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.
From North America, Wheeler, with the power of Fire.
From the Soviet Union, Linka, with the power of Wind.
From Asia, Gi, with the power of Water.
And from South America, Ma-Ti, with the power of Heart.
When the five powers combine
they summon Earth's greatest champion,
Captain Planet.
Go, Planet!
The power is yours!
How's the factory look, Mr. Scumm?
Deserted as an empty rat nest.
Those stinkin' environmentalist
have the place closed down, 'cus it was pollutin' too much.
Some people just got no appreciation for filth.
Surface! -Ay ay, Mr, Scumm.
Come my soldiers of slime. We're gonna see to it,
that this factory resumes its dirty work.
Or my name ain't Verminous Scumm.
We got the smoke stack going, Mr. Scumm.
Just like you ordered.
There's enough high sulfer coal here, to do some real serious pollutin'.
That's my kinda dirty trick.
Go ahead! Add that special rain making chemical!
Yes, Mr. Scumm.
When that chemical turns the clouds into rain,
the coal smoke will turn the rain into acid.
Come on, dudes! Last one to finish,
has to jump over the oil spill.
These obsticles are not easy for a little guy.
This obsticle course is a terrific way to stay in shape.
Yes and it is fun, too.
All right, go for it!
Lookin' good, Linka!
Now, everyone must climb this wall.
Ok, ready, set,... -Go!
We have to make it over the mud first.
But, there is no... -Water!
...mud!
I'm going to win!
I don't think so, Gi. Earth!
Nice catch, Kwame.
Tag, your it. Bet you can't catch me again!
Yes, I can.
Come back here, you can't get away from me!
Yes, I can!
Need any help, Russky tutsky?
That will be the day, janky pest.
Come on, Ma-Ti! You can do it!
All right, Ma-Ti. -Come on, Ma-Ti!
You can do it!
I wish these obsticles were a little smaller.
Or I were a little bigger.
Keep going! -Climb, Ma-Ti, climb!
Just a little further, dude!
Hey, Ma-Ti! With a cherry and some whipped cream,
you'd look like a hot fudge sundae.
How embaresing. And in fron of everybody too.
Look, it's Gaia! -There must be an eco emergency!
Right you are, my Planeteers.
To the Crystal Chamber at once.
Come on, little friend, let us help you
from your messy predicament.
Ma-Ti? -Everyonealways has to help me,
because I'm so small. I am nothing but trouble.
You'd all be better off without me.
Wait, Ma-Ti! -Hey, what's wrong with him?
Ma-Ti must feel like he failed.
Maybe we shouldn't have laught at him.
What's the trouble, Gaia? And who's the rat responsible?
Rat indeed, Wheeler. This time the culprit
is the most sinister rodent that ever lived,
Verminous Scumm.
He's an exterminators nightmare.
Born and raised in toxic wast,
Scumm and his rat pack thrive on pollution
and have declared war on the enviroment.
They've nested in an abandoned factory
and have started burning tones of cole.
What's so bad about burnin' a little cole?
Many things.
One of the worst is that it creates acid rain.
This terrible pollution can lay wast to entire forests.
It destroys lakes and rivers and it makes the water undrinkable.
Scumm and his henchmen are creating the deadliest
cloud of acid rain the world has ever seen.
There so limit to the horrors that cloud could unleash.
It could destroy an entire city.
We got to stop those evil rats!
Good luck, my Planeteers. The hopes of Earth go with you.
Planeteer alert! We comin' up on the abandoned factory.
Estimated time of arrival, two minutes.
Everyone always has to help me, because I'm so small.
I am nothing but trouble. You would all be better off without me.
Come on, little buddy. Time to rock'n'roll.
I am not going with you. -What?
Are you all right? -Why not?
I would just get in your way.
I do not have what it takes to be a Planeteer.
Come on, Ma-Ti. You don't really mean that.
Pick up your ring... -No, Wheeler!
Just go away! Go away!
Ok, little buddy. If that's how you feel.
Poor Ma-Ti. I had no idea, he felt so bad.
Perhaps we should stay and try to convince him that we need him.
There isn't time, dude. Look!
Wheeler's right. It won't be long,
before that cloud starts pouring acid rain.
I have an idea. Listen close.
You three distract them, while I...
Pour it on, my pals!
We'll give the world a shower, it'll never forget.
A shower of pollution!
As the old saying goes.
"Into every life, a little acid rain must fall."
Earthquake!
Good job, Kwame! That odda rattle those rodents.
Foolish intruders! How dare you interrupt my work!
We're the Planeteers, you festering furbal.
It's our job, to stop your evil work.
Indeed. We'll see about that.
Use your toxic wast. Show these brats
this is not a game!
Look out!
I don't run away from rats.
Wheeler, stop!
Fire!
Thanks for your help, kid.
Hurry, Wheeler. Remember the plan.
Now, wast 'em!
Well, we succeeded in getting there attention.
Now, we must keep them busy,
so Linka can stop there coal burning operation.
That Russky babe gets all the easy jobs.
It's barricaded. I will need to use my powers
to get inside.
Wind!
Watch out, my friends. Please, be careful.
All right, all I have to do now,
is turn off this conveyor machine.
That must be it!
We are trapped! -Then it's time to stop runnin'!
I agree. Let's show these ranegade rats
what Planeteers can do.
Water!
Fire!
Earth!
Congratulations, dudes. Look like, we got rid of them all.
Not quite.
Rats, more rats.
Surender, Planeteers, or else.
Hold it right there, my pretty little Planeteer!
You look out of site in my sites.
No, that acid rain cloude is getting bigger all the time.
And my friends have been captured.
I should help them, but what can I do?
