Short filmTranscript
00:00Our world is in peril.
00:03Gaia, the spirit of the Earth, can no longer stand the terrible destruction plaguing our
00:09planet.
00:10She sends five magic rings to five special young people.
00:14From Africa, with the power of earth.
00:18From North America, Wheeler, with the power of fire.
00:27From the Soviet Union, Minka, with the power of wind.
00:32From Asia, Yi, with the power of water.
00:41And from South America, Mati, with the power of heart.
00:45When the five powers combine, they summon Earth's greatest champion, Captain Planet.
01:22Chop them all down!
01:48Step one in our evil plan.
01:52Step two, coal to create lots of dirty smoke.
01:56Step three, oil and gasoline.
02:00Fuel for my smog-spewing barge.
02:04Part car, part power plant, part factory.
02:09It'll burn oil, gas, wood, or coal.
02:13Congratulations, Dr. Blight.
02:16You've raised air pollution to an art.
02:19Burning these fossil fuels will increase the carbon dioxide gas in the Earth's atmosphere
02:25and keep in more of the sun's heat.
02:28We'll have such fun making life on Earth too hot to handle.
02:32Right you are, sweetie.
02:34But first, we must test my scheme on the island the Planeteers call home.
02:39Oh, goody.
02:41All my massive computations to locate Gaia and home island have paid off.
02:46We'll make those planet punks suffer.
02:49Then I'll deliver the final blow.
02:54Come on, Dr. Blight.
02:56You can tell your own computer.
02:58What is this secret surprise we're towing?
03:01If I told you, then it wouldn't be a surprise, now would it, my baby?
03:11Dr. Blight, someone's coming.
03:17What is these farts doing so close to Hope Island?
03:21It's one of those miserable Planeteers.
03:24I can't let her warn the others.
03:27Oh, sorry. They are after me.
03:31Wind!
03:46Wind!
04:09One Planeteer down, four to go.
04:17Repair the force field dome.
04:20I already did that milliseconds ago.
04:24Then activate it, honey child.
04:28Wind!
04:43Won't the Planeteers notice the force field?
04:46Who cares? It's already too late for them to stop it.
04:53Kwame, your greenhouse grows beautiful flowers.
04:56It is like my home in the rainforest.
04:58Yes, Mati. Even on cool days like this, the glass windows keep the sun's warmth inside.
05:04So they made a little greenhouse.
05:07So what? I've made a really big greenhouse out of Hope Island.
05:13Then let's put the heat on and start cooking.
05:17What shall we burn first, baby cakes?
05:20Well, I would...
05:22Would? Of course.
05:24I think coal would be best.
05:36This ought to smoke them out.
05:39More fuel! More smoke! More heat!
06:10Burning that wood has driven the carbon dioxide level over Hope Island way up.
06:16It's already 20 degrees hotter.
06:19And this is just the beginning.
06:22Dr. Blight!
06:24I should have known your twisted mind was behind this.
06:28No, darling. You should have known my brilliant mind would outwit yours.
06:34Eat smoke, planeteer.
07:05With your arms trapped like that, your ring is useless.
07:09The planeteers will still stop you.
07:12Your friends will never beat the heat.
07:18I can't believe it got hot so fast.
07:21A quick dip will cool us in a second.
07:24I think we're ready to go.
07:27Let's go.
07:35No, it won't. This ocean is as warm as bath water.
07:39Wheeler, something is really wrong.
07:42That's an understatement, Gi.
07:44To the crystal chamber, planeteers. We have an eco-emergency.
07:54Dr. Blight has created a force field over Hope Island and is pumping pollution into it.
07:59If we don't stop her...
08:03Gang, are you all right? You look sick.
08:07Don't worry about me. You four have a job to do.
08:11Four? Hey, where's Linka?
08:17Dr. Blight has taken a prisoner on that barge.
08:20Hurry. Time is short.
08:23No, Tsuji. We cannot summon Captain Planet without Linka.
08:28We must handle this ourselves.
