[ROARS]

Thundercats!

[WIND WHISTLING]

[SHIVERS]

Twenty below.

Just the kind of
weather we like.

Right, Snowmeow?

Snowmeow?

Snowmeow!

Come out of there.

Now!

Come out now, I say!

[CACKLING ECHOING]

This old mine is dangerous...

for more reasons than one.

Many a miner has gone in,

but not one has ever come out.

ALLURO: According to
this geological survey map,

there's a Thundrillium
mine on Hook Mountain.

Premium Thundrillium.

Some local superstition
keeps these Third Earthers

from entering the mine,

so it's all ours.

The Thundercats cannot
survive without Thundrillium.

If we controlled the supply,

that would make us

the undisputed
kingpins of Third Earth.

What are we waiting
for, Luna? Let's go get it.

I'm off to the Berbil Village

to deliver these seedlings.

I may not be back
until late this evening.

Oh, take your time, Lion-O.

I'm spending the day
at the Tower of Omens,

showing that nephew of mine

how to hook up
the tracking beam.

Need any help?

No, I don't, thank you.

I may not be the
superheroic type,

but I'm perfectly capable

of installing a
tracking unit, snarf.

LION-O [LAUGHS]: Snarf,

anybody that can
put up with all of us

is pretty superheroic
in my book.

[GROWLING]

SNOW KNIGHT: Who are you?

What do you want here?

The answers to your
questions are A, Lunataks,

and B,

Thundrillium from that mine.

I forbid you to enter.

It's too dangerous.

Forbid me?

Stand back, Luna.

I'll take care of this...

primitive.

Oh. oh!

I am concerned about your safety

even if you are not.

Show him who's boss, Chilla.

Come on, Chilla,
get us out of here.

We've got a mine to investigate.

I cannot leave, Snowmeow.

I've got to keep this
fire from spreading

and burning the whole forest.

You bring the Thundercats,

and hurry!

Look, Luna.

Pure Thundrillium!

[CACKLES]

Lucky for us,
these Third Earthers

are too cowardly to mine it.

[CACKLING]

Lucky for me,

you're not!

I am the Mad Bubbler.

[CACKLES]

Welcome. I hope
you like bubbles.

[COUGHING]

I'm choking in here.

Breathe deeply and inhale
the vapors of Mine Madness.

If there is any
evil in your heart,

the vapor will cause
it to flourish and grow

until you are consumed

by your own violent impulses.

Here is all that remains

of the last mining party.

They became victims
of the Mine Madness.

Doomed to spend their days

on an endless
course of destruction.

No one can escape.

You are doomed to
destroy or be destroyed.

[CACKLING]

ALL: Destroy or be destroyed!

How about a little
freezer burn, Amok?

Ow!

Hurts!

[CACKLES]

Destroy or be destroyed!

AMOK: Oh! Too cold!

CHEETARA [OVER RADIO]:
Come in, Tower of Omens.

Come in. Your
status report, please.

Tower of Omens here.

Status is hunky-dory, all aces.

Uncle Snarf is showing me

how to hook up
the tracking beam.

Making any progress?

Oh, you betcha, yessirree, bob.

No problems.

Well, uh,

ahem, maybe a minor snag.

Minor snag? Snarf!

I'd hate to see what
he calls a major snag.

Good enough, Tower of Omens.

Cheetara out.

Look who I ran into outside.

He's been trying to
tell me something,

but I can't figure
out what it is.

[PURRS]

I'm getting a strong
telepathic impulse

from Snowmeow.

Hook Mountain, fire,

Snowman in trouble.

We've gotta move
fast, Thundercats.

To the Feliner!

♪ Thundercats are loose ♪

There he is.

Oh! Whoa!

Oh!

Whoa!

The heat, it's melting the ice,

causing a water slide!

Hurry, Thundercats!

TYGRA: Fire hoses
engaged. Ready when you are.

Let's do it.

Good work, my friends, you sa...

Oh, oh!

Look down there.

Oh, whoa!

Take us down over that basin.

I'm going after him.

That tree trunk
severed the line!

TYGRA: They'll be
washed over the cliff!

[♪♪♪]

CHEETARA: Quick,

reverse the main propulsion
unit's neutron converter.

Maybe we can produce
some instant freeze.

TYGRA: I'm reprogramming
the neutron converter now.

CHEETARA: Engage converter now.

SNOW KNIGHT: Whoa-whoa-whoa!

PANTHRO: Pretty
slick, Thundercats.

[PANTING]

Thank you, Thundercats.

But there's more
trouble up here.

Some creatures that call
themselves "Lunataks"

have gone into the
Thundrillium mine.

That mine is full of
Premium Thundrillium.

We can't let the Lunataks
get their hands on that.

