The power is yours!
[ People conversing in Spanish ]
Empty again?
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.
[ Dolphins chittering ]
Ugh!
Thank you, my dolphin friends.
[ Gasps ]
I 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!
[ Laughing ]
[ Snorting ]
[ Laughing ]
I sure got those
Indians hog-tied
with this
dolphin-spirit scam.
Yep, yep!
The way we're scaring off
the competition,
we'll end up the only ones
fishing these waters.
Thank you for coming.
No problem, Tico.
Yeah, but I still can't
believe Ma-Ti dragged us
halfway across the world
for some finned phantom.
You actually saw
this dolphin spirit?
I saw something.
Probably just swamp gas.
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.
I knew that.
Now river dolphins
are in danger of being shot
because they compete
with fishing.
What happened here?
Ranchers clear-cut the forest
to graze cattle.
Now mud and silt
are washing into the river.
Make sure you fish
out all the piranha.
How come we're collecting
these little cannibals, boss?
Health insurance.
Health insurance?
Yah!
These guys are bad
for your health!
Exactly.
Mmm.
Fresh sushi!
Look, boss.
Our other competition.
Huh?
[ Sputtering ]
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!
Just around this bend is
where I saw the dolphin spirit.
[ Chittering ]
Stop!
Water!
Let's move it!
-Come on!
-Hurry!
Oh, you poor thing.
Easy with him.
There you go.
[ Spitting ]
What do you think
you're doing?
We were about to ask you
the same thing.
I was just going
to cut out its eye.
How horrible!
Kwame: 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,
$3 for each dolphin eye.
Man, I can't believe
you'd kill this great fish,
uh, mammal for 6 bucks.
Actually, $3.
Only the left eye is lucky.
And I 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 I
will look around the area
where Tico saw
the dolphin spirit.
Ma-Ti: We will circle back
and pick you up later.
Kwame, over here.
It appears
that our dolphin spirit
has balloon tires.
And a hoggish appetite.
Greedly!
-Greedly!
[ Conversations in Spanish ]
[ Chittering softly ]
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.
I am not sure anyone will pay
for the eye of a baby.
Just say they're
good-luck charms for kids.
Uh-oh!
Yep, yep, yep.
Planet pests.
I got to tell the boss.
See ya.
Oh!
Time to put you
out of your misery.
Drop it!
-No!
-Oh, man!
It's only a baby!
-Here.
-Wait! Bring him back!
-Come back!
No, stop!
No, come back!
-Coming through!
-Excuse me!
-Excuse me!
-Excuse me!
Sorry!
Ugh!
My bananas!
What's he want
with the little guy?
Maybe he likes
dolphin meat.
Baby-dolphin burgers?
Yuck!
Ma-Ti: Stop! No! Wait!
Stop! Wait! Wait! Stop!
Come on.
We can catch him
with the Geo-Cruiser.
There he is!
-Over there!
-Oh, I can't watch!
-No, stop!
-Oh, no.
He's okay, Wheeler.
He didn't hurt
the dolphin.
Yeah, well,
he better not have.
Ugh, men.
You're letting it go?
Of course.
[ Chittering happily ]
I know how important
the dolphins are.
I worked
as a fisherman upriver.
Then commercial fleets
and other industry came.
-What happened?
-Well, the fish
and the animals
have started the disappear.
The river I grew up on
is dying.
I wanted
to preserve my home.
So I created a business
using my fishing boat
to show visitors the Amazon
and all of its beauty.
What a great idea.
When I heard that
this area was in trouble,
I came to help people
do the same thing here.
[ Laughter ]
Suchi, I think he's telling you
not to litter his home.
[ Greedly snorts ]
What are you
talking about?
A little pollution
never hurt anybody.
[ All scream ]
Now into
my am-pig-ious craft,
or I'll blow you
dolphin lovers to bits!
[ Laughing and snorting ]
I hope you're hungry.
We don't want your food.
Wasn't talking to you,
eco-ick.
I was talking to
my piranha pals.
They're hungry,
all right, boss.
Yep, yep! Starved!
-Don't worry.
They'll be chowing down
on Planeteer-ios real soon.
Nobody's making
a planet burger out of me.
Now, cut that out.
Well,
what do we got here?
I bet this chopper's
worth some copper.
[ Grunts ]
Give that back!
Stealing a dolphin's tooth
will only bring you bad luck.
News flash -- I'm not the one
with the bad luck!
-No!
-You can't do this!
Now, stock the pond,
Rigger,
so our guests
won't have to swim alone.
Gee, boss, I'm gonna miss
these little flesh chompers.
Don't worry.
