(Captain Planet) 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.

[theme music]

From Eastern Europe, Linka, with the power of wind.

From Asia, Gi, with the power of water.

splash

And from South America, Ma-Ti, with the power of heart.

When the five powers combine

they summon earth's greatest champion

Captain Planet!

The power is yours!

[instrumental music]

(Linka) ‘Happy natal day, Wheeler.’

Wheeler! Happy birthday!

You know what I'm gonna wish for.

‘Don't you, babe?’

Be careful what you wish for, Wheeler.

You may get it.

Oh! You blowed hard.

[laughing and clapping]

Aah! You guys are too much.

I've been so stoked about this

Coney Island bash

| haven't slept for a week.

[yawns] | had some wild times there.

- Here you go, Wheeler. - For me?

Oh, you shouldn't have.

Yeah, you should.

Gaia! Hey, glad you could join the party.

Happy birthday, Wheeler.

But I'm afraid I'm not here to celebrate.

- We have an eco emergency. - What is it, Gaia?

Devastating mud slides in South America.

‘The rains aren't letting up.'

And thousands of people are in jeopardy.

[screaming]

They need your help, Planeteers.

- 'We're on our way.’ - Bummer!

| guess my wish will have to wait.

[rain spattering]

[thunderclaps]

[intense music]

(Wheeler) ‘Man, look at all those shacks.'

The vegetation has been stripped away around them.

That means there's nothing to keep the earth from sliding.

Look!

- 'Oh, my gosh.' - 'Oh, my goodness. '

Gi, we must get down there and help.

swoosh

- Come on! - Move it, move it.

Planeteers, wait.

Heart!

What is it, Ma-Ti?

A girl, trapped.

The mud will bury her.

- Where is she? - Over there.

[grunting]

Hurry, Wheeler!

Right behind you.

[cries] Help me!

- Fire! - Wind!

[grunting]

Quickly, come with us, this way.

Mud slide!

"Take her up, Gi.’

[screaming]

Oh, this is awful.

We can't help all those people.

There is one way.

Let our powers combine. Earth!

Fire!

- Wind! - Water!

Heart!

[thuderclap]

By your powers combined

| am Captain Planet!

| better do something fast

or my name will be mud.

[clamoring]

whoosh

(Captain Planet) Ugh! Eww! Dirty work.

Maybe | should've worn a trench coat.

- Help them. - Let's help them.

[crying]

It is alright. You will be safe over there.

Let me help.

[dog whimpering]

Hey, easy, little fellow.

Miguelito! Miguelito!

[crying]

Son, where are you?

[crying]

‘Miguelito!'

Changing time.

[crying]

Gracias. Muchas gracias.

De nada. El gusto es mio.

Now, | better put a cap on this shower.

[thunderclaps]

That's my big blue bud.

Alright, clouds, break it up. Break it up!

[cheering and applause]

Tada!

[cheering]

Thank you, Captain Planet.

No problemo.

By the way, Wheeler

happy birthday.

May all your dreams come true.

Remember, the power is yours!

[yawns]

Thanks, Captain.

Come on, let's help clean up this mess.

[indistinct chatter]

| can't believe people wanna live this way.

Stacked, right on top of each other.

Just waiting to be washed away by another hard rain.

It is not that simple, Wheeler.

This is a major city.

People come here from all over the country.

(Ma-Ti) "They hope for jobs and a better life.’

But with so many people, it is hard to make a living.

They have no choice but to live in shacks.

[grunts] Supporting a family can be very difficult.

[sighs] Good thing | don't have to worry about that.

(Linka) ‘lam sorry, Wheeler.’

We will not make it to Coney Island

before your birthday is over.

Yeah, | guess this birthday is a wash out.

Maybe not, there is a new environmental

‘theme park not far from here. '

Oh, that'll be so much fun. Let's go.

What do you say, Wheeler?

If | can't have a Coney Island dog

an eco dog's the next best thing.

[instrumental music]

Okay, Wheeler, where would you like to start?

Let's try the eco-coaster.

[yawns]

Come on.

[revving]

Um, what is happening?

Relax, babe.

It's a virtual reality ride.

It'll be fun.

[gasps]

[screams]

- Oh, look. That is so magical. - Incredible.

- | can't believe it.

[laughing]

(Linka) You were right, Wheeler.

That was really fun.

Ugh, right, great.

Oh, your birthday is turning out to be an explosion!

Uh, that's blast, Linka.

