"Defenders of the Earth" is an animated science fiction series that unites some of King Features Syndicate’s most iconic comic strip heroes into one superhero team to battle evil forces threatening Earth. The series is set in the year 2015 (a distant future at the time of release) and blends high-tech action with classic pulp comic lore.

01:07Maybe we lost it!
01:09No way, Jedha!
01:10That creeps down there somewhere!
01:13I get the feeling of being watched!
01:17Look out!
01:18Oh, no!
01:19It's chow time, folks, and we're the main course!
01:20Oh, no!
01:21It's chow time, folks, and we're the main course!
01:25I really scared you guys, didn't I?
01:26Yeah, you did a good job, Kashin! Come on down!
01:43I really scared you guys, didn't I?
01:48Yeah, you did a good job, Gashin. Come on down.
01:52Gashin's got more of an imagination than I thought.
01:54That's for sure.
01:56Rick, this new invention of yours, it's great. How does it work?
02:01It's a thought transference cap, Jedha.
02:03As long as it's hooked to the battle simulation computer, you can create anything you can imagine.
02:09Defender alert. Alert.
02:11Why didn't you create that?
02:13Come on, guys.
02:21A deadly alien warhead known as a doomsday device capable of destroying every living thing on Earth.
02:28But leaving the planet intact is on a collision course with Earth.
02:33Is it one of Ming's weapons?
02:34Negative. It's a warhead left over from a war fought in another galaxy seven billion years ago.
02:40Oh, that's colder than the Earth itself.
02:43Surely it no longer works.
02:45Unfortunately, the vacuum of space has preserved the weapon perfectly.
02:49When and where will it land?
02:51Zero degrees latitude.
02:53Sixty degrees longitude.
02:55Deep within the Amazon rainforest.
02:57Then let's go!
02:58Wait, son. I want all of you to stay here and find a way to disarm that baby once we've recovered it.
03:04I only hope Ming hasn't discovered it yet.
03:06This alien doomsday warhead fits in perfectly with my plans.
03:20Garax, bring the weapon to my new asteroid base.
03:23At once, my Emperor.
03:25Sire.
03:26Sensors indicate a defender ship en route to the doomsday weapon landing site in the Amazon rainforest.
03:32So, my enemies wish to make a game of it, do they?
03:37Prepare to launch the fleet immediately.
03:44With my new battle simulation override,
03:47I will be able to take complete control of the defender simulation room and their mines.
03:53And with the doomsday weapon, the Earth will finally be mine.
03:59When Dad and the others get back with the warhead, disarming it will be a cinch.
04:05Think you're ready for another one of my mind warrior challenges?
04:09Let's go, Fire!
04:11If you can get through this one, fighting Ming will be easy.
04:14Okay, guys. This is gonna be real scary. You ready?
04:24Let her rip, Kashin.
04:25What's so scary about this?
04:33Yeah, it looks like one of those cartoons Kashin's always watching.
04:39What's that?
04:42Oh, no, look!
04:48Dinosaurs!
04:49How are we gonna fight dinosaurs?
04:51Dinosaurs!
04:52I've got three good ideas.
04:57Run, run, and run!
05:09Dinosaurs!
05:14I think it's time for a little karate lesson.
05:16Fire!
05:16Fire!
05:17Fire!
05:17Fire!
05:17Fire!
05:17Fire!
05:18Fire!
05:18Fire!
05:18Fire!
05:18Fire!
05:19Fire!
05:19Fire!
05:19Fire!
05:19Fire!
05:19Fire!
05:19Fire!
05:20Fire!
05:20Fire!
05:21Fire!
05:21Fire!
05:22Fire!
05:22Fire!
05:24Fire!
05:25Fire!
05:32Fire!
05:36Way to go, L.J.
06:05Oh, yeah?
06:07You guys just wait till you see what I think up for you next.
06:14The Doomsday Warhead should be just ahead.
06:17I only hope we've reached it before Ming.
06:20Look, there, in the clearing.
06:22Dynak was right again.
06:24It appears we've beaten Ming's forces to the warhead.
06:28It may have spoken too soon.
06:30That's a Ming scout ship dead ahead.
06:33We've got to stop it before it gets back to the main fleet.
06:40He's trying to lose us in this storm.
06:42I'd say we've beaten Spankton.
06:46Rains in force.
06:51There is no escape from the molecular disruptor beam.
06:55Fire!
06:56I can't hold her.
07:02Prepare to bail out.
07:04The emergency doors are jammed.
07:06The emergency doors are jammed.
07:20Leave that door to me.
07:22That warhead might as well be an ice station Earth.
07:41We'll never be able to cut through this jungle.
07:43You don't fight the jungle, Flash.
07:45You become one with it.
08:00I believe this is what we're after.
08:03Good work, Phantom.
08:04But how do we get back to Monitor without a ship?
08:06You don't.
08:07Garax!
08:08I hereby claim this weapon in the name of Ming the Merciless.
08:14That's what you think.
08:15The defenders are on ice.
08:26Load the Doomsday Warhead.
08:38I grow impatient, Doctor.
08:41When can I take control of the battle simulations within Monitor?
08:44Soon, my lord.
08:46Soon.
08:49Once I have control of the battle simulation room,
08:52I can destroy the minds of my enemies like that.
09:02You've got some imagination, Kishin.
09:05Boy, I wish we could do this all day.
09:08I'm just glad Ming doesn't have your imagination, Kishin.
09:15As soon as you're rested up,
09:17I've got a great new simulation in mind.
09:19Something to do with ice.
09:21And while we're in here,
09:26Ming's robots are getting away with the Doomsday Warhead.
09:29No little wall of ice is going to hold me.
09:32Save your strength, old friend.
