Original subtitles

(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.

[sirens wailing]

From North America, Wheeler

with the power of fire.

[tires screeching]

[instrumental music]

From Eastern Europe

Linka with the power of wind.

From Asia, Gi

with the power of water.

[music continues]

And from South America

Ma-Ti with the power of heart.

When the five powers combine

they summon Earth's greatest champion

"Captain Planet!"

(all) ‘Go, Planet!’

(Captain Planet) The power is yours!

[instrumental music]

[bell dinging]

[bottles clamoring]

(Wheeler) Boy, | could get used to this vacation stuff.

No hassles, no problems just fun.

[chuckles] You are right about that, Wheeler.

Hey, where are the girls?

He's a definite 10 on anybody's Hunk-O-Meter.

Da! He's cute.

[bell dinging]

Uh, so, Linka, uh, you want me to win you a stuffed animal?

[chuckles] You are welcome to try, Wheeler.

Somehow | don't think those target animals

are in any danger.

Watch this, babe.

Or should | say babe-bushka?

Oh, bozhe moi.

[gun cocking]

[gun popping]

[all laughing]

Must be defective.

[gun poppi Huh? ping]

[metal plunking]

- Wow! - My goodness!

Maybe you should wait for that rifle, Wheeler.

He's incredible!

[gun popping] Whoa!

Where did you learn to shoot like that?

You're incredible.

Your shooting, | mean.

[laughing] Thanks.

| get a lot of practice hunting big game.

Name's Trevor.

Hi. I'm Gi.

- 'And | am leaving.’ - Linka!

| am sorry, but | do not like hunting.

It is one thing to shoot targets

but it is quite different to kill animals for sport.

Hey! Hold on! Let me explain.

(Gi) "You're saying that hunting’

‘can actually protect endangered species?’

Right.

‘See, lots of hunting concessions’

‘act as buffers around national parks.’

They protect the animals from illegal poaching.

Now, there are hunters who give hunting a bad name.

That's why real hunters are against them.

On a real hunt, you don't always bag something

like my last hunt in Africa.

[instrumental music]

(Trevor) We stalked a herd of water buffalo.

See, you don't shoot just any animal.

We spent days searching for a trophy animal

but at the last second, it caught out scent and got away.

Sometimes you win. Sometimes you lose.

What | enjoy is the challenge of the hunt.

That is it! | cannot stay silent!

| do not believe one should be challenged

by killing animals for sport.

It is disgusting!

Most hunters are responsible.

Responsible for the slaughter of helpless animals!

Linka, | said the challenge of the hunt, not the kill.

Besides, we cull herds that might otherwise starve to death.

If people would not upset the natural habitats

in the first place, there would be

no need to cull herds!

Why don't you and your mates come with me

to watch a hunt so you can see for yourselves?

| think that--

Nothing will change my mind about hunting!

That's what | thought.

Ahh! Are we still having fun?

- Thanks, Wheeler. - Thank you.

Huh?

| hope you do have a fun vacation, mates. See ya.

Goodbye, Mr. Animal Killer.

- Uh...lamb, | believe. - Uh...

(Kwame) Linka, do not forget

that nature works by checks and balances.

Regulated hunting can play a useful role in this system.

[speaking in Russian] Very well.

Some hunting may be necessary.

| will go along and see a hunt for myself before | judge.

- Great! I'll tell Trevor. - Oh, no.

If we go with him

we will only see what he wants us to see.

We will find out where he is going and follow him.

This vacation's turning into a laugh riot.

[instrumental music]

[indistinct chatter]

Ah, the big game hunter is boarding a hovercraft.

[boat engine revving]

(Gi) ‘| think our ride is here. '

Hey, Kwame, what is that?

That is the best | could do at the last minute.

It is our boat.

That's not a boat.

That's a boat.

Does it come with a paddle?

This sail should help. Maybe.

[instrumental music]

[water splashes]

(Trevor) ‘So, mate, you're a hunter, are ya?’

No. Never hunted. I'm a lawyer.

That's why | came on this hunt.

They guarantee that I'll get a trophy.

Can't beat that.

Right. And I've never even fired a gun.

You don't say.

Any of you hunted before?

Interesting. You all expect to bag trophies. Guaranteed?

[indistinct talking]

Welcome to Hunter's Paradise.

Trophy guaranteed or your money back.

You brought your own rifle?

Yeah, mate. Figured I'd buy my own gear.

You've hunted before?

Once or twice.

(Gi) ‘Careful. There could be wild animals. '

‘This is a hunting concession. '

We're on an island off the coast of Australia.

What are we going to run into? Kick-boxing kangaroos?

Watch out for hunters.

They are the most dangerous thing on this--

Aah!

Linka!

[all gasp]

Linka, are you alright?

[bear growling]

[intense music]

[bear growling]

[snorting]

(Greedly) Wonder if they caught that bear yet.

I'll be hogtied!

Planet-twerps! How do they always..

- Rigger! - Yeah, boss, yeah. What's up?

