Dr. Chen: Normally solitary animals,
it is very unusual for male and female pandas
to behave in such an affectionate manner. [ Camera shutter clicks ]
But Pandeo and Juliette clearly love to be together.
[ Engine revs ]
[ Squeals ]
Get the lead out, Stalker!
We want to nail these furballs while we're still young.
[ Both whimpering ]
Don't worry, Mother.
I'll have those pandas pegged in a jiffy.
[ Cries ]
You klutz! I wanted both of them alive and healthy!
Sorry, Mother.
[ Grunts ]
[ Gasps ]
Mame: Grab your gun, Stalker!
It would be a shame to let such a pretty pelt go to waste.
Stop! Stop! Don't do this!
[ Camera shutter clicking ]
Step on it, Stalker.
We don't need any meddling witnesses.
[ Monkeys chattering ]
I still don't see the problem having a few monkeys in a zoo.
[ Growls ] [ Monkeys blow raspberry ]
Don't you see, Wheeler?
It's wrong to imprison any animal.
Linka: I do not agree, Gi.
Zoos can be a good way for people to learn about
all the wondrous creatures on Earth.
Zoos also offer homes for species whose habitats
are being destroyed.
Gi: Perhaps, but most wild animals
require more space than a zoo can offer.
[ Growls ] Look out!
Runaway lion!
Aah!
[ Laughter ]
Get up, Wheeler.
Don't be silly.
Zoos are much more exciting
now that they no longer keep animals in cramped cages.
Right, Wheeler?
Very funny, Linka.
Hey, we need to move.
Dr. Chen is waiting for us at the panda pavilion.
Dr. Chen: So, you see, Pandeo is severely traumatized.
His shoulder was dislocated when the poachers took his mate.
He was sent here because they specialize in animal rehab.
Poor old bear.
Only he's not a bear, more like a giant raccoon.
Whoa, mondo raccie!
Will he be okay?
His wounds should heal,
but it appears his heart may not.
He has acted very depressed
since losing his mate, Juliette.
Any chance of finding her?
Dr. Chen: Pandas are usually killed for their fur.
However, since Juliette was taken alive,
she was probably sold to a private collector.
The problem is, where?
I shot these pictures during Juliette's abduction.
Unfortunately, they're out of focus.
Dr. Chen, can I scan these shots into the Geo-Cruiser's computer?
They might tell us something.
I sure hope so.
[ Computer beeps ]
Any luck, Gi? Check this out.
[ Exhaling, coughing ]
Ma-Ti: You said it, Suchi. It is The Slaughters, all right.
I've heard about them recently.
Supposedly, they were operating out of an illegal animal market
somewhere in Southeast Asia.
If it's out there, we'll find it.
[ Dogs barking, siren wailing ]
[ Animals growling, squawking ]
I can't wait to tell the authorities
about this chamber of horrors.
How much for the monkey? His brains would be very tasty.
[ Chatters loudly ]
My monkey is not for sale.
But we will pay big dollars for a panda.
Pandas are rare, indeed.
I may need help remembering the last time I saw one.
Hmm.
Mame Slaughter had one a couple of months ago.
There was a bidding war, and it sold for a fortune
to Madame Mao's Circus.
Let's move!
So, the kiddies want to see the circus?
Oh, I'll make sure they have the time of their short lives.
But first, to take care of that squealer.
♪♪
[ Grunts softly ]
[ Through telephone ] Exactly, Madame Mao. Uh-huh.
Dangerous nuisances, so be prepared.
They should be arriving at any time.
I assure you, Mame, they will not leave here alive.
Is my mommy coming to see me?
That's right, Clawed.
Now lock up the panda. We have work to do.
[ Crying ] But I want to keep training her!
[ Whimpers ]
Later, Clawed.
Your mother says we're expecting visitors.
You can train them.
[ Cackles ]
Oh, goody.
[ Cries ]
♪♪
What's that guy up to?
Never mind him. Let's move.
It's Juliette, all right. The eyepatch is identical.
[ Whimpers ]
Heart!
It is okay, Juliette.
[ Straining ] Bozhe moi! Juliette's cage is padlocked.
Not for long. Step aside, babe.
I'm gonna smoke it.
Woman: Be right back, John.
I'm just going for a shower and a shave.
[ Tiger growling ]
Sorry, guys.
You can't make me fall for that trench deal again.
