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".
[ Indistinct talking ]
[ Bell dinging ]
Wheeler: Boy, I could get used to this vacation stuff.
No hassles, no problems... just fun.
[ Chuckles ] You are right about that, Wheeler.
Hey, where are the girls?
He's a definite 10 on anybody's Hunk-O-Meter.
Da! He's cute.
[ Bell dings ]
Uh, so, Linka, uh, you want me to win you a stuffed animal?
[ Chuckles ] You are welcome to try, Wheeler.
Somehow I don't think those target animals
are in any danger.
Watch this, babe.
Or should I say babe-bushka?
Oh, bozhe moi.
[ Gun cocks ]
[ Gun pops ]
[ Laughter ]
Must be defective.
[ Gun pops ] Huh?
[ Metal plunking ]
Wow! My goodness!
Maybe you should wait for that rifle, Wheeler.
He's incredible!
[ Gun pops ]
Whoa! Where did you learn to shoot like that?
You're incredible.
Your shooting, I mean.
[ Australian accent ] [ Laughs ] Thanks.
I get a lot of practice hunting big game.
Name's Trevor.
Hi. I'm Gi.
Linka: And I am leaving.
Linka!
I am sorry, but I do not like hunting.
It is one thing to shoot targets,
but it is quite different to kill animals for sport.
Hey! Hold on! Let me explain.
You're saying that hunting
can actually protect endangered species?
Right. See, lots of hunting concessions
act as buffers around national parks.
They protect the animals from illegal poaching.
Now, there are hunters who give hunting a bad name.
That's why real hunters are against them.
On a real hunt, you don't always bag something,
like my last hunt in Africa.
We stalked a herd of water buffalo.
See, you don't shoot just any animal.
We spent days searching for a trophy animal,
but at the last second, it caught out scent and got away.
Sometimes you win. Sometimes you lose.
What I enjoy is the challenge of the hunt.
That is it! I cannot stay silent!
I do not believe one should be challenged
by killing animals for sport.
It is disgusting!
Most hunters are responsible.
Responsible for the slaughter of helpless animals!
Linka, I said the challenge of the hunt, not the kill.
Besides, we cull herds that might otherwise starve to death.
If people would not upset the natural habitats
in the first place,
there would be no need to cull herds!
Why don't you and your mates come with me
to watch a hunt so you can see for yourselves?
I think that...
Nothing will change my mind about hunting!
That's what I thought.
Ahh! Are we still having fun?
Thanks, Wheeler. Thank you.
Huh?
I hope you do have a fun vacation, mates.
See ya.
Goodbye, Mr. Animal Killer.
Uh... lamb, I believe.
Uh... Kwame: Linka, do not forget
that nature works by checks and balances.
Regulated hunting can play a useful role in this system.
[ Speaks Russian ] Very well.
Some hunting may be necessary.
I will go along and see a hunt for myself before I judge.
Great! I'll tell Trevor.
Oh, no. If we go with him,
we will only see what he wants us to see.
We will find out where he is going and follow him.
This vacation's turning into a laugh riot.
[ Indistinct talking ]
Ah, the big game hunter is boarding a hovercraft.
[ Boat motor rumbles ]
Gi: I think our ride is here.
Hey, Kwame, what is that?
That is the best I could do at the last minute.
It is our boat.
That's not a boat.
That's a boat.
Does it come with a paddle?
This sail should help... maybe.
Trevor: So, mate, you're a hunter, are ya?
No. Never hunted. I'm a lawyer.
That's why I came on this hunt.
They guarantee that I'll get a trophy.
Can't beat that.
Right. And I've never even fired a gun.
You don't say.
Any of you hunted before?
Interesting.
You all expect to bag trophies... guaranteed?
[ Indistinct talking ]
Welcome to Hunter's Paradise.
Trophy guaranteed, or your money back.
You brought your own rifle?
Yeah, mate. Figured I'd buy my own gear.
You've hunted before?
Once or twice.
Gi: Careful. There could be wild animals.
This is a hunting concession.
We're on an island off the coast of Australia.
What are we going to run into? Kick-boxing kangaroos?
Watch out for hunters.
They are the most dangerous thing on this...
Aah!
Linka!
[ All gasp ]
Linka, are you all right?
[ Bear growls ] [ Gasps ]
[ Bear growls ]
Greedly: [ Snorts ]
Wonder if they caught that bear yet.
I'll be hogtied!
Planet-twerps! How do they always...
Rigger!
Yeah, boss, yeah. What's up?
Tell Otto to get our gear.
We're going hunting.
[ Laughs, snorts ]
But what are we gonna hunt, boss?
Huh?
Hey, boss. Those are...
Bait for bagging my ultimate trophy... Captain Planet.
[ Laughs, snorts ]
[ Bear growls ]
Watch out, Linka! I'll keep it back!
Wheeler, wait!
Heart!
The bear is tame. She was raised by people.
