Synopsis:
This fanedit restores the VHS version of Thundercats Exodus. Comprising the first four episodes of the original animated series, Thundercats Exodus features footage not contained on the DVD release. The retail DVD collects the episodes in their broadcast form, as a result of being edited for TV their runtime was shortened, particularly the first episode. This footage has now been restored. Several alternate music cues are used throughout, these have also been restored. Several scenes from the broadcast version were also removed, mainly from the third episode "Berbils". Also, the double take on the cliffhangers, created by removal of the commercials, are no longer present.
Intentions:
To restore the VHS version of Thundercats Exodus I grew up watching in the best quality available to me.
Change List:
Likewise, the “cut-list” is rather extensive, and is not easily described in terms of scenes/lines cut. (We’d be here into next week.) Perhaps the best way to get a feel for the “cut-list” is to view the “Fragments from the Faneditor’s Floor” section of the disc, a ½-hour of UNEDITED clips from the original film, provided for comparison. The “Fragments” section is liberally peppered with wiseass captions that are pretty funny. (But then again, of course I think so – I wrote them.)
Additional Notes:
Needless to say, a fanedit that takes THREE YEARS to complete is going to have a lot of “Edit Details” – it seems less-than-practical to imagine a comprehensive list here. Suffice it to say that this is, as my friend and key advisor on this project, Imp, put it: “a head-to-toe re-edit”. For the record, the fanedit includes a running “text commentary” – on the second subtitle track – that goes into much of the “Edit Details”
