now, boy, give me the sword.

You shall not
have it while I live.

Heh heh heh!

Ha ha ha ha! The
cub threatens us?

He can hardly hold
on to that sword,

Much less lift it.

What's happening?

Back! Get back!

Back to the ship!

And move it!

Snarf, are you all right?

Aw, come on, snarf.
Say something.

Sn-sn-snarf.

Good old snarf.

Why'd you want to
scare me like that?

How many of 'em did I get?

Lion-o, you're not hurt!

Nah. Snarf took a few lumps,

But I managed to hold them off.

You did it with the sword?

Well, the sword
kind of did it for me.

Huh. I see.

How bad is it, panthro?

Well, I patched up the
hole, and I guess it's ok.

The navigational system
is pretty well shot.

We can maneuver some,

But not enough to
get to the galaxy

We were headed for.

The best we can do is this...

Not much as galaxies go.

It's dinky is what it is.

See this puny little sun?

I've run a galactic scan for
atmospheric compatibility

And this blue planet,
the third one out,

Gives me a read-out of 96%.

Atmospheric com... Com...

That means we could
breathe the air, lion-o.

Even so, it's light-years away.

Oh, yeah. We'd have
to make the trip

In the suspension capsules.

You will all get in the
suspension capsules now.

I will pilot the ship
to the blue planet.

No, jaga. Without
suspension, you'll die.

We can set the
course on robot pilot.

In its damaged condition,

The ship must be
piloted manually

As long as possible,

Or we can't be sure of
reaching our destination.

We can't be sure anyway.

We'll take our chances together.

You must join us in
the capsules, jaga.

Yes, jaga. Please!

Enough!

I am by far the oldest of you.

Even though the
suspension capsules

Slow down the aging
process tremendously,

Some aging does take place.

Even in suspension,

I could not live long enough

To complete the journey.

Enter the capsules!

But jaga...

Come, cheetara.

What jaga says is true.

Don't make it tougher for him.

Yeah. He's just
being... Practical.

All right. If we're
going to do it...

Let's do it!

In you go, snarf. No stalling.

I'm going. I'm going.

Snarf, snarf. See
you all later... I hope.

Good-bye, jaga.

You must be brave, lion-o.

It is your duty.

Yes, jaga.

The eye of thundera

Will be waiting for you

When you reach your new home.

I wish I were as sure
of their chances

As I pretended to be.

Still, there is a chance.

I... Can't... Go on.

I pray the robot pilot

Can take it...

From here.

I just knew I wasn't
going to like this.

Snarf, snarf.

Lion-o!

Lion-o!

Lion-o! It's him!

Snarf, snarf, snarf.

Wake up, lion-o. It's me.

It's old snarf.

What are you doing,
snarf? Get away.

Ow! What in the...

Oh. The suspension capsule.

But how did it
get to be so small?

I was really worried, lion-o.

I was sure it was all
going to turn out...

You look a lot
smaller, too, snarf.

What's going on? Oh!

And my hands.

Look at the size of them.

Jaga: even though the
suspension capsules

Slow down the aging process,

Some aging does take place.

Why, I'm grown.

Look what I have
for you. Snarf, snarf.

Oh, what's this, snarf? A toy?

Good grief. I'm
too big for toys.

Can't you see that?

I guess you'll just
always look little

To faithful old snarf.

Lion-o, look out!

The mutants are
back! Snarf, snarf.

Mutants? They look
like... I don't know.

Like I should remember them.

They're real bad, lion-o.

I just knew we hadn't
seen the last of that bunch.

Ow!

What the gold-durn...

Lion-o, look!

Shh! You want the
mutants to hear?

But...

Good grief, snarf. What's
the matter with you?

We're in big trouble here,

And you bring me
another stupid toy?

Get away!

Search carefully.
The eye of thundera

Must be in the
wreckage somewhere.

Over here!

One of the thundercats
is still in his capsule.

And here's another.

We'll never have a better chance

To be rid of them forever!

No! Stop!

And who is that?

What does it matter?

The question will soon be

Who was that?

Aah!

This sword.

I know this sword. It's...

I can't remember. It's...

Lion-o.

Jaga! Is it really you?

You're still with me?

I will always be
with you, lion-o.

Pay heed, for it is your destiny

That you hold in your hand

The eye of thundera,

The source of the
thundercats power.

Yes, I remember.

Sight beyond sight.

In those capsules,
they're... They're...

Thundercats!

Thunder. Thunder. Thunder.

Thundercats!

h*!

The... The thundercats!

They're loose!

♪ Thundercats are on the move ♪

♪ Thundercats are loose ♪

We're gonna loosen
your bones for you, too.

Tygra, look who's joined us.

Well, well.

Grown some, hasn't he?

So what's the big
deal about height?

Aah! My eyes!

Back! Teleport yourselves
back to the ships!

The mutants will never rest

Until the eye of thundera
is in their clutches.

That will never
happen. I'll see to it.

Huh. Get him.

One tiny skirmish,

And he's suddenly a superhero.

Now, now.

He did pretty good
for his first time out.

He did, indeed.

And a fine figure
of a thundercat

You've grown up to be, lion-o.

And so handsome, too.

Snarf didn't do
anything of course.

Just found the
sword, that's all.

Snarf, snarf.

Now we'll have to go about

Seeing if we can
survive in this place.

We will survive

And create a mighty new empire.

I, lion-o, lord of
the thundercats

Proclaim it.

Uh, with your help, of course.

Well, maybe it'll
turn out all right,

And maybe it won't.
