Aargh!

Thundercats.

Captioning made
possible by warner bros.

Blech.

Yuck.

Slop.

Unfit for mutant consumption.

Ooh.

We need sl*ves,
slythe, cooks, servants!

Look at this place.

A jackal wouldn't
eat in this mess.

Then go, monkian.

Go and do not come back

Without a few likely specimens.

A woman's touch is
what's needed here.

Hmph. Chauvinist reptile.

What?

Ooh, I said,

You're right, slythe.

A woman's touch, by sundown.

No, too small. Back you go.

Monkian: hmm. A warrior woman...

Alone.

I wonder if she can cook?

Ha ha ha!

All right, slythe.
One servant coming up.

This was too easy.

What do you want, you furry...

Come along, girl.

We have a nice job for you.

[Muffled shouting]

Willa, help!

I...

All this struggling
won't do any good.

Monkian: aah!

That was just so you don't get

Any more bright
ideas, monkey face.

Who was that, sister?

One of the intruders who came
out of the sky in that big ship.

I thought there
were two spaceships.

Yes. Those other
strangers crashed

Near the berbil village.

This is our
territory, after all.

The warrior maidens have always
lived here in the treetop kingdom.

We have to rid ourselves
of the whole lot of them.

Do they all look like
that hairy monkey type?

Not from what I've seen.

I was at a distance,

But they seem to be... Cats.

Cats? Let's find these cats
and rid ourselves of them.

This thunder tank panthro
built is really something,

But he never lets me drive it.

Lion-o, what are you up to?

Well, scoot, snarf,

I'm just going for a ride.

Snarf snarf.

In that monster?

You haven't got the experience.

You got to wait till your
first driving lesson tomorrow.

Don't be an old nanny.

Can't take much experience
to get this thing going.

Meow! Is this going
to be trouble,

Or is this going to be trouble?

Now, let's see what
panthro's toy can do.

Whoa!

Dang blast it.

What's going on?

Who's driving my thunder tank?

By thunder, when I
catch that tank-napper,

I'll smash him into
sonic smithereens.

Oh, hi, panthro.

I was just bringing it back.

It sort of got away from
me for a moment there.

So I noticed.

You could have k*lled yourself.

This tank is a serious
piece of business.

You're right. I know that now.

Does this mean no
lesson tomorrow?

Well, I'll have
to think about it.

Don't tell tygra
or cheetara, ok?

Ok, but hands off until
tomorrow's lesson, ok?

Thanks.

The trouble with joyriding
is that it uses up thundrillium,

And we're starting to run short.

We brought a supply
from thundera, didn't we?

Not enough to last
that much longer.

So we'll need to look around

And see if any
exists on this planet,

Or nothing we
have is going to run,

Including the thunder tank.

Hmph. So!

The thundercats are running
short of thundrillium, huh?

Ha ha ha!

Old slythe will be interested
in that piece of news.

Panthro: ok, here's how
these little gadgets work.

When this detector comes
anywhere near thundrillium,

It'll let you know.

[Beeping]

Too bad you just can't dream up

A substitute power source.

Matter of fact, cheetara,

I'm working on that.

But until then,
let's go prospecting.

We'll split up.

That way each of us can take a
sector of the surrounding area.

I'll take the claw
and the sword.

Good idea.

There's still a good deal

About this planet we don't know.

It's best to be prepared.

You usually find
stuff like thundrillium

In a mine or someplace.

So be careful you don't
fall down a mineshaft, lion-o.

Yes, snarf, I'll
make a point of it.

And stay out of traps.

I will, snarf.

I promise.

He's not a bad boy,
but he never listens.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

Why this unseemly excitement?

Ooh-ooh-ooh!

The thundercats...

We... We can...

Slow down, monkian.

Yes?

They're running low on something

They call thundrillium,
slythe, which...

Which is the source of
their fuel for their tank

And for that blasted
stronghold of theirs.

And if they run out,

The thunder tank is
no more than a toy,

And the cat's lair is
worthless as a fortress.

Yes?

Exactly.

And right now, they're out
searching for the stuff, so we...

We must prevent the
thundercats from succeeding.

Yes?

That's what I've
been trying to say.

Ooh.

Funny... I have the
feeling I'm being watched,

But I can't spot anything wrong.

[Crash]

Aah!

Who are you? Quickly.

[Creature roaring]

Are you ok?

Of course I am.

Back off, will you?

I don't need any help.

Listen, I don't expect a medal
for saving you from that...

Whatever it was.

It was a lizathon.

But you could at
least say thank you.

Thanks. And now...

I'm lion-o.

Thanks... Lion-o.

Hey, why are you angry?

I had nothing to do with
your falling out of that tree.

If you hadn't been
sneaking around up there

Trying to spy on me...

This jungle is my home.

You're the one who's spying.

I wasn't spying.

I'm new here, and I was
just being cautious.

Well, just maybe I
judged you wrong.

Maybe.

We'll see.

At least tell me your name.

It's willa.

Willa.

Soft name for such a tough girl.

He's one of the
aliens, isn't he?

One of those who came
on the strange ship.

Willa: yes, a cat.

Calls himself "lion-o."

I followed him from
the lair they built.

What's he like?

I'm not sure.

Cats can't always be trusted.

We'll just keep an eye on him.

Yes.

Tell the others.

Lion-o must be
carefully watched.

