Plot Synopsis[]

The Planeteers investigate Sly Sludge's latest claim of solving the world's garbage problem and find him at a farm where he uses a shrink ray from Dr. Blight to shrink garbage to reduce its space-taking. He then turns the beam on them, shrinking them to the size of bugs and dumping them on his farm's garbage site. At their size, it is an endless sea of garbage with many hidden dangers.

Significant Moments and Facts[]

  • Sly Sludge reforms and gives up his polluting ways, thus, this is the last appearance of Sly Sludge, Ooze and Tank Flusher III. The only other villains to ever reform were Don Porkaloin, Hoggish Greedly Jr, MAL and Rigger.
  • Dr. Blight is mentioned in this episode and even plays a major role in the scheme, but she is never seen. She gets away scot-free with selling to Sludge the shrink ray without warning him that the effect was only temporary. This episode and Whoo Gives a Hoot are the only occasions in which an Eco-Villain wins.

Quotes[]

  • Wheeler: Okay, nobody panic! As long as we don't start suddenly gaining weight, we'll simply glide there!
  • Gi: Funny you should say that, because either this cockpit is getting smaller, or we're growing!
  • Ma-Ti: Sludge's shrink ray must be wearing off!
  • Wheeler: Great news! Lousy timing...
  • Ooze: HELP! Captain Planet! You gotta save us!
  • Captain Planet: Hmmm...that's a switch.
