[instrumental music]

[birds squawk]

Empty again?

[sighs]

How can there be so few fish

in the great river?

Oh, people of the river, please help me.

Bring back the fish, so my village will prosper.

[squeaking]

[dramatic music]

[grunts]

Thank you, my dolphin friends.

[explosion]

| am the dolphin spirit.

- It can't be! - But it is.

And I've come for my fish.

But you brought them to me.

The spirit giveth and the spirit taketh away.

Go tell the rest of your people, to stop fishing my waters.

[grunts]

[laughs]

[snorts]

[laughter]

| sure got those Indians hog-tied

with this dolphin spirit scam.

[laughs]

Yep, yep, the way we're scaring off the competition

we'll end up the only ones fishing these waters.

[instrumental music]

- Thank you for coming. - No problem, Tico.

Yeah, but | still can't believe Ma-Ti dragged us

halfway across the world for some finned phantom.

You actually saw this dolphin spirit?

| saw, uh, something.

Probably, just swamp gas.

(Tico) My people have many stories about river dolphins.

We believe that dolphins are our equals.

Come on. A big fish my equal?

Of course not, dolphins are intelligent mammals, Wheeler.

| knew that.

Now, river dolphins are in danger of being shot

because they compete with fishing.

[squeals]

- What happened here? - 'Ranchers..'

(Tico) ‘Clear-cut the forest to graze cattle.’

‘Now, mud and silt are washing into the river.’

[somber music]

[dramatic music]

[spits]

[whirrs]

Make sure you fish out all the piranha.

How come we're collecting these little cannibals, boss?

(Greedly) ‘Health insurance. '

Health insurance? Yah!

These guys are bad for your health!

[Greedly laughs]

Exactly.

Mmm. Fresh sushi!

Look, boss, our other competition.

Huh?

[sputters]

Those overgrown fish are eating up my property.

[gunshots]

Except river dolphins ain't fish, boss.

Nope, nope, they eat fish.

But they're mammals, just like us.

Whatever, they're pigging out on my fish!

‘And they got to go!’

[gunshots]

Uh, just around this bend is where | saw

‘the dolphin spirit.’

[Suchi chitters]

Stop!

Water!

[squeals]

- Let's move it! - Move it guys, hurry.

(Gi) Come on! Hurry!

[dramatic music]

Oh, you poor thing. Easy with him.

[chitters]

There you go.

[blows raspberry]

What do you think you're doing?

We were about to ask you the same thing.

| was just going to cut out its eye.

[chitters]

[indistinct chatter]

(Wheeler) ‘Aw, man! That's gross. '

What would anyone want with dolphin eyes?

They are good luck charms.

- Lucky? For who? - Me.

There is a man in town paying double the going rate.

‘Three dollars for each dolphin eye.'

Man, | can't believe you'd kill this great fish

uh, mammal for six bucks.

Actually, three, only the left eye is lucky.

And | could have used that money.

Come on, let's head to town and give

this big spender the evil eye.

You go ahead, Gi and | will look around

the area where Tico saw the dolphin spirit.

(Ma-Ti) ‘We will circle back and pick you up later.’

[engine revs]

[instrumental music]

Kwame, over here.

It appears that our dolphin spirit has balloon tires.

And a hoggish appetite.

- Greedly! - Greedly!

[indistinct chatter]

[dolphin squeaking]

Pee-yew, do these guys stink!

Not as much as you and your outrageous prices.

You can make it up on the dolphin.

Sell both its eyes.

‘Nobody's gonna know a left from the right’

without the head.

|! am not sure anyone will pay for the eye of a baby.

(Rigger) ‘Uh, just say they're good luck charms for kids.’

[dramatic music]

Uh-oh!

Yep, yep, yep. Planet pests.

| got to tell the boss.

See ya. Oh!

Uh, time to put you out of your misery.

Wait

[chitters]

- No! - Oh, man! It's only a baby.

Here.

- 'Wait! Bring him back!’ - 'Come back!’

