Captain Planet set to return in the live action film

To quote a popular frog, it's not easy being green. Fortunately for the environmentalist oppressed, we are inspiring role models that make green seems the easiest option-Zac Goldsmith, Al Gore, sweetcorn-flogging jolly Green Giant. Heroes all, really.

So, can you imagine how much we were listening to the best of all, Captain Planet, is soon to return to our screens in treating film live all kinds of extreme weather events.

For those of you unaware of better eco-warrior, Captain Planet Cartoon Network first wave in 1990 with the catchy, "Captain Planet, he is a hero. Theme song "gonna take pollution down to zero".

Of course you will remember that the good Captain was supported by a team of five Planeteers sports rings representing the Earth, fire, wind, water and, er, heart. From our memory is very sketchy in the series, we're pretty sure about half of the episodes were spent consoling the suffering which had understandably boy chose the ring of heart and he assures that his "powers" were a vital part of the entire operation, before giggles behind his hands.

In any case, Hollywood Royalty is out in force with producers Don Murphy and Susan Montford, fresh from the supervision of testosterone-fest Transformers: dark side of the Moon, aboard for "a spectacular series of films".

Of course, the climate debate has moved on since the 1990s, CP so, as we like to call it, will face pollution not only, but a series of extreme weather events. Heck, he will probably come up with a successor to the Kyoto Protocol while he is it.

"With the earthquakes, whirlwinds, melting iceberg and all the problems that threaten the world really need now, Earth's greatest defender," said Montford.

If they do you rope in the dizzying array of guest stars frankly that populated the series, Whoopi Goldberg, Meg Ryan, Martin Sheen and Sting is still unknown.

Still, we have creative juices flowing and you can rest assured that one episode where he takes our hero from blue skin on his new nemesis Eric Pickles is already winging its way to the production company.
