Our world is in peril.
Gaia, the spirit of the Earth,
can no longer stand the terrible destruction
plaguing our planet.
She sends five magic rings to five special young people...
Kwame from Africa, with the power of Earth.
[ Sirens wailing ]
From North America... Wheeler, with the power of fire.
♪♪
From Eastern Europe... Linka, with the power of wind.
From Asia... Gi, with the power of water.
♪♪
And from South America... Ma-Ti, with the power of heart.
When the five powers combine,
they summon Earth's greatest champion...
Captain Planet!
All: Go, Planet!
Captain Planet: The power is yours!
Stayed tuned, Planeteers. I'll be right back.
Gi: And now back to "Captain Planet".
Greedly: There she is, boys... My own time machine.
Paid Blight plenty for it, too.
But it's gonna be our passport
to big bucks and unlimited garbage dumping.
[ Laughs, snorts ]
Sludge: Ha! Sounds too good to be true.
[ Beeping ]
How do you know this thing even works?
I don't. That's why you're going first.
[ Laughs ]
Aah!
[ Slurping ]
[ Snorting ]
Ow!
Well, I guess it works. Let's go, partners.
[ Bird screeches ]
♪♪
Gaia: Look at this. It's disgusting.
[ Speaks Russian ] Horrors.
That looks like the Grand Canyon.
That's impossible!
They cannot dump there. It is a national park.
And how could it fill up with trash so fast?
It's been happening for a long time, Kwame.
The river downstream is polluted for hundreds of miles.
The soil around it... Ruined forever.
Let me get this straight...
Somebody's been dumping garbage in the Grand Canyon for years,
and nobody noticed?
That's crazy!
But it's legal, Wheeler.
Somebody bought the Grand Canyon.
There's been a disturbance in the space-time continuum.
That's like somebody going back in time
and changing history, right, Gaia?
How did you know that, Wheeler?
I saw it in a movie.
I've pinpointed the location of the disturbance
where their time machine must be.
You have to go back and stop whoever's behind this.
So how far back in time do we go?
I can't be sure.
But indicators tell me sometime in the 1800s.
That's the old West! No sweat.
I got it nailed!
Good luck, Planeteers.
Yee-haw!
Head them up and move them out.
Bozhe moi!
Kwame: I do not see anyone.
Wow! Look at all that equipment.
That's got to be the time machine.
Ma-Ti: But how do we use it?
Let me take a look.
Seems to be a simple system, and it's got a program log.
Looks like someone went back to 1870.
Then we must go back and stop them
before they change history.
You're right. I'll set the time.
I am glad you understand it.
Look! That must be the time portal.
We must be careful.
Careful? That's for tenderfeet.
Whoopee-ky-yi-oh!
[ Gulps ]
Um...[ Chuckles nervously ]
Who would like to be next?
Come on, you guys.
Somebody needs our help.
[ Horses neigh ]
Down there.
Yee-haw!
[ Breathing heavily ]
My sheep! Leave them alone!
[ Laughter, gunshots ]
We told you to keep away from here, injun.
Now we're gonna teach you a lesson.
Aah!
Yee-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
Ugh! Aah!
Fire.
[ Horse whinnies ]
Wind!
Whoa!
My sheep!
[ Sheep bleating, gunshot ]
Heart!
[ Gunshots ]
Hyah! Get along. Get.
[ All scream ]
Whoa! Let's get out of here.
Get away, skin-walkers.
What? He thinks we are spirits.
Do not be afraid, my brother.
I am Ma-Ti of the Kayapo.
I am Keeyani of the Navaho Clear Water clan.
But if you are not skin-walkers,
why do you have such powers?
This will take some time to explain.
And so, my ring gives me the power of water.
You are truly blessed.
Ma-Ti, tell me of your ring.
Where I'm from, far South of here,
the forest grew thick from rains.
But outsiders came, bringing sickness,
and my people were in danger.
Our forest was being destroyed.
