(Captain Planet) The power is yours!

[intense music]

[thunder crashing]

(Blight) ‘So how do | look now?"

(MAL) ‘Well, my impatient, patient according to the medical data’

‘you're in perfect health from the neck down, that is.'

What's that supposed to mean, bit brain?

It means that the, um, uh..

Irregularity on your face is, um..

[coughs] Spreading.

Spreading? How fast?

By the time you hit mid-life crisis which is..

Oh, my, just around the corner.

‘The scar will cover most of your body.'

‘Give or take a limb. '

Listen up, Dr. Malpractice!

You'll need a drive transplant if we don't find a cure!

[stuttering] Um, perhaps a second opinion?

Start searching, you Hippocratic oaf!

Galloping gigabytes! I've got it!

Frogs are among Earth's most advanced

regenerating organisms.

So, uh, how does that regeneration

stuff work again, MAL baby?

Well, Dr. Two-Faced, many amphibians

‘can regrow lost limbs by repairing’

‘their genetic material or DNA.’

‘Deoxyribonucleic acid, to you'

‘by releasing an enzyme called photolyase. '

Apply this phenomenon to your

DNA structure and theoretically--

Forget theory, Mr. Malcontent.

- Will it work? - It could..

But it probably won't.

Frogs, toads, salamanders!

| want every single amphibian

that ever set flippers on a lily pad.

Oops!

One small glitch, Dr. Blightenstein.

My research indicates this planet

is experiencing an amphibian famine.

Oh, no! What's happening to my froggies?

Just the usual good stuff.

Polluted water, pesticides, increasing

ultraviolet radiation, blah, blah, blah.

What's the upshot, MAL?

[thuds]

Extinction!

Frogs are becoming harder and harder to find

| don't care if it takes every last slimy amphib on Earth.

I'll have my face fixing froggy elixir!

[instrumental music]

[water gurgling]

[buzzing]

[splat]

[Frog croaks]

[dramatic music]

(Blight) ‘Hop to it, Malakins..’

‘We've got places to steal and frogs to see!’

[instrumental music]

(Linka) ‘Wheeler, you must wear sunblock'

or you will barbecue your skin!

Don't worry your pretty, little moisturized face

Cool dudes are sun-friendly, babe.

[grunting]

Nice dig, Kwame.

But I'm afraid the game's over.

We have a perplexing eco-emergency.

Perplexing?

(Gaia) ‘Because of their thin, hairless skin'

‘amphibians are acutely sensitive to pollution.’

Making them natural barometers of conditions on Earth.

Exactly. And in recent years amphibians around the world

have been dying off.

Bozhe moi!

Frogs have existed on Earth

for some 350 million years!

If they are facing extinction

we may be hopping down the same path.

Now for the real puzzle, critical sections of amphibian

‘habitats have been disappearing.'

- Did you say habitats? - Yes.

It's as if someone is scooping up

some of the finest frog real estate remaining.

Literally!

The areas hit seem to be in a direct line.

So this is the next logical target.

- Come on. - Ow! Sunburn!

Sorry, Wheeler, it seems cool dudes

are no different than amphibians

when it comes to ultraviolet rays.

[jet engine revving]

[dramatic music]

(MAL) ‘The ribbit-nacle choir’

‘is starting to get on my nerves.’

Oh, what's a little croaking to save face?

Mine, of course.

Dare | ask what you're doing, Dr. Dearest?

Just whipping up a regenerating froggy frappe.

[machine whirring]

Here's warts in your eye!

[gulping]

Ahh. Not bad.

Beats a grasshopper.

[coughing]

| think | have a frog in my throat!

[grunts] Or three or four.

Your latest flying amphibian farm has landed.

Time to move on?

Hop to it, Toto!

You can't have too many frogs or too many lily pads.

Before I'm finished, the whole world will be green

with envy!

Or nausea.

[sighs]

[gulping]

[retching]

Wimp!