09:42This is Mongol ice.
09:44How can we free ourselves?
09:46Observe.
09:47You must leave immediately.
10:07Excuse me, old man.
10:08We'd like to borrow your spaceship,
10:12if you don't mind.
10:14Defenders, attack!
10:16With pleasure.
10:29Leave them to me.
10:30By jungle law,
10:32the ghost box calls forth the power of ten tigers.
10:44And now to turn up the heat a bit.
10:46Come on!
11:00Let's hit this bird in the air
11:01before these ice robots change their minds.
11:03What?
11:17You not only allowed the Defenders to steal my ship,
11:21but you handed them the Doomsday Warhead as well.
11:23Yes, sire.
11:24I mean, no, sire.
11:26I mean, fool.
11:29Now there is only one way for me to retrieve the Warhead.
11:32The next time those Defenders
11:34use their battle simulation room,
11:36it will be the end of them.
11:42Come on, guys.
11:44This one's going to be the best simulation of all.
11:47Okay, okay, Gashin.
11:49But this is the last one for today.
11:51Yeah, we're bushed.
11:52Wow!
11:54Suffy, this is going to be awesome.
11:58That's the attack, sire.
12:00Alert.
12:01Alert.
12:02Defender, alert.
12:04Alert.
12:05Alert.
12:08A main warship is approaching Monitor.
12:11Alert.
12:13Battle stations!
12:21Diamond, open the visual channel.
12:23The main ship will be within range
12:26in exactly one minute.
12:27Don't worry.
12:29We'll blow them back to Mongo.
12:33Blast these Mongo radios.
12:36There's no way to contact Monitor.
12:38I'm afraid they'll contact us with a laser blast.
12:42There's no way that creeper will escape us now.
12:44On the count of three, fire.
12:46One, two, three, fire!
12:52Hold on tight.
13:03This is going to be close.
13:09We missed!
13:10But this time, I'll blast it for sure.
13:15No, LJ.
13:16Wait!
13:17I'd know that style of flying anywhere.
13:19That's my father!
13:21Dynac, open the landing bay.
13:24Dynac, open the landing bay.
13:29Dynac!
13:29If this one bomb could destroy the whole world,
13:35how come it didn't blow up
13:36when it landed on Earth?
13:38It requires a special detonation code
13:40before it will explode.
13:41Just like it needs a special computer program
13:43to disarm it.
13:44It'll take Dynac 24 hours
13:46to work out the defusing code.
13:47I know what we can do!
13:49Please, Kishin.
13:50We've had enough!
13:52Enough of what, Jedha?
13:53My special battle simulations.
13:55They're really scary.
13:57Maybe too scary.
13:59They're really scary, huh?
14:02Let's see how good of an imagination
14:03you've really got, Kishin.
14:05All right!
14:15Is the battle simulation override device ready, Akhtan?
14:19Yes, sire.
14:20Everything is in order.
14:21When the defenders activate their simulation room,
14:24then you will have complete control
14:26of their minds.
14:29Now, Akhtan, turn it on, now.
14:39It is working, Akhtan!
14:42It is working!
14:45In a matter of moments,
14:47the defenders will be destroyed.
14:50Well, so far, it's a piece of cake.
14:55Okay, Kishin.
14:56Pull out all the stops.
14:57Just watch what I've imagined for you now.
15:00I guess we're supposed to go in.
15:18We must stop telling that boy ghost stories.
15:26Uh, anybody home?
15:30Don't all answer at once.
15:34Whoa!
15:35This is better than any horror movie I ever saw.
15:54If you can hear me, Kishin,
16:00this is really some heavy action you're dishing out.
16:03I agree, Defender.
16:05What diabolically delightful things that lad can imagine.
16:10But they are nothing compared with what I have in store for you.
16:13More power, Akhtan!
16:14It is time I gave Kishin a mess.
16:18Kishin a mess.
16:24Kishin a mess.
16:25Kishin a mess.
16:27Kishin a mess.
16:31Come on, Kashin. Take it easy.
16:48The simulation computer. It won't obey me. It's gone crazy.
16:52You've got to warn them. Kashin, wait!
16:55What? Everything seems so real.
17:15Help! Help!
17:18That sounds like Kashin. We've got to get rid of these pests.
17:22Preachers of darkness hate the light.
17:25Freeze!
17:40Go away! Leave me alone!
17:43This is scary. Why don't they go away?
17:56Fear not, my boy. The best way to fight illusion is with illusion.
18:01Kashin's right. Why haven't those illusions vanished?
18:04I don't know. The simulation computer. It won't obey me.
18:11We'll have to fight our way out.
18:13Rick, we've got to do something.
18:15The machine's got a mind of its own. It won't shut off. We'll have to wreck it.
18:19What are we waiting for?
18:29Hot dog. Increase the simulation override.
18:33Full power.
18:34Full power.
18:35But sire, it cannot take more power.
18:38Do as I command.
18:41Very well, sire.
18:43Yes. Yes.
18:47Yes. Yes.
18:54I see a line up ahead. Hurry!
18:56I see a line up ahead. Hurry!
19:00We did it!
19:17We did it!
19:22It looks like we'll be without a battle simulation room for a while, guys.
19:28That's okay.
19:31I think my imagination needs a rest anyway.
19:43I fail to understand your good humor. The defenders have escaped your trap, sire.
19:49Opton, you have sensors, but you do not see.
19:53Once the defenders have rebuilt their battle simulation room, I will capture Kishin.
19:58With the imagination of that little menace coupled to my override device, I will create real warriors to steal the warhead back and destroy the defenders.
20:10Come, Octa. We have work to do.
20:13And a planet to conquer.
20:15The planet to conquer.
20:17Hmm, hmm.
20:18Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
