ThunderCatsLair.org - Deleted Scene 3

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 third scene provides some fascinating background info on the Mutants, with Tygra's surprised exclamation that the Mutant factions are fighting together as allies adding much background to their uneasy alliance and lack of loyalty when subsequently working together on Third Earth. We also see S-S-Slithe explain how the Mutants knew that the Thunderian fleet would be so easy to defeat, adding a sense of murderous ruthlessness to the Reptillian's character.
