Captain Planet: Our world is in peril.
Gaia, the spirit of 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;
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.
The power is yours!

[ Whimpering ]
So you like my new heat-seeking laser rifles, eh, boys?
With these babies, you almost can't miss.
Let us see what these samples can tell us.
Kwame: What have you found?
[ Speaks Russian ] There are traces of acid rain
all the way up here.
Bummer. Now can we split this Popsicle stand?
I'm freezin'. Hey, watch it!
Eco-alert.
Get moving, Planeteers, while I explain.
Wheeler: Wherever we're goin', I hope it's warm.
Those wolves sure make great target practice.
Blast! It's those planet punks.
Oh, those stupid animal lovers are ruinin' our fun!
Oh, yeah?
Watch this.
Gi: We're hit!
Blight: Well, thanks for dropping by, kids.
[ Laughs, sighs ]
[ Screaming ]
I don't know how long this ledge will hold.
Then let's blow.
Precisely.
Wind!
Whoa!
Gotta watch what I say around her.
Nice work, Linka.
Da. Only, without the Eco-Copter,
we cannot stop Dr. Blight.
Oh, yes, we can. Let our powers combine!
Earth! Fire!
- Wind! - Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
Stay cool, Planeteers!
I'll be right back.
[ Animal whimpering ]
What was that?
It came from over there.
It's a wolf pup.
I'm afraid he lost his mother
to those horrible hunters.
Linka: He is too young to survive on his own.
We must take him with us.
What? Are you nuts? That's a wild animal.
He could chew your hand off!
More like lick it off.
Well, anyway, Gaia is gonna pitch a fit
when we show up with another homeless animal.
Do not worry, Wheeler. We will protect you.
Target practice is over, hot shots.
What the... It's that superzero,
Captain Planet.
Hit it!
So much for the friendly skies.
This is your Captain speakin'.
There seems to be a little ice forming
on the wings, uh, or blades.
Fasten your seatbelts.
We're experiencing mild turbulence.
All: Whoa!
Please remain seated until the aircraft
comes to a complete stop.
Hope you enjoyed the flight.
Be sure and check your weapons at the door.
Hey, those are mine!
Oh, don't worry, Doc.
You can have 'em back.
After all, you need them to shoot you back to town.
[ Wolf howling ]
Well, I've gotta ski-daddle.
But thank you for flying Air Planet.
You know, the Eco-Copter
has never flown so smoothly or economically.
Thanks for the lift, Captain Planet.
Hey, Planeteers, always happy
to help a carpool in distress.
The power is yours!
I love animals as much as the next planetary archetype.
But this is the third homeless
animal you've brought back this week.
And, frankly, it's weighing kind of heavy on me.
Ha. I told you so, Linka.
On the other hand, Wheeler,
if people gave a little more thought
to the creatures they share the planet with,
we wouldn't be in this predicament.
Mm-hmm. See, Wheeler? I was right.
It's not an issue of who's right.
What's important is these animals are healthy now.
And it's time to take them home.
Da, Gaia, you are right.
We will take them back.
[ Animals squawking ]
Forget tryin' to bag a few Zs around here.
Throw another cracker on the barbie.
Hello, mate!
How'd you like me to throw you on the barbie?
Wheeler! Hey, it was a joke.
I just don't see why everybody's
makin' such a big deal
over a few smelly animals.
[ Growling ]
Welcome home, Mr. Parrot.
This is terrible.
They are destroying the forest.
What do you mean?
Look out!
Get out of the way!
Earth!
Quick thinkin', Kwame.
We cannot possibly leave this bird in such danger.
Gi: Linka's right. Let's get out of here.
Man: Please, young ones.
Wait. I need your help.
Wheeler: Hey, look! A baby kangaroo.
No, it is a wallaby.
Wannabe what?
No, Wheeler, a wallaby.
What happened to him?
He was inured trying to escape the destruction here.
To the Aborigine, the wallaby is very special.
But there are only some 30 of this kind left in the wild.
