Arrrrrhhhh!

[Roaring] thundercats!

Lion-o: panthro,
did you see that?

Sure did. We better
try to follow,

See if we can
find out what it is.

It's turning, panthro.

I'm keeping it in sight, lion-o.

I think the thundertank
can match its speed.

[Beep beep]

[Engine fails]

What happened, panthro,

The engine break down?

No way.

When I build 'em,

They don't dare break down.

Well, of all the...

What is it?

Snarf was supposed to
recharge the thundrillium module.

He must've forgotten.

He's getting a
bit absent-minded.

Well, he's not
getting any younger.

Snarf getting old.

I never thought of that.

We'll just have to cut down

On his responsibilities.

Well, we're near the
ro-bear-berbil village,

A fair hike from the cats lair.

Better get started.

No. You stay with
the thundertank

In case that thing
we saw in the sky

Comes back.

It may not be friendly.

Snarf. Look at that.

It's been dark for an hour.

[Purrs]

What's the use of my slaving
over a hot stove all day

When nobody shows up to eat?

I'm sure there's a good reason

Why lion-o and
panthro are late, snarf.

Whoa. [Coughs] whoo.

Now what's the matter?

Oh, um, nothing. Nothing.

Uh, it, um...

[Coughs]

A bit too highly,
uh, seasoned for me,

I'm afraid.

Huh? Snarf.

Let me taste that.

Delicious. There isn't
anything wrong with it.

Ew. Eeh. Ach!

Maybe I did...

Go overboard a teeny...

Little bit.

Sorry I'm late.

Panthro, you're back alone?

Where's lion-o?

He's standing watch
over the thundertank.

The thundrillium module
ran down because... Oh.

Well, it's nothing
to worry about.

Did you re-energize
the spare module, snarf?

Snarf. O-of course.
I know my duties.

It's right here in the... Eh?

No. I put it in the...

Snarf.

Eh, that's funny.
I could've sworn.

Let's see. I was cleaning up

While the module
was in the energizer

And, uh, ah!

It's right here in
the, hoo hoo, closet.

Ooh!

Yikes!

Watch it!

Whew!

That's our only spare.

No harm done. It's perfectly ok.

Um, I better get going.

Lion-o will be wondering
what happened to me.

I'm coming with you.

There's no need.

We'll be back
before you know it.

[Purrs]

There's no need.
Don't bother, snarf.

No good for anything anymore.

That's what they think.

Meow. Whoo. Hey!

Suddenly, I got,
like, a feeling,

A bad feeling.

Lion-o...

Have to get where he is,

And nobody can stop me.

There it is again.

Hmm. Went by too fast
to make out its shape.

Another one coming?

No. That's a different sound.

Music?

It seems to be coming

From somewhere
around the berbil village.

[Synthesizer music playing]

It's coming. It's coming.

Oh, yes. Yes. Closer.

Ro-berbil, what's going...

Wait. There it is.

[Singing beautiful melody]

[Lion-o whistles]

It's magnificent.

What is it?

The arrietta bird.

Now we know

We'll have a good harvest.

There can't be many of these
wonderful birds around.

No. They're very scarce.

We may be listening to...

[Sighs] the last one.

What is that thing, ro-berbil?

Oh, it's queen tartara again.

She's always trying to
steal the arrietta bird

For her crystal kingdom.

She wants the bird
to sing for her alone.

Why, that's the
most selfish thing

I ever heard.

Yes. Isn't it sad?

She never learned

That the greatest pleasure
comes from sharing.

Well, I'm not about to
wait until she learns.

Waah! Woo-ah!

Uhh!

[Singing]

At last! Ha ha ha ha!

It's mine!

The bird is mine!

No!

Lion-o.

Lion-o!

Trouble. Meow. I knew it.

I just knew it.

Some sort of commotion
in the berbil village.

Panthro: ro-berbil!

What's happening here?

Have you seen lion-o?

Oh, my, panthro.

Yes, we have.

Lion-o was here.

Was here?

Explain, ro-berbil, and fast.

Snarf. Can't hear
what they're saying.

I got to get closer.

Queen tartara?

Who on third earth is she?

She rules the crystal
kingdom, panthro,

Beyond the gradazian mountains.

I'm going with panthro,

Whether he likes it or not.

[Singing]

C-cold.

Fingers frozen.

No... Feeling... Left...
In... My... Fingers.

Umra, grr, umra.

Oh!

Uhh, oh, ooh.

