Captain Planet: The power is yours!
♪♪
Wheeler: It's hairier than we thought.
This tub's a total rust heap.
Kwame: Single hull.
Judging from the algae and oxidation,
she sank over 20 years ago.
Gi: The outcropping it's rusting on is eroding.
One more bad storm could push her over the edge.
Forget one more.
This storm's gonna do it.
Kwame: Oh, no! Whoa!
Hang on.
We'll use the Eco-sub as a counterbalance,
but you must work fast.
Da. There is no telling
how long the shelf will hold.
Kwame: If it goes, this toxic cargo
will create an eco disaster
like we used to see in the old days.
Aah! Kwame, Gi, look out!
Oh! Watch out!
Dr. Blight!
We're in double jeopardy.
We need help from the big guy.
Then let our powers combine. Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am, as always, Captain Planet!
Long time, no summon, Planeteers.
At least my hairline hasn't budged,
and there's less waist these days...
Uh, toxic waste, that is.
But now it's time for a dip with Dr. Drip.
Aah!
Captain Planet: Still sucking up, eh, Dr. Blight?
Aah!
Got to stop it.
Can't let... crash.
Too much toxic still inside.
[ Coughs ]
Must regenerate.
The power is yours.
Blight: Zing, a ding, ding, I've got the rings!
[ Laughing ]
Plunder: Congratulations, Blight.
You, too, Greedly, old boy.
We've still got it.
With the planet pests out of the way,
nothing can stop me from becoming the next president.
Except for me.
Well, whichever of us wins this election...
it'll beat the slop out of some honest eco-ick
getting into the Oblong Office.
Too true.
But the power is mine.
♪ Zing, a ding, ding! ♪
[ Laughs ]
Rigger: And now it's mine.
Yip, yip, yip!
So...
Plunder, we did our part.
When you gonna take care of that Jane Green candidate?
She's ahead in the polls.
Yeah, she's the only thing standing between us
and a free ride on Air Force One.
My running mates are on it.
Stay tuned for a news flash.
With Green out of the way,
I'm the red, white, and blue shoo-in.
Dream on, Doctor.
My campaign commercials are flooding the airwaves.
Ours, too. Look, boss,
it's you and Honest Abe.
Ask not what I can do for your country.
Ask what I can do for you.
Tell 'em, Mr. Rigger. Oops.
Uh, so,
vote the Demagogue ticket. Yip, yip, yip!
More like Dema-hog.
Vote the Plunder Pinehead's Repulsican party ticket
so these kids can grow up filthy rich.
I believe in big tax breaks.
The bigger the income, the bigger the break.
No matter how you got it, you shouldn't have to share it.
Nobody's naive enough to elect any of you.
Now, now, now, now. Be sweet, Bitsy, dear.
My own daughter turning on me.
How could I have raised an eco freak?
Why did I let you hack into MAL's memory bank
and study the planet pains?
It's all your fault!
You ruined her!
Aah!
Don't blame Uncle MAL.
It's not his fault I'm voting for Jane Green.
Only if she's still in the running.
Now get lost, everyone.
Mr. Malcontent and I need to strategize.
I thought those lame duck losers would never leave.
Call me fragged,
but I don't believe for one millisecond that
you'd let one of those twits win the election.
Right you are, compu-sir.
Voilà!
If by some quirk I don't win,
I'll simply go back in my latest time machine
and stuff the ballot boxes.
Just think, I'll be the first A.I.V.P...
Artificially Intelligent Vice President.
[ Scoffs ] Are you kidding?
There's a long history
of artificial intelligence in office.
MAL, baby, with the planet pests under wraps,
we're headed straight for the Blight House.
[ Blight and MAL laughing ]
Locate Planeteers. Enter.
Bitsy, Bitsy, Bitsy.
Hacking into my hard drive is a no-no.
We've discussed this ad nauseam.
But Uncle MAL-icans,
you're the only one who can help me.
My hero.
You're the apple of my icon.
However, helping you would be political suicide.
But don't worry, I won't leak the story to your mother.
Mwah! Bye, Bits.
There's got to be a way!
I wonder.
There's something familiar about this scene.
Go, Planet!
She's really melting down my patience.
Stand still, blue-fus!
- Planeteers! - Who is that?
Got me, but she's sure a babester.
