(male narrator) Our world is in peril.

Gaia, the 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.

From North America, Wheeler, with the power of fire.

From the Soviet Union, 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!

(Planeteers) Go, Planet!

(Captain Planet) The power is yours!

[dramatic music]

[thunderclap]

This is the last time I'll let you take the wheel, Skumm.

We're a 1,000 miles off course

and down to our last scrap of food.

[snorting]

Quit bellyaching, Greedly.

You don't hear my little pals complain.

[screeching]

Why, you dirty rat!

Aah!

Now look what you did, you big ham.

‘My toxic sewer scum spilled all over them.’

[snarling]

Hey. What does that stuff do?

| don't know. I've never tested it.

But we'll find out now.

[snarling]

Uh-oh!

Here. You talk to 'em.

They're your relatives.

B-b-back off, you wretched rodents.

We're all members of the same rat-ternity, ain't we?

Hey. They must know I'm the big cheese around here.

Maybe, but if we don't hit land soon

| got a feeling they'll eat us like cheese.

[Australian accent] G'day! What's a pretty sheila like you

doing in the Australian Outback?

Never mind Outback, Wheeler.

You should watch what's out front.

- Huh? - 'Aargh!'

Aah!

[chittering]

[all laughter]

[laughs]

Wheeler, surely you do not think

this museum lets wild animals run loose.

Especially the ones in the extinct species exhibit.

- 'Yeah, yeah, real funny.’ - These exhibits make me sad.

(Kwame) ‘So many kinds of animals have disappeared’

‘and more are being wiped out every day.’

Speaking of "wiped out," let's get something to eat

before we go extinct.

Wheeler, we don't have time to find a restaurant.

The museum is about to activate JASON.

- Who? - JASON.

The remote-controlled robot in the Galapagos Islands.

The reason Gaia sent us here.

- Remember? - Oh, yeah. No sweat.

Hey, they're having a rain delay, right?

I'll be back long before the storm clears.

[thunderclap]

(Greedly) ‘Look out! We're going to run aground!’

-'Uhh!" -'Uhh!"

[chittering]

[tires screeching]

Great. Stuck in the Galapagos Islands.

| hate roughing it. What a dump.

‘No hotels, no restaurants. '

Where are they going?

[grunting]

(Verminous) ‘Probably to ferret out some food.'

Well, they better not eat before we do.

Let's tail those rats.

[tires screeching]

[engine revving]

[squawking]

(Greedly) Out of my way, you blue-footed boobies!

Wait a second.

Where there's birds, there's got to be eggs

so I'm gonna do some poaching.

[laughing]

[snorting]

Cut it out, you bird brain!

Uh, uh.. Aah!

Oof!

Hey, give me that!

[hissing]

[snarling]

Verminous! Quick!

Call off your rats!

Down, boys. Go fetch some more.

Weird-looking eggs, buried in sand.

| wonder if they taste good.

[snorting]

Hey, | bet they're turtle eggs.

| hear those are good eating.

Too bad they're almost extinct.

We better chow down on these

while there's some left to enjoy!

[snorting]

Hello, New York. The weather's cleared

and we're back on the bird.

Whoa! Wait for me!

You guys need help contacting the robot?

Sean took care of it nicely

while you were out looking for a snack.

- Thanks, Linka. - Uh-uh, good work, kid.

[machine beeping]

Welcome to the JASON Project.

Today you'll get to operate JASON, a remote-control robot

‘capable of exploring on land or underwater.’

Sean, show them the satellite link.

Yes, sir, professor!

(male #1) ‘Your commands will be bounced off a satellite in space’

‘and back down to JASON in the Galapagos Islands.’

Through the monitors, you'll hear what JASON hears

see what JASON sees, and control JASON's every move

from thousands of miles away.

Try the camera, Sean.

[gears clanking]

Okay, Sean, you're in the driver's seat.

Through JASON, you'll explore an island

‘untouched by human beings.’

(Sean) ‘Okay. Here we go.'

- 'Awesome!' - 'Wow!'

- 'Cool!' - 'What a beautiful reef!’

(Linka) ‘Are these not the islands where Darwin’

‘came to study evolution?’

(Kwame) ‘Yes. There are no humans here to upset the balance of nature.’

(Ma-Ti) ‘| cannot wait to see the giant tortoises.’

‘| hear they can weigh 500 pounds'

‘and live for a century.’

Then let's try out JASON on land.

[bubbling]

(Wheeler) ‘Look at the size of those babies!’

(Linka) ‘What are those things?’

They do not live on these islands.

(Kwame) "They are stealing the tortoise eggs.'

| smell a rat.

Me, too. Sean, can you zoom in?

(Kwame) ‘'Verminous Skumm.'

