The Powerpuff Girls

[talonmalon333]

I was never the hugest fan of PPG in the first place, to be honest. It's good, I don't think it's great or anything like that. Plus, I got burned out on Mojo appearing in nearly every episode.

[Avaitor]

I don't think Mojo was THAT overdone, honestly. Not compared to Drakken and Shego in Kim Possible, anyway.

Or Vlad in Danny Phantom.

Finally, a promo for the special.

I dunno about you guys, but the animation feels a little off to me for everyone besides the girls themselves. Mojo's design feels wrong to me as well. Looks fun though, so we'll see.

[Silverstar]

I saw the trailer; the animation looks like a cut scene from a video game, like PlayStation 1 era.

This, no McCracken and yet another Mojo focused story. The more I see of this special, the less enthusiastic I am for it.

I saw the trailer; the animation looks like a cut scene from a video game, like PlayStation 1 era.

I'm actually glad I wasn't the only one who thought that.


And besides not having Craig McCracken at the helm anymore, what's bothering me the most in that promo is the character design re-invention.. ugh... It'll take some getting used to.

On the upside, apparently the same voice cast will be returning.

[Goldstar]

Why even make the special in CGI if you're not going to spend the extra money for good CGI?

[King Hippo]

I view this special as CN trying to test the waters to see whether it would be worth their while to revive their most successful Cartoon Cartoon.

I remember back in high school how Powerpuff Girls merchandise was freaking EVERYWHERE.

[Avaitor]

Yeah, but did it ever sell? I honestly don't remember seeing anyone, girl or boy, with much PPG merch.

[Peanutbutter]

I saw a number of Powerpuff Girl backpacks and whatknot, so yes it did.

[Spark Of Spirit]

The show was big with kids, teenagers who had problems admitting it, and adults as well. It spread the demos pretty well.

CN squandered a really good thing, in my opinion.

[King Hippo]

They made a theatrical movie two years later than they should have. It was dark and moody and for some bizarre reason was forbidden to be played after 3pm.

Plus the post-movie episodes really were total shit.

PPG were always second to DBZ during that period.

[Commode]

Yeah, PPG was a big merch train in the early 2000s.  I think Spongebob kind of edged them out after a couple years though, by around 2003-2004 they were done.

[Lord Il]

Just recently saw 'Twas the Fight Before Christmas movie. Can't believe it took about ten years for me to finally see it. Having not watched PPG in years, this was a real treat!

[Commode]

Yeah, it's been on Boomerang a lot the last few weeks.

On another note, I really wish Cartoon Network/Boomerang would drop the Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer special.  It was fucking horrible the first time it aired, it's still fucking horrible all these years later.  Take the hint Turner.
