Pre-Owned Thundercats: Season 2 Vol. 1 [6 Discs] (DVD 0012569753525)

0012569753525. Pre-Owned: Good condition. DVD. Run time: 30 mins. Language: English. Entering its second season as the top-rated animated half-hour series in daily strip syndication Thundercats supplies its fans with 65 new adventures pitting the super-powered feline-like protagonists against the monstrous minions of Mumm-Ra — and as usual shamelessly promotes the multitude of Thundercat toys and action figures churned out by Leisure Concepts Inc. This season offers quite a few multi-part stories all of them eminently adaptable as two hour specials beginning with the five-part opener ThunderCats Ho! which introduces several new good-guy characters: Pumyra the female puma Bengali the white tiger and Lynxo the blind lynx all transformed into full-fledged ThunderCats by group leader Lion-O. This is followed by another five-parter Mumm-Ra Lives wherein the titular villain presumably destroyed in the previous adventures returns for more deviltry with the help of his powerful alter ego Ma-Mutt and a race known as the Luna-Tacks. In the process viewers are introduced to another new Thundercat: Snarfer the nephew of longtime regular Snarf. Twenty individual self-contained episodes go by before the next five-part escapade ThunderCubs which finds Panthro Cheetara Tygra Snarf and Snarfer regressing to childhood while passing through the Canyons of Youth on New Thundera. Then it s 15 additional single episodes before viewers are treated to the five-part Return to Thundera in which the Thundercats make a return trip to their earthquake-shattered (but still amazingly intact) home planet. The 130th and final episode The Book of Omens boils down to the ultimate showdown between Lion-O and Mumm-Ra — with neither opponent utilizing the magic powers that are traditionally at their disposal.