And now he has lost his home.
Please, help me.
We will do our best.
Hey, hold on.
The object is to unload animals,
not collect more.
We are taking him.
Come on, Planeteers. Let's go!
Wait. Where is Kwame?
Right here.
I found a graceful sunray.
You're bringing a... a weed?
It is an endangered species, too.
And they were going to plow it under.
What's next?
Endangered rocks?
Wheeler: Hey, what's with Suchi?
[ Suchi squawking ]
I do not think he likes snakes.
Hey! Get this monkey off my back.
Come, Suchi. You do not want to monkey around
with this grump-ateer.
[ Sneezes ]
What's going on?
[ Sneezing ]
Oh, Wheeler.
It looks like you are allergic to wallabies.
[ Sneezes ]
Oh, that's just great.
♪♪
I can't believe we're finally gonna ditch
one of these critters.
[ Grunting ]
Oh, no! More smugglers!
Yo! Take it easy, man.
We're not smugglers.
We're returning this snake to the wild, not stealing it.
Oh, I am sorry. I have just saved my baby
pygmy hog from smugglers.
They're stealing endangered animals.
I have heard they sell them to collectors
for great sums of money.
Bohze moi! Everywhere we go!
Can you lead us to these smugglers?
I guess so.
Follow me.
There.
Man: Hey, we oughta clean up on this haul.
In a pig's eye!
You swine will have to do better than this if you wanna be paid.
Hoggish Greedly.
Look at this puny thing.
And the ivory on this tub's barely worth the trouble.
We must wait until they fall asleep.
Heart!
What are you doing?
Letting the animals know we are friends.
Shh! Quiet!
[ Sneezes ]
Hey, we may be friends.
But we're not adopting any more ani...
[ Laughs ]
Well, well, what did we bag this time?
Planet pukes.
Your hides should bring big bucks
on the eco-villain market.
What if we muddy up his plan a bit, Gi?
Water! Earth!
[ All shouting ]
Hey!
I'll cook. Then we book.
Fire!
Geronimo!
Get them, you piggin' brains.
Fire!
Ma-Ti: Hurry! We cannot leave these baby animals on their own.
Surprise.
[ Snorting ] I hate those planet twerps.
[ Giggles ] Oh, she is so cute.
Too bad Greedly gives pigs such a bad name.
We are grateful to you, Ashuk.
Then, please, take Chandra with you.
It is not safe for her here.
Why not? The more the merrier.
[ Animals calling ]
[ Sneezes ]
This is totally bogus.
Will somebody get this stupid wolf a chew stick?
Yo, did anybody here...
Yuck! Gross!
Gi, take over, would ya?
[ Laughs ] Being kissed by a real tiger
to much for you, Wheeler?
Very funny. [ Splat ]
But this isn't funny!
Ah, elephant dung will make excellent fertilizer
for our plant.
I will clean that up for you.
[ Growling ]
Aw, man. Give me a break.
It looks like you have a friend for life.
He follows you everywhere.
Kinda like you, Linka.
Hey, how about plantin' one?
Ouch! Why, you...!
[ Pup growling ] Hey, wheres my shoe?
Hey, you little runt!
Now give me back my shoe!
Well, you're almost home, little babushka.
[ Animal yelping ]
Seals! Heart!
Something is very wrong.
Linka: These poor animals!
Gi: Over here!
These beluga whales have beached themselves.
They're very sick.
Ma-Ti: The water looks contaminated.
The river is filled with toxic waste.
Wheeler: Yeah. And I bet those factories
have somethin' to do with it.
Be a good boy. We will be back soon.
So keep our teeth to yourself.
[ Whimpering ]
[ Suchi squawking ]
Linka: Who could do this?
Ma-Ti: Plunder.
It figures he would own this filth factory.
We've gotta nail plunder for this illegal dumping.
Gi: This way.
Bleak: Dumpin' all this junk in the river's illegal,
ain't it, boss?
Depends on what you mean by illegal.
