It is without the slightest hint of irony or sarcasm that we say this: A "Captain Planet" movie is coming, and we are pumped. Like raw sewage right into a riverbed pumped (okay, so that last bit was a 'lil cheeky, but we do mean it to say this is majorly exciting news).

'Cause it was a thing for us '80s babies, you know? Right at around 7:00 a.m., just before our bedraggled bedheads had to throw on our vinyl little backpacks and stamp down to the bus stop for a long, hard day — that moment when the cereal was just starting to mush — the power was ours.

And now all that globe-saving ecological awareness will live to indoctrinate another generation of little planeteers via the big screen, as Sony Pictures is currently sealing a deal to acquire the rights to adapt the polluter-smackdown series.
