Foolish ThunderCats.
You cannot stop the Chest of Eternal Winters.
-So windy. -Ugh, the wind.
-We gotta close that chest. -Right.
ThunderCats, HO!
-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.
-[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, ho, ho. 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]
