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.
[ 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!
Captain Planet: The power is yours!
[ Screaming ]
Time for a team beam before it's too late!
Let our powers...
Oh! Ugh.
Gi: That was close.
At least we survived the crash.
What the...
Avalanche!
[ Screaming ]
Wind!
Director: Cut!
And print it!
[ Cheering ]
[ Excited chatter ]
All right, everybody, get ready for the next shot.
So, how'd we do? Fine.
Okay, bring in the real actors.
I'm finished with the stunt doubles.
Man: Yes, sir, Mr. Button.
I don't understand why we can't just play ourselves.
After all, the film is about us... sort of.
We are not Hollywood enough, Wheeler.
Uh, I do not see me.
I hope I am not so, how should I say...
Plastic?
Still, we must put our egos aside.
Kwame's right.
What's important is that Hollywood
is finally doing a big-budget environmental film.
Actor: It is always good when filmmakers show people
the problems the Earth is facing.
I guess you're right.
I never realized how films were made
and how many people it takes.
Or how much trash is produced.
Man: Bambi, darling, for you, anything!
Just tell me why we're not using recycled products
and why there are no recycling containers on the set.
Well... I...
Before I agreed to star in this film,
you assured me that the studio was environmentally conscious.
Hey, no problemo. It's taken care of.
Trust me. [ Chuckles ]
Hi. I'm Bambi Blight.
It's an honor to meet the real Planeteers.
Wow! Bambi, the honor's all ours.
Right, guys?
Uh, guys?
Uh, yes. Yeah. Pleased to meet you.
Great. Everybody's happy?
Oh, let's go see Tom.
He's a genius. You're gonna love him.
I mean it.
All: Blight?
The resemblance is too striking.
They must be related.
Who?
What are you talking about?
Bambi Blight, as in "Dr. Blight."
You think that gorgeous gal's related to Dr. Do-bad?
No way.
Da way, dodo.
So what?
So what's a Blight doing on an environmental film?
I don't know.
But I can't believe anything that cute could be bad.
Trouble? Maybe.
Bad? No.
Hmm. I wonder what part she is playing.
You. And you're looking fine, babe.
Bambi, how does it feel to be one of the biggest stars
in Hollywood?
Well, I'll tell you.
You see, I'm just happy to be doing a film
to help the environment.
I feel...
Stop your yapping!
MAL: Hubba, hubba!
I'd like to take a mega-bite out of Bambi.
That overrated ham?
Do I detect a touch of sibling rivalry?
I've always despised that doting dingbat!
Really?
Well, I've been a Bambi fan ever since "Triassic Spark."
[ Whistles ]
She was absolutely electrifying.
Bambi always got all the attention,
even though I was smarter and much better-looking.
[ Laughs ]
In fact, I'm better at everything than my sister...
Even a better actress.
And I'll prove it, byte-head!
[ Dopey voice ] Hey, hurry, Zinka.
We gotta call Admiral Earth.
I don't talk that way. The guy's doin' me all wrong.
I'd better tell the director.
No, Wheeler, don't! I wouldn't do that if I were you.
Listen, Mr. Button...
Uh, Tom... The accent's all wrong.
Really? [ Chuckles ]
Somebody get him off my set!
Actually, I was thinking the same thing.
Fine. We'll discuss it later.
Now can we get back to work?!
Did you hear that? Bambi agreed with me.
Isn't she incredible?
[ Laughs ]
Do not forget, Wheeler...
Your precious Bambi is a Blight.
Quiet, everybody!
All right, Let's rehearse the monkey.
[ Monkey chatters ]
Okay, Bambi, take it from the top.
[ Gasps ] Are you all right, Screechy?
Fabuloso, babe.
What's going on? What's this?
One more time, please! With a little more feeling!
I am doing fine, babe.
Yo! Hold the phone!
Monkeys can't talk.
They can in Hollywood, okay?
Now, where's the superhero? I'm ready to rehearse him.
I'm not sure where to find Mr. Planet.
He wasn't in his dressing room.
[ Scoffs ] So where is he? Time is money!
I-It is a little hard to explain.
You're on, Kwame, my man.
Let our powers combine!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined, I am Captain Planet!
[ Gasps ] Ohhh!
Impressive special effects.
With a little work in post, it'll be a real winner.
I always thought I should have my own movie.
I'm so excited to be working with Captain Planet.
I-I'll introduce you.
Me and CP are like this.
Bambi, meet the one and only Captain Planet.
It's a pleasure.
I want to thank you personally
for donating your services for this picture.
[ Chuckles ]
Well, anything to help the environment.
[ Scoffs ] You call this a costume?!
A superhero without a cape?! Nobody'll buy it!
No problem. I'll fix it.
Yes, well, I've got to run.
I left my script in the dressing room.
Now report to makeup.
And tell him to lose the blue skin.
And do something with that hair!
Sorry. I'll have to check with my agent first.
See you later, Planeteers.
The power is yours!
Somebody check his contract.