Tell Otto to get our gear.

We're going hunting.

[laughing]

But what are we gonna hunt, Boss?

Huh? Hey, boss. Those are..

Bait for bagging my ultimate trophy. Captain Planet.

[laughing]

[bear growling]

Watch out, Linka! I'll Keep it back!

Wheeler, wait!

Heart!

The bear is tame. She was raised by people.

She escaped from someone who was hunting her.

[laughi Oh! nel

Step back, Linka. | will make a ramp.

Earth!

[Zapping]

(Wheeler) ‘Good work, Kwame!’

Why is there a tame bear on this island?

Something is very wrong here.

Ma-Ti! Stop her!

| cannot. She's going to her...babies?

She has cubs?

Come on. We must follow her!

(Greedly) ‘Got the trap set, Otto?’

All set, Mr. Greedly.

But what makes you think they'll come through here?

That mamma bear's gonna head straight for her cubs.

And those soft-headed enviro-varmints

will be right behind her.

[laughing]

When they get here, you bag the bear

and we bag the brats.

[laughing]

[bear calling]

And if we get lucky, we'll get the big trophy.

Captain Planet!

[laughing]

[gunshot]

[bear growling]

[gunshot] Oh, no!

We are too late!

Wait! Look!

(Kwame) ‘It is a tranquilizer dart.’

[bear groaning]

Well, whoever did this will not get away!

(Greedly) ‘Don't have to, eco-urchins!'

[laughing]

Hoggish Greedly! But where is he?

Let's get out of here!

You can run, but you can't save your hides!

[laughing]

Hurry! We must go back!

Give me the controller, Rigger.

Here, Boss, here.

Now, to pick off the eco-interlopers.

[snorting]

One little piggy..

- Aah! - Wheeler!

Two little, three little, four little piggies.

And this little piggy went..

[squealing]

- 'All the way down.’ - Aah!

It worked, Boss, it worked!

The show's just starting, Rigger.

Just need to hear one more thing.

Let our powers combine.

Ahh...music to my ears.

- Earth! - Fire!

- Wind! - Water!

Heart!

[Zapping]

By your powers combined

| am Captain Planet!

(Planeteers) ‘Go, Planet!’

Well, this is the pits.

It's almost too easy.

Captain Planet, watch out!

[gunshots]

Oh!

In the back, Greedly?

That's not very sporting.

Looks like you could use some practice, Greedly.

Come on. Take your best shot.

[muffled screaming]

Well, if this is the best you can do

| think you should take up a new game, Greedly.

| love it.

He doesn't know I'm playing with him.

Oh, Planthead!

This ought to make you see double!

Ugh!

(Linka) Oh, no! Captain!

At last, my trophy of a lifetime!

Oh! Toxic..

| can't...

Shoot me, Rigger.

The camera, you mush-head!

Oh. Right, Boss, right.

Smile, Boss, smile.

[laughing]

[camera shutter clicks]

Good work, Otto.

[snorting]

[camera shutter clicking] Yeah!

Rigger, tell the guys to take care of my prize trophy.

[laughing]

Sure, Boss, sure. Yep, yep!

[intense music]

(Otto) ‘Keep moving.'

Lock them up, and be quick about it.

We got a hunting expedition coming.

(Rigger) ‘Big sucker, ain't he?’

Why don't you get him in the run?

Hunters are in position.

Hey, ain't that dangerous?

No. He's hamstrung.

(Rigger) ‘He's what?’

Hamstrung.

We slice them across the back of the leg.

It slows them down.

[rhino grunting] Looks like he needs

a little motivation.

[electricity crackling]

Watch out! We spotted a rhino!

‘Don't make any sudden moves!’

[intense music]

[gunshots]

[bear cub crying]

(Linka) ‘Oh, you poor thing.’

| cannot stand it. Oh!

Is this Trevor's idea of a challenging hunt?

If | ever get my hands on Greedly--

(Greedly) ‘Not a chance, planet-punk!'

This time, you're playing my game.

[laughing]

| call it "hunt for the eco-geeks."

No bag limit.

And my coup de grease, behold your hero!

[laughing]

[planeteers gasping]

[groaning]

(Ma-Ti) ‘Captain Planet!’

Boss, next bunch of hunters coming.

Well, don't just stand there!

Get the Leopard out!

Sure, Boss, sure.

A planet-pest hunt.

This will be the most dangerous game

you've ever played.

[intense music]

Elsa, cut it out!

Look sharp, everybody.

Our beaters spotted a vicious black leopard heading this way.

Careful with that thing.

Alright, your perches are ready.

Let's get into the trees.

- Perches? - Yeah.

We don't want nobody hurt.

Uh, right.

- Problem? - I'm not sure.

But | think he might be a real hunter.

Keep an eye on him.

Get him out of here right after the hunt.

[instrumental music]

What is this?

(Greedly) ‘Get ready!’

"That Leopard may show up any second!’

