The Powerpuff Girls - The Movie

This is a movie about how the Powerpuff Girls were born, and the events that transpired to make them the super-heroine saviors of their home, Townsville. The movie is an outstanding, brilliantly animated story with "non-stop frentic action" (which is why it is rated PG) that seems to parody the entire genre of super-hero comics. The good guys always win in the end, and the bad guys go straight to jail. One of my favorite things about the TV show is that they completely skip the judicial system. All of the bad guys go directly from crime to punishment. Each of the three main characters have a distinct attitude. And most anyone can identify with one of the girls. The movie shows us how the girls came into being, and how the antagonist for the television series came into being, and a bunch of other things that explain how the world of the Powerpuff girls television show came into being. The animation is great. It was drawn mostly by hand, with the aid of computer graphics in a few spots. The music is an amazing combination of electronic and symphonic music that matches the moods of the movie perfectly. There are some good lessons in life in the movie for little girls, and the movie is power-packed with action and fighting for little boys to enjoy. And those of us who haven't forgotten how much fun it was to be a kid can really escape in to this fantasy world created by Craig McCracken. The story is a lot of fun and consistent with the television show stories (down to the last detail). And Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup are the 3 cutest cartoon characters I have ever seen. The characters' drawings were based on the 60s posters of the little children with the huge eyes. The one setback: no wide-screen version. Only full-screen. I wish they had more college students in the focus groups. Instead of a wide-screen version, they used the space on the DVD disk to put a feature-length director commentary, which was very interesting to watch. I really enjoyed hearing about director's thoughts as I watched the movie a second time. It also includes interviews with Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup, and Mojo-Jojo and the Mayor of Townsville, which were really fun to watch (it added even more depth to the character's personalities). This is the cutest movie I have ever seen, and I highly recommend it to anyone.

Right from the opening rock song pounding through the origins of our heroes, you know this is going to be entertaining. Powerpuff Girls seems like a standard kids show, but nothing could be further from the truth. It's surprisingly adult and funny. And the action is great. The movie is just as good, if not better. I watched it on a whim while it was still in theaters and I really enjoyed it. You need to own this if you're a fan of the show.

Sweet childhood memories....love the old powerpuff girls I hate that they remade the show they're ruining old childhood shows glad I can show my daughter the old ones!

My older daughters grew up watching this...my oldest decided her younger sister has to grow up with it too...so she bought it for her And they had a wonderful sister time watching it together ...

I liked this when I was a kid. I forgot about it for a while. And now I rediscover it, and what do you know, I still love it. The animation is simple yet beautiful, the voices don't grate on your nerves as they tend to do in some cartoons, and the villain is properly sinister. A great bad guy is important for any film, and Mojo Jojo doesn't disappoint here. Even if you haven't watched or even thought about the show for a while, pick this movie up, from your library if you have to. Give it a chance. You might find out you've not quite outgrown it.

Review of the product: With the new show out (which I don't watch), I felt the need to revisit this movie. As a kid, I watched this movie quite a few times, so this was a nice little nostalgic experience for me. Based on what I heard, this movie did horribly in the theaters back at its release. Personally, that makes me feel a bit sad. Possibly due to its lack of popularity there are very few releases of this movie on DVD and none on Blu Ray as of (June 2016). I struggled to find this in stores. I couldn't find a copy of this even in stores dedicated to selling used DVDs. As a result, I ended up ordering this from Amazon. To my knowledge, this movie is out of print. So if you want a brand new copy of this movie, good luck. Honestly, buying a used copy will be your best option, since they are much cheaper. But be sure that the DVD is in good condition before making a purchase. My copy has a super warn out case, covered in scuff marks and paint ware. But somehow, the disk is in near perfect condition, I'm grateful for that. These come in a cardboard folding case with the title of each scene displayed on the inside. Note that this movie is NOT available in widescreen. This may bother some of you, but personally, I'm able to get passed this. Its punishment enough that they don't produce this movie at all anymore. I think that's a slightly bigger issue than not having it in widescreen. Review for the movie below. Review for the movie: This is a super short movie. Its roughly 1 hour and 15 minutes long. Which is barely long enough to qualify as a "feature length film" The movie is super simple (some may consider it a cliché of a story). This starts off by presenting the Powerpuff Girls origins story with a cinematic treatment. This is something most of us have already seen dozens of times from the TV show intro. From then on, the girls are learning about the new world, since they were born yesterday. Throughout, they learn life lessons, how to control their powers, and try to fit in with the world as by gaining their later known reputation as super heroines. The movie has a darker tone and is filled with some humorous pop culture references here and there. But honestly, I feel like the majority of this film felt rather gloomy. Most of the movie is spent with the girls down of their luck, and being mistreated and taken advantage of by other characters. This is a nit pick. But I would have preferred a Powerpuff Girls movie with more feel good moments, and a more light hearted relationship with other charcters.

I am so excited that I was able to find this on Amazon! My 3 and 5 year old daughters discovered PPG long after CN(Cartoon Network) aired this show and they love it. They watch this movie religiously and now want more. The package was brand spanking new and comes with an insert. This is a definite have for PPG collectors.

Nothing bad! My 3 year old watched this at a friends house and is now obsessed. Seeing as he can't write, I will tell you that he loves the whole super hero thing, so this has gone down a treat.

super
