Original subtitles

(male narrator) Our world is in peril.

Gaia, spirit of the 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.

[tires screeching]

[instrumental music]

From the Soviet Union, Linka

with the power of wind.

From Asia, Gi

with the power of water.

[upbeat music]

And from South America, Ma-Ti

with the power of heart.

When the five powers combine

they summon Earth's greatest champion

"Captain Planet!"

(Planeteers) ‘Go, planet!’

[upbeat music]

(Captain Planet) The power is yours!

[instrumental music]

[seagulls calling]

[water splashing]

[dolphins squealing]

(Rigger) Here goes, Mr. Greedly.

[machine whirring]

Them fish are going to fly. Yep. Yep.

‘These new drift nets sure beat'

the old fashioned way of fishin’.

Eh, Mr. Greedly?

Just like strip-mining the ocean.

There wont be a living thing left once I'm through.

‘And every fish in those nets is money in my pocket.’

[boat engine revving]

[fish squealing]

Too bad we can't sell these too.

We catch so many of them.

Who cares? Get rid of it.

Right now I've got bigger fish to fry.

"Why worry about a few dead turtles?’

[water splashing]

[dolphin squealing]

[water splashing]

What a racket!

They'll stop screaming soon enough.

[dolphin squealing]

[instrumental music]

[gasps] Oh, no!

The poor dolphin!

We've got to stop this. Now!

Wheeler!

Linka!

Where is everybody?

[instrumental music]

Earth.

[warble]

Where is everybody?

Ooh!

Hoggish Greedly is wiping out all our sea friends

with his awful drift nets.

We've got to stop him.

Slow down, Gi. What are you saying?

Kwame, he's turning the whole ocean

into a dead sea.

Wait a second, Gi!

[instrumental music]

Hold on.

| Know how much you love our sea friends

but at least we should talk to Gaia.

Gaia would just send us to stop that pig Greedly.

And, and, and if you won't come, I'll go alone.

[beeping]

| still don't think this is a good idea

but | cannot let you go on your own.

Thanks, Kwame.

[instrumental music]

[engine revving]

[water splashing]

See, he's got thousands of miles of those nets.

‘Once Greedly's finished, there won't be anything left.’

It is senseless.

If people would only fish the right way

there would always be enough.

[gasps] Look!

‘A humpback whale!’

(Gi) ‘The drift nets are almost invisible.’

‘Poor things don't have a chance. '

(Kwame) ‘Such a cruel waste.’

Get ready. We're going up.

[engine revving]

[dolphin squealing]

You free the dolphin. I'll take care of the ship.

Hang on, little one. Calm down, my friend.

A few cuts and you'll be free.

Water!

[warble]

[water gushing]

[snorting]

Mmm. Mmm.

[water gushing]

Oh, my fish!

My profits!

Yaah!

It's those pesky planeteers!

Get them!

Right, Boss. Yep. Yep.

[grunting]

(Greedly) ‘Get them now!’

I'm getting them!

[machine whirring]

There you go, my friend.

Hee hee hee!

[squeaking]

[machine whirring] Oh! Oh!

Help! No!

Please, help! Help me!

[evil laugh]

Water!

Soak rigger good!

[water gushing]

Whoa!

Aah!

[water splashing]

Quick! Into the sub!

Those are two fish that aren't going to get away.

Catch ‘em!

Dive!

[engine revving]

[instrumental music]

Watch out, Gi! A drift net! Turn!

No way!

We're ripping through it. Hang on!

[engine stuttering]

[grunting]

We've hit the net! Pull back, Gi!

[grunting] It's not working!

Greedly's got us, Kwame. We're trapped!

The nets are caught in our steering vanes

[machine whirring] We caught 'em! We did! We did!

What you are doing is wrong, Greedly.

We need to put an end to it.

No chance, nature nerds.

I'm keeping you on ice while | go fishing.

[snorting]

I'm sorry, Kwame.

| should have listened to you and waited for the others.

There is no time for regrets, Gi.

We must concentrate and hope that Ma-Ti

will pick up our signal.

Let's do it.

[airplane engine revving]

Oh, no, Linka. You just don't get it.

| understand perfectly.

You think New York is better than Moscow

because you have video hallways.

Video arcades.

Hm..

Something is wrong.

You said it, Ma-Ti. Linka's got it all wrong.

No. It is Kwame and Gi.

Heart!

[warble]

They are trapped on Hoggish Greedly's fishing ship.

What? A fishing ship?

