In the liner notes, The Powerpuff Girls creator Craig McCracken says that these are the acts he listens to while coming up with ideas for the show; so in a way, Heroes & Villains is a feedback loop of inspiration. As can be expected from someone who can come up with a turbaned evil-genius monkey and a trio of criminal-wannabe amoebae, the lineup is a bit eclectic, with contributions from Devo, Shonen Knife, Frank Black, and Cornelius.

Even at 74 minutes, "Powerpuff Girls" feels more than a little padded and repetitive. Still, the slam-bang superheroics are kinetic enough to engross even the most antsy youngsters. (The MPAA gave the pic a PG for "nonstop frenetic animated action.") The overall visual scheme of the TV series created by Craig McCracken -- pic's director, co-writer and executive producer -- has been faithfully preserved for the bigscreen. The hand-drawn animation is deliberately skittish and herky-jerky, which clearly is intended as part of the joke.
