Captain Planet: The Movie
August 14th 2011 05:02
By Cartoon Network and Angry Filmwork’s powers combined, here comes Captain Planet – the movie. Continuing the trend in making movies of nineties animated favourites, Captain Planet and the Planeteers is apparently in development to hit the big screen in live action.
A popular example of nineties educational entertainment for children, the show’s hero was a ripped man with blue skin and green hair who used his superpowers to fight the evils of eco-terrorists along with his band of multi-national youths, who each possessed a different power contained in a magic ring (Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Heart!) Together they had the ability to put a stop to natural disasters, pollution, and AIDS discrimination.
With knock-you-over-the-head allegories and messages of social and environmental ethics, the show sought to educate children about the dangers of greed and getting on the wrong side of Mother Earth.
The original TV series was voiced by such well-known celebrities as Whoopi Goldberg, Martin Sheen, Jeff Goldblum, Meg Ryan, Tim Curry, Sting, Malcolm McDowell and Elizabeth Taylor.

I vaguely remember seeing bits and pieces of this on TV. Didn't know that so many celebrities were involved. Love it that one of them was Sting.
Hope all is well in your universe, Mich!
