The Planeteers are back this fall and ready to storm home video, with Captain Planet: The Complete Franchise.
By your powers combined…
We have to admit, we can’t remember the last time that we saw an episode of Captain Planet in any physical format. Sure it’s available digitally, but when was the last time that the popular, eco-friendly 90s superhero was on physical media? While we don’t know the answer to that, we can say that it’s never been on DVD, at least according to Warner Bros.
But if you’re a fan, you’ll soon be able to upgrade your old VHS’ (wait, was it even on VHS?), with Captain Planet: The Complete Franchise. Seeing delivery as a DVD set, all 113 episodes of the show will be included, bringing over 43 hours of content to audiences for the first time on the format.
Captain Planet first debuted on television in 1990, and presented a planet-defending superhero who could be created by a set of five magical rings. The kids show was a popular one, and starred a voice cast that included show biz legends like Martin Sheen, Meg Ryan, Whoopi Goldberg, and LeVar Burton.
The Planeteers, five teenagers from different parts of the earth, each receive a ring of elemental power–earth, wind, water, fire or heart–to combat eco-villains everywhere in the world. And when they combine the powers of their rings, a new superhero, Captain Planet, is created, with powers far greater than the sum of the five.
