Earth! Fire! Wind! Water! Heart! Get ready to relive the adventures of one of the most beloved educational superhero series of all time. For the first time ever, Captain Planet and the Planeteers and The New Adventures of Captain Planet are coming together in one complete DVD collection. This iconic franchise, created by Ted Turner and Barbara Pyle, captivated audiences in the early ’90s with its powerful environmental message and unforgettable characters.

Explaining Captain Planet to Gen Z
Captain Planet and the Planeteers introduced us to five teenagers from around the world, each gifted with a ring that harnesses the power of an element—earth, fire, wind, water, or heart. Together, they combat eco-villains threatening the environment. When the Planeteers combine their powers, they summon Captain Planet, a superhero with abilities far greater than the sum of the five elements.
Featuring an all-star voice cast including Martin Sheen, Meg Ryan, Whoopi Goldberg, and LeVar Burton, Captain Planet became a cultural phenomenon. The series received a Film Advisory Board Award of Excellence and expanded into a multimedia franchise with video games, toys, comic books, and more.
Beyond the screen, Captain Planet continues to inspire new generations to protect the environment through the Captain Planet Foundation. Established by Ted Turner and Barbara Pyle, the foundation has funded over 3,700 environmental projects worldwide, promoting hands-on education and activism.