[instrumental music]

I'd help, guys.

But I'm so fried, it hurts to breathe.

| am picking up high levels of chlorine

and other bleaching agents.

There must be a pulp mill upstream.

It says here, "Chemical contamination

is the leading cause of amphibian death."

Ow!

So, Wheeler, do you prefer to be regular

or extra crispy?

Not funny, Linka.

On top of this sunburn

I'll probably get warts from all these toads.

[scoffs] Frog wash!

Toads do not give people warts.

[gasps] What is happening?

- Aah! - Aah!

- Look out! - Look out!

What the..

[groans]

Kwame, we need help!

Then let our powers combine.

Earth!

[twinkling]

(Ma-Ti) Something must have happened to Wheeler!

Quick, we can track him!

So, what have we got in the amphib

inventory now, my main frame?

51 cascades frogs

'73 tiger salamanders’

‘and the last 50 or so Wyoming toads'

‘left in the world and..'

Oh, yes.

‘From our last little sortie’

‘one comatose pollywogeteer.'

A planet pest?

Hmm, one down, four to go.

Ah, what the heck?

Let's throw in that stupid

little monkey for a clean sweep!

[dramatic music]

[screams]

Sorry to disturb your beauty sleep, bio-brat!

What, what are you doin’ to me?

Oh, yes, doctor. Do tell.

(Blight) ‘From this one geo-guinea pig'

‘| can pinch skin and hair samples for all’

‘five eco-toadies.'

‘Take this hair from Blondie.’

With it, | can work up her DNA blueprint.

Just what | need for my long-awaited

Planeteer Genome Project.

I-| don't get it.

Oh, but you will.

With your DNA samples, the delicious doctor can fix

your genetic weaknesses or exploit them.

| pulled an all-nighter and cooked up

two breakthrough formulas.

[sniffing]

Ah. And now for the secret ingredient.

(MAL) ‘Mm. Must you before lunch?’

(Blight) 'Now I'll shoot the defective DNA'

‘from my scar into pyro-boy.'

Turning him into..

Are you ready?

A giant scab!

That's insane!

Totally!

And | love it.

This other beaker contains my frog DNA regenerator

to stop my scar from spreading

thereby enhancing my radiant beauty.

Don't even think it!

[alarm beeping]

(MAL) 'We-we-we hit’

‘a n-nasty bit of turbulence.’

‘I'm having trouble stabilizing’

‘because of the weight we're tractoring.'

(Blight) "You didn't lose track of the toadeteers'

‘in the storm, did you?'

(MAL) ‘Negative. They're still on radar.’

Good, because it's time for operation

regeneration to begin!

[dramatic music]

Now, deposit the last load of land

and then head to Cave Central.

The other planet pollywogs will be arriving soon

for their darts of doom.

But first..

H-Hey! Come on! You're not really gonna--

Just watch me!

[clicks]

(Wheeler) ‘Aah! No!’

| really enjoy being a villain.

[laughs]

[jet engine revvs]

(Gi) ‘Look! Those must be the chunks of land'

Blight ripped off!

Wheeler!

[muffled groaning]

[all screaming]

We're going down!

Nice shot, MAL baby!

[crashes]

[muffled groaning]

[Suchi chatters]

Suchi, stay in the geo-cruiser.

It may be safer.

[grunting]

Go back! It's a trap!

[engine revving]

Now, I'll really have something to pick on

Eco-scabs!

[clicking]

[dramatic music]

[clicking]

- Aah! - Aah!

Huh?

Wind!

Aah!

[screaming]

Hurry, Gi!

[instrumental music]

Thanks, guys.

Now let's get out of here before

Dr. Do-Bad does us in!

[birds chirping]

Ah, that dart just nicked my armband.

This one hit...lunch.

[sighs] Saved by the belt.

[groans] | was not so lucky.

She shot me, too, in her lab.

Its something to attack our DNA

and-and turn us into mondo scabs!

