Captain Planet: The power is yours!
[ People conversing in Spanish ]
Empty again?
How can there be so few fish in the great river?
Oh, people of the river,
please help me bring back the fish
so my village will prosper.
[ Dolphins chittering ]
Ugh!
Thank you, my dolphin friends.
[ Gasps ]
I am the dolphin spirit.
- It can't be! - But it is.
And I've come for my fish.
But you brought them to me.
The spirit giveth
and the spirit taketh away.
Go tell the rest of your people
to stop fishing my waters!
[ Laughing ]
[ Snorting ]
[ Laughing ]
I sure got those Indians hog-tied
with this dolphin-spirit scam.
Yep, yep!
The way we're scaring off the competition,
we'll end up the only ones fishing these waters.
Thank you for coming.
No problem, Tico.
Yeah, but I still can't believe Ma-Ti dragged us
halfway across the world for some finned phantom.
You actually saw this dolphin spirit?
I saw something.
Probably just swamp gas.
My people have many stories about river dolphins.
We believe that dolphins are our equals.
Come on. A big fish my equal?
Of course not.
Dolphins are intelligent mammals.
I knew that.
Now river dolphins are in danger of being shot
because they compete with fishing.
What happened here?
Ranchers clear-cut the forest to graze cattle.
Now mud and silt are washing into the river.
Make sure you fish out all the piranha.
How come we're collecting these little cannibals, boss?
Health insurance.
Health insurance? Yah!
These guys are bad for your health!
Exactly.
Mmm. Fresh sushi!
Look, boss.
Our other competition.
Huh?
[ Sputtering ]
Those overgrown fish are eating up my property!
[ Gunshots ]
Except river dolphins ain't fish, boss.
Nope, nope. They eat fish.
But they're mammals, just like us.
Whatever.
They're pigging out on my fish!
And they got to go!
Just around this bend is where I saw the dolphin spirit.
[ Chittering ]
Stop!
Water!
Let's move it!
- Come on! - Hurry!
Oh, you poor thing. Easy with him.
There you go.
[ Spitting ]
What do you think you're doing?
We were about to ask you the same thing.
I was just going to cut out its eye.
How horrible!
Kwame: Aw, man! That's gross.
What would anyone want with dolphin eyes?
They are good-luck charms.
- Lucky? For who? - Me.
There is a man in town paying double the going rate,
$3 for each dolphin eye.
Man, I can't believe you'd kill this great fish,
uh, mammal for 6 bucks.
Actually, $3. Only the left eye is lucky.
And I could have used that money.
Come on. Let's head to town
and give this big spender the evil eye.
You go ahead. Gi and I will look around the area
where Tico saw the dolphin spirit.
Ma-Ti: We will circle back and pick you up later.
Kwame, over here.
It appears that our dolphin spirit
has balloon tires.
And a hoggish appetite.
Greedly! Greedly!
[ Conversations in Spanish ]
[ Chittering softly ]
Pee-yew, do these guys stink!
Not as much as you and your outrageous prices.
You can make it up on the dolphin.
Sell both its eyes.
Nobody's gonna know a left from the right
without the head.
I am not sure anyone will pay for the eye of a baby.
Just say they're good-luck charms for kids.
Uh-oh!
Yep, yep, yep. Planet pests.
I got to tell the boss.
See ya.
Oh!
Time to put you out of your misery.
Drop it!
- No! - Oh, man!
It's only a baby! Here.
- Wait! Bring him back! - Come back!
No, stop! No, come back!
- Coming through! - Excuse me!
- Excuse me!
Sorry!
Ugh!
My bananas!
What's he want with the little guy?
Maybe he likes dolphin meat.
Baby-dolphin burgers? Yuck!
Ma-Ti: Stop! No! Wait!
Stop! Wait! Wait! Stop!
Come on.
We can catch him with the Geo-Cruiser.
There he is!
- Over there! - Oh, I can't watch!
- No, stop! - Oh, no.
He's okay, Wheeler.
He didn't hurt the dolphin.
Yeah, well, he better not have.
Ugh, men.
You're letting it go?
Of course.
[ Chittering happily ]
I know how important the dolphins are.
I worked as a fisherman upriver.
Then commercial fleets and other industry came.
- What happened? - Well, the fish
and the animals have started the disappear.
The river I grew up on is dying.
I wanted to preserve my home.
So I created a business using my fishing boat
to show visitors the Amazon and all of its beauty.
What a great idea.
When I heard that this area was in trouble,
I came to help people do the same thing here.
[ Laughter ]
Suchi, I think he's telling you not to litter his home.
[ Greedly snorts ]
What are you talking about?
A little pollution never hurt anybody.
[ All scream ]
Now into my am-pig-ious craft,
or I'll blow you dolphin lovers to bits!
[ Laughing and snorting ]
I hope you're hungry.
We don't want your food.
Wasn't talking to you, eco-ick.
I was talking to my piranha pals.
They're hungry, all right, boss.
Yep, yep! Starved! Don't worry.
They'll be chowing down on Planeteer-ios real soon.
Nobody's making a planet burger out of me.
Now, cut that out.