We'll stop them,
Snowman. Bet on it.

But you can't go in there.

Others have gone in,

but no one has ever come out.

With all due respects, Snowman,
they weren't Thundercats.

I don't like this, Snowmeow.

I don't like it at all.

LUNA: Surprise!

Typical Lunatak behavior.

Too busy fighting

amongst themselves to
get anything accomplished.

LUNA: Destroy them!

[MAD BUBBLER CACKLING]

Struggle as hard as
you like, Thundercats,

but there is no escape.

No cure for Mine Madness.

In every heart,

there are the seeds

of evil.

Breathe deeply, Thundercats,

and those seeds will flower.

You will be the seeds

of your own destruction!

[CACKLES]

We've got to break out
of here, Thundercats!

TYGRA [GRUNTING]:
This stuff is light as air,

but stronger than steel.

MAD BUBBLER:
Destroy or be destroyed!

ALL [DRONING]:
Destroy or be destroyed.

What? Who? Where?

That mine is inoperable
for our purposes.

But look on the bright side,

There's three
Thundercats in there

that are never coming out.

[ALL CACKLE]

[MECHANICAL VOICE] Thank you

for bringing the
seedlings, Lion-O.

My pleasure, Ro-Bear-Bill.

Uh-oh. Trouble.

Sword of Omens, give
me sight beyond sight!

LION-O: Great Jaga! I
don't believe my eyes.

Tygra, Cheetara, and Panthro
at one another's throats.

Sword of Omens,

show me where they are.

The Hook Mountain
Thundrillium mine.

I don't know what's
going on up there,

but I'm going to
put a stop to it.

There's a legend about
that old mine, Lion-O.

It is said that
whoever enters there

will be destroyed by
the evil in his own heart.

Those are Thundercats you're
talking about, Ro-Bear-Bill.

Do you think that they or
any of us are capable of evil?

JAGA: The legend
is true, Lion-O.

Jaga!

Ro-Bear-Bill spoke the truth.

But I am lord of
the Thundercats.

How could I be worthy
of such a position

if there were any
evil in my heart?

In all of us, Lion-O,

there is the capacity
for good and evil.

It is a choice.

But if you enter that mine,

you will lose the
ability to choose,

and will be
compelled to do evil.

In all the universe,

there is only one
species completely devoid

of all evil capabilities.

That is the snarf.

Send for Snarf
and Snarfer, Lion-O.

Ro-Bear-Bill, I've got to get
to Hook Mountain quickly.

Thunder, thunder, thunder.

Thundercats, h*!

Now just as soon as I can
get these E sockets separated...

Uncle Snarf, look, the
Thundercats' signal!

Get me outta this mess,
Snarfer, we gotta move!

SNARF: Lion-O, thank
Jaga you're all right.

I'm fine, Snarf. But
Cheetara, Panthro,

and Tygra aren't fine at all.

[♪♪♪]

Now, uh, just keep
a cool head, Snarfer,

and everything will be fine.

Sure thing, Uncle Snarf.

No sweat.

Ya-ah-ah-ah!

[CACKLING]

Welcome, my doomed friends.

Destroy or be destroyed.

[BOTH COUGHING]

What'd he say?

Beats me, Uncle.

Some character, huh?

Pee-yew, what a stench.

Uncle Snarf, look.

Come on, Snarfer.

[YELPS]

Uh!

Look out, Uncle Snarf!

I'll get you, you miserable,
interfering fur ba*ls!

They're gaining on us!

Keep moving,

we're almost out of the mine!

Thundercats, h*!

What...? What happened in there?

TYGRA: Snarf, Snarfer.

You saved our lives.

All in a day's work,
Tygra, snarf, snarf.

That's what we
snarfs are here for.

Yessirree, bob,
snarfer, snarfer.

ALL: Thundercats, h*!

♪ Thunder, thunder,
thunder Thundercats ♪

[♪♪♪]

The trick to setting up
these tracking units, Snarf,

is keeping the
frequencies separated.

I guess I made kind
of a mess out of it, huh?

Snarf.

Don't worry about it, Snarf.

You and Snarfer
earned your day's pay,

no doubt about it.

You both performed bravely.

And wasn't it you, Snarf,
who said this morning

that you weren't the
superheroic type?

No, it couldn't have been.

And to think I thought
that life on Third Earth

was liable to be dull.

Just shows to go you...

Er, uh, goes to show you,

you... You never can tell.

Uh, I think you got those
reversed, Uncle Snarf.

I know what I'm
doing now, Nephew.

This is an E frequency,

and this is an
impulse conductor.

You put them together and...

No, Snarf!

Snarf!

Oh-oh-oh-ooh-oh!

I guess maybe I'd better
stick to superheroics,

and leave the electronics
to Panthro. It's safer.