Don't much like the looks of this
stretch of our adopted planet.

[Beeping]

Hmm. Must be some
thundrillium deposits nearby.

Getting stronger over this way.

The cave...

Sounds like it might
be a large deposit.

Tired.

Got to rest.

Feel strange.

I... I feel my strength...

Leaving me.

Growing feeble.

I'm aging...

Getting years older

Every minute I'm in this place.

Got to get free of this...

Escape from here.

Don't want to end
up a pile of bones.

Run. Have to run...

Outside.

[Beeping]

Tired.

So, so tired.

Trouble somewhere.

Let's find out what's wrong.

Sword of omens,

Give me sight beyond sight.

Tygra! I can hardly
recognize him.

I've got to get to him quickly.

Slythe: not just yet, whelp.

I haven't got time to
waste on you mutants,

So I'm going to take
care of you fast and...

Slythe: strike at him
before he gets it back.

Don't know who
your friends are, boy,

But they'll have to
sh**t better than that.

Ooh. Pretty colors. Mmm.

We monkeys, now,

We never miss

Uh, what we...

[Yawning]

What we...

[Yawns]

Sleep gas.

Retreat!

Breathe deeply.

It will pass.

Thanks, willa.

We're even now.

Excuse me, but I must hurry.

My friend tygra...

You mustn't go that way.

Ahead lies the cave of time.

The cave of time.

That could explain why
tygra looked the way he did.

That must be where he's trapped.

Thank you, willa, but
I must go that way.

Wait, lion-o.

It's best to listen to
what she has to say.

But, jaga, every
minute I stay here i...

This is her home territory.

She knows it much
better than you.

You should listen before
you rush off headlong.

But, jaga...

Sometimes you can
save time by waiting

And finding out all there
is to learn about a situation.

Yes, i...

I see that, jaga.

Ok, what can you tell
me about the cave of time?

Who were you talking to?

Explain to you later.

Right now, tell
me about that cave.

If you go after him,

You, too, will grow old swiftly.

There has to be
some way to save him.

There isn't, lion-o.

No one can run fast
enough to escape aging.

It can be done, willa.

I can't do it, but cheetara can.

Thunder! Thunder! Thunder!

Thundercats, h*!

The thundercat signal,

And especially urgent somehow.

Getting a strong reading,

Meaning there's got to be
thundrillium hereabouts,

And in plentiful supply.

Time for this later.

Willa: there it is,
the cave of time.

Your friend has no chance
of ever returning, I'm afraid.

If I move fast enough,

The cave won't affect me?

It's not possible to move
fast enough, I tell you.

You've never seen a cheetah
move if you think that.

Come on, wake up.

[Monkian grunting]

Oh, I seem to have,
uh, dozed off.

They used a sleep gas
arrow on you, fool.

Oh, yes. I remember now.

We'd almost defeated lion-o.

Success was within our grasp

Until that fool girl stuck
her nose into our affairs.

You told us that
lion-o and the girl

Will be at the cave of time.

It ought to be a perfect
place to ambush them.

[Yawning]

I don't want to run
into any more arrows.

Ooh! That gas
gives me a headache.

This time we'll make certain

She won't get a
chance to use them.

Tygra!

Ch-cheetara.

Get out...

Or you'll be like me.

I'm too fast to get
caught by this place.

I've got him.

Willa: amazing.

Not more than a few seconds.

This is not any
tygra that I know.

It is, panthro.

That cave did this to me.

Isn't there something we can do?

I know a way,

But it will be difficult

And dangerous.

Danger doesn't deter
the thundercats, willa.

Yes, I'm beginning
to realize that.

You mean there's a way
to make him young again?

We must take him
to the geyser of life.

If he bathes in its waters,

He may be restored.

Lion-o: where is
this geyser of life?

Willa: a few miles to the south,

Across some pretty wild country.

Cheetara: we've seen
nothing else on this planet.

Lead on, willa.

Tygra: I feel so foolish.

We're almost there,
tygra. Just rest.

Conserve your strength.

That looks like it up ahead.

Willa: the fountain is guarded

By the winged water
snakes, so be on your guard.

Now!

h*!

Wait. We must think
this thing through.

The sword is mighty,

But we have no time
for a lengthy fight.

Tygra's failing fast.

Distract them, lion-o.

Cheetara, dizzy them.

Willa: no. He must go alone.

He's too weak to
manage it by himself.

If you step into the
waters of the geyser of life,

It will change you...

Make you younger
and weaker and...

Don't... Don't worry, panthro.

I can make it on my own.

Ok. I'll just get you to the
edge of the water spout.

You must be careful not
to stay in too long, tygra.

It could return
you to your infancy.

Willa: it worked!

Panthro: how do you feel, tygra?

A lot better than I did.

In fact, I was
tempted to stay in

Until I was as young as lion-o.

[All laughing]

Lion-o: whatever
happened to willa?

She must have taken off

When we were watching
tygra take his shower.

I wanted to thank the young
woman for what she did.

Who is she, lion-o?

I never really found out.

They should pass this way soon.

[Yawning]

I wonder if I have time
for a short nap before...

Fool!

You're still suffering
from the sleep gas.

Quiet. I hear something.

[Yawning]

Guess I'll have my nap

Whether I have
time for it or not.

Panthro: and I'm
sure I've located

A terrific source
of thundrillium.

So did i, panthro,

But I'm not going back for it.
