Captain Planet and the Planeteers

Redmage1987 · 06-13-2014, 01:00 AM

Who here used to watch and enjoy Captain Planet? I loved it as a kid and I still like it nowdays too. I don't like it as much as TMNT, Power Rangers, or Teen Titans, but it's still a good show, in my opinion.

One episode that I'll always remember is "Meltdown Syndrome", it was an episode my Dad had recorded on to a VHS Tape along with many other cartoons since I couldn't watch them while I was at school.

Anyone hear about the live action movie coming out eventually? I don't think there's much to follow yet, but I'm sure I'll check it out when it's done.

I loved this show! The eps featuring his evil clone Captain Polution were some of my faves

Totally - Captain Planet was a terrific show! As far as I know, the live action movie is stuck in development hell but if they ever do make it, my butt's got a date with a cinema seat!

I've been watching a lot of 'em on Youtube again. Always loved any ep with Blight or Zarn as the villians.

Also found "Greenhouse Planet" on an old VHS tape from my childhood where they team up with a President that was meant to represent George Bush Snr. It's an interesting ep because it shows what happens when Planet only has two powers to work with (in this case, Earth and Heart)

I loved this show so much when I was a kid and thought it was pretty good. I know there's a live-action movie coming out, but I'm surprised the cartoon hasn't been re-booted especially with all of the environmental issues being discussed today such as climate change.

i want this on netflix

I liked it - I know that cartoons are supposed to be toy-selling vessels but I like it when they try to put something educational in there too, or at least something geared towards telling viewers that it's cool to care about things and be a decent person!

I know, I'm an enormous cheeseball...

When I was younger, I liked it at first. Then after a while I actually started to hate it.
