Sick Product of a Sick System

Absolutely Brilliant!

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

This film brought them to their roots as the Kick Ass Girls. I loved the gritty feel and the fact that this film was definitely made for older fans. Craig McCracken really did it right.

I have to admit, I did not see this movie in theaters. Instead, I caught it on Cartoon Network after the initial release. So, it is the Powerpuff Girls formula we all know and love, but it does take a darker tone. I like the animation, the story, and even the darker tone. It is the perfect origin story for me (and the Youtuber RebelTaxi (also known as Pan Pizza)). It's a shame the movie bombed its theatrical release. But, we still got more episodes of the classic show.P.S. I'll have to check out the 2016 reboot series for myself. I hear it can't compare with the classic, but maybe it can stand on its own better than I hear.

In a town where evil doers roam free without anyone to stop them, Professor Utonium accidentally creates three beautiful little girls...with superpowers! Unfortunately, all isn't as simple as it looks. They have a lot to learn and a lot of challenges to overcome in order to become Townsville's famous superheroes.We're presented with the entire story of how the Powerpuff Girls were invented and all their perils from being unknown, hated and ultimately adored by everyone. It's a great cartoon movie with a pretty decent plot, some great action and drama but also a bit of soul. It lacks some of complexity and some events are prolonged unnecessarily while others are jumped like there wasn't a serious situation involved but overall it's a great Powerpuff movie. I surely enjoyed it!

Growing up, one of my favourite cartoons was 'The Powerpuff Girls' that I would constantly watch after school. When I heard of this film back in 2002, I was intrigued to see it but I didn't get around to seeing it due to its possible limited release in the UK. I once watched the first part of this on YouTube and it looked promising but when I watched it in full for the first time today after having purchased it in a quad-DVD pack alongside 'Laura's Star,' 'The Magic Sword: Quest for Camelot' and a collection of Dr Seuss cartoons, I was a bit disappointed since it didn't live up to my expectations that had me thinking it would be as good as the TV show.The strong points of this film include the majority of the characters from the series, the sharp, witty and smart dialogue, the beginning being a possible extension of the episode 'Mr Mojo's Rising, the girls having the same personalities as in the series, the animation being just as good as that in the series and the action sequences albeit the somewhat overlong tag sequence. I also saw it as an interesting 'prequel' to the series from the beginning but about halfway through, I didn't find it as engaging as the majority of the TV episodes although it was more entertaining than snore-fests 'Geschundfight' and 'Fuzzy Logic.' While Mojo Jojo was the main villain here, it also has brief appearances from Fuzzy Lumpkins and the Gang Green Gang. I can understand why Princess Morbucks and The Rowdyruff Boys are not included but it makes sense since they would be introduced in a time frame that would take place after the film's events. I found certain parts of this film similar to the series such as the girls being forbidden to use their superpowers (a la 'Mommy Fearest' and 'Town and Out') and Professor Utonium conducting his experiment (a la 'Mr Mojo's Rising'). Another part I like is the narration towards the end that is similar to that heard during the opening titles of the series since it adds a twist that links to Professor Utonium's opening experiment. Overall I didn't enjoy this quite as much as the series but it was still an interesting way to detail the origin of the Powerpuff Girls. 8/10.
