Captain Planet:
The power is yours!

[ Dogs barking, whimpering ]

Well, this batch
is looking good.

Good? They're deformed.
They're not malamutes.

They're mala-mutants.

Ah, who cares
about quality?

I'm breeding for quantity.

[ Laughs evilly ]

I've genetically
engineered these BROOD dogs

to make bigger litters
faster.

Puppies by the millions.

[ Growling ]

Now, these are
perfect specimens.

Wrong, Dr. Franken-Blight.

On the surface, they look fine.

But my scanner shows
their internal organs

are a frightful mess.

Who cares?
Some bumpkin will buy them

before any illness shows up.

Ouch!

Hmm, friendly
little nippers, aren't they?

They'll make
perfect guard dogs.

Huh, speaking
of guard dogs,

how about feeding yours
once in a while?

They can always take
a couple of bites

out of a smart-mouth
computer.

[ Dogs barking, whimpering ]

Oh, Slasher, Lasher,
mommy's here.

[ Growling ]

Want some yummies?

[ Growling continues ]

[ Laughs ]

Dumb animals!

Aah!

-Oops. Doggy got loose.
-Back off, bow-wow.

[ Electricity crackling ]

[ Whimpering ]

Your electric-collar invention
works shockingly well.

Mm, now to check on
my puppy production line.

10 puppies,
14 puppies, 15.

One?

News flash,
Doctor Dearest,

not all your guinea-dogs

are popping out
multiple mongrels.

Well, then she can starve
like the other non-producers.

What about the pup?

Toss it inside,
and I'll use it later

in one of my experiments.

Brr, she's cold.

[ Whimpering ]

[ Whimpering, snarling ]

[ Sniffles, sobs ]

We're here to say goodbye
to a dear friend

and faithful companion.

You will be
sorely missed.

You were
a great dog, Skippy.

I'm sure sorry, cuz.

He was only --
he was only 6 months old.

I can't believe this happened
while his folks are away.

You did everything
you could, Wheeler.

The vet said
Skippy had birth defects.

Yeah. Well,
I'm taking Joey

to get another pup
if he's ready.

We'll come along.

Hang in there, Joey.

The power is yours.

[ Indistinct talking ]

Look at all
the cute pups.

[ Dogs whimpering,
birds squawking ]

[ Door closes ]

These puppies seem to young
to be away from their mothers.

Can I help you?

Yeah. My cousin got
a boxer pup here recently.

He died.

I'm really sorry.

To tell the truth,
we sell a lot of sick dogs.

I'll help these people,
Ms. Sanders.

Too bad about your puppy.

So what are you
gonna do about it?

There are no guarantees
with living things.

That's it, after we spent
a fortune on vet bills?

I'd be happy
to replace the animal.

But I don't have any boxers now.
So if you'll excuse me...

Hey! We're not finished.

He doesn't care.

I'll catch you at home.

Don't worry, Joey.

We'll find you a new pup.

[ Dogs whimpering ]

Where do you get
your puppies?

Um, uh, many, uh,
different breeders.

Uh, excuse me.

Yeah, that guy's
one big "excuse me."

[ Dogs whimpering ]

Yeah, yeah.
It's a dog's life.

Tell your boss
that last shipment

had too many
sick puppies.

We give you replacements
for the dogs that bite it.

Besides, you get
what you pay for.

Puppies By The Millions?

I bet that's where
Skippy came from.

Wheeler: I've handled eco-creeps
and toxic spills.

But I can't keep track of
a 10-year-old kid.

He wasn't at the mall.

[ Sighs ] Where is he?

The place you're looking for
is just down the dirt road.

Take it easy, Wheeler.

A boy fitting
Joey's description

bought a ticket to a town
50 miles south of here.

Why would he run away?

The man at the station
said they raise

lots of dogs out there.

A new Skippy.

[ Window hinges creak ]

[ Dogs whimpering ]

This is gross.

Poor pups.

I got to do something.

[ Door opens ]

[ Dog snarling ]

Freeze, puppy-napper,

or my little darling
will rip you apart.

Gotcha.

Ugh! Oh!

Sic 'em!

[ Snarling ]
[ Groans ]

[ Barking ]

[ Panting ]

Aah!

Nice of you to drop in.
Seal it, MAL.

Let me out!
Come on!

Slasher, Lasher,
feeding time.

Aah!

I'll be back

when they're fighting
over the bones.

[ Laughs evilly ]

[ Snarling ]

You guys are starving.

Good thing I brought along
some snacks.

[ Laughs ]

[ Dog whimpering ]

Hey.
Who are you?

It's okay.

I'll bet
you're hungry, too.

You're a real lady.

Hey, that's what
I'll call you -- Lady.

Woman: Sorry. I haven't
seen your cousin.

But if he got his puppy
from a pet store,

it most likely came from one
of the puppy mills around here.

What's a puppy mill?

Puppy mills are
basically puppy factories

that supply pet shops.

The owners treat dogs
as a cash crop.

Don't you sell
to pet stores too?

Oh, no.

And most reputable
kennels won't.

Why not?

Because we want to be sure
our pups get good homes,

so they don't end up abandoned.

It's sad,
but animal shelters destroy

millions of homeless dogs
and cats a year.

Millions?

Bohze moi.

[ Dogs barking ]

Yuck!
I never smelled so much dog --

Hold it right there!

Easy! We're just
trying to --

Get off
my property now!

Easy, Wheeler.
We'll come back later

and have a look around.

Man, it's cold.

Come here, pups.

How am I ever gonna
get you guys out of here?

[ Dogs barking ]

Uh-oh.

Heart.

That lady said
puppy mills were inhumane.