Linka, turn around quick! Let's bolt!

Wait. I'll send them a thought message. It's faster.

[warble]

Kwame, Gi, we need Captain Planet.

- Ma-Ti heard us. - Yes.

Now, let's go topside so that we can join our powers

with the others.

[chomping]

(Kwame) ‘Let our powers combine. '

Hmm?

Now, what are those brats up to?

[instrumental music]

Earth!

Huh?

Fire!

Wind!

Water!

Heart!

By your powers combined, | am Captain Planet!

Go, planet!

The rings.

So that's how those eco-sissies

get Captain Planet to come to their rescue.

Hmm, this gives me an idea.

All | have to do to stop Captain Planet

and his global geeks is get those rings!

[rumbling] Uh-oh!

[upbeat music]

Thanks, Captain Planet.

No problem-o. Better get back inside the sub now.

Okay, Greedly, I'm revoking your fishing license for good!

Eek!

[instrumental music]

[water splashing]

[squealing]

[crackling]

Good. All the fish are free.

And, now, for those killer drift nets.

[water splashing]

Whoa! Rigger!

Uh, yes, Mr. Greedly?

Don't just stand there. Turn the ship around.

Full speed backwards or something!

Don't bother, Greedly.

Your drift net plans are sunk.

I'm getting out of here.

Quick, Rigger. To the mini sub!

Wait for me!

[water splashing]

[engine revving]

Look!

The geo-cruiser!

[instrumental music]

I'm taking in this ship as evidence to the authorities.

Take it down, Linka. Let's make sure everything is okay.

Swim for freedom, little guy.

- Yay! - Yay!

Cheer all you want, planeteers.

I'm not finished yet.

Rigger, mount those super-magnets

on the end of the robot arms!

Yep, Mr. Greedly. Yep, yep.

Great idea. Great idea.

But why?

We're going to go fishing for a little jewelry.

Pretty little rings.

That takes care of Greedly, eh, guys?

Race you back to hope island.

[chuckles] You're on.

[engine revving]

[water splashing]

[warble]

Oh! What? What's going on?

Ugh! Uh!

Aah!

Hey, let go!

Help!

It's a magnet! It's got our rings!

We can't get away!

Greedly's back already?

[engine revving]

Watch this, Ma-Ti.

I'll melt that thing in no time flat.

Fire! Hey? What happened to my fire?

Captain planet still has our powers.

Our rings are useless until he returns

to the crystal matrix.

Ah, just what | wanted to hear, motor-mouth.

[water splashing]

[warble] Uhh! Ugh!

Hang on! I'll try to pull you free!

Ah-ha-ha-ha!

[snorting]

Catch this!

Linka, get back!

[grunting]

Stop it! Stop it!

No! No!

[engine revving]

| love this part.

You kids ready?

[snorting]

Nothing like hog grease to get these rings off.

You're nothing but five ordinary kids now.

Yeah? Well, at least we wasted your lousy drift net racket.

You're pork chops, Hoggish grease-ball!

That was just my test ship, greenhorns.

[laughing hysterically]

Oh, yeah.

Welcome to oinker isle.

Look.

(Gi) But there's no island in this latitude.

(Greedly) Right, there never used to be an island there.

Now, there is.

[laughing]

[snorting]

Get a load of my fleet.

Hog to piglets.

‘Hog to piglets.’

Sooey! Sooey!

Look. It's another fishing boat.

(Greedly) ‘And that's just the beginning.’

| stole a few hundred more to make up

the largest drift net fishing fleet on Earth.

And now | know that without these rings

you can't call that globe-saving busy buddy Captain Planet.

Now, Captain Planet out of the way

Nothing's gonna stop me from using drift nets

to pull-in every living thing from every ocean on Earth.

[snorting]

- 'The power is yours.’ - Sure is!

[laughing]

[snorting]

[instrumental music]

(Greedly) ‘Full speed a-hog!'

We have fish to take and bucks to make.

Bye-bye, planeteers.

And thanks for the new toys.

I'll be back to deal with you eco-saps later.

‘For now, hang loose.’

- No! - Wait!

Greedly! Mr. Greedly!

Wait for me!

[machine whirring]

Oh, no!

We're going to be fishmeal.

Yeah. A real fun time.

Meanwhile, Greedly's gonna fish the oceans dry.

[bang! Bang!]

[gasps] Bozhe moi!

You're rocking the whole bathysphere.

Hey, maybe that's how we get off this ride.

Oh, no. Not more American Cowboy tricks.

