There was clearly a big budget behind it and no doubt the hope was that it would become a highly profitable media franchise. I had no idea that actors like Whoopi Goldberg, Meg Ryan, and Jeff Goldblum lent their voice talents to characters, as did many more. Something I was surprised to learn while looking back into the series was the star power behind it - at least in the earlier seasons. A lot of media at the time had similar themes, such as the short-lived Widget the World Watcher and certainly video games like Global Gladiators and the more notorious Awesome Possum. It was one of those shows that I watched, though I didn’t really like it because it was on television after school, and I wasn’t allowed to play video games during the school week.Ĭaptain Planet wasn’t alone. I certainly have nothing against the environment, but the show’s message was so lacking in nuance that it provoked the opposite reaction. Players: 1 Released: 1992Ĭaptain Planet and the Planeteers was a 1990s animated series with environmental propaganda so blatant that I often found myself wishing the success of the antagonist’s ludicrous schemes to pollute the world for no reason.