- No, stop! - No, come back!

[pants]

- Coming through! - Excuse me!

- Excuse me! - Excuse me!

[both grunt]

Sorry!

Ugh!

[grunting and panting]

My bananas!

What's he want with the little guy?

Maybe, he likes dolphin meat.

Baby dolphin burgers? Yuck!

(Linka) Stop! No! Wait!

Stop! Wait! Wait! Stop!

Come on, we can catch him with the Geo-Cruiser.

[dramatic music]

(Ma-Ti) ‘There he is!’

[engine revs]

- Over there! - Oh, | can't watch!

(Planeteers) ‘No, stop!’

- Oh, no. - He's okay, Wheeler.

He did not hurt the dolphin.

Yeah, well, he better not have.

Ugh, men.

- You're letting it go? - Of course.

[chitters]

[instrumental music]

| Know how important the dolphins are.

| worked as a fisherman upriver.

‘Then the commercial fleets and other industry came. '

(Ma-Ti) ‘What happened?’

(male #1) ‘Well, the fish and the animals'

‘started to disappear.’

The river | grew up on is dying.

| wanted to preserve my home.

So, | created a business using my fishing boat

to show visitors the Amazon and all of its beauty.

What a great idea.

(male #1) ‘When | heard that this area was in trouble’

‘| came to help people do the same thing here.’

[chitters]

[laughter]

Suchi, | think he's telling you not to litter his home.

[Greedly snorts]

(Greedly) ‘What are you talking about?’

A little pollution never hurt anybody.

[all scream]

[chitters]

Now, into my am-pig-ious craft

or I'll blow you dolphin lovers to bits.

[laughter]

[snorts]

[dramatic music]

| hope you're hungry.

We don't want your food.

Wasn't talking to you, eco-ick.

| was talking to my piranha pals.

They're hungry, alright, boss.

Yep, yep! Starved!

Don't worry, they'll be chowing down

on Planeteer-ios real soon.

[laughs]

Nobody's making a planet burger out of me.

Now, cut that out.

[water gurgles]

Well, what do we got here?

| bet this chopper's worth some copper.

[grunts] Give that back!

Stealing a dolphin's tooth will only bring you bad luck.

Newsflash, I'm not the one with the bad luck.

- No! - You can't do this!

[indistinct chatter]

Now, stock the pond, Rigger

so our guests won't have to swim alone.

Gee, boss, I'm gonna miss these little flesh chompers.

(Greedly) ‘Don't worry, once they've been fattened on eco-d'oeuvres'

‘we'll just cruise by and pick 'em up.'

- Piranhas! - Aah!

[indistinct yells]

| thought my fishy friends

would enjoy a candlelight supper.

Bon appetit, piranha!

- No! - You can't do this!

[indistinct chatter]

Glad you could drop in, for dinner!

[laughs]

Now, the dolphin spirit

is going to dynamite every last dolphin in the river!

[laughs]

- Look! - Kwame, the Geo-Cruiser!

It looks like they found Greedly.

Or Greedly found them.

[dramatic music]

We're packed too tight.

I-| can't get my hands free.

Oh, what a way to go.

(Wheeler) ‘We aren't gone yet. Look!’

Wheeler's knife!

[chitters]

Come on, Flipper! Flip it here! Hurry, fella.

[all yell]

- ‘Suchi!' - ‘Suchi!'

Suchi, get the knife over there!

[both chitter]

Hurry, Suchi!

[both chitter]

[boing]

[chitters]

Suchi! The knife!

[both chitter]

Come along, Suchi. Hurry, my friend.

[all yell]

Suchi, free Linka's hands.

Good boy, Suchi.

Got it! Wind!

[all grunt]

Whoa! Hey! | need my toes.

- Are you okay? - Let me help.

Good job, Suchi! You too, Linka.

The dolphins, how are we

going to stop Greedly from blowing them up?

Well, let's start by shedding some light on the situation.

Fire!

We're too far from my village to get help.

There must be some way.

And here it comes!