08:31Get us away from the barge, Kwami. We can sneak around from behind.
08:35Hurry. Dr. Blight's heat wave is killing our sea friends.
08:43Wait a minute. I see something out there. A kind of shimmering.
08:48It looks like the force field. Gi, see if you can break through it.
08:52I'll try. Water!
08:55I'll try. Water!
09:21Gi, are you okay?
09:24The force field is too strong for me.
09:28Then we will dive under it.
09:30Ready to dive, Mati?
09:32Dive!
09:39Oh, no. Look. The force field extends underwater. We are going to hit it.
09:47Hang on, everybody.
09:55What are we going to do now?
09:58Mati, ask Gaia what we do now.
10:02Heart.
10:04Gaia, we need help.
10:07I'm sorry, Mati, but so do I.
10:25Gaia, what is happening? What is wrong?
10:31I'm not well, Mati.
10:33How can the spirit of Earth be sick?
10:36My health is linked to the Earth and to this special place.
10:40If Hope Island dies, I, too, will die.
10:45Do not worry, Gaia. We will save you both.
10:49How are we going to do that?
10:53How are we going to do that?
10:55I don't know. Is the Eco-Sub still working?
10:58As long as we do not run into any more force fields.
11:01But we must get through. Gaia cannot survive much longer.
11:06Those silly planeteers will never get past our force field.
11:13I have got to get free.
11:16Or Dr. Blight's greenhouse effect will ruin Hope Island forever.
11:23All right, now. It's time to get to the really cool part of my plan.
11:29Oh, goody. At last I'll find out what that thing is.
11:33I'm about to crash from curiosity.
11:36Watch closely, because soon Hope Island will be history.
11:40Open force field.
11:47Hey, Dr. Blight is up to something. Something big.
11:51And it's moving toward Hope Island.
11:53But it cannot get through unless...
11:56The force field. Is it open?
11:59Dr. Blight is moving something in.
12:02We can slip under it while the force field is down.
12:08Down, Periscope.
12:10This will be a tight squeeze.
12:12We made it.
12:14Good job.
12:16And we're outside the force field.
12:18Kwami, bring us up to Periscope depth.
12:21We do not want Dr. Blight to see us coming.
12:31He and I will swim out the escape hatch and help Link.
12:43The smog from this barge is awful.
12:46We will never be able to use our rings.
12:49But we can use our heads. Come on.
12:52Linka, quick.
12:54Huh?
12:59We must stop Dr. Blight before she burns any more fuel.
13:05You chiphead.
13:07She got away, and her goody-goody pals are with her.
13:12But I was busy turning on the oil furnace like you told me.
13:16I can't be everywhere.
13:18Spare me the excuses. I'll handle this.
13:26Look. Over there.
13:29I think we have struck oil.
13:31Now to shut down the flow.
13:34Whoa!
13:36Hot enough for you, darlings?
13:39Hold still, would you?
13:42It's time we gave Dr. Blight the slip.
13:48What?
13:50Whoa!
13:52Oh!
13:54No!
13:56Oh, no!
13:58Oh!
14:00Oh!
14:03That must be the first oil spill that ever helped the environment.
14:09I'm not finished yet, you planet punks.
14:13But it's time for Blight to get out of sight.
14:16Are you with me, Mal, baby?
14:19Women and computers first.
14:21I hate it when this happens.
14:31Oh, no!
14:33Mal and Dr. Blight are getting away!
14:36Ow!
14:38I think I slipped a disk drive.
14:41Poor baby.
14:43Would it feel any better if I showed you my big surprise?
14:47Here it is.
14:51What is that?
14:53Whatever it is, it gives me a chill.
15:00An iceberg.
15:02But how?
15:03She must have told it here from the Arctic.
15:06And that is not just any iceberg.
15:08That is...
15:10A rapidly melting iceberg.
15:12A touch of irony, my dears.
15:15To cool off my greenhouse effect, I'm melting some polar ice.
15:22Look, inside the force field.
15:24The sea level is rising.
15:26We've got to shut down those furnaces to slow down the iceberg's melting.