Well, what do we got here?
I bet this chopper's worth some copper.
[ Grunts ] Give that back!
Stealing a dolphin's tooth will only bring you bad luck.
News flash... I'm not the one with the bad luck!
- No! - You can't do this!
Now, stock the pond, Rigger,
so our guests won't have to swim alone.
Gee, boss, I'm gonna miss these little flesh chompers.
Don't worry.
Once they've been fattened on eco-d'oeuvres,
we'll just cruise by and pick 'em up.
- Piranhas! - Aah!
I thought my fishy friends
would enjoy a candlelight supper.
Bon appétit, piranha!
- No! - You can't do this!
[ All yelling ]
Glad you could drop in for dinner!
[ Laughing ]
Now, the dolphin spirit
is going to dynamite every last dolphin in the river!
- Look! - Kwame, the Geo-Cruiser!
It looks like they found Greedly.
Or Greedly found them.
I'm packed too tight.
I... I can't get my hands free.
Oh, what a way to go.
Wheeler: We aren't gone yet. Look!
Wheeler's knife!
Come on, Flipper!
Flip it here! Hurry, fella.
[ All yelling ]
- Suchi! - Suchi!
Suchi, get the knife over there!
Hurry, Suchi!
[ Chittering angrily ]
Suchi! The knife!
- Come on now, Suchi! - Hurry, my friend!
- Come to me! - You can do it.
Suchi, free Linka's hands.
Good boy, Suchi.
Got it! Wind!
Whoa! Hey! I need my toes.
- Are you okay? - Let me help.
Good job, Suchi! You too, Linka.
The dolphins... how are we going to stop Greedly
from blowing them up?
Well, let's start by shedding some light on the situation.
Fire!
We're too far from my village to get help.
There must be some way.
And here it comes!
[ All cheering ]
Need a lift?
♪ I'll be blowing up the dolphins ♪
♪ All the livelong night ♪
♪ I'll be blowing up the dolphins ♪
♪ Rigger, get it right ♪
Are you sure these b-b-b-bombs are safe, b-b-boss?
They're bombs.
They're not supposed to be safe.
But don't get your tail in a curl.
They're timed,
so they won't start exploding until we're clear downriver.
Then it's one bomb every few seconds
till I've wiped out all the competition.
[ Laughing ]
[ Water splashes ]
Whew.
Aah!
Hey! Be careful with those things!
- There! - Take her low, Kwame!
I'm gonna char me some pork chops.
[ Screams ]
Kwame, Wheeler's in the river.
If another bomb blows...
Then, let our powers combine.
Earth!
[ Sputtering ]
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined, I am Captain Planet!
Next time, Wheeler, keep your seatbelt fastened.
Whoa. That was close, Cap.
Close but no cigar.
Some days, my job is fun.
But, today, it's a real blast.
Bombs away!
Trouble is, these things are gonna blow faster
than I can dunk and throw.
Whoa! Careful, friend.
Animals, like children,
shouldn't play with explosives.
Nice pitch. Planet goes back to pass.
It's a long bomb!
Oh, I get it. You don't want to play.
You want to help. Well, okay.
But it takes more than two to make a winning team.
People of the river, help me.
One little, two little, three little hand grenades.
Four little, five little, six little hand grenades.
Seven little...
whoa.
Huh, I guess these aren't timed to go off yet.
I can fix that.
[ Inhales deeply ]
Thanks, friends! You're doing a bang-up job!
[ All cheering ]
Enjoying the light show, Planeteers?
That should be the last of 'em.
Put it right over the plate, pal.
Unh-unh.
Wait! Erma, bring the bomb back!
What's she doing? It's gonna blow any second.
N-no more kabooms, boss.
And no more dolphins.
Now let's circle around the other channel
and pick up the piranha stash.
Hey, boss, looks like one of 'em got away!
Wow!
Whoa! Whoa!
Whoa! Steady this thing, Rigger!
I'll nail him right between those lucky eyes.
Aye-aye! Get it, boss?
Aye-aye! Yeah.
And now the dolphin's gonna get it.
Hey! I said steady!
Say, boss, isn't that one of our bombs?
Yep, yep!
That's what it was, all right.
My am-pig-ious craft!
Looks like stealing that dolphin tooth
really did bring bad luck.
Worse than you think.
We're in the piranha pool!
Uh, uh, nice fishy!
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
Whoa! Whoa!
Let go, you fanger-on!
Have a snack.
Now maybe my luck will change.
Maybe not! Aah!
[ Chomp! ]
Aah!
Get it off! Get it off!
Looks like the fish are really biting today.
Although fish were disappearing from this part of our river,
today, they are making a strong comeback.
And now when people come to shoot river dolphins,
most of them use cameras.
All: Go, Planet!
Gi: The best weapon against the problems
facing our planet today is information.
The more we know about the energy crisis,
pollution and disappearing resources...
The more we can do to help.
Television is also a great way to learn about other cultures
so we can understand each other better.
Read, watch the news and share what you learn
with your family and friends.
Knowledge is power.
And the power to make a better world is yours!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water! Heart!
All: Go, Planet!
