- [hissing]

- Put us down, you dumb robot!

Don't worry, I'm gonna bite

my way free!

[screams] Ow.

Quick, while WilyKit

still has teeth!

ThunderCats h*!

[grunts] Nice trick,

but that laser is no match

for my blade!

[grunting with effort]

[hisses angrily]

[WilyKat screams]

All right, Panthro,

let's take out its legs!

- [grunting]

- [hissing]

Whoa, he's strong!

[meows aggressively]

Whoa! Nice one, Snarfy!

All right.

Eat soap, you dirt!

[grunting]

Take this, Robo-punk!

[groans]

Another criminal

off the intergalactic streets.

Thanks for your help,

ThunderCats. I'm outta here.

Ooh, wait!

[stutters] Don't go, Mandora!

I think there's some more laws

being broken right over there!

Hey, Brutemen! You guys

want some Candy fruit?

[moos]

Open wide! [laughs]

[moos]

- I love this game.

- [all laughing]

So rude! All right,

what's the plan, Mandora?

How we gonna

take these guys in?

Sorry, Tiger-Oaf.

There are no laws

on Third Earth,

so everything that happens here

is legal.

That can't be true.

Are you questioning

my knowledge of space laws?

Um, no [chuckles nervously]

Of course not.

Let's check.

Hmm. Let's see. Thantos Five,

Thiradorath, and uh

Thir gax. Nope,

nothin' here for Third Earth.

Really? How old is that book?

Maybe, we're still listed

as Second Earth?

[growls]

[nervous chuckling, stuttering]

Um, I mean,

but you arrested Scorp-iax!

Scorp-iax copied and sold

holo-films on Thirgax,

which violates Thirgaxian law.

Wait a minute!

What if I made a law?

You'd have to

enforce it, right?

Of course. But making good laws

is complicated.

- It takes a long time

- [gasps] Ooh.

lots of paperwork

and many people

- need to work together.

- [gasps] Ooh!

Are you listening to me?

You wanna make some laws,

go for it.

But think about

what you're doing, Tiger-Oaf.

Laws have consequences!

[Scorp-Iax] Laws are stupid

and hard to figure out!

Can I be her when I grow up?

[announcer] That night!

[humming]

[kisses, sighs]

[announcer] 30 business days

later!

[gasps] I made a law! Yes!

[all laughing]

Hey, Brutemen, guess what?

We're gonna come in

and beat you up

and steal all your diamonds.

And there's nothing

you can do about it!

- [all laughing]

- [Tygra] Oh, yes, there is!

Check it out!

Third Earth's very first law,

[reading] "No trespassing."

Which means no entering

the Brutemen's Village

without permission.

Lemme see this.

[mumbling, laughs]

Uh, excuse me, Brutemen.

Could we please come in

to beat you up

- and steal your diamonds?

- [both moo]

- Thanks, Dingus!

- Hey, wait a second.

[all cackling]

[Monkian groans] Ooh. Ooh.

Fast ball, comin' at ya!

- [moos]

- Ooh. Strike! [laughs]

Um Butt time!

- [laughs]

- Hey, you can't do that.

[Lion-O] ThunderCats h*!

Cease and desist, mutants!

[laughs cunningly] Wrong move,

ThunderCats.

Mandora, come quick!

The ThunderCats trespassed into the

Brutemen's village without asking.

- Hey, that's not fair!

- You can't call the cops!

Uh-oh.

All right, ThunderCats,

explain yourselves.

We came in here to save

the Brutemen from the mutants!

Hmm. Brutemen,

did these guys ask

for permission

- to enter your village?

- [both moo]

- What about these guys?

- [both moo]

But they're beating them up

and stealing their diamonds!

There's no Third Earth law

against that, yes?

Uh, I'm actually asking.

There isn't, is there?

There is not. Looks like

you ThunderCats broke the law.

If you don't leave right now,

I'll arrest you all!

Thanks for the law,

Thunder-Dorks.

[moos in pain]

[grumbles] You won't

thank me next time.

[announcer] Next time!

[humming]

[announcer] 30 business days

later!

Ooh!

Ha! I rule!

Thanks for the diamonds,

dummies!

[moos]

- Not so fast!

- [both gasp]

It is now ill*gal to touch

anyone else's stuff!

Give them back the diamonds

or we're calling the cops!

We'll see about that!

Hey, Brutemen!

Take the diamonds

back to Castle Plun-Darr for us!

- [mooing]

- [laughs] I love these guys.

[all mooing]

Hey, what

No! That's cheating.

I know how to fix this.

ThunderCats h*!

Take a load off, friend!

[all] Yay! All right.

[laughs cunningly]

[all groaning]

Touching the Brutemen's

property?

- Argh!

- You should know better, Tygra,

you wrote that law!