Kwame: This is no zoo, Wheeler.
[ Lion grunts ]
Oh, man! That was close!
[ Chattering ]
[ Elephant trumpets ]
[ Second elephant trumpets ] What the...?
Wind!
Light it, Wheeler.
Right. Fire!
[ Elephants trumpet ]
The elephants are out of control.
Heart!
Give me a lift, Kwame!
Wind!
Easy, boy! Whoa!
This place is scary.
I've heard of animals literally going crazy from confinement.
It's okay. You're safe now.
[ Clapping ]
That was quite a performance.
What do you pipsqueaks think you're doing?!
Um, we were kind of looking for a hot meal
and maybe some work.
I could use your talents.
Wow! I've always dreamed of being in a circus.
Working on the inside may be the best way
to get Juliette out of here.
- Gi is right. - We accept.
I'm dying to know what awesome act you want me for.
You'll be amazing with what I have in mind for you.
Kujo will set you up.
This way.
Why'd you give 'em jobs?
I thought we were gonna off 'em?
Your mother said to make sure
it looked like they had an accident.
And what better place for an accident?
Now does Clawed get it?
Oh, yeah!
Now Clawed gets it!
Oh, you and my mommy sure are smart.
[ Animals growling ]
Looking good, Kwame.
You, too, Gi.
[ Grunts ] To the right, Tusker!
Please, Tusker!
Tusker!
Good girl, Juggles. [ Seal barking ]
Toss it to Suchi. [ Chatters ]
[ Chatters indignantly ]
This is show business? [ Grunts ]
My talents are really being wasted here,
Madame Mao.
Perhaps you're right.
I have a much bigger job for you.
This isn't... isn't quite what I had in mind.
You sure it's safe?
The net will be like landing on a feather bed.
At least you will make a big splat with the audience, Wheeler.
[ Laughs ]
That's "splash"!
Wait... Aah!
Whoa!
I'm a goner!
Help!
Wind!
- Wheeler, are you okay? - Are you okay?
[ Coughing ]
Kujo?
The support rope snapped.
What a terrible... accident.
Fortunately, no one was hurt.
This time.
[ Whimpering ]
Oh, poor Juliette.
I would be depressed, too.
[ Chatters ]
[ Growls, sniffs ]
[ Chuckles ] Nice try, Suchi.
She must be starving.
[ Spits ]
[ Whip cracks ]
Excuse me, Clawed?
The animals do not seem to have any food.
[ Laughs ]
Then let 'em eat your stupid monkey.
[ Screeches ]
Enough yapping!
While I'm educating these animals,
you bleach out their cage!
But bleach is bad for the animals' health.
It'll be bad for your health
if you don't do what Clawed says!
Now, move it!
[ Bars clank ]
[ Growls ]
Jump, you stupid hairball!
You would have better success with kindness.
Why, you!
Clawed, Madame Mao wants to see you.
Oh. Uh, thanks.
Okay, squirt.
Yeah, you think you can do a better job training this lion,
go for it.
[ Cackles ]
[ Growling ]
[ Screeches ]
Heart!
[ Growls ]
[ Purring ]
[ Chuckles ] Hey, easy, big fella.
How in the world?
[ Chattering ]
- What is it, Suchi? - What is it?
Nice, kitty.
Looks like you made a friend.
Don't play innocent, Kujo, you lousy sneak!
We caught you red-handed!
I guess you did. But I got to sneak,
because if Madame Mao sees me feeding the animals,
she'll fire me.
Enough loafing.
Time to get ready for the show.
[ Whispering indistinctly ]
Come on, Red. I have the perfect act for you.
All right!
[ Circus music playing ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
Whee-hoo!
[ Laughter ]
I love showbiz!
[ Splat! ] Huh?
[ Loud splat! ]
[ Laughter ]
[ Both laugh ]
I always wanted to do that, too, Suchi.
Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to Madame Mao's Circus Extraordinaire!
More like Circus Unfair.
You said it. This place is awful.
Good thing we're getting Juliette out of here after the show.
Behold, the incredible pirouetting panda!
Dance!
[ Waltz music plays ]
I cannot believe Madame Mao has me humiliating these animals.
I am sorry to make you do this, but please be good, Tusker.
[ Cheers and applause ]
[ Drum roll ]
Madame Mao: And now for the Flying Finitos!