I know this is gonna sound crazy,
but I've come to the past to help you rescue yourselves.
In the future, that is.
You are right. That sounds crazy.
Look, I can explain.
I can prove I'm from the future
by telling you what's gonna happen next.
First, Mom's gonna do a figure eight around Cap.
Then Cap's gonna say...
Both: Next time, let me know when you're gonna buzz by.
Now, Cap's gonna blow Mom away with a lightning bolt.
But of course he'll save her.
Incredible.
She is either from the future or psychic.
We're running out of time, Planeteers.
You've got to believe me.
How can we trust an offspring of Blight's?
It could be a trap.
Maybe, but at least I'll get to see
how cute you turned out, blondie.
It's now or never! Please!
Let's go for it.
Later, Planeteers. The power is yours!
Ma-Ti, our powers!
♪♪
Well, Gi, it looks like our powers
are a thing of the past.
Put these on in case someone comes in.
Gross! I can't wear this.
No offense, but I'm turning mine inside out.
Hey, I understand.
But if you think that's scary,
check out the campaign promises.
Vote for me on the Co-Dependent ticket,
and live better through chemistry.
We bring dead things to life.
And vice versa!
Blight's still an environmental disaster.
I've told Mom a thousand times,
balloon releases kill animals.
How did Blight manage to do all of this?
With enough ill-gotten gains, anyone can run for office.
Wait, what's this.
Fellow citizens, regretfully,
I have decided to withdraw from the race for president.
In a startling development,
leading candidate Jane Green dropped out of the race.
No one can locate Miss Green for comment.
She's probably been kidnapped like you guys.
I mean the future you guys.
Green was the only one who could beat Mom and the others.
We could still trounce them.
We can't.
We don't know where they're hiding Green
and the future Planeteers.
And if we tip our hand,
they may do something drastic to Green and...
us.
Oh, this is too confusing.
We can't even summon Cap because we don't have all our powers.
Blight: I don't care what you say,
my trickle-down pollution platform is a winner!
Quick, act like, uh, campaigners.
Bitsy?
What are you up to?
With Jane Green out of the race,
I decided to campaign for you, Mom.
My friends are gonna help, too.
I knew you'd come around, my itsy Bitsy.
I'm gonna Ralph.
Here you go, future V.P.-elect.
Kids to help with your V.P. lackey work.
Something familiar about these guys, yip, yip.
Then again, my memory isn't what it used to be.
Hey, boss, don't they look familiar?
I don't have time to play games.
I've got to prepare for the great debate.
I need makeup. 'Cause... [ Belches ]
Image is everything.
Come on, campaign kiddies.
You're gonna help the big boss get elected.
We've got to find ourselves,
'cause our future's fading fast.
No Planeteer leads in Plunder's office.
Check out this dung-slinging debate.
And your stance on illegal immigrants, Mr. Plunder?
Why not just ask Dr. Blight?
She's got one for a running mate.
Seriously, does anyone really know
where that MAL thing is from?
Oh, listen to Mr. Plunderful.
He invented the L&R scandal...
Loan and repo.
I am not a crook.
Heaven help us if they're ever running the country.
Mr. Plunder, is it true
you're lining your pockets with money
from special interest groups?
Why are you picking on me?
Greedly is the one taking millions from fast food
and candy companies,
not to mention a lifetime supply of party snacks.
Not one dime or one doughnut.
[ Laughing ]
Oops. Dr. Blight, is it true
you want to turn national parks
into landfills?
Well, yes.
But let's not skirt the real issue here.
Ma-Ti: A vote for Greedly, Blight, or Plunder
is a vote against our planet!
Have you considered a write-in vote
instead of the three... candidates?
Nah, it's not even worth voting with Jane Green out.
But Daddy, you have to vote.
Listen to your daughter.
Your vote is your voice in how the country's run.
See, Daddy? You're right, honey.
I will vote.
Wheeler, how can you eat
while the rest of us are working?
I'm working, too.
Rigger sent me to fetch six food orders,
and I may have discovered my newest
all-time favorite burger.
A double-double bacon, peanut butter,
and banana cheeseburger.
With extra ketchup.
Disgusting!
Only you could eat that.
If only Wheeler can eat that...
Where are you supposed to deliver the food?
The Water Debate Hotel.
Penthouse.
Let's go.