Scabs?

Whatever Dr. Blight, did has made Wheeler

mondo cuckoo!

We'd better find Blight's lab fast!

[wolf howling]

(Ma-Ti) ‘| cannot believe Dr. Blight’

has stolen all these ecosystems.

[groans]

Anyone else feel like they're gonna blow lunch?

[retching]

You've been through a lot, Wheeler.

Gi is right. We should make camp.

Ah, good idea.

| am suddenly feeling

very woozy, too.

[owl hooting]

Dr. Blight's darts must be taking effect.

[eagle screeches]

(Ma-Ti) ‘Kwame, Gi! Come quick!’

Bizarre.

(Kwame) ‘Surely there is an explanation.’

- Where would they have gone? - Without their clothes.

Something's definitely wrong.

We'd better look for them.

[dramatic music]

Man, w-where am |?

Whoa! Somebody ripped off my clothes!

Ugh, it's freezing!

A shoelace?

I'm a puny-teer!

[intense music]

[instrumental music]

(Linka) ‘Why is it so dark?’

Not Linka, too!

Dr. Demented really did it this time!

Should |?

[chuckles]

Uh, nah.

| better not.

Hang on, Linka.

I'll bring you something to wear.

(Linka) ‘Bozhe moi!'

| am stark raving.’

Please! A guy can only take so much.

This has got to be a bad dream.

Not that you don't look great, babe.

This is what, Blight's dart did to us?

Right. And it looks like she nabbed the others.

We'd better find them and the antidote.

If there is one.

Wait. Our rings.

[grunts]

I've heard of ring around the collar

but this is ridiculous.

[crickets chirping]

Blight must've captured them.

In the buff?

Weird. Very weird.

[instrumental music]

[frog croaking]

Oh, no.

[grunting]

People do not realize that

their litter becomes death traps

for innocent creatures.

[frog croaks]

Man, being small sure makes a mountain out of a molehill.

It is a frog's life.

[screaming]

Yikes! Monster ants!

Come on, Linka! You don't want those ants in your pants!

Run for that toad!

Let's hit the water while the cavalry holds 'em off!

[intense music]

[splat]

Now, that is what | call a natural

born exterminator.

Gross! That looks like a factory drainpipe.

And there's a fungus among us.

| have read that amphibians catch deadly fungal infections

from pollutants like these.

Wow. Check it out! Pod people.

They are frog eggs, Wheeler.

‘But | am afraid they will not hatch’

What do you mean? Why not?

(Linka) ‘High levels of ultraviolet rays’

have killed most of these eggs

the same way they burnt your back.

See? Very few tadpoles are moving.

Oh, my goo..

Ribbit!

Very funny, Wheeler! What! Aah!

[growling]

Wind!

[water splashing]

- Run! - Ribbit!

[Linka panting]

Even without pollution, the life of a frog

is clearly not easy!

[croaks] Ribbit. Ribbit.

Wheeler, you are not joking.

You are really croaking as if you are becoming a frog.

[croaks]

Ribbit, ribbit.

You want me to kiss you?

So you can turn into a prince, perhaps?

Ribbit! Ribbit! Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit!

Well, alright.

How can | turn down such

a pathetic plea?

Oh, ribbit!

[gasps] What a surprise!

- It did not work. - Ribbit!

[clears throat] Actually, it did!

Amazing!

| do not believe it.

Aah! What is this?

(Wheeler) ‘It's a web'

‘with a jumbo, hungry spider!’

[intense music]

[clicking]

Wheeler, do something!

I'm doing! I'm doing!

Fire!

[fire blazing]

[screams]

Oh, that was horrible!

[intense music]

[wolves howling]

[sighs] Looks like we are finally out of the woods.

Then again, maybe not!

(Linka) ‘Gila monster!’

Run!

Under the rocks! Hurry!

[growling]

(Wheeler) Breath mints, anyone?

Aah!

