Arrrrrhhhh!

[Roaring] thundercats!

Wiley kit: come
on, I'll race you!

Look at the sky!

A storm's coming. Let's go in.

You're just afraid you'll lose.

Try and catch me!

[Thunder]

You'd better come in.

Scaredy-cat!

Ohhhhhh!

Kit, you'd better...

What?

Kit!

Look out!

Aaaaahhh!

She... She...

She's gone!

Wh...

Where am i?

[Gasp]

Who are you?

Do not be afraid.

I will not harm you.

In fact, I came here to ask
for the thundercats' help.

[Birds screeching]

[Whinnying]

A water giant with green
skin swallowed her whole!

I saw it!

Slow down, wiley kat.

We were swimming,

And this green, scaly
giant swallowed wiley kit.

Then it came after me!

Where was this?

On the beach beyond
the unicorn forest.

Come on. Show me.

Snarf, tell the
thundercats to stand by.

[Meowing]

This is where I saw it last.

Look there!

See? I told you.

That giant has
to be 50 feet tall!

Maybe.

Maybe?

There it is!

That giant's big, wiley kat,

But not 50 feet.

Oh, yeah?

That's because
it's sitting down.

Lion-o: great jaga!

You're right! It's enormous!

Too big for us to handle.

Let's bring up the
thunder tank and blast it.

No, wiley kat.

We don't just go blasting
things for no good reason.

No good reason?

But that thing
swallowed wiley kit.

We have to find out why.

Why?

'Cause it was hungry.

That's why.

There's something strange
about the way it sits there.

It somehow looks...

What's that?

Look!

Yahh! Oh!

Unhand me, varlets.

Where's wiley kit?

What have you done with her?

Who are you?

What are you doing
here with that thing?

Wiley kit: don't you dare
touch dr. Dometone.

Lion-o: doctor who?

Dr. Dometone...

One of third earth's
great scientists,

Thinkers, and gentlemen.

But I saw you get
swallowed by this thing.

It was my fault.

I swam right into
poor hercie's mouth.

What? Hercie?

Wiley kit: hercie is the robot.

Lion-o: dr. Dometone,

Wiley kat says you were
pursuing him in the unicorn forest.

You'd better explain yourself.

I was pursuing him.

I came here for help.

I am director and
principal guardian

Of the great oceanic plug.

The who?

Of the what?

Dr. Dometone: centuries ago,

A fissure developed in the
surface of the seafloor.

Wiley kat: a fissure?
You mean a big crack.

Exactly, wiley kat. A big
crack in the ocean bed.

And unless it was sealed,

The ocean would empty into
the very core of the earth

And put out its fires.

In the greatest
engineering feat of all time,

The hole was plugged.

We are now under attack,

And there is a real chance
the plug will be pulled out.

But why would anyone do that?

Without the earth's fire,

The planet will turn
into a block of ice.

A thousand light-years away
is a planet called blue plunder.

It is fueled by a common rock
found by the billions under the sea.

They have sent a salvage
expert to pull the plug,

Drain the sea, and
harvest the rock.

This salvage man is a
coldhearted brute called scrape.

Since the beginning,

Two robots, hercules and
samson, have guarded the plug.

Last month, I took
hercules... Hercie here...

And went ashore for supplies.

While we were gone,
samson was attacked.

I arrived too late.

It was an electric robot eel.

I knew then hercie
wouldn't have a chance,

So I came looking for help.

And that's why I'm here.

There's a full crew in there.

If I don't get back
with supplies,

They'll starve.

And if they try to break
out, the eel will break in.

Right.

And pull the great plug.

Dr. Dometone: we
can't let this happen.

I have a plan.

Will you help me in the
name of remaining humanity?

We've got to get to
your crew, and fast.

And we have to fix some
kind of emergency rig.

All right, then. Let's go.

All: thundercats, h*!

Dr. Dometone: wake up, hercie!

Eyes open.

Time to activate.

Stand!

There. Good boy.

Course, north by northeast.

Walk, hercie.

Man: the eel's no longer
there, number two.

This makes a full
day he's been missing.

Yes, but how can we be
sure it's not laying in wait?

We ran out of food a week ago.

Dr. Dometone is
obviously not coming back.

If we don't go for help now,

We'll be too weak
to attempt it later.

You're right.

Now hear this.

Stand by to elevate
observation tower.

It looks all clear.

Shall I suit up

And order the propulsion sub?

Er, uh, er...

All right.

Let's go for it.

I'll try to get out
somehow, somewhere.

Man: sub ready.

Second man: take the elevator
up and stand by for launch.

Fire!

