Captain Planet: The power is yours!
Linka: Help!
Help me!
Oh, somebody please to be saving me!
Don't worry, babe! It's Wheeler to the rescue!
Fire!
Wheeler! What are you doing?
Huh?
Saving Linka.
You nearly saved us all...
from long, productive lives.
Have you gone banana splits?
Hey, I was just dreaming.
It is your own fault you are so pooped.
You and Kwame staying up late,
being couch zucchinis watching those silly old movies.
[ Yawns ]
Actually, I liked them.
And who knew we were gonna get this anonymous tip
about some forest gettin' chopped down.
Not just some forest, Wheeler, an old-growth forest.
Then it's out of the frying pan,
into the forest.
You know, if I wasn't such a dynamite Planeteer,
I'd be a blockbuster cinematographer.
Once the judge sees my pictures,
nobody's gonna nip a twig in this place.
[ Chipmunk chittering ]
Chip-monkeys! Get a picture, Wheeler!
Say, "Cheese," chips!
[ Chittering ]
Gi: Come on, Wheeler, shoot it!
[ Chain saw whirring ]
Loggers?
Hey, hold still, fuzz balls.
Now, smile!
Ma-Ti: Wheeler, look out!
Earth!
- Wheeler! - Are you okay?
Do you need help?
Thanks, Kwame. That was too close.
Look, a spotted owl!
Gi: What was that all about?
Oh, no!
Linka: They did not survive the fall.
Look! One did!
[ Chirping ]
Aww.
Poor little spot.
Come on! We must stop this!
[ Chain saw whirring ]
Wait!
Who?
Us?
You can't clear-cut these trees!
We ain't doin' that. Right, Okey?
Right, Dokey.
Oh, that is a relief.
Yeah, we're just makin' way for the big equipment.
It'll do the clear-cuttin'.
[ Both laugh ]
That's right!
Ooh! Ouch!
But can't you see?
Some of these trees are hundreds of years old.
Linka: And the forest is filled with animals.
Ah, who gives a hoot?
[ Chain saw whirring ]
But, Your Honor, what will happen to the animals?
95% of old-growth forest has already been cut down.
Deforestation in the U.S. is even worse than it is
in the Amazon rainforest.
Plunder: [ Yawns ]
That's all very intriguing, Your Honor, but irrelevant.
Hi, Mr... Oof!
Plunder.
Your Honor, this man is a-a...
Employer!
And these enviro-radicals should keep their noses
out of sound business practices.
[ Clamoring ]
Your jobs will be gone with the trees!
[ Gavel bangs ]
This is an emotional issue.
But we must have order.
[ Clamoring ]
Please!
Your Honor, may I speak?
Come forward.
Who is this person?
I'm a lumberjack who's seen your type before.
You're not creating jobs. You're sending 'em away.
Clear-cutting turns places into ghost towns.
It's time to compromise, to manage our resources.
I'll manage... to get rid of you.
This man will devastate the forest
and ship the logs overseas, shutting our mills down.
We'll end up with no jobs and no trees.
[ Scoffs ] That's ridiculous!
Our anonymous tipster.
Your Honor, Mr. Plunder may be providing
a few temporary jobs.
But he is looting the taxpayers.
Just what do you mean?
The trees are on land Plunder is leasing
from the government for next to nothing.
Federal dollars pay for the roads
needed to haul the logs away.
Taxpayers foot the bill.
Plunder walks away with a monster profit.
Plunder: So what?
It's perfectly legal, Your Honor.
That's true.
Mr. Plunder is not violating any laws.
- If he were... - But he is!
[ Clamoring ]
There are endangered species in that forest.
This spotted owl hatchling proves it.
[ Chirping ]
How do you know that this cute little thing
is a spotted owl?
We saw the mother.
It looks like a plain old owl to me.
The eco-fanatics are making it up!
In a few weeks it will be obvious.
I'm not waiting until this thing grows
spots, stripes, or turns purple!
I forged...
I mean finished my environmental-impact study.
I'm afraid I can't order Mr. Plunder to wait weeks.
But I will issue a three-day injunction
prohibiting any logging.
What?
[ Clamoring ]
[ Gavel bangs ]
In that time, Planeteers, you must prove that there
are endangered species in that forest.
I'd also like to see documentation
on what this venture costs taxpayers.