Yes, sir.
Okay, everybody, set up for the next scene.
Look out!
Wind!
What happened?
Calm down, everyone. Just a little accident.
It was no accident. The rope was cut.
Who would want to sabotage the film?
Is everyone all right?
I thought you said you were going to get your script.
I did.
I mean, it wasn't there.
Is this your script?
[ Chuckles ]
I'd lose my head if it wasn't attached.
[ Laughs ]
Yeah, me too.
What are they doing?
Scrapping the set piece.
But it's hardly damaged.
Can't it be reused or recycled?
Too much trouble, babe.
Beside, set designers like to work with fresh material.
Maybe you should read the script you're shooting.
A lot of studios are already environmentally conscious.
It's time this one was, too... Or I'm off the project.
Bambi, sweetheart, talk to me.
Is she great or what?
[ Scoffs ] A great actress, maybe.
I think it is time to have a little chat
with Ms. Blight.
[ Laughs evilly ] It looks like my plan
to discredit my saccharine sister
is off to a smashing start.
So, when's your acting debut, Doctor?
Getting stage fright, are we?
Can it, disk-head!
When I step into the limelight,
the name Blight will go down in infamy!
There she is.
Bambi! Wait up!
Hi. What's going on?
Are you related to a Dr. Blight?
Yes. She's my sister.
Da! I knew it!
That explains the accident.
You think I had something to do with that?
[ Crying ] Thanks a lot.
Nice going, Linka.
We don't get to pick our family, you know.
What are all those scripts for?
They're revised movie scripts.
But we just got the revised copies this morning.
They were blue.
Those are obsolete.
These are the revised revisions.
Let's see.
I hope they didn't mess up our parts.
Sorry. These go to the people on the A list.
You're on the C list.
But if you want, you can grab one out of the copy room.
In here.
I hope they haven't turned me into a geek.
Look at all the paper.
I wonder how many trees it takes
to make the scripts for just one movie.
[ All gasp ]
Fire!
[ All coughing ]
There's no water source!
I'll get us out!
Fire!
The door must be fireproof.
[ Grunting ]
It won't open!
We are trapped!
[ Coughing continues ]
[ All coughing ]
[ Grunting ]
Something must be blocking the door!
I will try to move it.
Earth!
Sounds like you got it!
That's some doorstop.
Now to douse the fire.
Water!
What happened?
Ma-Ti: We're not sure.
Unfortunately, some of your revised revisions were burned.
Doesn't matter.
The revised revisions were just re-revised.
I got to start all over.
That's strange.
What is it? Your ring?
Yet mine is right here.
Hey, wait a minute.
This isn't a real Planeteer ring.
Let me see.
It's a prop.
Da! It is Bambi's ring!
Come on, guys. Bambi couldn't have done it.
She's a big movie star.
And a Blight.
Whoa!
I didn't know they had anything like this in LA.
Hey, you're in Hollywood, kid,
the land of fake trees and painted backdrops.
But all this lumber?
Why not just shoot in a real rainforest?
Yeah, we considered that,
but the forest they were gonna use was just clear-cut.
Probably for this shipment.
Besides, Mr. Haywire says this'll look more real.
What kind of wood is this?
Lauan.
Lauan plywood?
This is from the tropics.
Best stuff to work with.
Yes, but at the rate the rainforests are being cleared,
soon, the trees will be gone.
Ironic...
Cutting down trees to make movies about saving them.
Hey, there's Bambi.
[ All gasp ] Look out!
Wheeler: Bambi! Look out!
[ Screams ]
Fire!
Wind!
Watch out!
Bambi, what on Earth were you doing in that crane?
[ Gasps ] What are you talking about?
I was in my dressing room.
We all saw you.
But you saw Wheeler save me.
Why would I risk my own life?
Linka: To throw off suspicion.
To throw off suspicion?!
Ha! Good one, blowhard.
Destroying sis's career is giving me a real appetite.
So, Dr. Melodrama, when is your big scene?
I can step into Bambi's shoes any time.
Her shoes, maybe,
but not her jeans, at the rate you're scarfing doughnuts.
Agh!
It's time to drop the final curtain on Bambi.
What... What do you mean?
[ Voice breaking ] But... But I would never do anything
to jeopardize this film.
[ Crying ]
Why doesn't anyone believe me?
I...
Woman: Bambi Blight,
report to your dressing room for makeup.
[ Crying ]
I'm ready.
Me too!
Ready to stop you from redeeming the Blight name!
Babs?
That's "Dr. Blight" to you, sister!
I should have known. Mother was right.
You've always been jealous.
Jealous?! Of you?!
Ha!
I just know Bambi's innocent.
Maybe, Wheeler.
But we won't know until she gives us some answers.
Ma-Ti and I will do some snooping around
while you talk to Bambi.
Let's do it.
Bambi.
Just a... Ahem... just a minute.
[ Creaking ]
[ Grunting ]
Ahhh!
Come in.
Bambi, we were wondering if you'd mind
answering a few questions.