And it seemed as though we could do nothing.
Then Gaia found me and gave me this ring...
The power of heart.
It was the best moment of my life
because she showed me
I could save my people and the Earth.
I, too, know the feeling of helplessness, my friend.
My people are being driven away from our land
by the man who snorts.
Snorts? You mean like a pig?
Yes. He's called Hoggish.
Greedly! Greedly!
You know him?
We have faced him many times.
But don't you worry none, partner.
We're gonna hogtie that porker
if it's the last thing we ever do.
Man: Then the dangest happened...
These five strangers come out of nowhere...
[ Spits ] Five?
Uh-huh. Yeah.
And then a fire burned clean through my rope.
And just about then,
a blast of wind knocked me clean off my horse.
Planeteers! Oh, no.
What are you mumbling about?
Oh, nothing, I hope. I hope.
Go ahead. Grab the Indian and bring him back.
I'll get him, all right. [ Laughs ]
[ Muffled scream ]
Ow!
Hey! Hey, what's going on?
Uh-oh. Let's hightail it.
I will stop them. Earth!
Aah! What the?!
[ Both scream ]
Yep. Yep. Planet-brats. Better tell the boss.
Greedly: Planet-punks? Where are they now?
Well, uh, I-I don't know, boss.
[ Snorting ]
You don't know? You let them get away?
You numskull!
Great trail boss you signed on.
Why didn't you follow them, you blundering oaf?
Well, I was going to.
You were gonna?
What a lamebrain!
[ Snorts ] Hey, let's get this straight, Sludge.
He may be a lamebrain, but he's my lamebrain.
Th-th-thanks, boss. I was...
Listen, you lamebrain, you better get out there and...
find them! Aah!
Look! They just throw their trash out behind their houses.
Hey, check it out! This is good stuff!
Wheeler, this is no time for recycling.
Well, ma'am, I was just going to mosey on into town
and track me down a desperado.
Wheeler's right! We need clothes like the townspeople wear.
I'll take a quick look around and meet you guys back here.
[ Piano music playing ]
[ Door closes ]
[ Piano stops ]
[ Piano resumes ] What'll it be, stranger?
Uh, make it sarsaparilla!
You sure you can handle it?
[ Laughs ]
Drink's on the house today.
Right neighborly. What's the occasion?
Mr. Greedly's feeling generous for a change.
He's buying another piece of land.
Practically owns the whole canyon.
Only two holdouts left.
One's a crazy old prospector...
Got a real weakness for cards.
Greedly's fixin' to hornswoggle him into a poker game.
I guess the other holdout is...
Owner of the general store.
Name of Stovall. Stubborn as a mule.
Greedly: Bartender! Over here!
Me and my friend are celebrating.
Excuse me.
Be right there, Mr. Greedly.
Two suckers to go,
and the whole canyon's ours!
And tonight, we take care of that storekeeper.
Yeah! This little piggy goes to market.
[ Laughs ]
[ Coughs ]
[ Snorts ]
I'll be right with you, there.
Hold it right there.
You know your kind ain't allowed in here.
Hey! What do you mean?
Wheeler, this is not the time.
Do not forget why we are here.
We'll meet you on the hill north of town.
Now what do you want?
[ Door closes ] We want to save the Grand Canyon.
Wheeler: And then he told us to mind our own business
and kicked us out.
And the way he treated you guys,
man, I just wanted to...
He's just ignorant, Wheeler.
He's not alone.
Wheeler, we're here to stop Greedly.
We can't get caught up in... [ Explosion ]
[ All gasping ]
Linka: Look! The general store is on fire!
[ Coughing ]
[ Breathing heavily ]
We must help him!
Aah! Look out!
Let's get out of here!
Ma-Ti: Do not lose heart. The Planeteers will return.
Linka: And now, back to "Captain Planet".
[ All coughing ]
My store. My home.
[ Coughing continues ]
Wheeler: They can't get out!