Let's rock and roll!

Keep it up! It's working.

If only i had my wind power!

(Ma-Ti) Come on! Work together! Hurry!

We do not have much time.

[screaming]

Rad! This is a fun time.

Hey, look. Greedly left a boat behind.

Let's boogie.

After them!

[instrumental music]

Uh-oh. We've lost them.

No, we haven't.

Look at that trail of filth.

Greedly not only wants to empty the seas

he's polluting them, too.

He is truly a slob.

Quick. Follow that garbage.

Not a dolphin or seal

or whale.

| wonder where all our sea friends are?

Greedly's drift nets have killed them.

All the more reason to stop him.

Hang on, guys. We're going into hyper-drive.

We've got to get our rings back

and kick some pig's tail.

[engine revving]

[Greedly laughing]

[snorting]

(Greedly) ‘This is hog heaven. '

‘With all these miles of drift net’

tomorrow morning we'll have every fish in the sea.

Yes, Boss. Of course, of course.

‘This should be enough.’

[slurping]

Yummy!

But I'm still hungry.

[laughing]

You know, drift netting the ocean

is even more fun than burning down a rain forest.

[laughing]

[snorting]

It sure is, Mr. Greedly. Yep! Yep!

[Greedly laughing]

It's going to stop right now.

I'm getting our rings back.

[Gi gasps] Whoa!

You can't just go in there and take them.

| got us into this and I' going to get us out.

[banging] What's that?

‘Rigger, stop making a pig of yourself and go find out.'

What are you standing there for?

Find out what's wrong.

[slurping]

Ahh.

[gulp]

Oh, no.

[chompli Uh? Pins)

That Rigger can't do anything without me.

You!

Come back here!

Ow!

[instrumental music]

Guards! Guards!

- Yah! - Wheeler, the tablecloth.

‘Quick'!'

[moaning]

(Greedly) 'Hey!'

Get this off me!

Hurry. Gi, our rings!

Ahh.

[grunting]

[snorting]

Ah!

[gasps]

Linka, catch!

[intense music]

Uh-oh!

Wind!

[warble]

Yikes!

Hey, get down from there you stupid kids!

Come on. Let's move.

Whoa!

Uh!

[banging on door]

(Gi) ‘Kwame, Ma-Ti!'

Here are your rings. Catch!

- Huh? - Oh, no!

Let our powers combine.

Earth!

Fire!

Wind!

Stop them, you idiots! Stop them!

Water!

Heart!

[warble]

[water splashing]

By your powers combined

| am Captain Planet!

- Go, planet! - Go, planet!

Just a little waste to recycle.

- Aah! - Aah!

Whoa!

Put me down! Yikes!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

[screaming]

Aah!

Yecch!

Yeow!

(Captain Planet) Time to say good-bye, Greedly.

Your drift net operation is going down.

Hook, line, and sinker.

[whoosh]

[squeaking]

[water splashing]

(Captain Planet) ‘And now to get rid of these deadly drift nets’

‘once and for all.'

- Alright! - Yeah!

Our sea friends can have their ocean back again.

I'm getting out of here!

Planeteers, look!

‘Greedly's getting away!’

[engine revving]

(Captain Planet) ‘Not from me, he isn't.’

Whoa!

Just taking you for a little spin.

Whoa!

Whoa! No!

Aah! Aah!

(Captain planet) 'You like drift nets so much?’

‘Here. Have a bundle.’

Get me out of here!

Let me down!

Guess that wraps you up

for the authorities, eh, Greedly?

Help!

Cut me loose!

Somebody!

Please!

Help!

[whoosh]

You sure fried Greedly's chops.

| was worried when we lost our rings.

But look how well you did without your rings.

Remember, it's not your rings that give you the power

the power is always right here, inside you.

Well, | know I've learned one thing.

Saving our planet is a job

that needs everyone to work together.

- You got that right! - Outstanding!

The power is yours!

(Planeteers) ‘Go planet!’

Today many people use things carelessly

which belong to us all.

Like our oceans

where greedy fishermen

needlessly kill thousands of animals

including turtles, birds and dolphins

along with their catch.

And they are threatening the jobs

of those fishermen who use our oceans properly.

(Ma-Ti) "The ocean needs our help.’

If we don't protect it today

it won't be here tomorrow.

The power is yours.

Earth!

- Fire! - Wind!

- Water! - Heart!

(Planeteers) Go, planet!

(Captain Planet) By your powers combined

| am Captain Planet!
