Dear children of the '80s,
I heard a rumor last week that Warner Bros. studio had announced a live-action film version of the '90s cartoon series Captain Planet and was planning to release it in late 2009.
Captain Planet, you say? Why, he's our hero! (Wasn't he gonna take pollution down to zero?)
Sadly, though, I must report that I then contacted the Warner folks (and their bros) and found out that this rumor is, in fact, "untrue."
I know, I know. I too am crushed. But before you get your superhero-tights in a bunch, consider this: perhaps by our powers combined we could petition them to reconsider?
Planeteerly,
Sarah

Just as he turned to leave, he turned back, melodramatically pointed at us, and said in the Captain Planet voice, "The power is YOURS!" High comedy.

And from the same source, another not unremarkable cartoon:

Chickens are our cousins! So are fish! So are other sentient animals! Let us learn to be kind.

Can we get Bucky Fuller as the secret leader of the team, working from his cryogenic freezer in an underground bunker in Antarctica?
This Capn planet thing just needs a rewrite. Rev up the blog and it's a done deal.

"We're the Planeteers
You can be one too
'Cause saving our planet is the thing to do!"
But apparently making a movie about saving the planet isn't the thing to do for Warner Bros.
Perhaps I could round up that old tape and send it off as part of a petition to Hollywood?
