Foolish ThunderCats.

You cannot stop the Chest

of Eternal Winters.

- So windy.

- Ugh, the wind.

- We gotta close that chest.

- Right.

ThunderCats, h*!

- Ugh. Give up already.

- [all] Whoa!

[all grunting]

- Keep away.

- [all] Ah!

[chuckles]

Keep your grubby paws

off of that.

- This is not for cats.

- [both screaming]

- Evil snowball!

- That's not good.

- [screaming]

- Panthro.

Icicle-slicicle.

[meowing]

New plan. I'll distract Mumm-Ra

while Tygra closes the chest.

You really think you can distract me?

I have excellent focus.

Well, we have excellent

distractions.

But first, we all gotta

vote on my plan.

- Um. What?

- Well ya see, I'm for sure The Lord of the ThunderCats,

but we actually

vote on all our big decisions.

And every ThunderCat

gets a vote.

If even one cat objects,

we call the plan off.

- I've never seen you do that.

- It doesn't come up very often.

Now, all in favor of my plan?

- Aye.

- Aye.

- Aye.

- [affirmative meow]

Vote all you want,

you'll never distract me.

- But I just did.

- Aye!

[grunting]

- I did it.

- Aw, c'mon.

The Ancient Spirits of Evil

just gave me that chest.

- Hey, Mummy-Butt.

- Uh-oh.

[all grunting]

Good job, Thundies. Now let's go

home and drink hot chocolate.

[all] Yeah! We did it!

Curse those ThunderCats. How

can they be so annoying?

Ow. Ugh.

Imagine, voting on everything,

how ridiculous.

Why, all it would take is one

evil person with a vote to

Mess up their whole deal.

Ancient Spirits of Evil.

Grant me your power, transform

me into a Thunderian,

and I will infiltrate the ThunderCats.

[evil chuckle]

Did you hear me or uh

Mumm-Ra, you keep

using our powers

for evil schemes

and then failing.

Sure, but

And you always tell everyone,

we gave you

the power.

It makes us look bad

when you beef it.

I have never

beefed it.

No more power for you.

Spirits out.

[scoffs] I don't

need their help.

How hard could

a disguise be?

Crafting with Mummra ♪

[laughs] Mummy likey. Shame

to cut it up, though.

Mmm. [chuckles] A little of this,

little of that. There we go.

[laughs]

It's perfect, the ThunderCats

will never suspect a thing.

[evil laugh]

Morning, Tygra.

[groans]

I don't feel so good. [coughs]

What's wrong? Did you drink too

much hot chocolate last night?

No, I think I got a cold

from being half-frozen.

That makes sense. I drank

too much hot chocolate.

[stomach rumbling]

What are you trying to

tell me?

Out of the way, buddy.

Dr. Panthro coming through.

Diagnosis, you're sick.

You'd better lie down and get plenty

of liquids, till you feel better.

Yeah, rest up, Tygra,

and we'll handle

everything today.

No one will bother you.

Promise.

Okay

He's like

a bubbly angel.

- [doorbell rings]

- It's the front door. Let's check it out,

and whatever it is, not

bother Tygra about it.

Who's there?

Hello.

[all gasp]

I'm a disgusting

cat-person just like you.

Your planet blew up and that was

my planet, so I'm here now.

My name is Pumm

Pumm-Ra.

Yes, Pumm-Ra the Cat-Man.

Uh That is all correct.

[all] Uh

[all talking simultaneously]

Wow. So great

to meet another Thunderian.

Sadly, you can't meet

Tygra because he's sick,

but you'll have plenty of

time to meet him later

because you should for

sure join the ThunderCats.

Lion-O. Thunderian or not, we

can't just make him a ThunderCat.

Hmm. You're right. Pumm-Ra can

only join the ThunderCats

if each one of us

votes to let him in.

But how will

we decide?

Easy, we'll each test Pumm-Ra

on whatever we think is most

important to being a ThunderCat.

And as Lord of the ThunderCats,

I hereby dub these tests

The Trials of Thundera!

- Cool.

- Great name.

- Awesome.

- Yeah.

Uh, cool, cool, cool.

That sounds great.

While you guys set that up, I'll just find

the litter box and do my cat business.

And maybe I'll catch and

consume a live mouse.

You know, cat stuff.

He's kind of weird.

[Lion-O] The Trials

of Thundera begin.

All right, Pumm-Ra.

For your first trial,

you have to get past

level one of Trash Fighter.

It's pretty much

the best game ever.

- "Trashed."

- [chuckles] This will be child's play.

Look. A vacuum.

Quick, fellow felines,

we must hide.

Time to cheat with my Mummy magic.

[laughs]

Phew. That was

a close one.