She escaped from someone who was hunting her.
[ Laughing ] Oh!
Step back, Linka. I will make a ramp.
Earth!
Wheeler: Good work, Kwame!
Why is there a tame bear on this island?
Something is very wrong here.
Ma-Ti! Stop her!
I cannot. She's going to her... babies?
She has cubs?
Come on. We must follow her!
Greedly: Got the trap set, Otto?
All set, Mr. Greedly.
But what makes you think they'll come through here?
That mamma bear's gonna head straight for her cubs.
And those soft-headed enviro-varmints
will be right behind her.
[ Laughs ]
When they get here, you bag the bear,
and we bag the brats.
[ Laughs, snorts ]
[ Bear calls ]
And if we get lucky, we'll get the big trophy...
Captain Planet!
[ Laughs, snorts ]
[ Gunshot ]
[ Bear growls ]
[ Gunshot ] Oh, no!
We are too late!
Wait! Look!
Kwame: It is a tranquilizer dart.
[ Bear groans ]
Well, whoever did this will not get away!
Greedly: Don't have to, eco-urchins!
[ Laughs ]
Hoggish Greedly! But where is he?
Let's get out of here!
You can run, but you can't save your hides!
[ Laughs, snorts ]
Hurry! We must go back!
Give me the controller, Rigger.
Here, boss, here.
Now, to pick off the eco-interlopers.
[ Snorting ]
One little piggy...
Aah! Wheeler!
Two little, three little, four little piggies.
And this little piggy went...
[ Squealing ]
All the way down. Aah!
It worked, boss, it worked!
The show's just starting, Rigger.
Just need to hear one more thing.
Let our powers combine.
Ahh... music to my ears.
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
All: Go, Planet!
Well, this is the pits.
It's almost too easy.
Captain Planet, watch out!
Oh!
In the back, Greedly? That's not very sporting.
Looks like you could use some practice, Greedly.
Come on. Take your best shot.
[ Muffled screams ]
Well, if this is the best you can do,
I think you should take up a new game, Greedly.
I love it.
He doesn't know I'm playing with him.
Oh, Planthead!
This ought to make you see double!
Ugh!
Linka: Oh, no! Captain!
At last, my trophy of a lifetime!
Ohh... toxic...
I can't...
Shoot me, Rigger.
The camera, you mush-head!
Oh. Right, boss, right.
Smile, boss, smile.
[ Laughs, snorts ]
[ Camera shutter clicks ]
Ma-Ti: Do not lose heart. The Planeteers will return.
Linka: And now, back to "Captain Planet".
[ Camera shutter clicks ]
Good work, Otto.
[ Snorts ]
[ Laughs ] [ Camera shutter clicking ]
Rigger, tell the guys to take care of my prize trophy.
[ Laughs, snorts ]
Sure, boss, sure. Yep, yep!
Otto: Keep moving.
Lock them up, and be quick about it.
We got a hunting expedition coming.
Rigger: Big sucker, ain't he?
Why don't you get him in the run?
Hunters are in position.
Hey, ain't that dangerous?
No. He's hamstrung.
He's what?
Hamstrung.
We slice them across the back of the leg.
It slows them down.
[ Rhino grunts ]
Looks like he needs a little motivation.
[ Rhino grunts ]
Watch out! We spotted a rhino!
Don't make any sudden moves!
[ Gunshots ]
[ Bear cub crying ]
Linka: Oh, you poor thing.
I cannot stand it.
Ohh!
Is this Trevor's idea of a challenging hunt?
If I ever get my hands on Greedly...
Greedly: Not a chance, planet-punk!
This time, you're playing my game.
[ Laughs, snorts ]
I call it "hunt for the eco-geeks."
No bag limit.
And, my coup de grease... Behold your hero!
[ Laughs ]
[ Planeteers gasp ]
[ Groans ]
Ma-Ti: Captain Planet!
Boss, next bunch of hunters coming.
Well, don't just stand there!
Get the Leopard out!
Sure, boss, sure.
A planet-pest hunt.
This will be the most dangerous game
you've ever played.
♪♪
Elsa, cut it out!
Look sharp, everybody.
Our beaters spotted a vicious black leopard heading this way.
Careful with that thing.
All right, your perches are ready.
Let's get into the trees.
Perches? Yeah.
We don't want nobody hurt.
Uh, right.
Problem? I'm not sure,
but I think he might be a real hunter.
Keep an eye on him.
Get him out of here right after the hunt.
What is this?
Get ready!
That Leopard may show up any second!
I said, the vicious leopard
may come rampaging through here any second now!
That's our cue!
Go! Go on! Scat!
[ Grunts ]
Linka: Look at the monitor. I told you he was a killer!
I cannot believe it. He seemed so sincere.
If we could just get our powers back...
Captain Planet, wake up!
She ain't moving.
I'll move her.
[ Leopard growls ]
There it is!
[ Gunshots ]
This isn't a hunt. It's a massacre.
