After the destruction of their home planet Thundera, the titular ThunderCats fly off to a new home, only to crash land on Third Earth after being shot down by their arch-enemies, the Mutants. Following a scuffle with the Mutants, Lion-O pursues them into the wild while the rest of the ThunderCats meet the Berbils whose village their ship unknowingly destroyed in the crash. Luckily, the Berbils are quick builders and opt to build their base while warning them of Mumm-Ra. Lion-O ends up encountering Mumm-Ra when chased by the Mutants to the villain's pyramid, with Mumm-Ra destroying the Mutants' ship before returning to his lair.
Lion-O enters the pyramid to thank Mumm-Ra, only to learn he is evil while revealing the presence of the other Thundercats on Third Earth. Mumm-Ra, explaining his Doomstaff grants him power while establishing a curse where anyone who says his name is struck by lightning, chains Lion-O up and uses a portal to attack the ThunderCats' new home. Mumm-Ra makes short work of the team despite their resistance, with Lion-O and Snarf arriving too late. Things seemed hopeless until Mumm-Ra unintentionally praised the Berbils as they hug him with his own curse used against him, enabling the ThunderCats to break free with Lion-O destroying Mumm-Ra's staff. Mumm-Ra, reverted to his natural form, escapes and Lion-O promises to stay with his team and lead them to victory.
A crying unicorn appears at the Cats' Lair and weepily tells the ThunderCats that all of her unicorn friends have been captured! Tygra thinks he's just the unicorn expert to help the last of the unicorns, he just needs her to stop sobbing long enough to tell him who took her friends. Easier said than done.
After losing a race to Monkian over who gets to be leader of a local village, Cheetara becomes a successful business person. However, the other Thundercats discover Monkian cheated by drinking a super-speed potion. Now, with the help of Cheetara's biggest fan, Jan-Jan, they need to dethrone Monkian from his seat of power.
The Thundercats are exhausted from fighting bad guys all the time so Lion-O suggests they spend a relaxing summer fun day at the beach, with no fighting! Unfortunately the beach is home to the Crabmen, giant, clawed humanoids that fight anyone who steps on their sand! Looks like summer fun day might involve some fighting!
Lion-O is happily playing with Snarf in their "Frolicking Field" and doesn't have a care in the world, unfortunately he's accidentally stomping all over the miniature village of the Micrits! The tiny people want to defeat the "giant orange monster" but such a quest would require a brave hero. Luckily, the Micrits have such a hero: Prince Starling! Now, let us the tell you the epic tale of Prince Starling as he journeys to find the fountain of growth and defeat the wicked Lion-O, who has no idea any of this is going on!
The Thunderkittens plug a new video game cartridge into Snarf only to learn that it didn't load a game, it loaded a whole new personality into their pal! Meet Schnorp, a kind Swedish man who loves the beauty of nature and collecting berries! Schnorp is loads of fun, but we're gonna want Snarf back, right?
The ThunderCats finally sit the Berbils down and tell them they really shouldn't be building things for the Mutants anymore, it's time for the Berbils to stand up for themselves. The Berbils take this advice way too far and build a giant, building-sized, Berbil named Berbcules. Berb-cules takes back everything the Berbils ever built for the Mutants and everything they ever built for the ThunderCats! Now Panthro has to figure out a way to a defeat the most powerful invention the best little builders have ever built!
Mumm-Ra plans to disguise himself as a Thunderian and infiltrate Cats' Lair, but the Ancient Spirits of Evil are mad at him and won't give him any magic today. No matter, Mumm-Ra knows what a ThunderCat looks like so he slaps on some awful, unconvincing, cat make up and heads to Cats' Lair to introduce himself!
Santa Claus is on the run from Mandora! Can the Thundercats help him get off Third Earth without getting caught? And can Santa Claus teach them a little something about this weird new holiday "Christmas"?
