(male narrator) Our world is in peril.

Gaia, the spirit of 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.

[tires screeching]

[instrumental music]

From Eastern Europe

Linka with the power of wind.

[music continues]

From Asia, Gi

with the power of water.

[music continues]

[water splashing]

And from South America

Ma-Ti with the power of heart.

When the five powers combine

they summon Earth's greatest champion

Captain Planet.

[theme music]

The power is yours!

[intense music]

[helicopter blades whirring]

[Zapping]

[barking]

[whimpering]

[helicopter blades whirring]

[Zapping]

[whimpering]

[whimpering]

[barking]

[Zapping]

So you like my new heat-seeking

laser rifles, eh, boys?

With these babies, you almost can't miss.

(Linka) Let us see what these samples can tell us.

(Kwame) ‘What have you found?’

[speaking in foreign language]

There are traces of acid rain

all the way up here.

Bummer. Now can we split this Popsicle stand?

I'm freezin'. Hey, watch it!

[twinkling]

Eco-alert.

Get moving, Planeteers, while | explain.

(Wheeler) Wherever we're goin’, | hope it's warm.

[panting]

(male #1) "Those wolves sure make great target practice.’

[Zapping]

[helicopter blades whirring]

Blast! It's those planet punks.

Oh, those stupid animal lovers are ruinin’ our fun!

Oh, yeah?

Watch this.

(Gi) ‘We're hit!’

(Blight) ‘Well, thanks for’

‘dropping by, kids.’

[Blight laughs]

[sighs]

[screaming]

[helicopter blades whirring]

[intense music]

[screaming]

| don't know how long this ledge will hold.

Then let's blow.

Precisely.

Wind!

Whoa!

Gotta watch what | say around her.

[grunting]

Nice work, Linka.

Da. Only, without the Eco-Copter

we cannot stop Dr. Blight.

Oh, yes, we can.

Let our powers combine!

- Earth! - Fire!

- Wind! - Water!

Heart!

[Zapping]

By your powers combined

| am Captain Planet!

Stay cool, Planeteers!

I'll be right back.

[animal whimpering]

What was that?

It came from over there.

It's a wolf pup.

I'm afraid he lost his mother

to those horrible hunters.

(Linka) 'He is too young to survive on his own.’

We must take him with us.

What? Are you nuts? That's a wild animal.

He could chew your hand off!

[laughs]

More like lick it off.

Well, anyway, Gaia is gonna pitch a fit

when we show up with another homeless animal.

Do not worry, Wheeler.

We will protect you.

[laughing]

[Zapping]

[people screaming]

[helicopter blades whirring]

Target practice is over, hot shots.

- What the.. - It's that superzero.

Captain Planet.

Hit it!

[Zapping]

[helicopter blades whirring]

So much for the friendly skies.

[instrumental music]

[helicopter blades whirring]

This is your Captain speakin’.

[helicopter blades whirring]

[exhaling]

Well, there seems to be a little ice forming

on the wings, uh, or blades.

[blowing air]

[dramatic music]

Fasten your seatbelts.

We're experiencing mild turbulence.

(all) ‘Whoa!’

Please remain seated until the aircraft

comes to a complete stop.

Hope you enjoyed the flight.

Be sure and check your weapons at the door.

Hey, those are mine!

Oh, don't worry, Doc.

You can have 'em back.

After all, you need them

to shoot you back to town.

[wolf howling]

[laughs] Well, I've gotta ski-daddle.

But thank you for flying Air Planet.

You know, the Eco-Copter

has never flown so smoothly

‘or economically.'

[instrumental music]

Thanks for the lift, Captain Planet.

Hey, Planeteers, always happy

to help a carpool in distress.

The power is yours!

[instrumental music]

[whooshing]

| love animals as much

as the next planetary archetype.

But this is the third homeless

animal you've brought back this week.

And, frankly, it's weighing

kind of heavy on me.

Ha. | told you so, Linka.

On the other hand, Wheeler

if people gave a little more thought

‘to the creatures they share the planet with’

‘we wouldn't be in this predicament.’

Mm-hmm. See, Wheeler?

| was right.

It's not an issue of who's right.

What's important is these animals are healthy now.

And it's time to take them home.

Da, Gaia, you are right.

We will take them back.

[whooshing]

[bird squawking]

Forget tryin’ to bag a few Zs around here.

Throw another cracker on the barbie.

[squawks] Hello, mate!

How'd you like me to throw you on the barbie?

Wheeler!

Hey, it was a joke.

| just don't see why everybody's

makin’ such a big deal

over a few smelly animals.

[growling]

Welcome home, Mr. Parrot.