Greedly: [ Laughing ]
All right! Line up!
[ Camera shutters clicks ] Next!
[ Camera shutter clicking ]
[ Vehicle approaches ]
That hunt really gave me an appetite.
Come on, everybody. Lunchtime!
No claws.
No fangs.
This is a canned hunt.
Too bad you read the label, sport.
What's he mean, "canned hunt"?
You know... We buy old animals from zoos
or get young animals and raise them so they're tame,
they're gentle.
Then we let people shoot them like sardines in a can.
That's how they got the name.
You're too nosy for your own good. Yep, yep!
[ All grunt ]
Hey.
Greedly: [ Belches ]
Can't wait to see Blight and Plunder's faces
when I tell them I finished off those eco-eggheads.
Trouble, boss! Trouble!
What now?
That hunter, the real one, he's gone.
What?
You nincompoops!
Tell the men they better find him!
Now!
Right, Mr. Greedly.
As for you, I ought to put you in a cage!
Sorry, boss, sorry.
We've got another hunt.
Get the mother bear ready hear me?
And don't let her get away this time!
But, boss, she keeps trying to go back to her cubs.
That's why we're gonna use the cubs for bait!
Now, listen...
This time, old mamma bear
is gonna run right where we want her to.
Right to the babies. Then pow!
Yep, yep! Pow!
[ Laughs ]
What monsters!
This is a nightmare!
♪♪
Careful, now.
Our beaters have spotted a ferocious bear.
Get ready.
Mamma will be along soon.
[ Laughs ]
[ Gasps ] Trevor!
You lot? What are you doing here?
Well, the great leopard killer himself.
Not me. I unloaded my gun.
I told you, this isn't my kind of hunting.
Please, get us out of here.
Right, mate.
[ Grunts ]
You did not know about Greedly's hunts?
Not much chance I'd be helping you out if I did, eh?
[ Grunts ]
Captain Planet!
[ Grunts ]
[ Gasps ] We will take care of him.
Hurry! We must save the mother bear!
Well, go on, go get your babies.
[ Cubs crying ] That's it. Make lots of noise for mamma.
You bully!
The mother bear!
Pbht!
Ahh, thanks, Planeteers.
That was rough, but I'm still strong enough
to take on that pig Greedly.
Get ready.
Shoot when you see the whites of her eyes.
No! Do not shoot!
She will be killed!
What?
Hey, what's going on?
Don't shoot! She's a tame bear!
What are those kids doing here?
This wasn't part of our agreement.
They're just stupid eco-geeks. Shoot the bear!
Your sorry safari's over, Greedly!
Huh? But you're...
You've run your last can hunt and killed your last animal.
Not quite, Captain Kill-Joy.
I'm taking you out.
Think again, mate. [ Gunshot ]
Aah!
Gotcha!
Come on, Rigger!
How would you like to go on a wild boar hunt, friend?
A pleasure, mate.
We lost them, boss! We lost them!
Shh... come. Follow me.
[ Muffled scream ]
I thought I told you...
Rigger. Rigger!
[ Muffled screams ]
We're getting close!
[ Whimpering ]
Must be around here somewhere.
Ugh! Aah!
Aah!
Trevor: Uh-oh. I think I lost him.
Captain Planet: I wonder where he could be.
Aah!
[ Snorts ]
S-S-Stop! I can't... t-take anymore!
Now you know how those poor animals feel, Greedly.
Let's go!
Lucky for you this isn't a canned hunt, eh, mate?
Just the way I like you, Greedly... in captivity.
I think they look pretty happy, don't you, mates?
Very happy. And we couldn't have done it without you.
Nyet. We could not.
I am sorry I misjudged you, Trevor.
I guess it is not hunting that is bad,
just some of the hunters.
I still do not like it, but I will never forget you.
Me, neither.
Swell. Now let's get back to the ship and get this party rolling.
Good idea, mate.
Ladies?
Hey! What about me?
This is definitely not what I had in mind, mates.
Planeteers: Go, Planet!
We're all responsible for the welfare of animals.
Each year, many animals come to your local animal shelter.
But if homes cannot be found for them, they're put to sleep.
You can help.
If you want a pet, adopt from your local animal shelter.
And if you own a pet, have it spayed or neutered
so cute little guys like this won't end up at the shelter.
Take care of your pets,
and they'll give you lots of love in return.
The power is yours!
Wheeler: We'll be right back with more Planeteer action.
Planeteers: We're back! Go, Planet!
I'm Captain Planet.
All: And we're Planeteers.
You can be a Planeteer, too,
by helping to make our world a better place to live
for everyone who shares our planet.
[ Elephant trumpeting ]
Ma-Ti: Including our wild animal friends like sneezer,
who are killed to make jewelry, souvenirs, and fur coats.
So tell your friends not to buy things
that require an animal to give its life.
We mustn't plunder our planet.
The power is yours!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water! Heart!