‘| said, the vicious leopard’

‘may come rampaging through here any second now!’

That's our cue!

Go! Go on! Scat!

[grunting]

(Linka) ‘Look at the monitor. | told you he was a killer!’

| cannot believe it. He seemed so sincere.

If we could just get our powers back..

Captain Planet, wake up!

[groaning]

She ain't moving.

I'll move her.

[leopard growling]

There it is!

[intense music]

[gunshots] This isn't a hunt.

It's a massacre.

[Greedly laughing]

‘Alright! Line up!’

[camera shutter clicking] Next!

[camera shutter clicking]

[vehicle approaching]

That hunt really gave me an appetite.

Come on, everybody. Lunchtime!

No claws.

No fangs.

This is a canned hunt.

Too bad you read the label, sport.

What's he mean, canned hunt?

You know, we buy old animals from zoos

or get young animals and raise them so they're tame

they're gentle.

Then we let people shoot them like sardines in a can.

That's how they got the name.

You're too nosy for your own good. Yep, yep!

[grunting]

Hey.

[Greedly belching]

Can't wait to see Blight and Plunder's faces

when | tell them | finished off those eco-eggheads.

- Trouble, Boss! Trouble! - What now?

That hunter, the real one, he's gone.

What? You nincompoops!

Tell the men they better find him!

Now!

Right, Mr. Greedly.

As for you, | ought to put you in a cage!

Sorry, Boss, sorry.

But we've got another hunt.

Get the mother bear ready hear me?

And don't let her get away this time!

But, Boss, she keeps trying to go back to her cubs.

That's why we're gonna use the cubs for bait!

Now, listen..

This time, old mamma bear

is gonna run right where we want her to.

Right to the babies. Then, pow!

Yep, yep! Pow!

[laughing]

What monsters!

This is a nightmare!

[intense music]

Careful, now.

Our beaters have spotted

a ferocious bear.

Get ready.

Mamma will be along soon.

[laughing]

[gasping] Trevor!

You lot? What are you doing here?

Well, the great leopard killer himself.

Not me. | unloaded my gun.

| told you, this isn't my kind of hunting.

Please, get us out of here.

Right, mate.

[grunting]

You did not know about Greedly's hunts?

Not much chance I'd be helping you out if | did, eh?

[grunting]

Captain Planet!

[intense music]

[grunting]

[gasping] We will take care of him.

Hurry! We must save the mother bear!

Well, go on, go get your babies.

[cubs crying] That's it. Make lots of noise for mamma.

You bully!

The mother bear!

[water gushing]

[shivering]

Ahh, thanks, Planeteers.

That was rough, but I'm still strong enough

to take on that pig Greedly.

Get ready.

Shoot when you see the whites of her eyes.

No! Do not shoot!

She will be killed!

- What? - Hey, what's going on?

Don't shoot! She's a tame bear!

What are those kids doing here?

This wasn't part of our agreement.

They're just stupid eco-geeks. Shoot the bear!

Your sorry safari's over, Greedly!

Huh? But you're..

You've run your last can hunt

and killed your last animal.

Not quite, Captain Kill-Joy.

I'm taking you out.

Think again, mate.

[gunshot] Aah!

Gotcha!

Come on, Rigger!

How would you like to go on a wild boar hunt, friend?

A pleasure, mate.

We lost them, Boss! We lost them!

Shh. Come. Follow me.

[upbeat music]

[muffled screaming]

| thought | told you..

Rigger. Rigger!

[muffled screaming]

We're getting close!

[whimpering]

(Trevor) ‘Must be around here somewhere.’

[panting]

Ugh! Aah!

Aah!

(Trevor) ‘Uh-oh. | think | lost him.'

[panting]

(Captain Planet) ‘| wonder where he could be.'

Aah!

[snorting]

S-S-Stop! | can't...t-take it anymore!

Now you know how those poor animals feel, Greedly. Let's go!

Lucky for you this isn't

a canned hunt, eh, mate?

Just the way | like you, Greedly. In captivity.

| think they look pretty happy, don't you, mates?

Very happy. And we couldn't have done it without you.

Nyet. We could not.

| am sorry | misjudged you, Trevor.

| guess it is not hunting that is bad

just some of the hunters.

| still do not like it, but | will never forget you.

- Me, neither. - Swell.

Now let's get back to the ship and get this party rolling.

Good idea, mate.

Ladies?

Hey! What about me?

This is definitely not what | had in mind, mates.

(Planeteers) ‘Go, Planet!’

We're all responsible for the welfare of animals.

Each year, many animals come to your local animal shelter.

But if homes cannot be found for them, they're put to sleep.

You can help.

If you want a pet

adopt from your local animal shelter.

And if you own a pet, have it spayed or neutered

so cute little guys like this won't end up at the shelter.

Take care of your pets

and they'll give you lots of love in return.

The power is yours!

Earth!

Fire!

Wind!

- Water! - Heart!

(all) Go, Planet!

By your powers combined, | am Captain Planet!