‘These giant rodents must be his dirty work.’

They are stealing the eggs of the giant land turtles!

(Gi) ‘And there's Hoggish Greedly'

‘cooking up trouble on the half-shell.'

We have to get to the Galapagos Islands, and fast!

To the Geo-Cruiser.

Wait a minute! The food just got here.

Wheeler, only you would have pizza delivered to a museum.

Here! | got enough for everyone.

How can you think about pizza

with what is happening to those turtles?

| don't know. Turtles, pizza..

Must be something subliminal.

[sighs] Sean, can you get JASON to sneak up on Skumm and Greedly?

We will need his help locating them.

Hey, no problem, Linka.

I'll stay on their tails. Watch for JASON's beacon.

| am glad someone around here is taking this seriously.

Hey, come on, Linka!

[beep]

[whirring]

[clanking]

[chittering]

[sniffing]

Hey. | smell turtle eggs cooking.

Old bacon breath started breakfast without us!

[hissing]

[snarling]

[clanking]

(Sean) ‘Don't be afraid, old girl.’

‘JASON's just here to spy on those two.’

Hey, look!

Guess we'll have to call you Shelley.

‘Get it? Shell-e?'

(Wheeler) ‘| don't see what the big rush is.'

So what if trained rats help Greedly pig out

on a few turtle eggs?

It's not exactly an eco-disaster.

Oh, yes, it is.

‘Animals carelessly brought in can destroy a whole ecosystem. '

Look at Planet-Vision.

‘It's already happened in other islands in the Galapagos. '

‘Pigs and goats were brought in as livestock’

‘and rats came in by accident.’

‘With no natural enemies on this island’

‘these intruders became a plague. '

‘They outcompeted the native animals’

‘and wiped out flightless birds and giant tortoises.’

[grunting]

‘But by using a robot like JASON for exploration’

‘it's possible to avoid'

‘contaminating the other islands.’

Why are the Galapagos Islands so darn delicate?

You think other places are immune?

[chuckles softly] Think again.

‘Poisonous African cane toads were brought to Australia’

‘to control insects. '

‘Now the toads are out of control’

‘endangering other animals.’

‘A century ago, rabbits were brought into New Zealand’

‘and soon there were so many'

‘that they turned large parts of it into desert.’

| get the picture.

We have to stop Greedly and Skumm's mutant rats.

Before the Galapagos tortoise winds up

in that extinct animals exhibit.

Their fate is in your hands, Planeteers.

Linka, you getting JASON's signal?

Da. We are homing in on it.

Have you reached Skumm and Greedly's camp yet?

From all this destruction, I'd say JASON's pretty close to it.

There goes the next generation of tortoises.

Against Skumm's giant rats, they don't stand a chance.

No more pizza, Wheeler?

| think | lost my appetite.

(Sean) ‘Uh-oh! Too bad Greedly hasn't.’

‘He's about to scramble the tortoise population for good!’

[laughs]

[snorts]

Hey, the crew eats last!

Now, get back to work before | snap a trap on you!

[chomp]

Hey!

‘Whoops.'

‘Right in the sewer scum. '

What a waste of good chow.

Too bad it was Skumm's breakfast that fell in.

[laughing]

Watch it, or I'll throw you in!

Out of my face, fur brain.

You greasy pork chop! | ought to..

Forget our squabbles, rat man. We got Planeteer problems. Look!

You know those eco-punks.

They'll try and take away our turtle eggs!

Give me a hand.

By the time they get here..

[grunts] ...we'll have 'em hard-boiled.

Oh, chort!

We will never get there in time.

Then we must send someone ahead.

‘Let our powers combine. '

Earth!

Fire!

Wind!

Water!

Heart!

By your powers combined, | am Captain Planet!

(all) Go, Planet!

Oh, no. Here comes Captain Killjoy.

(Greedly) ‘Get ready to man the cannon!’

[rats hissing]

[snarling]

Linka, you got to stop these rats!

Now they're going after Shelley's nest!

We are on our way, Sean.

[rats snarling]

[engine rumbling]

[dramatic music]

Yikes!

[all exclaiming]

Gee! They looked smaller on video.

It's too bad a couple rotten eggs

can spoil things for all the rest.

Speaking of rotten eggs..

[firing]

[gasps]

What have you done to them?

Same thing we're gonna do to you.

We gave 'em a toxic bath.

[snorts]

Ready, aim, fire!

[groans]

‘The yolk's on you, Planet!’

How does it feel to have egg on your face, Planet?

Somehow we must draw them away from Shelley.

[hissing]

[snarling]

| don't think that will be a problem.

Whoa!

[indistinct chatter]

[dramatic music]

(Verminous) ‘Looks like my watch-rats found some intruders.’