Where are the townspeople?
Greedly must have paid them off.
Water!
[ Horse neighs ]
[ All coughing ]
[ All gasp ]
Come on! Let's get out of here before Greedly's men find us.
Ohh!
Ow! My head.
Be careful.
You are hurt.
Hurt?
My store!
We could not save it.
Now I remember.
You boys, you pulled me out of the fire.
Ma-Ti: You needed help.
After the way I treated you?
Well, thank you.
If there's ever anything I can do...
There is.
You can refuse to sell your canyon land to Greedly.
Ma'am, I don't rightly see that I have a choice anymore.
I got no place to live and nothing to live on.
But you can't sell!
Greedly's gonna fill the Grand Canyon with trash.
You're crazy. That's impossible.
Come with us.
Let us show you something that might change your mind.
I can't think what that might be, but I'll take a look.
I owe you that.
You guys go on.
I'm gonna stay here and keep my eye on Greedly.
Mr. Stovall, get ready for the trip of your life.
Let's go!
Greedly: I'll see your $200, and I'll raise you $1,000.
How do you dig that, prospector?
[ Laughs, snorts ]
I'm in.
Well, look at all them greenbacks.
Whoo-whee, bog boy!
Cards.
One.
Dealer takes three.
[ Piano music playing ]
Well, prospector, it's your bet.
What do you say to $2,000, Mr. Greedly?
Fine. [ Snorts ]
Uh, b-boss?
Not now, Rigger.
But, boss, it's impor...
Not now, needle nose!
Can't you see I'm playing cards?
Get out of here!
I'll see your $2,000...
[ Snorts ]
And I'll raise you $20,000 more.
[ All gasp ]
$20,000? I ain't got that kind of money.
Then I guess you'll just have to fold,
unless you'd like to put up your canyon claim.
Well, what will it be, prospector?
Call!
Now, let's see what you've got.
Read them and weep, grandpa.
Four queens.
[ Laughs ]
[ Snorts ]
Hogwash, Greedly. You cheated!
[ All gasp, murmuring ]
I know that voice.
I hate that voice.
Huh?
Ow!
Planet-pip-squeak!
Fire!
Ouch!
Greedly, you low-down, ornery cheat! I ought to...
Grab your deed and get out of here!
I'll cover you!
Not so fast, old-timer.
You asked for this. F...
His ring! Get his ring!
Didn't they tell you to check your fire power at the door?
Naughty, naughty.
Here, boss.
Keeyani: So much trash. Where did it come from?
Linka: Well, in our time, there are billions of people in the world.
Kwame: And in developed countries like this, people are wasteful.
Heck, same thing happened to us.
Ever since Greedly started throwing his money around,
people have been spending it like wildfire.
Throwing away stuff they would have kept before.
Ma-Ti: This is our future if Greedly buys up all the property.
My great-grandkids got to live with this?
No, sir. We got to stop that polecat!
Keeyani: With all these wonderful machines,
could you not find ways to stop making so much trash?
Keeyani, you think like a Planeteer.
Come on! Hurry! Hurry!
[ Grunting ]
[ Laughter ]
[ Snorts ]
Time for a showdown, planet-brat.
Wait a minute, partner.
We still don't have that storekeeper's deed.
You and Rigger stake out his place.
Uh, yeah, boss. Yeah.
He'll show up sooner or later.
Pick it up, hombre. I'm-a calling you out.
This time, it's just you and me.
[ Laughs, snorts ]
With you gone, the planet-twerps
will never summon that meddler Captain Planet again.
You got to love it.
Right here, hog-breath.
I don't see anyone.
Yep, yep, got them now.
Here it is, safe and sound.
Good. Now we can go find Wheeler.
Aah!
Give me the deed, or your friend
is gonna have a ventilation problem.
And no sudden moves with those rings, planet pilgrims.
No!
It's all right, Keeyani.
It ain't worth getting hurt over.
