Prevalent in the show's theme was the concept of personal responsibility: Captain Planet's Catchphrase was "The power is yours!" Aesops! When they are inevitably unable to deal with problems individually, they combine their powers into a single unstoppable entity: Captain Planet.Ĭaptain Planet and the Planeteers (1990 to 1996) underwent several small revisions over the course of its run - it was renamed The New Adventures of Captain Planet during its 1993 to 1996 run, which coincided with a change in production companies (from DiC to Turner-owned Hanna-Barbera) - but the tone of the show always focused on the environment, often with An Aesop about the environment note though other topics like violence or AIDS received their Aesops as well near the close of each episode. The eponymous Planeteers are a Multinational Team of teenagers imbued with Elemental Powers to stop pollution using the power of.
The brainchild of Barbara Pyle and Ted Turner (though most of the actual development work on the show was done by DiC producers Phil Harnage and Nicholas Boxer, as well as Pyle herself), Captain Planet and the Planeteers was an attempt to provide a show which would entertain younger viewers, while simultaneously educating them about taking care of the environment.