Ugh. Yeah that's the letter

of the law, Mandora.

But the spirit of the law!

The spirit!

Sorry. As an officer of the

Interplanetary Control Force, I am sworn

to enforce the laws as written.

- [laughing wickedly]

- Fine! I'll just keep

passing laws

until I get you darn mutants!

You're no match

for my legal prowess!

Ten thousand hours

of community service.

Those tickets really add up.

I barely recognize this place.

What were you thinking, Tygra?

Look, I didn't think

the mutants

were smart enough to get around

every law and take over!

I admit,

I got a little carried away.

A little?

You outlawed Candy fruit!

I wanted to stop people

from throwing them.

And they're bad for your teeth.

They are not! See?

- That was a baby tooth!

- Hey!

I parked here for five minutes!

Watch it with the noise!

Oh, great,

it's the ThunderCats.

What are you gonna do,

kick over my box?

Mumm-Ra!

What happened to you?

The mutants have eminent domain

over my pyramid!

- What does that mean?

- They took it over,

and they're using it to store all

their loot. What did you guys do?

[all] Huh?

Uh, I tried to make Third Earth

a better place?

Well, that worked out great.

Oh, look, it's time

for the jerk-face parade!

- [all gasping] Huh?

- Later, losers!

[Brutemen mooing]

That's it. Put your

backs into it. [laughs]

[laughs heartily]

[giggles] This is great.

Everybody loves us!

[moos]

This is awful.

We have to do something.

- Let's punch 'em!

- Punching is against the law.

Then I'm gonna use

my Sword of Omens!

Using weapons is also

against the law.

Plus, you can't say

"ThunderCats h*!" anymore.

Tygra, why would you

make that a law?

Yeah, man. That's uncool

even for you.

- [meows aggressively]

- No, Snarf, no biting!

- [meows disappointedly]

- There's gotta be some

- legal way to save the Brutemen.

- Oh, forget it!

Laws aren't worth following

if they get people hurt.

Let's solve this

the old-fashioned way!

- [all] Okay.

- [grunts]

ThunderCats [muffled] h*!

- [all mooing]

- [all gasp]

Hey, mutants.

This parade is canceled!

Why? Are we breaking one of

Tygra's little laws?

- Nope! We are!

- Looks like I'm gonna have to call

- [groans]

- [all mooing]

- Let's get 'em!

- [all grunt]

All right, mutants. We've come

this far obeying the laws.

We can't afford to lose

our status by committing

an infraction.

You know what to do!

Assume the only

legal defense position!

Forget your legal positions!

You're about to get litigated!

- What's that mean?

- Why don't you find out?

Weapons are ill*gal!

So is stepping on

the Brutemen's lawn!

I do not consent to you

in my space!

I don't consent to you

being in my space!

Laying down laws!

He's laying down laws! ♪

[grunting]

Ah, my beautiful float!

My bad, I guess this property

belongs in your estate!

Uh No!

[groaning]

So you guys are just gonna

go down without a fight?

Can't you see we're in

the middle of a legal dispute?

- [grunts]

- [Lion-O] Yeah. Well, you just touched my stuff

- [gasps] Argh!

- without my permission.

[grunting] Mutants,

we've got nothing to lose now,

let's get 'em!

[all screaming]

- Hmph.

- [grunts]

- 'Supe you!

- [yells]

[both screaming]

- [cackling]

- Ew! Stop that!

I'll break you

like I broke the law!

Head butt!

[all grunting, groaning]

[moos]

[moos]

Everyone freeze!

What are you doing?

Do you know how many laws

you just broke?

I don't care! Laws are stupid

and hard to figure out,

and I'd rather be good

than lawful!

Also, we broke 24 laws.

I counted.

See? I told you making

good laws was complicated.

It takes a lot of people

working together

for the common good.

Not one person trying

to create a quick fix

to a single problem.

Oh, that's what you meant by

"think about

what you're doing."

[chuckles] Looks like Mandora

was teaching you a lesson.

I'm sorry, Mandora.

You were right.

I just made up any old law

and didn't think about

the consequences.

I won't do that again.

I'm glad you've learned

to treat laws

and lawmaking with respect.

Wow, I can't believe

you let him make up

all those fake laws

just to prove a point.

Wrong! Those were

real laws you broke.

You're under arrest.

Wait! Can't I just

repeal the laws?

Sure. It's way more paperwork.

But don't worry, you'll have

plenty of time in space jail.

Interplanetary Control Force,

I have ten criminals coming in

in for processing.

Hold on tight.

[Lion-O] Aw, man, space jail again?

Mmm, man, I thought those guys

would never leave.

I know right? Phew.

Wanna go beat up some bolkins?

- [laughing]

- Yeah, right.