Once they've been fattened
on eco-d'oeuvres,
we'll just cruise by
and pick 'em up.
-Piranhas!
-Aah!
I thought my fishy friends
would enjoy
a candlelight supper.
Bon appétit, piranha!
-No!
-You can't do this!
[ All yelling ]
Glad you could drop in
for dinner!
[ Laughing ]
Now, the dolphin spirit
is going to dynamite
every last dolphin in the river!
-Look!
-Kwame, the Geo-Cruiser!
It looks like
they found Greedly.
Or Greedly found them.
I'm packed too tight.
I -- I can't
get my hands free.
Oh, what a way to go.
Wheeler: We aren't gone yet.
Look!
Wheeler's knife!
Come on, Flipper!
Flip it here!
Hurry, fella.
[ All yelling ]
-Suchi!
-Suchi!
Suchi, get the knife
over there!
Hurry, Suchi!
[ Chittering angrily ]
Suchi! The knife!
-Come on now, Suchi!
-Hurry, my friend!
-Come to me!
-You can do it.
Suchi,
free Linka's hands.
Good boy, Suchi.
Got it! Wind!
Whoa! Hey!
I 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!
[ All cheering ]
Need a lift?
* I'll be blowing up
the dolphins *
* All the livelong night
* I'll be blowing up
the dolphins *
* Rigger, get it right
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 downriver.
Then it's one bomb
every few seconds
till I've wiped out
all the competition.
[ Laughing ]
[ Water splashes ]
Whew.
Aah!
Hey! Be careful
with those things!
-There!
-Take her low, Kwame!
I'm gonna char me
some pork chops.
[ Screams ]
Kwame, Wheeler's
in the river.
If another bomb blows...
Then,
let our powers combine.
Earth!
[ Sputtering ]
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
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!
Trouble is, these things
are gonna blow faster
than I can dunk and throw.
Whoa! Careful, friend.
Animals, like children,
shouldn't play
with explosives.
Nice pitch.
Planet goes back to pass.
It's a long bomb!
Oh, I get it.
You don't want to play.
You want to help.
Well, okay.
But it takes more than two
to make a winning team.
People of the river, help me.
One little, two little,
three little hand grenades.
Four little, five little,
six little hand grenades.
Seven little...
whoa.
Huh, I guess these aren't
timed to go off yet.
I can fix that.
[ Inhales deeply ]
Thanks, friends!
You're doing a bang-up job!
[ All cheering ]
Enjoying the light show,
Planeteers?
That should be
the last of 'em.
Put it right over
the plate, pal.
Unh-unh.
Wait! Erma,
bring the bomb back!
What's she doing?
It's gonna blow any second.
N-no more kabooms, boss.
And no more dolphins.
Now let's circle around
the other channel
and pick up
the piranha stash.
Hey, boss, looks like
one of 'em got away!
Wow!
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.
Hey! I said steady!
Say, boss, isn't that
one of our bombs?
Yep, yep!
That's what it was,
all right.
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!
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!
Whoa!
Whoa!
Let go, you fanger-on!
Have a snack.
Now maybe my luck
will change.
Maybe not! Aah!
[ Chomp! ]
Aah!
Get it off!
Get it off!
Looks like the fish
are really biting today.
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.
All: Go, Planet!
Gi: The best weapon
against the problems
facing our planet today
is information.
The more we know about
the energy crisis,
pollution and
disappearing resources...
The more we can do to help.
Television is also a great way
to learn about other cultures
so we can understand
each other better.
Read, watch the news
and share what you learn
with your family and friends.
Knowledge is power.
And the power to make
a better world is yours!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
All: 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's side *
* Captain Planet
* He's our hero
* Gonna take pollution
down to zero *
* Gonna help him put asunder
* 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!
I am Captain Planet!
* Captain Planet,
he's the man *
* Leading the charge,
Earth's number-one fan *
* Check him out,
you're gonna see *
* He's the mega mac daddy
of ecology *
* Cap's the hero
with the gumption *
* Takes on the overpopulation
and consumption *
* Yeah, he could use
a better groomer *
* Some people say
he's got a bad sense of humor *
[ Singsong voice ]
I'm back!
* But when Eco-villains
run amok *
* Plundering and pillaging,
yuk *
* Cap's here
to level the playing field *
* With a PhD
in sustainable yield *
* But he's not the only hero
for Earth *
* Gaia's wisdom
gave the Planeteers birth *
* Wheeler's the fire,
Ma-ti's got heart *
* Gi's got the power
to make waters part *

so we can understand
each other better.
Read, watch the news
and share what you learn
with your family and friends.
Knowledge is power.
And the power to make
a better world is yours!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
All: Go, Planet!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
