WB has sent along the preview images and clips for Thundercats Episode 17: Native Son. The episode airs Saturday, April 14 at 9:30 AM ET/PT on Cartoon Network.
While traveling through snowy mountains in search of safe passage, Tygra and Lion-O come upon a lost tiger village and in it they find Tygra’s real father. Tygra learns why his father sent him away as a baby — to save his life. But all is not as it seems in this village as the brothers learn these tigers are cursed and Tygra may be the answer to saving them — but at the cost of his own life.
