Official Synopsis

Disguising himself as an exquisite and helpless DIAMONDFLY, MUMM-RA entices LION-0 into the monstrous domain of SPIDERA, Queen of Eight Legs. SPIDERA entraps LION-0 and SNARF in her web. In the process, LION-0 loses the Sword. The other THUNDERCATS try to free them and are immobilized one by one though not before TYGRA seizes the fallen Sword and throws it to SMARF. With great effort, SNARF frees his powerful tail from his cocoon prison, catches the Sword and flicks it to LION-0. LION-0 bursts his bonds and inspires the THUNDERCATS to free themselves. They concentrate all their powers on SPIDERA and destroy her.

Moral

The ThunderCats enter into a Kingdom of Webs, where the evil of deception and the entanglements, which follow, are represented. Mumm-Ra uses deception to try and entrap Lion-0 in the domain of frenzy, hate and rage. But an honest awareness of what is happening allows Snarf, Lion-O and the other ThunderCats to break the bonds of deception.

Sometimes we succumb to the lure of deceit as an easy way out of difficult situations. We may deny we have uncomfortable feelings of envy or anger towards someone and try to disguise our feelings. Or we may deny we have done something wrong and misrepresent what happened to friends, parents, or authorities. When something like this happens and we chose to be deceitful and dishonest we find, like the Kingdom of Webs, our entanglements growing larger and larger, since deception has a way of expanding. To maintain our story, we must lie more and more to others and ourselves and gradually we feel trapped and guilty. The only real solution to situations like this is to be honest and own up to feelings or our actions both to others and ourselves. Then we can deal with the reality of the situation and resolve it rather than covering up. And in doing so, we are relieved of the burden of lying and the entanglements and guilt it creates. Digging within ourselves for honesty and perseverance, like Snarf did, can lead us back to a state of openness and harmony with others.