Aah. [Grr]

Ooh! Sorry, fella.

Aww. Come on now.

Neither of us
needs an avalanche.

What?

Uhh.

Whlagga.

Aah! Grr.

Ooh, uh, ee, ya.

Ooh, ah, hoowaha.

Ah. 2 More. I should have
looked before I leaped.

Ooh. Grr, unh.

Aah!

Grr. Unh, grr.

Hyah.

Unh.

Ohh! Aah!

I've... Got... You.

Hang on!

I'll try to grab your hand.

Ooh! Aah! Yeow!

Aah!

Jaga says that there is always a
benefit to be found in misfortune.

Hard to see what benefit
that poor devil got out of this,

But at least I won't freeze.

Hmm. A hat, too.

Sword of omens, give
me sight beyond sight.

Show me the crystal
queen's kingdom.

Panthro: 2 trails.

Which one to take? Better
check them out on foot.

Snarf. We've stopped.

Has panthro found
the crystal kingdom?

Maybe I can sneak a peek.

Yike! It doesn't
open from the inside.

Panthro.

Panthro!

Panthro!

Here in the trunk.

[Crying]

Come on. Meow! Let me out.

Heh heh. Hi.

Snarf! What in blazes
are you doing there?

Uh, I figured you'd need help.

The best help you can
give me is to stay right here,

While I see where
the paths lead.

Ok?

Yeah, yeah. Ok.

No wandering off, now. Ya hear?

I hear you.

Hmm. That panthro thinks
he doesn't need anybody.

Footprints!

Boots. Some going
this way and some...

Lion-o's boot prints. Prr.

He was here, and
he went this way.

Lion-o: here goes.

Man in sleigh: rggha.

Whagrra.

Whew.

Uh-oh.

Oomarah. Oomarah.

Umarah, umarah.

[Alarm sounds]

Intruder.

[Thinking] they can't see
me. They're both blindfolded.

Guard: whaah um. Urha.

Grr! [Grunts]

Lion-o, thinking: those sensors
tell them someone's here,

But not exactly where.

What?

Ohh!

Ooh.

A statue.

Queen tartara: sing. Sing I say.

I,

Queen tartara, command you!

So,

You will sing for those retched
ro-bear-berbils, but not for me?

Very well.

Ha ha! Your feathers
will enhance

My own beauty as a headdress.

Guard! Destroy it!

No!

Aah!

Grr! Queen: stand back!

He has seen my treasures.

It is for me to punish him.

Not tonight, tartara. I'm leaving
and taking the arrietta bird.

You'll never leave.

My treasure chamber
is my pleasure alone.

Even those who guard it
are forbidden to look at it.

Any who have seen it are
doomed to remain here forever.

I'm the exception, tartara.

Thunder!

Thunder!

Thund...

Snarf!

Where'd he get to?

Snaarf.

Lion-o's boot prints
lead to that entrance,

But that's not for me.

Aha!

Wood.

By thundera.

Look at this place.

Mighty peculiar statues.

[Gasps] lion-o!

What happened? Snaarf. Is he...

No, he's still alive!

Meow. Not to worry,
lion-o. Snarf is here.

Aha!

Sheesh. No gain there.

[Arrietta bird sings]

Oh. A bird.

Hey, you're the
bird, aren't you?

The one that caused
all this trouble.

Uh-uh. No use trying to
win me over. I'm tone deaf.

Hey, can you sing real high?

Ok, you're on. Give
it your best shot.

[Bird coos] not good enough.

Those top notes gotta
go through the roof.

The arrietta bird.
Oh! Oh! It's singing.

You! You're free!

It's not possible! Guards!

Guards? Meow.

Thunder! Thunder!

Thunder!

Thundercats! h*!

Destroy them!

The thundercat
signal! It's lion-o.

Uurah.

Uhh!

♪ Thundercats are on the move ♪

♪ Thundercats are loose ♪

Aah!

Guards: aah!

Get in quick.

They'll be back with
reinforcements.

Snaarf! How do
we get out of here?

No point in taking the long way.

[Bird singing]

Look! The arrietta
bird. It's free.

Panthro: yes, and going home.

Beautiful. Isn't it, panthro?

Yes, it's pretty
all right. Look!

Ohh!

Thank you, lion-o.

Actually, it's snarf
you should be thanking.

He saved the day.

Prr. Oh, well.

No, it's true.

We couldn't have
done it without you.

See. Old snarf just
gets better with age.

[Lion-o and panthro laugh]