But, Your Honor, that's not enough time.
It's all the time you've got.
This court will resume in three days.
- Thanks for the tip. - Thanks for coming.
I'll do my best to help you track down the taxpayer info.
We'll head to the forest with our ace photographer.
Those meddling eco-twits must be stopped.
Make sure the only evidence they collect
is their toe tags and body bags.
Both: Okeydokey, boss!
[ Yawns ] I bet the endangered species are sleeping,
like we ought to be.
[ Leaves rustling ]
What's that?
Ah!
Nice shot, Wheeler!
Oops! Sorry, little buddy.
Wheeler, look!
What?
Ah!
[ Bird screeches ]
Hey, look, a bird!
We cannot look, thanks to you!
Touchy.
Here it comes. On three!
One, two...
On what?
Yah!
Ow!
Three!
Hey! Who hit me?
Who hit the camera?
I don't know, but it's trashed.
[ Sighs ] Then stop lounging around.
We have to get to town for a new one.
Something strange is going on around here.
How many more?
You still need form 703, 1026a,
and 9701 in triplicate.
[ Yawns ]
[ Sighs] We don't have time for this paper trail.
That's the procedure.
So how long will it take to find out the road cost?
This office tells you how many roads were built,
not what they cost.
[ Sighs ] That must be the office across town.
Come on.
[ Chirps ]
Gi: When it comes to red tape, Spot said it all.
[ Laughter ]
Linka: These pictures will never do.
Maybe you need a photographer with a better eye.
[ Yawns ] There's nothing wrong with my eye.
Endangered species are just camera shy.
Back to work, Wheeler B. DeMille.
Over there! That looks endangered!
Linka: No, Wheeler, a golden eagle.
Nyet! Banana slug.
Unh-unh! Raccoon.
Linka, is that a Spotted Owl?
Da! Wheeler, get it!
[ Roars ]
Uh-oh!
[ Roaring ]
Ah!
Linka: Wheeler, I think you cracked the lens.
[ Moose call sounds ]
Those dumb Earth-ateers will think
I'm an endangered moose and try to get a shot of me.
[ Gunshot ]
Whoa!
I thought they were using film, not bullets.
Ooh, yummy! Moose stew!
Pretty good disguise, huh, Dokey?
Wha?
[ Moose call sounds ]
Uh, fooled me.
I've been looking everywhere for you pine-heads.
It's not hunting season.
But Dokey has a license.
That's a driver's license.
Dog license!
Beautician's license!
Gimme that!
[ Moose call sounds ]
Listen up, numbskulls.
You're supposed to be keeping those eco-maniacs
from finding endangered species.
[ Roaring ]
Hey, that you, Okey?
Nope, Dokey.
Then that means...
Aah!
This flying stuff's for the birds.
Very funny, Wheeler.
Can you see the grizzly cub?
I've got Yogi in my sights.
Just keep an eye out for mama.
Wheeler, did you remember to put film in your new camera?
What, do you think I'm stupid?
Oops!
What are you doing, Wheeler?
I'm just fixing something.
He forgot the film.
Hey! Hey, come back here.
I'm reelin' her in.
[ Camera shutter clicking ]
My camera! Hey, you can't do that!
Sure we can!
We got a fishin' license.
Gimme five, bro!
Wheeler, are you all right?
Would you believe I need a new camera?
I have never seen so many forms.
Yeah, with all this paper it'll take a forest to save one.
No, no, no. This will never do.
What do you mean?
All forms must be filled out with a dark pen.
Red ink is unacceptable.
[ Chirping ]
I could win an award.
Da, for most cameras destroyed.
Lots of great shots.
No endangered species.
I'm sorry to hear that.
We will get it, judge.
I've forgotten how many different animals
live around here.
That is what we have been saying.
The forest is more than just trees.
Unfortunately, unless there's a spotted owl,
brown bear, or some other endangered creature,
I can't stop the clear-cutting.
There's a bear!
Wrong color. That's a black bear.
Only the brown bears are considered endangered.
Brown, black, who would've thought a bear's hair color
would determine the fate of a forest?
Sad but true.
Just remember the hearing's tomorrow morning.
Good luck!
We will need luck,
or all the animals will be homeless.
[ Shivers ] If I did not know better,
I would think Plunder arranged for this snowstorm.