Dr. Dometone: the
autopilot has clicked off,

So we're almost there.

The plug dome should
be coming up on our right.

Wow! Wow!

Is that it?

Er, yes, but something's wrong!

Hercie, stop!

On the top of the
dome. It looks like...

This is your captain speaking.

You have 10 minutes
to abandon ship

Before I pull the plug.

I suggest you get into
your escape pods now!

Dr. Dometone: they're
abandoning ship!

Scrape has taken over!

He's won!

No, he hasn't.

We can stop him yet.

You said you had a plan, doctor.

[Loud buzzing]

What's this? The
early warning alarm?

Dr. Dometone: these shark
suits were designed

So our divers could
move among other fish

Without attracting attention.

If you can get close
enough to that electric eel

And attach this grounding cable,

Then it will
neutralize his charge.

Scrape: well, bless my britches.

Ha ha ha!

They've got another of
those old retread robots.

We'll just have to
give him a shocking end!

Ha ha ha!

Dr. Dometone: stand by.

Dr. Dometone, look!

When the eel comes past,

I'll make a grab for
his tail, wiley kat.

With luck, I'll loop the
ground cable around it.

Hello! What's this? Huh!

I don't remember any
sharks in this area.

Well, I'd better put it in
high gear, just to be safe.

Lion-o: ready!

Here it comes!

They didn't stop it!

Dr. Dometone: hercie! Defend us!

It's up to you now!

Hercie, let him come to you!

Keep your guard up!

Counterpunch,
hercie! Counterpunch!

Dr. Dometone, look!

Evenin', folks. Ha ha ha!

Looks like you're
in a tight squeeze.

Ha ha ha ha!

Dr. Dometone: hercie, he's
exposed the eel's neck. Grab it!

Blast it! I underestimated him!

Got to... Reach the...

Electric charge switch!

Hurray! Hercie won!

With a little help
from his friends.

Your putt-putt is
going to come in handy.

Time to man the lifeboats.

Er, sorry I can't take
you with me, chum.

Ha ha ha!

You got him, lion-o!

Brilliant work, my boy!

Where's the other lad?

He should be right behind me.

Wiley kat: a sub has just
ejected from the eel!

Scrape is loose!

And he's heading
straight for the plug!

I'll get him!

No! Don't try it alone!

Don't worry.

I'll shove it off course

Until you get here to help!

There's only one thing
to do with a pushy fish,

And that's to catch it!

Lion-o: it's time for a
little help from my friends.

Thunder! Thunder! Thunder!

Thundercats, h*!

All: thundercats, h*!

Tygra ready!

h*!

Cheetara ready!

h*!

Snarf ready!

h*!

Panthro: reactor engaged.
Traction locked. All go!

♪ Thundercats are loose ♪

Scrape: ha ha ha! Ok, the
windows are airtight.

Ha ha ha! Control
room pumped dry.

Ha ha!

Let's see if the
machinery still works.

Ha ha ha!

Ready, sonny boy?

When I push this button,

It'll be the first
time in 17 centuries

That the great oceanic
plug has been moved!

Uh, this is scrape speakin'...

Chief salvage engineer
of blue plunder.

To, uh... To whom it
may concern... Ha ha ha!

I am about to empty the ocean!

Stand by!

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Listen to that!

We'll have it emptied
in nothin' flat!

Ha ha ha! Look at that, will ya?

It's...

Wait a minute!

Hey, it couldn't have
drained that fast.

What's going on here?

Panthro: that's all of the ocean
you're going to get, scrape!

We've enclosed the dome
in a compressed air bubble.

You're an engineer.
You can understand that!

Uh-huh. Yeah?

Well, you wise guys are
gonna have to come and get me!

Hit the vacuum suction button.

Will do.

[Shouting]

Hope you had a pleasant trip!

Scrape is in custody,
wiley kat's safe,

And the oceanic plug secure!

Hurray!

You've saved the ocean,
doctor, and the planet.

Well, let's go home, hercie.

Wiley kat: just
think, wiley kit.

When hercie first swallowed you,

I wanted lion-o to
blast him to bits!

And you'd have blasted me

And dr. Dometone to bits, too!

Scrape would have
pulled the plug...

And that would have
been the end of everything.

What will happen to scrape?

He's been turned over to mandora

For transportation to
the gray prison planet.

Dr. Dometone has made all the
repairs to the dome of the plug,

Including an interference-free
communication hookup

With cat's lair.

Tygra: what's happened
to the food? I'm starved!

It may take a while.

We're having... Fish.

Oh, no. Not fish!

I never want to see
another fish in my life!

Well, how do you want
me... Boiled or fried?
