Final mini-series
-
We now know the significance of Ma-ti's headdress. We also find out that the Shaman is Ma-ti's grandfather. In addition, we see that Ma-Ti isn't a full-blown Indian. His father is a native of the Kayapo, and his mother is of Hispanic decent. Therefore, all of the major ethnic groups are represented within the Planeteers.
-
There have been some notable upgrades made in animation, and a few changes: - Captain Planet's Planet Crest on his chest is more like a circle, than an oval, and has a black border. -There are some upgrades on the sounds of the Planeteers' rings, and rather than Ma-Ti's and Kwame's powers coming out in ripples, they shoot out straight. -New opener -New ending, with clips of the exploits of the later seasons, but same song.