Soon my rain cloud, will begin its rain of terror,
but pitty you won't be around to see it, Planeteers.
You have not won yet. Let us go now,
or you will regret it later. I am warrning you.
Save you breath, impudent human!
Lock 'em up!
Hey, open up!
We got to stop that cheese brain.
We have other problems first, Wheeler. Look!
This room is full of dangerous chemicals.
It was irresponsible for these to be left behind,
when the factory was closed.
Get back! The fumes are poisones!
We have to find a way out of here, fast!
No problem, I'll just burn a hole in this wall.
Wheeler, don't! One spark and these chemicles
could explode like a bomb! -I didn't think of that.
I will start an earthquake. That will crack this building open
like an egg. -No, Kwame.
An earthquake would spill this chemicles
and poison the ground.
My wind power might release toxic fumes into the atmosfere.
My water power might contaminate an underground spring.
Well, friends. We better do something
and fast. With the door closed,
it won't be long, before this room is filled
with deadly gas.
Let's call Captain Planet. -We can't from in here
and not without Ma-Ti.
We have to contact him.
I can not see my friends any more.
I wonder what those rotten rats have done with them.
I could never get past those guards.
My ring. It's glowing.
The Planeteers must be calling me.
Heart!
I sense fear and panic. My friends are in terrible danger.
I don't care how dangerous it is, I must help them.
I sure hope we find some more intruders.
Me too. I could really use the target practise.
Sorry, cousine.
I made it. I guess being small,
does have some advantages.
Heart!
My friends are trapped in that building.
Locked. There must be another way.
Perhaps the Planeteers can tell me.
Heart!
Look! -It's Ma-Ti!
He may be little, but he is big in courage.
Planeteers, how do I get into this building?
The roof, Ma-Ti! There's a window in the roof!
You must climb to the top of the building
and brake it open! -Hurry, Ma-Ti! Please, hurry!
This building is like a mountain. What if I can't climb it?
But for my friends, I will try.
We hold on much longer! -Come on, Ma-Ti!
We know you can do it!
I can not do it. I can not.
I could not climb the wall at our obsticle course on Hope Island.
How can I ever climb this huge building.
Gaia? -Saw you were in trouble.
I'm scared, Gaia. I can not make it.
Yes, you can, Ma-Ti. The only thing holding you back
is your fear. Look into your heart
and you will find all the strength you need.
With courage you can accomplishe anything.
The power is yours.
I must not give up. My friends are depending on me.
I made it. Gaia was right.
This is it, dudes.
Look!
It's Ma-Ti.
This fire hose, we can use it as a ladder.
Here, my friends! Climb up this!
Last one up's a hoser.
Mission accomplished, Mr. Scumm.
We've burned all the cole. -And all the rain making chemicals, too.
Excelent.
Soon well see, if those stupid humans
have enough sense to come in out of the acid rain.
Back to the rat tank!
That was a close one. Thank you, Ma-Ti.
Yeah, your one tough hombre.
Terrible cloude is going to start raining acid at any moment.
And look where the wind is blowing it.
Right toward that city. -There is nothing we can do
to stop that cloud by ouselfs.
Then let our powers combine.
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
By your power combined, I am Captain Planet!
Go, Planet!
Sensors show our cloud is just outside the city, Mr. Scumm.
Look, our super acid rain is starting.
Watch annihilate that farm.
Now that's entertainment.
The acid rain cloud is killing that forest.
Soon it'll be over that city!
Can't let that happen.
Guess I better make like the wind and blow.
Look, Captain Planet's moving the cloud away from the city.
Go, Planet!
Who is that guy and what's he doin' with my killer cloud?
Hey you, get off of my cloud!
This should be far enough.
Now, for little basic chemistry.
To neutralize acid, add a healthy dose of sodium carbonate.
This underground mineral deposit odda provide the basic solution.
Now, that's how I spell "acid reliefe".
That creep has ruined my acid cloud.
There's been a change in the weather, Scumm.
And now, I'm gonna rain on your parade.
Turn that super hero into a super zero.
Activate the toxic wast cannon!
Hey!
You'll have to do better then that, rat!
Miss me!
Miss me again!
It's time to tie up this lose end.
Captain Planet bend our blaster!
Let's get out of here.
Dive, dive!
The rodents are on the run.
Yeah, like rats from a sinking ship.
Thanks, Captain Planet. -Don't thank me.
The real hero's Ma-Ti. With brave Planeteers like you,
the Earth will always be safe from harm.
Remember...
The power is yours!
Caps right. If it wouldn't for you, little partner, we'd all be goners.
Nice to have you back on the team, Ma-Ti.
Good work. -Outstanding!
The feeling that one person can't make a difference,
is the greatest obsticle of all. Congratulations, Ma-Ti.
You overcame your fears. Your a true Planeteer.
Go, Planet!
What's the problem, Planeteers?
It's acid rain, Capt. Those factories burning cole
are polluting the air are a real menace.
When air pollution mixex with the clouds and then rains
it can destroy forests. -As well as pollute the drinking water
and kill fish and other wildlife.
Write a letter to your congres person to support our environmental laws.
The power is yours!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water! -Heart!
Go, Planet!
By your powers combined, I am Captain Planet!
Captain Planet, he's our hero,
gonna take pollution down to zero.
He's our powers magnified
and he's fighting on the planet side.
Captain Planet, he's our hero,
gonna take pollution down to zero.
Gonna help him put us under,
bad guys who like to loot and plunder.
"You'll pay for this Captain Planet!"
We're the Planeteers,
you can be one too!
'Cause saving our planet is the thing to do.
Looting and polluting is not the way,
hear what Captain Planet has to say.
"THE POWER IS YOURS!!" Sync: Vayger :)