[intense music]

[sighs]

We just went from bad to worse.

Hey, its, Suchi Kong to the rescue!

[croaks]

[Suchi chatters]

[croaks]

Sounds like the croak is on the other foot, babe.

Oh. Come on!

Help us find the others, Suchi.

- Ribbit. - Hi-ho, Suchi! Away!

[instrumental music]

No sign of Wheeler and Linka.

We'd better hurry. Blight may be back any moment!

[Suchi chattering]

Suchi! Why did you leave the Geo-Cruiser?

[Suchi chattering]

Linka? Wheeler?

How can this be?

Blight's formula! How else?

| was shooting for super scabs

but but tiny-teers will do!

Oh, Dr. Blight!

Uh, what's happening to your face?

Oh, no! Is my scar spreading?

- Aah! - It hasn't changed.

I've been duped. MAL!

Oh! Oh, that's a rude awakening.

We need a team beam.

Let our powers combine!

Earth!

Fire!

[gasps] Oh, no!

Linka's voice!

Ribbit! Ribbit!

Wind!

Hold still, so | can plug you

planet party-poopers!

Water!

Heart!

[twinkling]

[crashing]

By your powers combined, | am Captain Planet!

I'd better leap into action before she turns

the Planeteers into frogeteers!

Back off, or I'll turn the planet-toad

into planet puree!

We'd better abandon ship, Planeteers!

Go!

[jet engine revving]

(Blight) ‘So long, losers!’

Hopalong Planet will not take this lying down!

(MAL) ‘Uh-oh! Planet alert.’

Woah!

I'll just zap Caption Eco-sap with a mega dart

of my super scab formula.

Fire, MAL baby!

Darts away!

[explosion]

[laughs]

Take that, Jolly Green Goober!

[water splashes]

Let's hit the road, Malakins.

l-| feel strange.

[whimpering]

[screaming]

Oops! Back to my birthday suit!

Don't be shy.

After all | am a doctor.

[grunting]

[frogs croaking]

They're taking over the controls!

It's the day of the phibs!

Ahh! Brr!

Nothing like a lily dip to cleanse the spirit.

Sometimes | can be a real sucker!

[whirring]

- Whoa! Aah! - Whoa!

Its just another

frog day afternoon.

No!

[indistinct chatter]

Cap, the frogs!

[intense music]

| wasn't gonna let them croak.

[retching]

Sometimes you've got to save the bitter with the better.

(Linka) ‘When this shrinky-dink formula wears off'

| will get you for this, Yankee!

But for now, babe, | got you in the palm of my hand.

- Gaia! - Great work, Planeteers.

Blight is returning all the frogs and their habitats

with a little encouragement from Captain Planet.

Well, we'll certainly have more respect

for those little green guys in the future.

Right. Wheeler!

[gasping]

- My toga! - Ah-choo!

(Linka) ‘Gesundheit.’

(MAL) ‘By the way, Dr. Dearest. Um..'

‘Ha! The darndest thing happened. '

‘It's actually quite humorous'

It seems | made a slight error in my calculations.

| inadvertently reversed my numbers.

What!

The scar on your face was actually..

[chuckles] .. shrinking until you accidentally

‘switched your formulas. '

‘SO now your scar is’

‘spreading faster than an oil spill!’

‘Guess that's what happens'

‘when you mess with Mother Nature.’

[Blight screaming]

(Planeteers) ‘Go, Planet!’

Each of us can do things to help stop

the depletion of Earth's protective atmosphere.

Like using solar-powered lights outside instead of electric.

Or replacing regular light bulbs

with low-energy compact fluorescents.

Opening a window instead of using air conditioning.

And dispose of freon in your

air conditioner and refrigerator

even in car air conditioners properly.

So do your part.

Reduce, reuse, recycle!

(all) The power is yours!

Earth!

Fire!

- Wind! - Water!

- Heart! - Go Planet!

By your powers combined, | am Captain Planet!