The way I see it, if I don't get caught,
it's not illegal.
Don't people drink outta this river?
Millions.
But I don't look at it as making people sick, Bleak.
I see it as... [ Laughs ]
Subsidizing hospitals.
And once the river is shot,
everyone will be forced to buy my designer bottled water.
It's Pure Plunder, boss!
Hey, time to increase the foul flow.
Gi: Hurry. Let's see what we can find.
There's gotta be somethin' here to bust Plunder with.
Plunder: Uh, just a moment, Bleak.
I forgot my production schedules.
Well, if it isn't the eco-brats.
Bleak, this is what I pay you for.
Right, Mr. Plunder.
[ Gas hissing ]
[ All coughing ]
[ Snoring ]
Bleak, I think Sleeping Beauty here
needs a wake-up call.
You mean wake-up fall!
What the...
Uh, yes, sir, Mr. Plunder.
Please show our guests their luxurious accommodations.
What is this place?
You wanted evidence?
When this drum fills up with chemical waste,
you'll have all you need.
[ Laughing ]
Break time.
[ Pup yipping ]
Gi: It's the wolf pup.
I told you he likes you, Wheeler.
Probably your animal magnetism.
Well, I never thought I'd be glad to see you.
But since you're here,
do your thing on my ropes, munch mouth.
Good boy.
This chemical bath
will clean those planet pains
clear to the bone.
[ Liquid sloshing ]
They are releasing the toxics.
Faster, pup! Come on, Wolfie!
Fire!
Hey! What's goin' on?
Linka: Wind!
Hey! Stop!
[ Coughing ] Whoa!
It is time for teamwork.
Let our powers combine.
Earth! Fire!
- Wind! - Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
You better hightail it, Planeteers,
while I take out the trash.
Just call me an old blowhard.
Hurry. We've got to dump the whole load.
Time's up, Plunder.
Your poisonous plan is a washout.
Guess again, Planet.
Say "good-bye" to the river.
Not yet. Ugh! Whoops.
Missed the door again.
This is not my idea of a good time.
Now, I need a backup plan for the backup.
Well, if it isn't Mr. Mean and Mr. Clean.
Eco-villains in a drum.
I'd love to stay and chat.
But, uh, I've got a whale of a problem to solve.
Plunder: Hey! Hey, don't rock this thing.
Wheeler: It's hard to believe
anyone could hurt these adorable guys.
Da, Wheeler.
But are you not taking things a little too far?
[ Sneezes ]
Hey, I just wanna make sure they're comfortable.
I mean, animals have rights, too, you know.
Welcome to Wheeler's Ark.
[ Sneezes ] Here, Wheeler.
Try this mixture I made
with Kwame's graceful sunray plant.
It may help your sneezing.
[ Sneezes ]
I don't know.
Yuck!
Hey, that's incredible.
Time to check on the rest of the flock.
Nice goin', Wheeler!
All's whale that ends whale.
Better get ready for a tall tale, Gaia.
Planeteers, do we have a communication problem?
It is a long story, Gaia.
But we can try to give them back again.
No. Please, no, no, no.
I'll handle it this time.
Does that mean I have to give up my best bud here?
I'm afraid so, Wheeler.
I understand.
Well, how about one for the road, little guy?
[ Growling ]
Go, Planet!
As people take up more land for their own use,
less is left for plants and animals.
Every day, over 100 species become extinct.
You can help stop this loss.
Don't buy exotic animals taken from the wild.
That way, poachers will have no reason to capture them.
And urge your parents and friends to support laws,
like the U.S. Endangered Species Act,
that protect our natural treasures.
All: The power is yours!
[ Yips ]
Go, Planet!
Technology is a good thing when used wisely.
Still, come technologies cause pollution.
But engineers and scientists
are developing cleaner ways of doing things,
such as alternative energy sources
that pollute less and reusable and recyclable products.
If you have a choice between a product made
from recycled material...
And one that is not, buy recycled.
Support green technology.
The power is yours!