[instrumental music]

[screams]

[lions roar]

Did you see that?

That was amazing.

This place looks almost as crowded as that hillside.

| still can't believe people live like that.

|! am sure they would live like kings if they could.

Uh-oh!

Oh, goody-ness! Another hill.

[all screaming]

(Wheeler) ‘Aah! Home sweet home. '

[coughs]

Ew! More like home stink home.

(Wheeler) Just don't get why people bring kids

into the world when they can't provide for them.

What? Only the rich have a right to have children?

- No, but-- - Look! A loopey-loop!

Swell!

[screaming]

[retching]

You okay, Wheeler?

We're ready for the next ride.

It's not a roller coaster, is it?

[laughs] No, it is about population.

It will be informative.

Ugh! That means boring.

[yawns]

Wow! I'd rather go on that.

Hey, Linka, ready for a cruise

through the tunnel of love with your main man?

You do this, | will do that.

Yes! Come on, what are we waiting for?

(male narrator) ‘Although population numbers’

‘in less developed nations maybe greater.’

‘A child in a developed country’

‘uses up to 30 times more resources'

‘than a child in a less developed nation.’

(MA-Ti) "That is amazing.'

(Linka) ‘It seems unfair.’

[indistinct chatter]

That's a lot to think about.

Population versus consumption. It is tricky.

What do you think, yankee?

Wheeler!

Huh?

W-what's it? Oh.

Wake up, sleeping head.

Your birthday is not the day to catch up on lost sleep.

Oh, yeah.

Well, | Know I'll stay awake for the next ride.

[instrumental music]

You sure you guys do not want to join us?

No thanks, Linka.

(Wheeler) See you later.

[screams]

[Linka screams]

Easy, babe. You're in good hands.

[light crackling]

Huh? W-what's that?

‘Hey, Linkal!’

Check it out!

[Mendelssohn's Wedding March]

Someone's getting married.

Linka? H-hey what's going on?

‘Linka?'

[gasps] Linka?

Bozhe moi!

What the--

[grunts]

Huh?

- Come on! Hurry up! - What are you waiting for?

You don't wanna be late for your own wedding, Wheeler.

Now, let's not keep the blushing bride waiting.

- You know what | mean? - W-w-w-wedding?

B-b-bride?

Thanks for asking me to be your best man.

Yeah, right.

[Mendelssohn's Wedding March]

Good luck, kids.

You'll need it.

Wheeler, do you take Linka to be your wife?

You need time to think, Wheeler?

| do! | do!

Good.

Then by the power vested in me

as the spirit of Earth

| now pronounce you..

[Gaia giggles] "...married!'

[gulps]

You may kiss the bride.

This is what you have been waiting for, Wheeler.

[gulps] Uh, uh..

[groans]

thud

Whoa! That was scary.

Hey, guys, wait till you hear about my nightmare.

- What, dear? - "Dear?"

[gasps]

[screams]

I'm old!

Forty is not so old, sweetheart.

[gasps] You're old!

Hey! Watch it, buster!

What-what happened to you?

You know very well what happened to me. Wink, wink!

- Hi, daddy! - Hiya, pop!

Uh-uh, we have two kids?

Don't be ridiculous, Wheeler. We have eight children.

(kids) Daddy! Daddy!

Eight kids?

What's going on around here?

And what happened to all the trees?

We cannot tell a lie daddy.

You cut them down to expand our house.

Five times!

[whirring]

What's gotten inside of you today, Wheeler?

Whatever it is, get over yourself.

You need to go shopping or it's

no din-din for the kiddies. Now move it!

Shopping?

(kids) At the mall! At the mall!

Be sure and use your Plunder bank card

the others are maxed out.

Maxed out?

(kid #1) ‘Daddy, | got the toilet paper.’

We got disposable diapers, pop.

The baby isn't born yet.

No, for Joey, David, and Kath.

Ooh, daddy! Can | get this toy?

No put that back.

- Daddy, | need to-- - Not now.

[country music]

(male announcer) ‘Walk into Plunder's auto pavilion’

‘and drive out in a V-24 maxi van.'

‘Plenty of room for the growing family.’

Hey, wait a second.

- Daddy, | need to-- - Not now!

Hey, let's buy this for mommy.

(male announcer) ‘Come on in and pig out on'

‘Greedly's Glutonous Gourmet Grub.’

‘Where you always get more than you can eat.’

Unbelievable!

Face it, ladies, we all wanna look younger.

Because beauty fades but stupid is forever.

