Ready. Set. Go!

[crowd cheering]

We love you, Cheetara.

[whoops] Go, Cheetara!

-What is this? What are we watching? -The race.

What race? It's one person running in circles.

After this race, Cheetara will be declared mayor of our village.

Bolkin law is determined by speed,

because we are so slow.

She'll be your mayor?

[announcer] And the winner is Mayor Cheetara.

Of course she won. She was the only one on the track.

Can I have your autograph?

You got it. Anything for my fans.

Excuse me! Cheetara, I was wondering,

how can I be as fast as you?

Whoa! You're rocking that t-shirt, girl.

-What's your name? -JanJan.

Well, I'll tell you a secret, JanJan.

If you work really, really hard and train every single day

for a really long time...

It won't matter. You will never be as fast as me.

I am the best at being fast.

-Aw... -But that's okay.

You don't have to be the fastest to be like me.

You just have to be the best at something.

But what can I be the best at?

Hmm... You could be the best Cheetara fan ever.

Oh, yeah! This is my entire identity now!

-Yeah, it is. -Whoa, Cheetara.

Your words really inspired me.

What thing can I be best at?

Uh, being Lord of the ThunderCats?

Oh, yeah, I am great at that.

Please. Mayor Cheetara must now run victory laps.

Or how about you run for re-election?

It's Monkian. ThunderCats, get him!

I don't think he wants to fight.

I think this slowpoke is challenging me to a race.

That's right. I am so much faster than Cheetara.

I should be Bolkin Mayor.

That's a challenge, folks.

The race for mayor is on.

Here, hold this.

[all] Yay! Cheetara!

I don't know what you think you're accomplishing here, Monkian,

but I'll be happy to trounce you in a--

[Monkian] Eat my dust! [laughs]

Wow. He's fast.

Finally, some competition.

Coming through. Not bad, but you'll never-- [gasps]

Oh, no, you don't.

Wow. Races are more exciting with two people.

When did Monkian get so fast?

Keep it up. But you'll never get me.

That's it. No more holding back.

Time for sonic speed.

Oh! [laughs]

[yells]

[laughs]

[all] Ah!

But I am supposed to be the fastest.

Oh, yeah!

Looks like this town's got a new mayor. [kisses]

Not if we can help it. ThunderCats HO!

[all] Ow.

Leave Monkian alone.

He's a bad guy.

How dare you speak ill of our beloved Monkian.

That's more like it.

Now, for my first official act

as mayor of the Bolkin village,

I hereby decree

no stinking ThunderCats allowed.

[all jeering]

I am supposed to be the fastest.

[Monkian laughing]

Ah, man, this is awful.

Monkian is a terrible mayor.

Move those rocks!

Move those bears.

Move those bricks.

Move those me.

Yeah, but the Bolkin's picked him.

We can't just go around forcing our will on people

'cause we think we know what's best for them.

Sure, but can't we?

I'll tell you what we can do. "Push it."

[music playing]

If Cheetara wants to win the big rematch with Monkian

she's got to push it to the extreme.

♪ She's got to push it to the max ♪

-♪ Push it -♪ Oh, yeah!

♪ Push it, push it

She's got to push it to the--

Thanks, but no thanks on the training montage, guys,

I don't run anymore.

Wait. What about all the stuff you told to the Bolkins?

"It doesn't matter if you're the fastest..." Remember?

I also said it matters that you're best at something.

If I can't be the best at being fast,

I have to be the best at something else.

-Here we go. -[beeps]

Business!

-Are you a business-minded young person? -[man] Business.

Then come join the exciting world of business.

[man] Business.

Hmm, business. I could be good at business.

In fact, I will be good at business.

Okay, it's decided.

I am leaving to begin my new life

as the best business person ever. Catch you later.

That's my computer.

So anyways, what made you wanna come to work at Business Corp?

Because, sir, I am a business person now.

And this is a business.

Cool. So you'll start down here in the mail room.

If you do a good job, you'll get a promotion.

[snoring]

[woman] Welcome to the Thunderian Business Academy on...

[tape fast forwarding]

Congratulations, today, you truly are a business person.

I know how to business now.

You! Start moving everything

into free-standing form modules.

You, start separating packages

based on size, weight and date.

You, get me a latte.

Now!

On it.

-Wow, do you just want my job? -Yes.

Oh, man, who would've ever guessed,

me, Cheetara, working 9:00 to 5:00.

Actually, our typical workday's 10:00 to 6:00.

Oh!

♪ Working 10:00 to 6:00

♪ That's the hours That I'm working ♪

♪ Doing business things

♪ I'm the greatest business person ♪

♪ Making business graphs for my business presentations ♪

♪ Got a brand-new desk 'cause I'm business world's sensation ♪

I wonder how Cheetara is doing on her first day as a business person.