We've been at it all night,
and we don't have a thing to show the judge.
- Look! - I do not believe it!
A spotted owl!
Okay, Wheeler, it is now or never.
I've got it this time. Nothing can stop me now.
Aah!
Wheeler!
The rapids lead to a waterfall.
We need help!
Heart!
Planeteers, it is time for teamwork!
Huh? What's goin' on?
Quickly! Let our powers combine!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined, I am Captain Planet!
Looks like Wheeler's heading for a big fall.
Aah!
Well, if you can't keep your head above water,
glad to see you kept the camera there.
[ Shivering ] Thanks, Cap.
Time to turn up the heat.
How's that, Wheeler?
Much... Much better.
Oops.
Ugh.
Didn't anyone ever tell you
not to flash in public, Wheeler?
Sorry, Cap.
Remember, wherever you are,
the power is yours!
That's amazing!
Let's just hope it's good news,
for your sake.
Nothing to worry about, I got the shot before I fell.
[ Engine sputters ]
Bozhe moi! Now what?
I'll check it out.
The wires are cut!
We'll never make it to town in time.
Yes, we will.
Last one down is a monkey's carbuncle!
That's "uncle!"
Oh, trouble! Look out!
Pine-head, closing fast!
And pine-head dead ahead.
Oh, no. We'll have to ski jump
and, whoa!
We made it.
Not bad, Yankee.
Mommy!
We're in deep trouble!
[ Crash! ]
Man: Sorry, I can't find them.
When did you say your mother dropped them off?
Oh, about 20 years ago. They're my baby pictures.
What?!
I said, eh, uh, nevermind.
Pine-heads.
[ Doorbell rings ]
Are they ready?
You bet! Hang on!
We got Plunder now.
We will make it to court just in time.
Kwame: It has to be there!
[ Snickering ]
[ Sighs ] There's no spotted owl here.
But, Your Honor, we saw it.
What about the other information you were getting for me?
We were told it'll take weeks to process all those forms.
I'm sorry, but all I can do is rule in Mr. Plunder's favor.
Ah, just like that, we lose another forest.
And isn't it a beautiful day for clear-cutting?
[ Sighs ] Give it up Mr. Snapshooter.
You have been looking through those pictures
for almost a week!
I know I got the shot!
I'm really sorry things worked out the way they did.
Hey! I hoped I'd run into you.
I've got your negatives.
I was so distracted by Mr. Pine-head the other day,
I forgot to put them in the envelope.
Pine-head?
Plunder's slackey?
That's "lackey."
Wheeler!
You did get a spot of the shotted owl.
I mean, uh...
I knew it!
Let me see!
The pinheads must have lifted the picture
before we got there!
That's "pine-heads."
Whatever. I'm going to find Mr. Plunder
and slap a permanent injunction on cutting that forest.
- All right! - Great!
Good news, Spot, you're going home.
I can't wait to see Plunder's face.
[ Gasps ]
It is all gone.
Mr. Plunder, you falsified your environmental-impact study
and interfered with my investigation!
What're you going to do, stop me from clear-cutting?
[ Laughs ]
What happens to you?
Maybe we can release her in another old-growth stand.
With luck she may survive.
How about over there? That's my next target.
[ Laughs ]
You try and stop me, again!
[ Laughs ]
[ Chain saws whirring ]
Planeteers: Go, Planet!
Captain Planet: How many things in your home
are made from trees?
Furniture, books, baseball bats,
even your house's floors and framing.
We need wood, but we also need forests.
Protect forests by using recycled paper goods
and recycling newspapers, cardboard, and magazines.
Use old wood to make new things.
Wheeler: Think of new and creative ways
to reuse and recycle wood products.
It's up to all of us to manage our forests
for a greener tomorrow.
All: The power is yours!
Planeteers: Go, Planet!
The best place to get a pet is at your local animal shelter.
They have lots of great dogs and cats.
Unfortunately, shelters are often forced
to destroy healthy animals
because they cannot find homes for them.
No matter where you get your dog or cat,
be sure to have it vaccinated and spayed or neutered.
Owning a pet is a big responsibility.
But if you care for your animal properly,
it will be a loving and loyal friend.
[ Barks ]
The power to protect pets...
All: is yours!
[ Barks ]
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water! Heart!
All: Go, Planet!