This is terrible.

They are destroying the forest.

What do you mean?

[screeching]

Look out!

- Get out of the way! - Get out of the way!

Earth!

[rumbling]

[thuds]

Quick thinkin’, Kwame.

We cannot possibly leave this bird in such danger.

(Gi) ‘Linka's right. Let's get out of here.’

(male #2) ‘Please, young ones.’

Wait. | need your help.

(Wheeler) ‘Hey, look! A baby kangaroo.’

No, it is a wallaby.

Wannabe what?

No, Wheeler, a wallaby.

What happened to him?

He was injured trying

to escape the destruction here.

To the Aborigine

the wallaby is very special.

But there are only some 30

of this kind left in the wild.

And now he has lost his home.

Please, help him.

We will do our best.

Hey, hold on.

The object is to unload animals

not collect more.

We are taking him.

Come on, Planeteers. Let's go!

Wait. Where is Kwame?

Right here. | found a graceful sunray.

You're bringing a-a weed?

It is an endangered species, too.

And they were going to plow it under.

What's next? Endangered rocks?

[instrumental music]

(Wheeler) ‘Hey, what's with Suchi?'

[Suchi chattering]

[laughs] | do not think he likes snakes.

[Suchi chattering]

Hey! Get this monkey off my back.

Come, Suchi.

You do not want to monkey around

with this grump-ateer.

[sneezes]

What's going on?

[sneezing]

Oh, Wheeler.

It looks like you are allergic

to wallabies.

[sneezes]

Oh, that's just great.

[instrumental music]

| can't believe we're finally gonna ditch

one of these critters.

[pig snorting]

Oh, no!

More smugglers!

Yo! Take it easy, man.

We're not smugglers.

We're returning this snake to the wild, not stealing it.

Oh, | am sorry.

| have just saved my baby

pygmy hog from smugglers.

They're stealing endangered animals.

‘| have heard they sell them to collectors'

‘for great sums of money.’

Bohze moi!

Everywhere we go!

Can you lead us to these smugglers?

Hm. | guess so.

Follow me.

[intense music]

There.

(male #3) ‘Hey, we oughta clean up on this haul.’

(male #4) ‘In a pig's eye!’

You swine will have to do better than this

if you wanna be paid.

Hoggish Greedly.

Look at this puny thing.

[growling]

And the ivory on this tub's

barely worth the trouble.

We must wait until they fall asleep.

[Snoring]

[intense music]

[growling]

Heart!

What are you doing?

Letting the animals know we are friends.

Shh! Quiet!

[sneezes]

(Wheeler) ‘Hey, we may be friends. '

But we're not adopting any more ani..

[screaming]

[laughs]

[Hoggish laughs]

Well, well, what did we bag this time?

Planet pukes.

Your hides should bring big bucks

on the eco-villain market.

What if we muddy up his plan a bit, Gi?

- Water! - Earth!

[twinkling]

[water splashing]

[all shouting]

Hey!

I'll cook. Then we book.

Fire!

- Whoa! - Geronimo!

[instrumental music]

Get them, you piggin' brains.

Fire!

Hurry! We cannot leave these baby animals on their own.

Surprise.

[snorting]

| hate those planet twerps.

[instrumental music]

[grunts]

[giggles]

Oh, she is so cute.

Too bad Greedly gives

pigs such a bad name.

We are grateful to you, Ashuk.

Then, please, take Chandra with you.

It is not safe for her here.

Why not? The more the merrier.

[instrumental music]

[roaring]

[sneezes]

This is totally bogus.

[growls]

Will somebody get this

stupid wolf a chew stick?

Yo, did anybody here..

Yuck! Gross!

Gi, take over, would ya?

[laughs] Being kissed

by a real tiger too much for you, Wheeler?

Very funny.

splat

But this isn't funny!

Ah, elephant dung will

make excellent fertilizer

for our plant.

| will clean that up for you.

[growling]

Aw, man. Give me a break.

It looks like you have a friend for life.

He follows you everywhere.

Kinda like you, Linka.

Hey, how about plantin' one?

Ouch! Why, you..

‘Hey, where's my shoe?’

‘Hey, you little runt!’

‘Now give me back my shoe!’

[whooshing]

[instrumental music]

Well, you're almost home, little babushka.

[seals yelping]

- Seals! - Heart!

Something is very wrong.

(Linka) These poor animals!

(Gi) ‘Over here!’

These beluga whales have beached themselves.

They're very sick.

(Ma-Ti) ‘The water looks contaminated. '

[machine whirring]

The river is filled with toxic waste.