You continue with the "eggs-ecution."

I'll go handle those Pesketeers.

Uh!

[groans]

| know just how you feel.

[grunting]

[slurping]

[snarling]

lf we can make it to the Geo-Cruiser, we have a chance.

[screeching]

- And what if we cannot make it? - Everyone, form a circle.

[rats snarling]

Time for me to make a fast "eggs-it."

Hey, Cap! We could sure use our powers back!

Too late, Planet-twerp.

Greedly's "eggs-terminated" him.

And now it's your turn.

Come on, you rats! Make mice-meat out of 'em!

JASON is Captain Planet's only hope.

[clanking]

[splashing]

Ohh.

Uhh!

Huh?! Oh!

‘For a second, | could have sworn you were a..'

Oh! In cartoons, toxic waste turns you into a superhero.

[groans] Too bad real life's not like that.

Maybe JASON can pull you to the water and wash it off.

[clanking]

Uh. Oh.

Good try, but we need more horsepower..

...or maybe turtle-power.

Hey, how ‘bout a lift, old girl, huh?

[clanking]

[snarling]

Hyah!

Aah!

Aah! Aah!

Bozhe moi!

Hey, dudes, pizza man's here.

Pizza? Again?

Have you lost your mind?

| got a pepperoni here.

And who wants anchovy?

Very clever, Wheeler.

[chomping]

Oh, no! Eating normal food

reverses the sewer scum's effect.

Mwah!

There may be hope for you yet, Wheeler.

- Oh, yeah? - | said hope, not fantasy.

Your pizza ruined my rats!

Now I'll take a slice out of you!

[groaning]

Quit hogging all the action, Skumm!

Let me get a clear shot at 'em.

[beeping]

We must keep JASON level.

[clanking]

[grunting]

[whirring]

Ah! Ooh!

Nothing like a dip in the ocean.

Thanks, Shelley. You're a real hero on the half shell.

Don't worry. We'll get your eggs back.

Make that big rat pay, Planeteers.

The power is yours.

[whimsical music]

It sure is.

Water!

Yaah!

[both groan]

(Wheeler) A shift in the balance of power.

You are so right.

Wind!

Whoa!

Do svidaniya, Skumm!

Aah!

Oof!

[spitting]

Hey! Wait for me!

[engine revving]

They're getting away with the eggs!

- We will never find them. - Yes, we will, Ma-Ti.

We have a homing device.

[engine revving]

Yes! Good work, Sean.

All you guys are real Planeteers.

JASON's signal is weak.

"They must be inside that volcano.'

We've got to hurry.

If those tortoise eggs are out of the sand too long

they'll die.

(Ma-Ti) | have a sinking feeling

that Skumm and Greedly doubled back on us.

They're so right.

They should never have tried to outfox this rat.

If it's eggs they like, these will "in-toxic-ate" 'em.

Hee-hee-hee-hee!

[clanking]

Bombs away!

Hey, what the..

Oof! Hey, | feel..

'...Strange.'

Raah!

Now I'm really mad!

Uh-oh. The only thing more dangerous than Greedly

is a mutant Greedly!

| agree, so let our powers combine.

Earth!

Fire!

Wind!

Stop that!

- Water! - Heart!

[whimsical music]

(Greedly) ‘Not again!’

By your powers combined

| am Captain Planet!

(all) Go, Planet!

Hey, pick on someone your own size, Greedly.

You're starting to bug me, Planet.

I'll swat you like a fly.

Hold on, Planetee.. Oh!

Whoa!

Let's try that again.

Uh! Sit back and relax, Greedly.

‘I've got you booked into a nice, remote vacation spot’

‘with no ecosystem to disturb.’

Hey!

An all-expenses-paid trip for two.

- Let me go! - Put me down!

Look! Shelley's eggs are hatching!

Heart!

‘And to make sure they are safe’

we will remove these rats to an environment where they belong.

Just as long as it's not in Brooklyn.

| wonder how Greedly and Skumm are doing

where Captain Planet left them.

Hey, come on, Greedly. Take it easy.

Sewer scum wears off if you eat something.

What do you think I'm trying to do?

[groans] Aah!

- 'Raahl!' - Ohh!

- 'Raahl!' - Aah!

- Raah! - Aah!

(Planeteers) Go, Planet!

(Gaia) Habitats, the homes of plants and animals

evolve over thousands of years.

(Linka) But if new species are brought in

a habitat can be destroyed practically overnight.

(Ma-Ti) A small addition can change the balance of nature forever.

(Wheeler) So when you go on a trip, be sure not to carry

any plants or animals that might mess up a habitat.

(Captain Planet) You can protect the diversity of life

which gives our world its beauty.

The power is yours!