Hey, I won't mind if I eat my own burger, will I?
[ Knocking at door ] Hey!
Coming!
You deserve a break-in today.
Wow! It's us to the rescue.
I can't believe my eyes. That's it!
Geo jerks!
Aw, two sets of geo jerks.
You! I am so tall!
That's right, kid.
Not only is a growth spurt coming,
but you'll learn to contract.
Wow.
Bitsy.
What?!
You've been playing with the time machine.
Oh, great. More planet pests.
Ay-yi-yi-yi-yi.
This is not good, Bitsy.
Uncle MAL, I couldn't sit by
while Mom destroyed the planet.
You don't understand.
Plunder's rigged the hotel
to explode right after the election.
Say what?!
Oh, my.
It looks like I'll have to blow this joint a little early
since I'm not about to blow the election.
But this hotel belongs to Mr. Greedly!
An added perk.
In five minutes, all the eco nuisances
and plain Jane Green
will be political history.
Run, Bitsy! Run!
Too late!
Oh, no!
Well, I'm off to make my acceptance speech.
Time for a team beam.
No rings.
Two of our powers stayed in the past.
Hey, I got four planet rings.
Will that help? Yeah.
Hey, mine's not here.
But mine is!
Let our powers... You go.
No, please, you.
Let our powers combine.
Earth!
Fire!
You go, for old time's sake.
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
Both: We're two, two, two Caps in one.
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
Time to crash this political party.
Cap, you've got to find Jane Green.
And we don't know what room the bomb's in.
Hate to eavesdrop, but there are lives at stake.
The following may contain adult material.
Childish discretion is advised.
Yip, yip, yip! Go, Planet!
[ Crashing ]
Looks like the father of the bribe.
These guerillas won't be "mist."
Aah! Whoa, that's what I call
a dynamite campaign position.
Come on, Miss Green.
We're gonna blow this scandal wide open.
Mario Andretti, move over!
We've got to get to the convention center
before all votes are in,
or one of the terrible troika will be a superpower.
Don't sweat it.
It'll be hours before all the returns are in.
Hate to burst your bubble, double,
but nowadays, all voting is done by computer.
The polls just closed,
meaning the winner will be announced
in a matter of minutes.
[ Honking ] Great, we've got company.
Plunder's pathetic Pineheads.
Aah!
Hang on!
I can't ditch him.
Perhaps a road block would help.
Shall we?
Both: Earth!
Whoa!
Nice work, Kwames.
Now, let's see where the election stands.
The computers are tallying the electronic vote.
Let's go! Hurry!
Ladies and gentlemen, the results are in.
At 5% of the vote, Looten Plunder.
Peasants!
With 3% of the vote, Hoggish Greedly.
This election's fixed!
And with 80% of the vote, Dr. Blight.
I won! I won!
Start playing "Hail to the Thief"...
I mean "Chief," boys.
[ Jeering ]
Bitsy: I can't believe my mom is President.
What a travesty.
Excuse me, a correction.
Dr. Blight has 18%...
I repeat, 18% of the vote.
Impossible!
What happened to the other 74% of the vote?
74% of the voters wrote in "None of the above."
It appears that we're in for a new election.
I demand a recount!
[ Crowd jeering ]
The vote's in, people,
and you proved the power really is yours!
[ Cheering ]
As for you... What?
What? Whaaa!
It seems folks have had enough of your dirty politics.
You may be blue, Captain Planet,
but you'd make a truly Green running mate.
Even Uncle MAL is coming around
to our way of thinking.
He's actually agreed to help me work on Mom.
Isn't that right, Uncle MAL?
Hey, I never had anyone in my life
to leave a better future to.
Bitsy's got her Uncle MAL wrapped around her finger.
I'll say. The way he dotes on her,
you'd think he was her dad.
All: Nah.
It is time for us to get back to where,
or rather, when, we belong.
I want to thank you for all you've done,
and for all you're still doing.
Here's your ring, Wheeler. Mom won't be needing it.
I'll sure miss you, Bitsy.
It'd be nice to get to know you better.
It would never work, Wheeler? Why not?
You're too old for me. What?!
As in, she's not even born yet in our time.
But I'll never forget that kiss.
What kiss? This one.
Mwah!
Oh, boy!
That's the best kiss-off I've ever had.
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water! Heart!
All: Go, Planet!