She left the Cats' lair, like, three-hours ago.

She probably hasn't even filled out an application yet.

All right, ThunderCats. We're nearing the Bolkin village.

[Panthro] Whoa!

Monkian really did a number on this place.

Come on, if we wanna get by the guard

we gotta play it cool.

[scatting]

Hey, hey, hey.

You guys ain't the ThunderCats, are you?

-Who are they? -Yes!

We are the ThunderCats. Third Earth's mightiest--

[all exclaim]

[all groaning]

Sorry if I'm proud of who we are.

We need to get in there.

We need to figure out how Monkian

got so fast all of a sudden.

Psst. ThunderCats. Over here!

Oh, no, little JanJan.

You've got Monkian-mania, too?

Nah-uh. I am still the number one Cheetara fan.

[all cheering]

I can sneak you in.

But you're gonna need disguises.

Ooh, disguises.

Ugh, disguises.

[Monkian] Ladies and gentle-jerks.

Put your dumb hands together,

for the Monkian Speedstunt Spectacular.

Agh, too much production value.

Quiet. We love Monkian.

We watch all his shows.

And not just because he chains us to the seats

and shoots lasers in our eyes so we never fall asleep.

[laughs]

Now, everyone, look how fast I am.

[kisses and whoops]

You guys looking? Hey, look at me.

Look, I am going through fire hoops.

Come on, these shows don't last long. Let's get to his trailer.

[whispering] Great. Here we go.

[all exclaiming in disgust]

[WilyKit] How did he do that to the ceiling?

Check it out. A safe.

Guys, I got to be honest.

This is starting to feel a little invasive.

Is it really ethical to undermine the Bolkin's choice of leader?

-Even if we don't-- -Hey, Panthro,

it's cool if you are not strong enough to bust the safe.

You shut your dirty face, Tygra.

I am the strongest ever!

[gasps] Speed potion.

-Monkian is a cheater. -[door opens]

I think I am losing a little steam.

Better take another swig of--

Hey! What are you ThunderCats doing here? Now, give me that potion.

[laughs] I got it.

No, I got it.

-No, you don't. -Get off me.

Pretty slow. You could probably use another sip.

That's what I am trying to do.

Oh, come on, get it. What's the matter?

[laughs] Yeah!

[grunts]

[laughs] Bolo whip, never ceases to--

[grunts]

No, you don't.

So close.

Nice catch, me.

I've had enough of this.

Hmm. I should probably move.

-Mine. [grunts] -I'll take this.

-I'll get you. -Oh, yeah?

Somebody catch it.

Here comes WilyKat to save the day.

[screams]

Now this is a show.

-Thanks. -That's what being a ThunderCat is--

Give it here.

[coughs] Hey, where'd she go?

Whoa, slick move, WilyKat. Oh, whoops, my bad.

Got you. Now, hand it over.

-Hand what over? -Sorry.

Hmm. Aah...

Almost got it.

Oh, no, you don't.

[grunts]

-Mine. My face! -Coming through.

Come hither.

-Got it. Hold on, WilyKat. -[grunts]

Oh, man. I'm good.

This is fun and easy.

Wait. What do I do?

How about you give that to me?

Oops. Put her down, Monkian.

Why would I do that?

She got my potion back for me.

She must be my number one fan.

No way. Cheetara forever!

Cheetara? Sorry, squirt. She's old news.

[rumbling]

[engine revving]

Huh!

Attention. The Monkian Speedstunt Spectacular

is now the exclusive property of Cheetara Corp.

And we're shutting it down to build a parking lot.

Cheetara, what are you talking about?

What, no! That can't be right.

When did I even sign this?

Hello, I am a business man.

Will you sign this contract legally declaring you super-cool?

Yeah, of course.

Ha! I beat you at business.

Because I'm the best at business.

I knew you'd come back, Cheetara.

I couldn't forget about my biggest fan.

That's bad business.

You even have a copyright on my name?

I can't call myself Monkian anymore?

That's right, Stinko, which is now your legal name.

Hey, everyone. Cheetara saved us.

And guess what, it turns out Stinko

was cheating with magic.

Cheetara was always the fastest.

Let's make her mayor again.

And as my first act as Mayor...

No cheaters allowed.

[all] Yay! Cheetara.

[indistinct chatter]

Looks like you can say goodbye to business now.

Nope, I am gonna be the fastest and keep my company.

I'm the best at two things now.

But I should get someone for me to fill in at the office.

JanJan, do you want to be the acting CEO of Cheetara Corp?

Yeah! This is my entire identity now.

Yeah, it is.
