Here is another favorite Season 1 episode of "Captain Planet and the Planeteers." And also, I didn't know that it was intended to be the pilot episode. As for the storyline, it is really simple: the Planeteers are stopping Looten Plunder (in his first appearance) from turning all of Africa's elephants into jewelry and trinkets, including the mother of a lost calf they had found and dubbed "Sneezer." I should commemorate the voice talents of James Coburn (Looten Plunder).
I know I have said it many times; I really don't have anything else to say, but as an animal lover, I have to agree with Kwame: I couldn't imagine a world without elephants or any of the other wonderous creatures on God's good earth. Like I'm thinking of my 4-year-old nephew's generation. They might never see those endangered species if we don't do something. Also, I thought Sneezer was a cute baby elephant. Though how the Planeteers knew she was a female calf is beyond me, oh well. Overall, this is another fave episode of "Captain Planet and the Planeteers" from Season 1. My last words are that if some people think this episode is a tad preachy, I think this episode will enlist people's sympathies for the elephant population.
