[ROARS]

Thundercats!

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

Careful, Tygra.

That time capsule
is dangerous cargo.

I know, Lion-O.

Those suspended animation
gases are very unstable.

The capsule could
blow apart at any minute.

The sooner we
get this thing buried,

the better I'll like it.

Take her a bit to the right.

You've got it.

[♪♪♪]

Lion-O!

Look out!

TYGRA: This thing's
going to overturn!

Argh!

I... I can't breathe.

[COUGHS]

I... I feel so strange.

Lion-O, are you all right?

All right? Heh, I feel great!

Really great!

[LION-O LAUGHS]

I'm afraid I have
some very bad news.

What's happened?

Snarf, snarf. Where's Lion-O?

[♪♪♪]

LION-O [HIGH-VOICED]: Gee,
these spaceboards are so neat.

Thunder, thunder, thunder...

Thundercats! Whoa!

[GLASS SHATTERING]

[GRUNTING]

Lion-O!

You... You're...

Lion-O! Lord of the Thundercats.

Uh, sorry about your
control board, Cheetara.

What on Third Earth
has happened here?

We were burying one of
the time-suspension capsules

that transported the
Thundercats to Third Earth.

The capsule smashed apart,

and Lion-O was
enveloped in its gases.

You can see the effects.

Lion-O is getting younger
and younger every minute.

[LION-O SINGING SOFTLY]

Uh, Lion-O?

Why don't you and Snarf
go play outside for a while.

Gee, just when things
were gettin' interestin'.

Snarf, snarf. Come on, Lion-O.

Don't worry, we'll
lick this together.

Old Snarf won't let ya down.

Lion-O is in terrible danger.

If the effects of the
gas can't be stopped,

Lion-O will get
younger and younger,

becoming one day
old, one minute old,

one second old,
then nonexistent.

Nonexistent!

That'll be like being invisible.

Snarf, snarf.

Aw, no hugging.

It's mushy.

Snarf!

Somethin' strange
is goin' on inside me.

I'm getting smaller.

You're getting
younger. Snarf, snarf.

It's the weirdest
feeling, Snarf.

About every hour, this
red light surrounds me

and I get littler and littler.

Did you tell Tygra that?

Naw. He'd just worry.

You know what grownups are like.

There must be
something we can do.

Well...

we might have one chance.

We might be able to
reverse the effects of the gas

if we could put Lion-O
into the Cave of Time.

The cave advances the
passage of time and...

Tygra, that's dangerous.

You almost died
in the Cave of Time.

We'd have to pull
Lion-O out of the cave

at just the right time.

It is dangerous, but right now,

it's the only choice we've got.

[♪♪♪]

[LUNA CACKLING]

A miniature Thundercat.

Just ripe for the picking.

[CACKLES]

Snarf, snarf.

You shouldn't have hidden

from the other
Thundercats, Lion-O.

SNARF [ON SCREEN]:
They're only trying to help.

And now you've got
me so confused and...

Hey, Snarf, we can get
to that cave by ourselves.

I'm lord of the
Thundercats, remember?

Maybe on the way to that
cave, we'll get some bad guys.

Snarf, snarf.

But, Lion-O, you're
just a little boy.

And you didn't eat
your breakfast yet and...

Worry, worry-urry.

We're gonna have fun, Snarfy.

Don't be such a wimpy-dimpy.

Come on, Snarf.

Catch me if ya can.

Whaaa!

[LUNA CACKLING]

Worry-urry, wimpy-dimpy.

Well, you
miserable little squirt.

I'll make sure you never
reach the Cave of Time,

and that will be one less
Thundercat to deal with.

[♪♪♪]

How much longer to
the Cave of Time, Snarf?

I'm bored.

Soon, Lion-O.
We'll get there soon.

Snarf, snarf.

Boy, Snarf, I wish
I was a grownup.

Then I could get to
drive the ThunderTank

and fight bad guys and...

You've got to make the best
of who you are now, Lion-O.

Now is all anybody's ever got.

Snarf, snarf.

Wow! Look at that.

Gallopin' Gomplins.

A shortcut.

No, Lion-O! Don't!

That's the River of Despair.

We have to cross
it further upstream.

So it's the River of Despair.

So what? It's
still just a river.

What does "despair" mean?

Oh, Lion-O, come back.

Please come back. Snarf, snarf.

Hah! Don't worry
about me, Snarf.

There's nothin' to it.

Ahh!

[GROWLING]

Help, Snarf! Help!

Don't worry, Lion-O,
old Snarf'll save you.

Snarf!

[GROWLS]

LION-O: Snarf!

[ROARING]

N-no!

N-n-no!

[♪♪♪]

SNARF: Look out, Lion-O!
It's coming after you!

Phew...

That was close.

Snarf, snarf.

Whoever set that trap
for the Tongue-a-saurus

sure did us a favor. Snarf.

LUNA: No such luck, Thundercats.

That trap was meant for you.

BOTH: For... For us?

Take it easy, Thundercats.

Everything will be cool.

Back off, Lunatak,

or you'll have old
Snarf to reckon with.

Take a chill pill, furball.

LION-O: Let me
out of here, Chilla.

Or you'll be in big trouble.

You're messing with the
lord of the Thundercats.

[LUNA AND CHILLA LAUGH]

The sword, Lion-O.

Use the sword.

Sword of Omens,
come to my rescue.

That's my boy.

You insolent little runt.

[SCREAMS]

Snarf, snarf!

Get us out of here!

LUNA: Enough!

Gee, I... I'm sorry, Snarf.

Oh, this is all my fault.

Silence, child.

