Trivia
It was going to get a theatrical release, but when the animated TV series-to-theatrical films GoBots: Battle of the Rock Lords (1986) and My Little Pony: The Movie (1986) bombed at the box office, it ended up being released as a two-hour TV movie, which was later split into five parts for the TV series.

Goofs
The Berserkers drowned at the end of "The Terror of Hammerhand", which was why Mumm-Ra raised Hammerhand's spirit from the ocean in "Spitting Image", but here they are shown to be alive as though this never happened.

Quotes
Young Lion-O: We've abandoned them, Jaga. They were our countrymen.
Jaga: [taking his shoulders] One day, as Lord of the Thundercats, you will have to make many hard decisions, Lion-O. This is but the first of them.

Thundercats are on the move, Thundercats are loose!

Originally released as a TV movie, "Thundercats HO!" was later split up into 5 separate episodes which became the beginning episodes of the second season of the animated show. In the movie, Lion-O learns that there are three Thunderians who survived the explosion that destroyed their home planet of Thundera and that they are now on Third Earth. The Thundercats thus embark on a mission to locate the Thunderians. However, their mortal enemy, Mumm-ra, spares no effort to thwart the Thundercats' quest.

Apart from the Thundercats and Mumm-ra, the movie boasts a massive cast of returning characters from the first season as well as introducing a host of new characters. Everything about this movie is top-notch. Good animation, clever storyline, interesting characters and great action sequences, this is a must-watch for all Thundercats fans.
