For a contemporary (or at least in the 1990's) audience, Thunderbirds underwent a repackage, redub, and rebroadcast as part of FOX Kids Saturday morning line-up. Along with being the first episode of the original series, "Trapped in the Sky" was naturally the first to undergo this treatment. The story was essentially boiled down to a 19 minute condensed version of the original (20 including credits), with very little changes made to both plot and dialogue. The episode first (and last) aired on July 2nd 1994 at 9:30am.
