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 the Soviet Union... 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!
[ Gulls crying ]
[ Whales singing ]
Whales off the port bow!
Well, don't just stand there. Shoot the biggest one!
The biggest one has a baby. I would shoot one of the others.
You shoot the one I tell you to shoot!
I'm telling you to shoot the biggest one!
[ Moans ]
Nice shot, Mikado.
It is Maseo.
Whatever.
Oh!
Whale of a plan!
Whale in a can.
It's going to make us a fortune.
And all in the name of science!
Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha!
Ahh!
Unfortunately, we're running out of room.
Time to head back into port.
I've got something that will cheer you up.
Come by my lab,
and I'll show you the results of my latest research.
[ Crying ]
Oh, how beautiful!
Is it not amazing that something so big
could be so graceful?
One of the most fascinating things about whales is...
Kwame!
Kwame?
He's out there, and he shouldn't be that close.
He's in trouble!
Kwame: Amazing!
Water!
Oh, no!
It is a good thing my camera is waterproof.
It's a good thing you weren't hurt,
getting as close to those whales as you did.
They are huge!
Doing some underwater photography, Kwame?
Not intentionally, Gaia.
I'm sure your pictures are prettier
than the ones I have to show you.
To the crystal chamber, Planeteers.
What's the news, Gaia?
Some old eco-villains are up to some new tricks.
Look.
Gi: Oh! That poor little whale!
An orphan, courtesy of Plunder and Blight.
I don't mind telling you it makes my blood boil.
Gaia, how can they get away with it?
Unfortunately, the international whaling treaty
has some loopholes.
Some people still kill whales
in the name of scientific research.
Research? That's killing!
That's... That's...
Cruel, dishonest, inhumane,
and, in this case, illegal.
That's why I want you to put a stop to it.
You don't have to ask twice. Let's go!
If the rest of the world were like them,
I could take a permanent vacation.
Oh, well.
Now, what are we gonna do about you, little one?
Father, look! They are not doing research.
They are selling the whale meat.
Please, don't go.
Takashi, I have hunted whales all my life.
They are only animals.
I will not tell you again.
Go home.
Kwame: The computer lists the vessel
as the Whale-B-Gone,
conducting scientific research on...
whale repellent?
Everybody knows whales don't hurt people.
It's just an excuse to kill them!
Time to try my new whale repellent.
Ah, gee. They're still there.
It doesn't work.
Shoot them!
Why are we bothering with all these messy experiments
when our plan is merely to kill and can whales?
Oh, don't be a party-poop, MAL, sweetie.
I had to come up with some kind of research.
Besides, I need the whales
so I can get all this wonderful ambergris
to experiment with.
Why, I could perfect my concentrated pollution formula!
[ Gasps ]
[ Coughing ]
What do you think, Plunder?
[ Sniffs ]
It's wonderful.
Just like roses.
I know. I just can't seem to get it right.
So, which one should we try?
This one... my lasso harpoon.
You fire the harpoon,
and this rope shoots out and lassos the whale.
And in case we meet a certain captain
out on the high seas,
we've got a special toxic lasso
with an explosive head
filled with radioactive waste!
Well, I never thought I'd find myself
wishing Captain Planet would show up.
Ha ha ha ha!
Linka: Planeteer alert! There it is!
Confirmed. I have the Whale-B-G on-screen.
Oh, no! They're going after those humpback whales!
[ Gasps ]
No!
Please! Don't kill them, father!
You will not disobey me again!
Go below and stay there!
[ Sniffing ]
Lilacs! Yuck!
This flowery stuff's got to go!
I hate to waste good toxics, but...
Dump it, MAL, baby.
Bottoms up and down the hatch.
Ejecting!
Man overboard!
I see him. Rescue procedure initiated!
Help!
Water!
All right. We've got you.
What is that stuff?
It is poison, and it is spreading fast!
Planet-freaks! Good!
This could be our chance to do a little more... research.
If that stuff spreads,
it's gonna kill everything within miles!
Then let our powers combine.
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined, I am Captain Planet!
Go, Planet!
I'm gonna launder this toxic waste with a little spin cycle.
Going up!
That goop's too hot to handle.
Gi, deploy the grappling arm!
Aye, aye, Captain!
Now, to get a handle on this problem.
Ugh!
Hmm. Let's see. How do we clean up this mess?
I know! Vacuum cleaner!
And what better vacuum than space?
Hey, Menudo, think you can hit Captain Clean and Green?
No! I hunt animals, not people!
That's just dandy!
This specimen is mine!
Well, it's time for a little cleanup.
I'll just open this up and suck all that stuff back inside.
Ugh!
There! That ought to put it in orbit
until I can take care of it later.
Time to... Ooh!
They got Captain Planet!
We got Captain Planet! We got Captain Planet!
Aaaaaah!
Aah! Aah!
We've finally got him.
Ugh! Ugh!
I got to throw this hook, Planeteers.
Uh! The power... is... yours!
Nice move, Blight. You let the big one get away.
Don't carp at me, Plunder.
Oh, men!
Hmph! Women!
They have this big machine.
It cans the whales as fast as they catch them.
It's horrible!
There's our proof!
Takashi, will you testify as an eyewitness?
Yes, but it won't do any good.
The whaling commissioner will want proof.
You mean like a videotape?
Come on, MAL, baby. We need to find them megafast.
Patience, Dr. Blight!
I'm downloading as fast as I can.
Well, it's not fast enough!
I want those Planeteers.
So, what are you waiting for?
Put me in the water.
Good luck.
Got it!
Hold on.
This way!
MAL's in the water.
If anyone can find them, he can.
Well, Blight, that silicon moron is too late, as usual.
I can see the Planet-brats over there.
I heard that, Mr. Plunder-Blunder.
What should I do about their sub, Dr. Blight?
Maybe it's time we did a little recycling.
That sub looks like sea garbage to me.
Feed it to the processor!
No problem.
Fire one!
Linka: Oo-Zhuss!
We're caught!
Try to get away!
No good! It's too strong!
When the commissioner sees this tape,
he'll shut this whaling operation down for good!
Plunder won't be able to lie his way out of this one.
And just in case they need to see the genuine article...
Ugh! Ugh!
[ Gasps ]
We're being pulled in!
Heart!
Kwame!
Wheeler!
We are trapped!
You must shut the processor down,
or we are going to be canned!
They are in real trouble.
I'll finish taping.
The main power room is right above us.
You need two people to shut off the master switch.
Come on! Hurry!
Ugh! The hatch is jammed!
We cannot get out. What can we do?
There's a rock formation below.
I'm gonna try a grappling hook.
You did it, Gi!
Kwame! Wheeler! Hurry!
There it is, Kwame.
Ugh!
Aah! Aah! Aah!
All right! They did it!

