There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

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!

This is actually an interesting first movie showing how the Powerpuff girls and Mojo Jojo was born. It's actually rather touching to see how much the 4 actually get along on the first day. It shows they are pretty normal except for the powers. They just want to have fun and be loved. They have trouble finding acceptance in a world that doesn't really want them.I have no idea how the mayor has even been elected because he is really stupid. Nothing he does really makes any sense. When the town is being destroyed, he goes and gets a pickle instead of wanting to figure out how to stop it. And even after worlds, all he is worried about is how they 'killed' the pickles.Mojo Jojo is really odd. First off, 2 days after he is given his 'special powers,' he said that he was discriminated for too long. 2 days is not a long time.The art style is perfect to the actual TV show. I really don't see much difference between the two. Everyone has a very black large outline that makes them stand out from the background which is normally diluted tones of gray or pink. Some characters are overly round where others are exaggerated angles. In fact, the Professor is all angles, and even his shoulders don't move when he is stretching out his neck. The girls are rather chibi looking even though this is an American made cartoon. The whole show is rather stylized in itself.The voices are alright, it is an American Cartoon so you don't have the choice of hearing two different voices for the characters. Sometimes they do have problems in the script though. I can't stand how Mojo Jojo talks, mostly in third person and has a rather rapid fire monologue with a lot of pauses. Actually, it's like the old Godzilla shows where they were dubbed over in English. He also seems to use really really bad puns too.

I loved the Powerpuff Girls. It was by far Cartoon Network's classic shows next to Dexter's Laboratory, Samurai Jack, Johnny Bravo, and more and has gained some popularity due to it's merchandising with toys, furnitures, and more. So, when Warner Brothers decided to make a cinematic adaptation of the classic show, lots of people became hyped as h*** (the same way they did when "The Rugrats Movie" was made and became such a success it spawned two sequels) and saw this movie with lots of anticipation.However, compared to the Rugrats movies, this movie performed very poorly at the box office despite making 16 million out of its 11 million budget that plans for making the Samurai Jack movie got canceled. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean that it's not recommended because I thought that this was a great movie and very underrated in my opinion.The animation sticks to the same style from the show and it works perfectly while adding some great CGI effects to it. The story also sticks to the origins of the Powerpuff Girls and is much darker and more complex than what you most find in most animated movies. The characters are charming and the Dialogue is hilarious it adds some wit to the story. The only two problems is that it's just too short and only two scenes were a bit contrived. It also has some kick-a** action and a finale that is so entertaining it would leave you breathless.Overall, The Powerpuff Girls Movie isn't a masterpiece, but it's still an entertaining cinematic adaptation of a great show!