Anyhoo, while I was cowering in

fear, I beat your little game.

- Triple trashed.

- Wow. It took me weeks to get to triple trashed.

Well, you passed the trial.

Excellent. All is according

to plan. [laughs]

Don't look at that.

[groans] I guess

we gotta vote "yes."

Listen up, Pumm-Ra.

Being a ThunderCat is all about speed.

There's no way you're

gonna be as fast as me,

but you still gotta be

pretty dang fast

to make it all the way around

this track in ten seconds.

You're the boss, Cheetah-lady.

[giggles]

Ready, set, go.

You're toast, Pumm-Ra.

Dang it. I'm surprised to say

this, but you passed the trial.

That's a yes vote from me.

Hit the showers.

Wonderful.

But I don't need a shower.

I'll bathe myself

with my tongue

and pretend

that's just as good.

[shudders]

For my trial,

you'll be learning sword moves.

Every ThunderCat needs a weapon,

but swords are the best kind.

Behold.

The Sword Of Omens.

This move creates fire.

And this one creates water.

Pretty cool, huh?

Uh. I think I get it. Oh, h*, h*.

Dropped the sword.

One second, boss.

[chuckles]

Wow. Good form. I don't

even know how you did that.

I just gave you a stick

Um Uh Hey look.

A couch.

I'm gonna scratch it

all up even though

it looks expensive.

Meow, meow. [chuckles]

Eh, you get it.

Well I guess

you passed the test.

- Maybe Snarf'll vote against

- [sleepy meow]

- Aw, Snarf.

- [all groan]

Panthro,

it's just your trial left.

You gotta make sure

he fails.

Yeah, boot him outta here.

But I thought you were all

voting for Pumm-Ra to join.

Sure, cause he passed our

trials but he's so weird.

He drinks his milk from

a bowl on the floor.

- [slurping] Hello.

- Okay, that's weird.

But only the greatest of Thunderians

could pass my obstacle course.

You've got nothing

to worry about.

I hope you're right.

During my trial he

[all whispering]

Hmm, it seems these contemptible

ThunderCats are on to me.

I better cool it

with the magic cheating

and really double down

on the cat stuff.

Pumm-Ra.

Time for your last trial.

Good luck.

You're gonna need it.

Hey, uh

Where did everybody go?

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Behold, the final

trial of Thundera.

You gotta get through

my obstacle course,

defeat the bad guys and save the

innocent Third Earth bystanders.

- Oh, help me, Thundercats.

- Gross.

Now, go!

- You can do it.

- Do your best.

Don't worry.

He's totally gonna lose.

Time to use my very own signature

cat-beast weapon Yarn ball.

- [groans]

- So tacky.

Uh Take that.

Thank you for saving me.

Man, I can't believe he beat

my challenge so dumbly.

All right.

Think like a cat.

I know, I'll rub my head

up against his leg, annoyingly.

Purr, purr, purr.

Well. This is

making me uncomfortable.

At least he can't

beat the challenge doing that.

Purr, purr, purr.

Purr, purr, purr.

[robot] Overload.

- [all groan]

- How is that even possible?

There. He blew himself up

because I'm so irritating.

You are a true hero.

[Mumm-Ra] One more challenge

to go. I'm doing great.

[all exclaiming]

Meow, meow, meow.

Uh-oh. [screams]

Ugh, water.

A cat's worst nightmare.

What is he

even talking about?

[grunts] Well, just one big

handsome robot left. No big deal.

- You gotta do something.

- Stop him.

Don't worry, guys.

I got this.

Whoa. That's a lotta me's.

Oh, what if I Uh [gagging]

got something in my throat.

Oh, grody.

Cover your eyes. Ah. Now

somebody cover my eyes.

I gotcha, man.

Huh. Just a little hairball. Another

totally normal thing that cats do.

Thank you. I've been trapped under the

floor ever since we built this lair.

[screaming]

Oh, yeah. I did it. I get

to be a Thundercat now.

[laughs]

And so, as Lord of the

ThunderCats, I hereby declare

that Pumm-Ra is

an official ThunderCat.

Meow.

Unless someone

has a way out of this?

We all voted, so I think

we're stuck with him.

Maybe it won't be so bad?

[laughs] Now I will use

my vote as a ThunderCat

to undermine my enemies and become

the undisputed ruler of Third Earth!

[evil laugh]

- [screams] It's Mumm-Ra! He's in the base.

- Aw, dang it, Tygra.

I'll get you next time

- That was Mumm-Ra?

- Wait. You couldn't tell?

- Seriously?

- Oh, right.

Tygra needed to vote too.

So Pumm-Ra isn't a Thundercat.

Yay, Tygra.

[all cheering]