Just use my 73 specially formulated skincare products

and you'll take years off your life.

| mean, uh, face.

- Ooh! That sounds great. - How wonderful!

And today only, ladies

get a free acid wash with every overpriced purchase.

Mommy uses that stuff.

Swell.

At Nukem's power hungry emporium

we got the monster appliances

for the mega consumer.

Take this new state-of-the-art entertainment complex.

It even comes with it's own nuclear generator

and a special remote

so all your appliances can already be on

when you arrive home.

This is pretty cool.

Have we gota TV at home?

Yeah, but it's only a ten foot screen.

Kwame's kids have a 40 footer!

- Daddy, | need to-- - Not--

(Dr. Blight) ‘Hey you rotten rug rats, get away from the--'

[crashing]

For mommy, daddy.

You're gonna pay for this.

Daddy, buy me sneakers.

Daddy, can | have a virtual reality

holographic 3D brain simulator please?

- Daddy.. - What do you want?

[peeing]

Nothing now.

| wet my pants.

[indistinct chatter]

Enough!

| can't take anymore!

(Kwame) ‘Wheeler, wait!’

We need to talk.

Oh, Ma-Ti! Kwame! | can't believe how--

Wheeler, you and Linka have too many kids.

It must stop.

Daddy, wait up!

Daddy, you forgot the packages.

[indistinct chatter]

You are consuming too many resources!

You mean like your 40 foot TV?

Uh, yeah, but so what?

| only have two children.

Hey, over consumption is over consumption.

Exactly, Wheeler!

And if you keep overfishing the waters

around Hope Island there won't be enough fish

for me to make fish meal for my livestock.

Well, | gotta feed my family, don't |?

(Plunder) ‘Where is that deadbeat Wheeler?’

Either pay your mortgage

or you and your family are out on your butts!

(Gaia) ‘Planeteers.’

[coughing]

We have another eco-emergency.

Not again!

- Where? - Right here as usual.

There's just too many people on this island

and t-too much greed everywhere

and when | think about all the times | have picked up

goop and garbage from all these--

Gaia? Gaia!

What's the eco-emergency?

Uh? Oh, yes.

Sly Sludge's sewage plan

has overloaded again. It's about to blow.

What do we do?

Beats me, honey.

The same thing we always do.

Let our powers..

Eh-hey, where's Linka?

(Linka) ‘Be right there, dear.’

As | was saying

let our powers combine.

Earth.

Fire.

Wind.

Water.

Heart.

[crackling]

By your powers combined

| am..

Uh-oh! Ugh!

What do you want now, huh?

The sewage plant's gonna blow.

"You gotta help us.’

You know | wouldn't have to deal with all this stuff

if they'd just cut down on consumption. Cut down on waste.

| don't know how many time | have to..

Go Planet!

Uh, something wrong?

What isn't, Wheeler?

Wheeler, where's the food?

|, uh, | don't know.

Duh. Your children have to eat, Wheeler.

I'm hungry, daddy. What's for dinner?

| don't like broccoli.

[rumbling]

First it's the Ice-age, then it's the Stone-age.

My luck, | get the sew-age!

Ugh!

[explosions]

[screams]

- This is all your fault. - You have too many kids.

(Linka) ‘Oh, |am so sick of listening all..'

Hey, I'm sorry, but--

Oh, for Pete's sake..

Hey! Isn't somebody gonna wash this curd off of me? Hello!

I'll handle it.

Let me help.

[coughs]

[spits]

[laughs]

Wheeler, wake up!

What, what? Where, where, where?

Linka!

- You fell asleep again. - Man.

Well, | don't know what is wrong with you, Wheeler.

The ride is almost over

and you have not tried to kiss me yet.

l, uh, don't you think we're moving a little fast, Linka?

| don't think we should rush into anything.

[groans] | do not understanding boys.

Uh, Linka, if we ever were to get married...

What?

How may kids would you wanna have?

Why?

‘Cause | definitely don't want more than two.

[chuckles] Oh, Wheeler.

Happy birthday.

(all) Go Planet!

Every ten years our planet's population

grows by nearly a billion people.

Soon there will be more than six billion of us

sharing Earth's limited resources.

So not only do we need to make

thoughtful choices about family's size

but we must start conserving now.

Get together with your friends and family

‘and think of ways to reduce your consumption.’

'AS well as reuse and recycle.’

And start doing 'em.

So we can all have a green tomorrow.

(all) The power is yours.
