Sony Pictures has confirmed that it is on its way to making a live action movie adapted from the hit children’s cartoon, CAPTAIN PLANET!
The television show, called CAPTAIN PLANET AND THE PLANETEERS, was groundbreaking since it focused so heavily on environmental issues. It was created by cable entrepreneurTed Turner who teamed up with DIC Enterprises for the world’s first animated series focused on environmental issues.
The Planeteers were a group of youth with special powers who would use their abilities to call on Captain Planet in order to fight the worst eco-villains of the world. The show was created as a way to teach younger kids about how to be environmentally friendly and is now a cult hit.