(Wheeler) Yeah, and | bet those factories

‘have somethin’ to do with it.'

[intense music]

Be a good boy. We will be back soon.

So keep our teeth to yourself.

[whimpering]

[clicks]

[screeching]

(Linka) Who could do this?

(Ma-Ti) Plunder.

It figures he would own this filth factory.

We've gotta nail Plunder for this illegal dumping.

(Gi) "This way.’

[intense music]

[panting]

[whimpers]

(Bleak) ‘Dumpin'’ all this junk in the river's illegal’

‘ain't it, boss?’

Depends on what you mean by illegal.

The way | see it, if | don't get caught

it's not illegal.

Don't people drink outta this river?

Millions.

But | don't look at it as

making people sick, Bleak.

| see it as..

... subsidizing hospitals.

And once the river is shot, everyone will be

forced to buy my designer bottled water.

It's "Pure Plunder," boss!

Hey, time to increase the foul flow.

[intense music]

Hurry. Let's see what we can find.

There's gotta be somethin’ here to bust Plunder with.

(Plunder) ‘Uh, just a moment, Bleak.’

| forgot my production schedules.

Well, if it isn't the eco-brats.

Bleak, this is what | pay you for.

Right, Mr. Plunder.

[gas hissing]

[all coughing]

[Snoring]

Bleak, | think Sleeping Beauty here

needs a wake-up call.

You mean wake-up fall!

What the..

[grunts] Uh, yes, sir, Mr. Plunder.

Please show our guests

their luxurious accommodations.

What is this place?

You wanted evidence?

When this drum fills up with chemical waste

you'll have all you need.

[laughing]

[groans] Break time.

[Snoring]

[pup growling]

(Gi) ‘It's the wolf pup.’

[whimpers]

| told you he likes you, Wheeler.

Probably your animal magnetism.

Well, | never thought I'd be glad to see you.

But since you're here, do your thing on my ropes

munch mouth.

[growling]

Good boy.

This chemical bath will clean those

planet pains clear to the bone.

[liquid sloshing]

They are releasing the toxics.

- Faster, pup! - Come on, wolfie!

[growls]

(Wheeler) ‘Fire!’

Hey! What's goin’ on?

(Linka) 'Wind!"

[instrumental music]

Hey! Stop!

[coughing] Whoa!

It is time for teamwork.

Let our powers combine.

- Earth! - Fire!

- Wind! - Water!

Heart!

[instrumental music]

By your powers combined

| am Captain Planet!

You better hightail it, Planeteers

while | take out the trash.

[dramatic music]

[blowing]

[screaming]

Just call me an old blow-hard.

Hurry. We've got to dump the whole load.

Time's up, Plunder.

Your poisonous plan is a wash-out.

Guess again, Planet.

Say "good-bye" to the river.

Not yet. Ugh! Whoops.

[laughs] Missed the door again.

[intense music]

[grunts]

This is not my idea of a good time.

Now, | need a backup plan for the backup.

[wind blowing]

Well, if it isn't Mr. Mean and Mr. Clean.

[groans]

Eco-villains in a drum.

I'd love to stay and chat

but, uh, I've got a whale

of a problem to solve.

(Plunder) Hey! Hey, don't rock this thing.

(Wheeler) ‘It's hard to believe anyone could hurt’

‘these adorable guys.’

Da, Wheeler.

But are you not taking things

a little too far?

[sneezes]

Hey, | just wanna make sure

they're comfortable.

| mean, animals have rights, too, you know.

[laughs] Welcome to Wheeler's Ark.

[sneezes]

Here, Wheeler.

Try this mixture | made with

Kwame's graceful sunray plant.

It may help your sneezing.

[sneezes]

| don't know.

Yuck!

Hey, that's incredible.

Time to check on the rest of the flock.

[water gurgling]

Nice goin’, Wheeler!

All's whale that ends whale.

[laughs]

[water splashing]

Better get ready for a tall tale, Gaia.

Planeteers, do we have

a communication problem?

It is along story, Gaia.

But we can try to give them back again.

No. Please.

No, no, no.

I'll handle it this time.

Does that mean | have to give up my best bud here?

I'm afraid so, Wheeler.

[sighs] | understand.

Well, how about one for the road, little guy?

[growling]

(all) ‘Go, Planet!’

As people take up more land for their own use

‘less is left for plants and animals.’

Every day, over 100 species

become extinct.

You can help stop this loss.

Don't buy exotic animals taken from the wild.

That way, poachers will have no reason to capture them.

And urge your parents and friends to support laws

like the U.S. Endangered Species Act

that protect our natural treasures.

(all) The power is yours!
