Captain Planet Movie

Sony Pictures will reportedly release the live-action Captain Planet movie that's being developed by producers Mark Gordon, Don Murphy and Susan Montford.
The film will be based on the groundbreaking, environment-saving animated hero of the 1990s animated TV series Captain Planet and the Planeteers. In an effort to inform younger viewers about serious environmental issues, legendary cable entrepreneur Ted Turner partnered with DIC Enterprises in 1990 to create the world's first animated environmental series, Captain Planet and the Planeteers.

The series was about a group of young people who combine their special powers (The Planeteers) to summon Captain Planet, an environmental superhero, to battle the world's worst eco-villains.

Captain Planet was one of my favourite cartoons when I was a kid so at first I was excited by the news and then I read that it would be live action and that ruined it. Now we are going to see some guy painted blue with green hair and look like a complete fool. Why do they feel the need to make all these great cartoons into live action films rather than just making an animated film?

I always thought that this show should have made a comeback in recent years due to the increase in the environmental movement. Wouldn't have been that hard or expensive to get syndication rights again and start running it worldwide.

Now let us relive the great catchy theme song

I love this show when I was a kid, but this is going to be absolutely terrible.

I don't think they should do it. Just going to hurt.

Loved the cartoon as a kid, but I do agree that this probably won't work. Not only from a visual standpoint, but they're 15-20 years too late capitalizing on the show's popularity for it to be anything but a straight to DVD venture.

I'll wish for the best, but I'm expecting the worse

Don Cheadle makes that blue paint & green hair work somehow.

Anyways, I have a little personal soft spot for this cartoon. But on the other hand, it is a PG Toxic Avenger.