[indistinct chatter]

Need a lift?

[owl hoots]

f I'll be blowing up the dolphins J

f All the livelong night

f I'll be blowing up the dolphins J

f Rigger get it right JJ

A-a-are you sure these b-b-b-bombs are safe, b-b-boss?

They're bombs, they're not supposed to be safe.

‘But don't get your tail in a curl.’

They're timed, so, they won't start exploding

‘until we're clear down river.'

‘Then, it's one bomb every few seconds'

till I've wiped out all the competition.

[laughs]

[whimpers]

[splash]

- Aah! - Hey!

Be careful with those things!

[engine whirrs]

- There! - Take her low, Kwame.

I'm gonna char me some pork chops.

[screams]

[whooshes]

[Suchi chitters]

Kwame, Wheeler's in the river. If another bomb blows..

Then, let our powers combine.

Earth!

[grunts]

Fire!

Wind!

Water!

[Suchi chitters]

Heart!

[rumbles]

By your powers combined, | am Captain Planet!

[grunts]

Next time, Wheeler, keep your seatbelt fastened.

Whoa! That was close, Cap.

Close but no cigar.

Some days, my job is fun, but today it's a real blast.

Bombs away!

[water burbles]

Trouble is, these things are gonna blow

faster than | can dunk and throw.

[whirrs]

[chitters]

Whoa! Careful, friend.

‘Animals, like children’

shouldn't play with explosives.

Nice pitch, Planet goes back to pass.

It's a long bomb!

[explosion]

(Captain Planet) ‘Oh, | get it.'

You don't wanna play, you wanna help.

Well, okay, but it takes more than two

to make a winning team.

People of the river, help me.

[chittering]

One little, two little, three little hand grenades.

[explosions]

Four little, five little, six little hand grenades.

[explosion]

[chittering]

Seven little...whoa! Huh?

| guess these aren't timed to go off yet.

‘| can fix that.'

[inhales sharply]

[explosion]

Thanks, friends! You're doing a bang-up job.

[all cheer]

Enjoying the light show, Planeteers?

[chitters]

That should be the last of 'em.

Put it right over the plate, pal.

[chitters]

Wait! Erma, bring the bomb back!

What's she doing? It's gonna blow any second.

[dramatic music]

No more kabooms, boss.

And no more dolphins.

[laughs]

Now, let's circle around the other channel

and pick up the piranha stash.

[chitters]

Hey, boss, looks like one of 'em got away.

(Rigger) Wow! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Whoa, Steady this thing, Rigger!

I'll nail him right between those lucky eyes.

Aye-aye! Get it, boss? Aye, aye!

Yeah and now, the dolphin's gonna get it.

[engine revs]

Hey! | said steady!

Say, boss, isn't that one of our..

...bombs?

[explosion]

Yep, yep!

That's what it was, alright.

[both grunt]

My am-pig-ious craft!

Looks like stealing that dolphin tooth

really did bring bad luck.

Worse than you think. We're in the piranha pool!

Uh, uh, nice fishy!

[both grunt]

Let go, you fanger-on!

Have a snack.

Now maybe, my luck will change.

(Greedly) Maybe not! Aah!

[screams]

Get it off! Get it off!

(Captain Planet) Looks like the fish are really biting today.

[instrumental music]

Although fish were disappearing from this part of our river

today, they are making a strong comeback.

And now, when people come to shoot river dolphins

‘most of them use cameras. '

[chittering]

(Planeteers) Go, Planet!

Lots of useful products are made from animals

but many animals including endangered species

‘are are killed to make things we really don't need.’

(Gi) We kill some animals for good luck charms.

(Linka) Others for decoration.

(Kwame) And some are even killed just for souvenirs .

(Captain Planet) As long as we buy these kind of products

these animals will continue to be endangered.

So, think before you buy.

Is this worth an animal's life?

The power to choose is yours.

- Earth!

- Fire! - Wind!

- Water! - Heart!

(all) Go, Planet!

By your powers combined, | am Captain Planet!
