ThunderCatsLair.org - Deleted Scene 8

When ThunderCats first appeared on TV screens in the 1980s, the series debuted on many TV stations courtesy of a special hour-long pilot episode. The footage from this pilot episode would go to make up the first two episodes of the TV series, "Exodus" and "The Unholy Alliance", once the series went into syndication. This pilot episode was later released on home video, and this home video is often referred to as the "movie version" of "Exodus".

Each regular episode of ThunderCats needed to be just over 20 minutes in length, and so as a consequence, when the ThunderCats pilot was cut down into two stand-alone episodes, several minutes of footage needed to be cut from "Exodus" in order to make the episode fit the time frame. These "deleted scenes" were not released by Warner Bros. on their DVD releases of ThunderCats, but the website www.thundercatslair.org is proud to now present each of these cut scenes in all their glory!

This scene further showcases how muddled Lion-O's memory was immediately upon emerging from his Suspension Capsule, as he fails to remember that the Capsules contain the other ThunderCats until the Sword of Omens reminds him - it also shows some dramatic animation, again cut from the stand-alone episode, showing the ThunderCats bursting free of their Capsules ready to fight the Mutants. This version of the scene also features some slightly different music cues to those used in the stand-alone episode.