[SCREECHES]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

LUNA: So!

The lord of the Thundercats...

a little child.

Before I finish you off,
I will study the process

that caused you to
regain your youth,

and I will use it to
regain my youth.

You just wait till I tell
Panthro what you guys did.

He'll turn you into Berbil food.

Why, you miserable little...

Ow!

No! Stop him, Amok!

Thunder,

thunder, thunder,

Thundercats! h*!

[ROARS]

[♪♪♪]

By thunder, we've found him.

PANTHRO: We've found Lion-O.

h*!

h*!

[SHRIEKS]

Yeah, Lion-O! Give
'em one for old Snarf.

This way, Snarf.

Quick!

Hurry, Snarf,
they're gaining on us.

[♪♪♪]

Snarf, look!

LION-O: Now
we'll really lose 'em.

Ha, I really fooled 'em
that time, eh, Snarf?

Those two were no match

for the lord of the Thundercats.

Why, I had...

Whoa!

[SNARF SHRIEKING]

[ECHOING] Whoa! Whoa!

Don't worry, Snarf.
I'll get us out of here.

Ow!

Snarf. Snarf!

Help me!

It's happening again.

I'm getting younger...

smaller...

Snarf, snarf.

It's happening faster
than ever before!

The process is speeding up!

Snarf. Lion-O little.

I think I might know a way

to get us out of
this place, Lion-O.

Climb up on my shoulders.

We'll get out the
same way we got in.

[PANTING]

Lion-O too little.

Lion-O hungry.

When we go home?

[LUNA SNEERS]

You'll never get home.

You're trapped here
until you fade away.

[♪♪♪]

PANTHRO: Lion-O's signal came

from the same
coordinates as Sky-Tomb.

Those blasted Lunataks
must have gotten ahold of him.

It's gonna take
some fancy footwork

to get into Sky-Tomb.

That place is a fortress.

We have to get Lion-O out now.

By my reckoning, he's
already only 3 years old

and getting
younger all the time.

The heat is on, Thundercats.

TYGRA: Lunatak, at


Whoa!

Cheetara's in trouble.

We're all in trouble.

[♪♪♪]

[SCREAMING]

I thought it would be
tough to get into Sky-Tomb.

Guess it wasn't
that tough after all.

The really tough part is
going to be getting out.

Tygra. What's
happening to Lion-O?

[♪♪♪]

He's down to 2 years old!

He doesn't have much time left.

We've got to get
him out of here.

Wait. Maybe...

Maybe Lion-O can get us out.

Now that Lion-O is smaller,

maybe he can fit
through these bars

and open the door
from the outside.

Wanna give it
a try, little fella?

Lion-O Thundercat.

[♪♪♪]

[LOCK CLICKING]

[BABY VOICE] Thundercats h*!

ALL: h*!

We're not out of here yet.

We may have a fight
on our hands any second.

Just let them try to stop us.

I masterminded the
conquest of the Thundercats.

The sword is rightfully mine.

You didn't lift a
finger to defeat them.

The sword belongs to me.

The rest of you get
to the ThunderTank.

I've got a little
something to take care of.

Where's Panthro?

SNARF: Here he comes.

What was that?

Just a little insurance
to buy us some time.

I crossed the wires
on the Luna Tacker.

We won't be seeing those
Lunataks for quite a while.

I think we've
forgotten something.

Sword.

Sword.

Come Lion-O's hand.

[LION-O CRYING]

Come on, Lion-O.

Please, go into the cave.

Please, Lion-O.

Stop crying and
go into the cave.

Maybe I could carry
him into the cave myself.

No way, Panthro.

You and I are too old.

The Cave of Time
would age us too quickly.

It would k*ll us.

Lion-O is much younger than we.

The cave will advance
him to his normal age.

Then we'll pull him
out with this rope.

If we could only
make him stop crying,

maybe he'd crawl into the cave.

Maybe this will
get the little guy

to stop all that howling.

Look at Panthro, little fella.

[BABBLES]

Maybe this will stop his crying.

[CRYING SLOWS]

[CRYING CONTINUES]

I've got an idea.

Hey, Panthro, do you still keep

those emergency rations
in the ThunderTank?

Snarf, this is no time
to think about eating.

You don't understand, Panthro.

Snarf, snarf.

Lion-O hasn't eaten in hours.

It's way past his feeding time.

Maybe he's crying
'cause he's hungry.

Well, we've tried
everything else.

Might as well give it a shot.

Emergency C-rations.

Just like Mother used to make.

Snarf, snarf.

I sure hope this works.

[CRYING CONTINUES]

Here you are, little guy.

[CRYING STOPS]

[WATER DRIPPING]

[BABBLES]

[♪♪♪]

TYGRA: If my
calculations are correct,

we should pull Lion-O out...

right... now!

[♪♪♪]

Jumpin' Jupiter. It worked!

I... I don't understand.

Memory's hazy.

Where have I been?

And where in the world
did I get this biscuit?

It's hard as a rock.

Nearly broke my tooth on it.

[ALL LAUGH]

♪ Thunder, thunder,
thunder Thundercats! ♪

[♪♪♪]

Will you look at that.

When Lion-O was
transformed to a child,

he caused more trouble
than a pack of bobcats.

"Lion-O was here."

And he left teething marks
all over my nunchucks.

And my tail.

Lion-O, it's good to have
you back to your old self.

You were one of the most
mischievous little kittens

I've ever seen.

Well, I...

don't remember
exactly what happened.

But from what I heard,
I was a real wildcat.

Panthro, I heard what
happened to your nunchucks,

so I made you a new weapon.