But it's worse
than I ever imagined.

Man:
Dang snooping kids,

you hold it right there
and keep quiet.

If you're looking
to shut this place down,

I'm already working on it.

I'm with the Humane Society.

Wow!
An undercover agent.

Hey, do you --
Wheeler, Joey.

Oh, yeah. We're just
looking for my cousin.

We think he's at one
of these puppy mills.

Not here.

But if you'll keep an eye out
while I gather evidence,

maybe I can help you
track him down.

No problem.

[ Dog barking ]

This dog looks
too young to be a mother.

Puppy mills start breeding
the females at 6 months.

They're still
puppies themselves.

They breed them every heat

until they're too sick
to continue.

Gi:
Then they're retired?

Permanently.
They're destroyed.

Some way to treat
man's best friend.

Why are these puppy mills
permitted to stay in business?

You shut one down,
another reopens.

If people stop buying
their dogs from pet shops,

the puppy mills
will go out of business.

So we should get them
from a responsible breeder

like we met today?
That's good.

But the best place
is your local animal shelter.

Psst, trouble.

I warned you to get!

Darn kids,
just stay out of here!

I told you to go,
and I meant it!

This is for
the poor puppy dogs.

Wind!

I'll get them, boss!

[ Dogs whimpering ]

Oh, looky. He turned your
Rottweilers into rot-weenies.

[ Snarling ]

We'll see about that.

[ Electricity crackles ]

[ Whimpering, yelping ]

Stop! You're hurting them!

Aah!

That's the idea, genius.

Get out here.

Turn sweet on me,
will you?

Sorry to interrupt
play time with the pups.

But we have more
uninvited guests,

the pup-eteers.

-Wheeler!
-My, my.

Doggy boy appears
to know flame head.

You can help me
give the eco-snoops

a special welcome.

Let me go!

[ Snarls ]

Give it up.
Lassie you're not.

[ Whimpers ]

Wheeler: Man. This is the fourth
puppy mill we've been to.

Da, and each one is more
horrible than the last.

Man: This is plenty bad.

Oh, these animals look like
something out of 101 mutations.

Dr. Blight: You think
I'm cruel to animals, huh?

Wait till you see
what I do to people.

All: Dr. Blight!

Want to toast your friend
here, fire freak?

Ooh, I wouldn't want
to miss the eco-cuties

going to the dogs.

Slasher, Lasher,
attack.

No. Stop. They're friends.

Attack,
you miserable mutts!

[ Electricity crackles ]

No!

[ Growling ]

Sic them or fry.

[ Electricity crackles ]

Ugh!

Lady!

Get the cops.
We'll handle this.

Wind!

No fair!

Stop them!

[ Barks ]
Whoa, nice doggies.

[ Grunts ] Got it.
Now she can't hurt you.

But I can.

I'll just override
that little box

and take charge.

[ Electricity surging ]

[ Whimpering ]

Now attack those
eco-intruders.

[ Snarling ]

Easy, now.
Joey, no!

It's all right.
We'll help you.

Give them all you
got, MAL-ikins.

[ Whirring ]

[ Electricity crackling ]
Easy.

[ Snarling ]

Oh, no!

Uh, nice, Slashy.

Nice, Lashy.

Get away!

Bad doggies!

[ Barking ]

Time for plan B, MAL.

Destroy the evidence now!

Hot dog, literally.

[ Dogs barking, yelping ]

Move it, MAL, baby.

Whoa!

Easy, Lady.

You'll be okay.

Water.

The fire,
it's spreading too fast!

Then we must let
our powers combine.

Earth.

Fire.

Wind.

Water.

Heart.

By your powers combined,

I am Captain Planet!

What kind of coldhearted
beast imprisons pets?

Dr. Blight, of course.

You keep springing
the spaniels, Planeteers.

Mistreating animals really
gets me hot under the collar.

Easy, Lady.

[ Barks ]

Lady, wait!

Stop!

[ Barking ]

[ Whimpering ]

Wow. Your puppy.

[ Coughs ]

Let's get out of here.

[ Coughing ]

[ Whimpers ]

Joey! Joey!

I said it before,
and I'll say it again.

Smoking can kill you.

Don't try this at home, kids.

[ Dogs barking ]

[ Coughs ]

It would be a doggone shame
if the dogs were all gone.

Hey. Calm down,
my canine compadres.

You're safe now.

Joey, am I glad
to see you.

Thanks, Wheeler.

I just wish that witch
hadn't gotten away.

Actually, I think old
Blight's in the dog house.

[ Dogs barking, snarling ]

Watch it!

MAL, do something!

Hey.
It's a dog-eat-dog world.

I never thought I'd be
happy to see the law.

Shut the door!

What?
And abandon your pets?

Ow! Ooh!

[ Tires screech ]

[ Dogs whimpering ]

What's gonna happen
to all the dogs?

Some of them
are very sick.

They may have
to be put down.

[ Barking ]

Wait!
Don't take Lady!

Please, you've got to let me
have Lady and her pup.

Sorry, son.

The shelter has to
check them out first.

We've been through
three times.

Just one more, please.

Lady and her pup
have got to be there.

Joey, they told us
if she wasn't here,

then they had to...
[ Horn honks ]

Hey, Joey.
I'm sorry.

I thought I'd catch you
before you got here.

It wouldn't have
made a difference.

I think it would have.

[ Barking ]

Lady, pup, you made it!

[ Laughs ]

Slasher and Lasher
made it, too.

I'm taking them.

[ Barking ]

All right!
Hey. Come on. Cut it out.

Cut it out.

Earth!

Fire!

Wind!

Water!
Heart!

All: Go, Planet!

By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
