Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Tom Cruise was the original choice to voice "Captain Planet".

Answer: True

Tom didn't like all the corny lines in the script, so he walked away. DIC Enterprises found David Coburn to be the new voice. Coburn at the time did another cartoon for DIC, "New Kids On The Block" (He voiced Nikko the dog and Donnie Wahlberg). Coincidentally, Scott Menville (Ma-Ti) was also doing "New Kids On The Block" with Coburn. Scott voiced Joey Joe McIntyre.

2. Hoggish Greedley was voiced by what "Mary Tyler Moore" actor?

Answer: Ed Asner

Lou Grant himself voiced the eco-villain.

3. Which episode did Elizabeth Taylor guest voice on?

Answer: A Formula For Hate

She played Todd's mother who learns that he has AIDS.

4. On the opening spiel in the entire series, Linka's home is in the Soviet Union.

Answer: False

On season three, they changed it from the Soviet Union to Eastern Europe.

5. What do the episodes "Jail House Flock" and "Don't Drink The Water" have in common?

Answer: The Planeteers drove Eco-Cycles

Dream on if you said Wheeler and Linka kissing! The Planeteers got to drive their solar powered motorcycles on those two episodes only.

6. Which super villain appeared on the episodes "Mission To Save Earth" and "A Mine Is A Terrible Thing To Waste"?

Answer: Captain Pollution

Created by five evil rings, the eco-villains combined their powers to summon Captain Pollution (also voiced by David Coburn).

Answer: True

In 1993, "Captain Planet" moved from DIC to Hanna-Barbera. It also had a new title, "The New Adventures of Captain Planet".

Answer: True

Goldberg did her when it was DIC while Kiddor voiced her on the Hanna-Barbera version.

9. On the very first two episodes, what piece of clothing was missing from Captain Planet?

Answer: His boots

Guess the artists overlooked that. The environmental super hero was bootless on the first two episodes.

Answer: True

They had eight kids. The Bradfords, they aren't!

Wheeler was Fred, Linka was Wilma, Ma-Ti was Barney, Gi was Betty while Kwame was Dino.

12. On "Jail House Flock", Captain Planet played the guitar while he was in jail.

Answer: False

He played the harmonica. But it would've been cool to have Captain Planet rock out on a guitar and sing!

13. On the sixth and final season, Fred Schneider sang the opening theme song.

Answer: True

The "B-52's" member performed that tune.

14. Which Planeteers were trapeze artists in "Five Ring Pandamonium"?

What a pair they made and those trapeze tights were so cool!
