After some rumors of a live-action film adaptation, Mr. Soto Robinson will film premiere an anime movie based in the series.

Plot
In a not too distant future, the planet Earth seems menaced by the pollution, caused primarily by radiation, oil spill, animal hunting, deforestation, smog, toxins, and the hate of the humankind.

Knowing this situation, Gaia, the spirit of the Earth, sends five magic rings with the main elements to five youths: James Wheeler, from the United States, North America, with the power of Fire; Brock Kwame, from South Africa, with the power of Earth; Nadia Linka, from the Russian Federation, Europe, with the power of Wind; Xiaoyu Gi, from People Republic of China, Asia, with the power of Water; and André Ma-Ti, from Brazil, South America, with the power of Heart.

These five are dubbed the Planeteers and are tasked with defending the Earth from the greatest of disasters and making efforts to educate mankind to keep others from happening. Gaia uses her "Planet Vision" to discover where the most devastating destruction is occurring and sends the Planeteers to help solve the problem.

In situations that the Planeteers cannot resolve alone, they can combine their powers to summon Captain Planet, a magical entity who possesses all of their powers magnified, symbolizing the premise that the combined efforts of a team are stronger than its individual parts.

And now, when the Eco- Villains, a small group of antagonists who cause danger to Earth by committing pollution, deforestation, and poaching, menace the world with a plan of global domination, starting with the kidnapping of the President Tom Kimball, an honest man interested in the environment, only Captain Planet and the Planeteers can stop them.