15:30Come on. The controls must be up on the bridge.
15:37I wonder which switch is the right one.
15:40The only way we can find out is to try them all.
15:50None of them work.
15:53It must be this.
15:57We did it!
15:59It is time to abandon ship.
16:14Good work. You've stopped any more heat buildup.
16:17So what?
16:19My force field generator is still working.
16:22So what? My force field generator is still working.
16:26And there's enough heat trapped inside to melt that iceberg and flood Hope Island.
16:33She's right. And we cannot get back through the force field to help Gaia.
16:38Maybe we can.
16:40That exhaust pipe passes through the field.
16:42We can break it loose from the barge and go through it.
16:45I will ram it with the eco-sub. Everybody below.
16:53Help!
16:58It did not work.
17:00Yeah. We're in a whale of trouble.
17:03Wheeler, that is it.
17:05What'd I say?
17:07Hart, help us break the pipe, my friend. Help us.
17:22Yay! Outstanding!
17:25Thank you, my friend.
17:27Yeah. Head for Hope Island.
17:30We'll be fighting the water pressure, so full speed ahead.
17:34We must get to Gaia. Quickly.
17:37The iceberg is melting.
17:41Gaia won't last long now.
17:44Gaia, where are you? Gaia?
17:48Gaia, where are you? Gaia?
17:52Gaia!
17:54Oh, no.
18:00You must save Hope Island. There's not much time.
18:05Gaia!
18:11We must get Gaia to high ground.
18:15Dr. Blight, aren't we going to stick around to watch Hope Island go under?
18:21No need, my microchipper friend. It's already on the rocks.
18:30Just think of the disasters when I melt the polar ice caps.
18:34Today, Hope Island. Tomorrow, the world.
18:39The water just keeps rising. What can we do?
18:43We cannot summon Captain Planet through the force field.
18:47Aim your rings into the water. It will carry your message.
18:56Let our powers combine.
19:02Fire!
19:04Wind!
19:07Water!
19:10Heart!
19:19By your powers combined,
19:25I am Captain Planet!
19:29Go, Planet!
19:31Captain Planet, we were afraid you couldn't handle all this air pollution.
19:36My powers are weak, but maybe I can borrow power. The sun's power.
19:46Better be cool if I'm going to focus these solar rays.
20:02Someone must have broken your force field.
20:05Impossible.
20:07What?
20:09Are you sure you still want to melt the polar ice caps?
20:13Quick, Mal. Tell me everything I need to know about surfing.
20:16Just two words, Doctor.
20:18I'm out!
20:31Captain Planet
20:46It's so nice to feel cool again.
20:50But what about all that carbon dioxide pollution Dr. Blight releases into the air?
20:56I can't undo all that. And around the world, more is added every day.
21:01That's why it's so important to burn less of those fuels that pollute the atmosphere and make Earth hotter.
21:07Can people stop this?
21:09We must. The power is yours.
21:14Go, Planet!
21:18You can help fight the greenhouse effect.
21:21The less gas, wood, oil, and coal we burn...
21:26The less greenhouse gases we put into the air.
21:29And get your neighborhood to plant trees. Or plant one yourself.
21:34Trees absorb carbon dioxide, the worst greenhouse gas.
21:38Be cool and keep our planet from getting too hot. The power is yours.
21:47Wind!
21:48Water!
21:49Go, Planet!
21:51By your powers combined, I am Captain Planet!
21:54Captain Planet, he's our hero
21:58Gonna take pollution down to zero
22:01He's our power's magnified
22:04And he's fighting on the planet's side
22:08Captain Planet, he's our hero
22:12Gonna take pollution down to zero
22:15Gonna help him put us under
22:18Bad guys who like to loot and plunder
22:23You'll pay for this, Captain Planet!
22:26We're the Planeteers, you can be one too
22:29Cause saving our planet is the thing to do
22:33Looting and polluting is not the way
22:36Hear what Captain Planet has to say
22:40The power is yours!
22:45Deek!
