Powerpuff Girls: Powerpuff Girls Movie
built 230 days ago
There are few cartoons today that are able to amuse both adults and children, and the Cartoon Network's The Powerpuff Girls is one of them. This is a show about three cute little girls, with huge heads and eyes and no fingers, who save the day yet need to be home by bedtime. It is weird but fun mix of violence, superheroics, and cuteness that has attracted a diverse fan base. The Powerpuff Girls movie is their origin, detailing just exactly how they got their super powers. The movie ... retains the feel of the movie by keeping the animation style and spirit. The spirit element is the most important.

The Powerpuff Girls Movie is actually a prequel to all those TV episodes, detailing the Girls' accidental creation by the well-meaning but ineffectual Professor Utonium (voice of Tom Kane). With huge round heads dominated by Keane-like eyes, and tiny bodies and hands with no discernible fingers, these child mutants are color-coordinated for easy identification: The red one is the level-headed Blossom, the green one is the hot-tempered, combative, inaptly named Buttercup, and the blue one is the innocent, vulnerable Bubbles. The movie follows what happens when Professor Utonium first sends them out into the world, as a game of tag at their school prompts them to get carried away with their mighty powers and destroy whole sections of town. Spurned by the community--the town paper brands them "bug-eyed freaks"--they are easily seduced by the monkey Mojo Jojo, the Professor's onetime pet who himself became a brainy mutant in the lab accident that produced the Girls. Unwittingly, they abet Mojo's evil plan to create an army of super-monkeys, but the Girls ultimately take responsibility for their actions and battle Mojo and his simian invaders.

Powerpuff Girls creator, Craig McCracken, originally named his series "The Whoopa-- Girls." Saner heads seem to have prevailed and the cartoon was renamed before it made it big. That’s not relevant to this movie except to further point out that violence plays a very large role here. Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup spill their milk violently and they wipe it up violently. There’s no room for talking. No space for resolution.

Jul 3, 2002 | "The Powerpuff Girls Movie," the big-screen version of the hugely popular Cartoon Network show created by Craig McCracken, shows little girls they can be and do anything they want. That, allegedly, is its redeeming social value. Forget all that: Any animated movie can have an embedded message, but not many cartoons these days are such sheer delight to look at.

Oh, and The Powerpuff Girls Movie looks great, too. The animators maintain the show's signature stylized animation and wild color palette while at the same time upping the ante. A particular standout is the girls' self-imposed banishment in outer space; the (mostly) black-and-white sequence is all the more striking due to its sharp contrast to the rest of the film's vivid hues.
