About this listen

Welcome to The Toons Up North Podcast!! Get ready to blast back to the 90s with the iconic environmentalist superhero, Captain Planet! This classic cartoon series, which aired from 1990 to 1996, follows the adventures of five teenagers from different parts of the world who are tasked with protecting the planet from environmental villains. The show is set in a world where pollution, deforestation, and climate change are wreaking havoc on the planet. Gaia, the spirit of the Earth, sends five magic rings to five young people: Kwame from Africa, Wheeler from North America, Linka from Eastern Europe, Gi from Asia, and Ma-Ti from South America. When the five powers combine, they summon Captain Planet, a powerful superhero who fights to protect the Earth. Captain Planet was more than just a cartoon - it was a movement. The show tackled real-world environmental issues and inspired a generation of kids to take action. With its catchy theme song and memorable characters, Captain Planet became a cultural phenomenon.
