New Adventures of Captain Planet, The

Pros: Environmental message, multicultural cast, stresses cooperation and unity
Cons: "Spirit of the Earth" may be offensive to some; standard dismal dialogue and cheesy animation

Remember when Wavy Gravy said the Nineties were going to make the Sixties look like the Fifties? When large-scale Earth Day celebrations were revived? When everything was made of recycled paper all of a sudden, and companies jumped on the...

Pros: Great cartoon
Cons: A tad preachy

It was the early nineties and people were looking for a new cartoon. Now, the Transformers had already been out of style for some time, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were flopping in the box office. This was the environment Captain Planet...

Pros: Can't think of any
Cons: Silly and subversive

Just when I thought Captain Planet had disappeared into cartoon oblivion, up he pops again with a whole slew of new adventures. Haven't we had ENOUGH??

Talk about subversive; this junk is subversive. According to this show, there are all...

Pros: Great Idea. Teaches kids elements of preservation and ecology.
Cons: Wheeler was a fool...some times I wished he would light himself on fire.

Hello again Fans and Friends to another fun-filled Mister White Review!
Who out there can remember Captain Planet? I probably could remember that whole catchy theme song if I really put my mind to it...

"Captain...

Pros: only 23 minutes to suffer through
Cons: in 23 minutes you could write two epinions and make 6 cents!

Pooh is dead, at least the Pooh I knew. (I'll get to Cpt. Planet in a minute.) My Pooh was a gently confused bear lollygagging around in a sweet little forest with his friends, enjoying sweet non-adventures, eating honey. El neuvo Pooh rolling out of...

Pros: Unique cartoon, educational with morals
Cons: Villains were silly, Captain Planet gets annoying

Captain Planet is quite a unique cartoon. I don't think it ever really became too popular, but the idea behind it was good: a cartoon that taught children about our environment and it's numerous problems, and ways to fix it. More cartoons should be made...

Pros: good message, nice attempt to raise awareness of environmental & social issues
Cons: mixed/oversimplified messages, poor designs & messages regarding villains

I loved this show when I was a kid. It got me genuinely interested in the environment, preserving endangered species, and basically being more earth-friendly. It struck me as, well, neat--five kids from around the world working to save Earth from...

Pros: Good message
Cons: Bad delivery, hokey themes, disfigured bad guys

Oh my. Captain Planet is BACK AGAIN... Thank goodness my children haven't figured this out yet. Ok, ok, I know I sound like an environmental disaster, just waiting to happen, but I had SUCH a hard time watching this show with them before... I just don't...

Pros: A cartoon with a great message about saving the environment. Why aren't there more shows like this?
Cons: Goofy dialouge. And sometimes goofy storylines; but it's a cartoon, what do you expect.

Captain Planet is the ultimate public service announcement with a lot of action. Captain Planet teaches environmental awareness to all of us out there; especially kids. Which is who needs to be taught; because no one else is going to teach them....

Pros: A good idea at first
Cons: Everything else

I don't really see why anyone would like Captain Planet. It does have an interesting idea, having a superhero that helps kids worry more about the earth, but it doesn't save the cartoon. It stars 5 teens, each one with their own Ring of Power. When...

Pros: It'll shut the kids up for a half hour
Cons: Poorly planned, quicky thrown together cartoon.

This show has to be the weakest most limp-wristed show you could ever let your kids watch! My kids watched it when they were younger, and now that they're adults now, they look back and think how stupid it was, and it didn't do jack to influence them ...