[ Can clatters ] [ Gasps ]
Well, well. I think we have rats, Blight.
You go that way. I'll cover the exit.

Whew!
You! The whaler's brat!
Hey, kid, give me that camera!

Thanks, guys. Now, hurry!
Water!

♪ Planeteers in the water ♪
Stop them! Use your magnetics, MAL, sweetie.
Destroy that tape!
My pleasure, Dr. Blight.
What is happening?
We must have passed through a magnetic field.
How strange.
You wanted evidence. You got it.
Wheeler: We've got all the evidence you need
to shut those turkeys down.
Hey!
What happened to the tape?
You tell me. Are you sure this is the right tape?
Yes! I am sure of it!
Nothing could have gone wrong.
Except that magnetic field, remember?
It must have erased the tape.
Too bad.
Like you, I would like to see this whaling operation stopped,
but without evidence, my hands are tied.
What?
You want all of us to go out there again?
Hey, why don't you do something
instead of just sitting there in your big fat chair?
Don't you care?
Unlike you, I cannot fly around the world,
investigate whatever I want without legal authorization!
That's bogus... a cop-out.
That's the real world, young man.
Yeah, right.
And, yes, I care,
but you must bring me that evidence.
Hmm. Okay. What about this?
I got this from Plunder's boat today.
Yes. This is what I need
to open up an investigation immediately!
You will? All right!
Now you're talking!
You hear that, Takashi? Takashi?
Takashi?
Where did he go?
Oh, no. I think I know where.
Come on.
There she blows!
What the...
It's your kid again.
I'll knock that boat right out from under him.
No! Stop!
Give me that. [ Coughing ]
Blight: Don't interfere!
Here. Use the flathead harpoon.
Mm-hmm. Just over there to the right.
Aah!
Blight: Nice shot!
You monsters!
That was my son!
Ugh!
Your son is a pest, and so are you.
I think this is the perfect time
for a... ugh! Family reunion.
Now let's get down to some real whale hunting.
We'll start with that baby whale.
And then it's my turn.
[ Gasps ]
Wheeler: The mother whale just saved Takashi.
Oh, no! Plunder's at it again!
He's aiming at that baby whale.
We must save it!
We are too far away.
Stop the eco-sub. Everyone, outside.
Ugh!
Let our powers combine!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
Captain Planet: By your powers combined...
Uh-oh!
I am Captain Planet!
Go, Planet!
Shooting baby whales, Plunder?
That's pretty low,
even for you.
Get ready, villains.
I think you're gonna get a charge out of this.
Aah!
Plunder: You're history, Planet.
Not today, Blunder.
Blight: Time for plan "B."
MAL, baby, help us.
Create a diversion, quickly!
Am I still your number-one smooch?
Forever and always, sweetums.
Plunder could never take your place.
In that case, bye-bye, Planeteers.
Oh! Oh! Oh!
Uh-oh.
I think it's time for a backup.
Looks like MAL blew it again.
Uh, what are you planning to do with that,
Captain Planet, sir?
Oh, just trying to make a point.
Oh! Oh!
Relax, you two, and enjoy your cruise.
Take over, Planeteers.
The power is yours!
Yay! Yay!
I thank my son for opening my eyes and heart
to the plight of the whales.
We will use my new boat, the Ocean Protector,
to save the whales from greedy, evil people like Plunder.
The Ocean Protector. I like that.
Plunder's loss is Earth's gain.
I'm proud of all of you.
I have a surprise for you outside...
Our newest Planeteer.
Oh, Gaia! The orphan!
There's no way I could see this little one die.
But how are we going to feed it?
Just leave that to a mother...
a mother whale, that is.
[ Whales singing ]
That's what I call one big happy family.
Planeteers: Go, Planet!
Baleen whales are gentle giants of the ocean,
truly unique creatures who hurt no one.
But whales need protection.
You and your family can help
by supporting groups to save the whales...
Wheeler: And by writing to your government leaders,
asking them to support laws
that protect whales from hunting and pollution.
It's your planet, so make sure that whales
are a part of it now and forever.
Remember, the power is yours!
Planeteers: Go, Planet!
The Planeteers want you to join them
in keeping our planet clean, healthy, and beautiful.
Don't litter. It's completely uncool.
Please, put trash in its place.
Remember, if everybody works together...
All: We can clean up the world!
The power is yours!

Wind!
Water! Heart!