[ Up-tempo music plays ]
[ Indistinct shouting ]
[ Audience gasps ]
[ Gasps ]
Grab my hand, Gi! It's too far!
Wind!
Got you!
[ Cheers and applause ]
[ Elephant trumpets ]
[ Screaming ]
If you want something done right, do it yourself.
Let's see some action, Dumbo!
[ Trumpeting ]
I'll help, too, Mommy.
[ Audience panicking ]
Wheeler: It's Mame Slaughter! We've got to stop her!
[ Bears growling ]
[ Panicking continues ]
This pole can't take much more!
Then let our powers combine. Ooh!
Earth!
Easy, Yogi. Fire!
[ Elephant trumpets ]
Wind!
Water!
[ Suchi screeching, seal barking ]
Heart!
[ Electricity crackles ]
By your powers combined, I am Captain Planet!
Uh-oh. They're not clowning around.
That's five-ring panda-monium.
I'd better hurry or the big top will be a flat top!
[ Elephant trumpets ] Easy, friends.
I can't "bear" to see you so upset.
Mame: Hurry, Clawed!
Let's down this do-gooder once and for all!
Okay, Mommy!
Ready? "Mame!" Fire!
[ Sizzling ]
[ Grunting ]
[ Groans ]
[ Planeteers gasp ]
These troublemakers know too much.
Right. Time to torch the evidence.
We need a hose to wash Cap off.
Got something better. Suck it up, Tusker.
Now blow, Tusker, blow!
[ Gargles ]
Nothing like a shower after a close shave.
Hey, thanks, Jumbo.
- All right! - All right!
[ Fire crackling ] Wheeler: Huh?
Uh-oh.
This must be the hottest show on Earth.
Time to pitch this tent...
before I get too burnt out.
I'm out of here!
Wait for me, Mommy!
[ Engine sputters ]
[ Banging ]
- Oh! - What's that?
[ Shouting indistinctly ]
- Get us out of here! - Go, Mommy, go!
What do you think I'm trying to do?
[ Engine sputters ]
[ Tires rev ]
Get off of me, you big oaf!
Sorry, Mommy.
[ Whip cracks ]
Now what?
Step right up, ladies and gentlemen!
Run for it, Clawed!
Yes, Mommy!
Wait for me!
Okay, guys, let's have a ball...
or three.
[ Shouting indistinctly ]
[ Lion growls ] [ All gasp ]
Uh-oh!
[ Screaming ]
[ Chuckles ] Turn around's fair play,
and I ain't "lion." [lyin']
This ought to fire 'em up.
Aah!
[ Growls ]
Nice pussy!
Neato. Look at 'em go.
[ Screaming ]
[ Gasps ]
[ Growls ]
Out of my way!
Ouch!
[ Clank ] [ Gasps ]
Show's over for you folks.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Well, it's out of the cage and into the clink
for these animal abusers.
I'm taking 'em in. Good work, Planeteers!
Well, that's the end of Madame Mao's sadistic circus.
[ Elephant trumpets ]
Hopefully, Dr. Chen can help the animals
find healthier homes.
But it looks like you're out of a job, Kujo.
Maybe not.
I've always wanted to do a show that doesn't exploit animals.
Using acrobats, trapeze artists,
and clowns, I can create a magical show!
[ Laughs ] That's what I call a circus extraordinaire.
♪♪
Dr. Chen: What a beautiful sight to see those two back together again.
In their natural environment.
The reserve is still a form of captivity,
but until we can stop the poaching,
it is the best we can do.
Hey, after what Pandeo and Juliette have been through,
this place must look pretty good.
Pbht!
- Go, Planet! - Go, Planet!
Gi: The best thing you can do
to help our environment is get involved.
Join an environmental group
or team up with friends to start your own projects.
Clean up a park or a beach.
Organize a recycling program at school
or in your neighborhood.
Or plant trees and remember to take care of them.
It's all part of making our planet healthy again.
We must all work together to protect the animals, trees,
oceans, and air.
The power is yours!
Go, Planet!
Rhinos may not be the cutest animals in the world,
but they are part of nature's rich diversity.
To kill an endangered animal just for its horn or skin
is not only wrong, but illegal.
Unfortunately, some places in the world
are not enforcing the law.
And rhinos continue to be hunted toward extinction.
So please, do not buy rhino
or any other endangered animal products.
Remember...
Together: The power is yours!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water! Heart!
All: Go, Planet!
