ThunderCatsLair.org - Deleted Scene 1 ThunderCats Exodus cartoon

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 first scene is an extended version of the opening scene from "Exodus", and shows Wilykat and Panthro engaging in some good-natured verbal sparring, helping to establish the relaxed familiarity that exists between the characters. This scene also showcases the reverence that the ThunderCats all show towards Jaga, which adds impact to his sacrifice later in the episode.

It was deleted for the syndication repeats, which are the copies that got released on the official DVD's. The only way to own the uncut version is a copy of the original TV airing from 1985 or a copy of the VHS 'Exodus' released by FHE in the USA and Video Collection in the UK in the late 80's. You should be able to find that VHS on eBay.

Technically, they're not naked and the rest of the time it's like they're wearing armor.

@rang3r34

Funny how this got past the censors don't you think? despite there's no nipples on the tits, it's still arousing. This was my first exposure to a naked girl in animation when i was 4 when i saw this epsiode as i was blushing, hell when i was 16 rewatching the show on Toonami when they had neat anime i got a boner. The new Cheetara is just as sexy.

[rang3r34]