You're darn right I mind.
I don't have to answer to you eco-nobodies.
I'm a star! So get out!
Gee, Bambi. I-I thought you liked us.
You're supposed to think that.
I'm an actress, dumbo.
Now get lost!
I did it.
Congratulate me, MAL-ikins.
[ Rip ]
[ Laughs ]
One word, and you're history.
[ Gulps ] Perish the thought.
[ Muffled screaming ]
Put a sock in it, sis,
before I shove one in your mouth!
[ Muffled whimpering ]
Too bad you're gonna be too tied up
to see Bambi give her final performance ever.
The topper is, I'll ruin your career
and destroy Captain Planet in one take!
Wheeler: Wow. That's some toxic tanker.
GI: It's even bigger than the one.
Greedly used against Cap in real life.
All right, places, everyone.
Okay. Do your thing.
Um, which thing?
The ring number. We need, uh, Captain Earth.
That's "Planet."
Right. Just get him on the set.
We're ready to roll.
Let our powers combine.
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined, I am Captain Planet!
Or is it "Admiral Earth"?
It's showtime!
So, what's my motivation in this scene?
Ohh.
The villain, Avarice Porkly, sets the forest on fire.
Zinka... uh, Bambi is about to be barbecued.
You'll fly to the rescue.
But Porkly blasts you with toxic goo.
Remember, babe, we have to get it in one take.
The fire and the fake toxics will destroy the set.
That ain't all, bucko.
And action!
Stop, Porkly!
Even you would not burn the last remaining rainforest!
Who hired her?
She stinks!
Don't worry about it, babe.
We'll get Kath Soucie to loop her voice later.
This is terrible!
Borscht! Oh, my!
Bozhe moi! She is terrible.
I hope they get that Soucie person.
Hang on, Zinka!
[ Inhales deeply ]
[ Groans ]
[ Coughing ]
Toxic waste... draining my powers!
Whoa! Cap's great!
[ Gasping ]
Help me!
Not a chance, super sucker.
The whole world's gonna watch you fry.
I not only switched the fake goo for real toxics,
I doused the phony forest with a flammable!
[ Laughs evilly ]
Help him! He's not acting!
Wow. Great effect.
How'd you do that?
It's not me! It's Babs!
Together: Babs?
My sister... Dr. Blight!
Hurry! You've got to save Captain Planet!
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Captain Planet! Look out!
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Ooh! I'm a better director than I thought!
Are you getting any of this?!
Uh, isn't this a rehearsal?
How could you do this?!
Easy, sis.
It comes naturally to me.
Bye-bye, Bambi.
Bambi: I'm not taking the rap for you this time!
Ha! Want to bet?
Ha!
It's too late!
Captain Has-Been is ashes.
And your career just went up in smoke with him!
[ Laughs evilly ]
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Captain Planet's still in there!
Like I always say,
"If you can't take the heat, get out of the fire."
Actually, the old flame did wonders
to rekindle my spirit.
All: Go, Planet!
Hmm.
Tankers away, my boys.
I'd say this scene's a washout.
[ Cheering ]
Where are Bambi and Dr. Blight?
Bambi: Right here.
I've got a little present for Security.
Looks like your film debut is a big bomb, Babs.
Ugh!
Cut and print it!
That was... incredible!
Get the writers! We need to re-re-revise the script!
Try using recycled paper this time.
I... um... owe you an apology.
It's okay, Linka.
I'm used to taking the heat for my misguided sister.
Bambi's proved that one bad Blight
doesn't spoil the whole crop.
Back off, goons! Hey, watch it!
It's amazing!
I've crunched some numbers
on this recycling/reusing concept.
The studio will save a fortune!
Who'd have believed helping the environment
would be smart business?
[ Laughs ]
You found out just in time.
[ Chattering ]
Because I think Suchi wants a raise.
[ Chattering ]
[ Laughs ] No problemo. I got it covered.
[ Chattering ]
Pbht!
I guess when it comes to making films that help the environment,
some stars are willing for work for peanu...
Uh [chuckles] bananas.
All: Go, Planet!
We live in a disposable society,
but our resources are not endless,
so we have to conserve them.
We must recycle.
But many things can be reused before they are recycled.
Kwame: Paper lunch bags, for example.
Gi: And plastic grocery bags, too.
You can build lots of cool things out of wood scraps
and other discarded materials.
Like bird houses or bat houses.
Use your imagination to reuse things around the house.
Remember...
All: The power is yours!
All: Go, Planet!
Gi: Water is one of Earth's most precious resources.
Plants, animals, and people need water to survive.
Many towns and cities get their water from rivers,
lakes, or underground springs in the wilderness.
So it is important to conserve water at home
by doing things like taking shorter showers...
Or turning off the water
when we brush our teeth or do the dishes.
That way, there will be more water to share
with our animal friends.
All: The power is yours!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water! Heart!
All: Go, Planet!
By your powers combined, I am Captain Planet!