Now, let's go. All of you.
There's a shoot-out at the Gunfight Corral
I think you'll all want to see.
Wheeler! Nyet!
Well, looky here.
Planet-pests... just in time to see the brat's final show.
Wheeler, use your ring!
Wheeler: That low-down, dirty skunk took my ring.
He's a cheat and he's a liar,
but worse than that, he's a polluter.
Sweet talk ain't gonna save you, planet-punk.
Now draw!
Hang on a second!
I want to check out this leather.
He's very good.
I hope he does not shoot himself.
Can't. He ain't got no bullets.
Oops.
Oh, no! Wheeler!
You ain't got no bullets!
[ Gasps ] Greedly: Hey, what the?!
Rigger: Uh-oh.
Man: Looks like my hog futures just took a nose dive.
My ring.
[ Grunts ]
Ugh! My back.
Hold it right there.
Keep them covered, Bart.
Yo, Bart! Fire!
What? Yeow!
Ow!
Ma-Ti!
Come on, Greedly. I got the last deed.
They are getting away!
[ Horse neighs ]
If they close the time portal, we'll never get back.
We have to stop them!
You ain't going nowhere, boy.
But you are.
Aah!
Ma-Ti is out cold, Gaia.
And we need Captain Planet.
Yaa'eh t'eeh, Keeyani.
I am Gaia.
You would honor us by using Ma-Ti's ring
to summon Captain Planet.
I, uh, um...
It is I who am honored.
Then let our powers combine!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Say heart!
Heart!
By your powers combined, I am Captain Planet!
All: Go, Planet!
Uh, go, Planet!
Good to have you with us, Keeyani!
Uh, thank you.
Well, Partnerteers, looks like I got here
just in time for the big roundup.
Got to go catch me some bad guys.
[ Horse neighs ]
Whoa!
Oh! Where am I?
Rigger: Hurry, boss, hurry.
Sludge: We made it.
All we have to do is run through the portal
and close it, and the Planeteers will be history.
What's that?
It can't be.
Aah!
Run for it!
Aah!
Yee-ha-ha-haw!
I better get you varmints over to the hoosegow...
Or should I say hogs-gow.
Don't drop me, you butterfinger.
[ Shouting indistinctly ]
[ Hammer banging ]
How do you like it, Keeyani?
Keeyani: It looks very fine, Mr. Stovall.
Fine enough for you to work in?
You... you want me to work for you?
It would make me mighty proud.
Rigger: Oh, don't worry, boss.
Blight will get us back to the future any minute now, you see.
We still owe her six payments on the time machine.
This is all your fault, tortoise-brain!
[ Clears throat ] Do you mind?
Be my guest.
You harebrained snake-breath.
[ Sighs ]
Now, this is more like it.
Mother nature likes to have things back to normal.
Hey, Gaia, everybody, look what I found in the history book.
It's Keeyani!
It says he became an exalted medicine man
and pioneering environmentalist of the Navajo.
Check this out!
Captain Planet: The power is yours!
Planeteers: Go, planet!
Gaia: Fortunately, we don't use the Grand Canyon as a landfill.
But if we did, it would probably overflow in very little time.
We must all do our part and remember the three Rs.
Reduce the amount of trash you cause
by buying products that use less packaging.
Reuse things if they can be repaired.
And recycle things like aluminum cans,
glass bottles, newspapers.
So do your part.
The power is yours!
Wheeler: We'll be right back with more Planeteer action.
Planeteers: We're back! Go, Planet!
You can recycle just about everything.
Wheeler: Like plastic. It's practically indestructible
and stays around forever.
But scientists do have ways to recycle many kinds of plastic.
Still, recycling starts with you.
Technology can do many things,
but it cannot make our garbage problem disappear.
Only you can make less trash.
And remember the three Rs...
Reduce, reuse, and recycle.
The power is yours!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water! Heart!
All: Go, Planet!
By your powers combined, I am Captain Planet!
