Summary: Great movie, disappointing DVD
Review: "From the voice that brought you great lines such as 'The city of Townsville... is under attack' comes this menu to the ultra-deluxe Powerpuff Girls movie DVD" enthuses the familiar voice of Tom Kenny, better known as the Narrator on the Powerpuff Girls. And brother, I'd love to be able to tell you that this DVD lives up to that promise... but I've got to say, WHAT SELF-RESPECTING "ULTRA-DELUXE" DVD IS ONLY AVAILABLE IN PAN AND SCAN?!There used to be a time when all theatrical motion picture DVDs were available *only* in their original, widescreen, theatrical aspect ratio. No questions asked, no apologies made. But clearly, Warner Brothers has decided that this DVD is strictly a release for children, and thus decided to eliminate those "pesky black bars" on the top and bottom of the screen - and in the process a good chunk of the movie's picture along with them - because apparently kids are too dumb to realize that TVs and movie screens are different shapes! But let me back up here a bit. For anyone who's a fan of The Powerpuff Girls TV series, you'll know that this is so much more than a children's show. Despite what the media, marketing, and critics would have you believe, the Powerpuff Girls are *not* the creation of some soulless corporate committee designed to sell a 'girl power' positive-role-model message to the Barbie set. Oh no. They were created by a talented up-and-coming animator named Craig McCracken because, well, he thought the idea of little girls with extreme superpowers was funny. And over the years of the show's evolution and success, it has stayed true to its original intent: to be funny. The Powerpuff Girls Movie is a shining example of a funny movie created by animators for animation fans. Compared to the already-excellent TV series, the colours are more vibrant, the effects are more spectacular, the music just plain ROCKS (why isn't there a soundtrack available?!), and the action is truly a sight to behold... even on a TV screen in pan & scan format! Which really honks me off because a movie with such striking visuals such as these deserves to have the whole picture on the screen. Adding insult to injury are the deleted scenes, and practically all the clips used in the various DVD special features, that actually ARE presented in widescreen! There are scenes where you can literally compare the two and see for yourself just how much of the feature's image is being cut off. But hey, to see fully completed deleted scenes (minus only the sound effects) from an animated movie is not something you see every day and is a very nice touch! Still, it would have been nice to have director Craig McCracken explain why these scenes ended up being cut in the first place. Other special features like the interviews with the "actors", the director's and character's commentaries, and the test reel are all very nice features indeed. Though I was disappointed by the single theatrical teaser trailer included. If you spent any time at all watching Cartoon Network while this movie was in theatres, you no doubt saw some of the myriad cool promos that were made (check out the PPG movie promo feature at toonamiarsenal.com). If they'd thrown even just a handful of the best ones on this DVD, I'd have been happy. This was quite possibly my favourite movie of the year, and this shabby treatment on DVD is not only a slap in the face to the hardcore fans, but also to Mr. McCracken and the talented team at Cartoon Network Studios. Warner Bros. may do stupid things like this sometimes, but they do occasionally listen to their customers. We got the uncut version of Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, we're getting a special edition DVD of The Iron Giant pretty soon, and if we're vocal enough, we may just see a widescreen release of The Powerpuff Girls Movie. 4 stars still go out to this DVD just for being a wicked-cool movie. And a fair amount of effort and care did go into the DVD's production and special features (except for the trailers). Pick up this DVD if you're like me and just can't live without it, cropped or not.

Summary: Awesome movie, why full-screen only?
Review: The movie's a joy but I expect to be able to buy movies that perserve the aspect ratio of the film. DTS would have been nice as well. With a running time of only 73 minutes, all of these features could have been put on the same disc. Warner Brothers/AOL/Time Warner - I'm sorry this movie wasn't a big money maker. It really should have done better. But that's no excuse to short shrift DVD buyers. If you can put out an anamorphic widescreen edition, I'll change my rating to 5 stars.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: I absolutely love the Powerpuff Girls. I consider it one of the best cartoons on american television, and even though I'm 18 I absolutely love pretty much any cartoon. That said, I was sorely disappointed by the movie. While the show is fast paced, humorous and light-hearted, I felt the movie was slow and spent far too much time trying to flesh out a very simple back story that anyone who's seen the opening credits of the TV show already knows. The movie was very dark, too, not nearly as colorful and bright as the TV show. The only reason I gave it 2 stars is because of Mojo Jojo, my favorite villain, who features prominently in this movie and actually lives up to and maybe even surpasses his TV appearances.

Summary: My perspective view of 'The Powerpuff Girls' Movie
Review: I think this animated movie is more than cartoon heroines, but it bring out emotions of the characters at different views of the Townsville citizens. The story begins with 'The City Of Townsville...', showing that there is limited world imagery of this movie. Criag McCarcken has saved the day!

Summary: Here they come just in time... ^_^
Review: The Powerpuff Girls movie was full of crazy fun and sooo adorable! It's not just creampuff though; the girls always make with the butt-kicking on Townsville's hapless villains! O_o
I really love the subtle jokes meant for the adult viewers, they're hilarious! Watching The Powerpuff Girls always brings a smile to my face, even during finals week or after getting home from the crummy ol' job! ;)
"Adults" need to realize that cartoons are not just for kids and that an occasional episode of something like The Powerpuff Girls may aid a little in getting through the work-week.
If you didn't watch it in the theater, then buy it on VHS or DVD "for the kids". *wink*

Summary: Don't Hate. Investigate!
Review: ... The PPG Movie is certainly no Like Mike. Nor is it a Lilo and Stitch. What we have here is a great ANIMATED feature of sumblime style and substance. There is no explicit cornball moral message that is stuffed into our faces. Craig McCracken respects the minds of children enough to know that they will be able to see the moral lesson here for themselves.
The PPG have an annoying image of being a-cutesy-wootsy-Hello-Kitty-kids-only affair. ... Same point with The PPG: There is an exclusive level of enjoyment for open-minded mature minds to be found in the show and movie: pop culture reference, high style, pastiche, parody, all that post-modern stuff you hear about... BR>And the movie brings all these qualities to a greater audience on a larger level. Yes, this isn't some avant-garde groundbreaker... This is sophistication of an enjoyable level. It can be called art...not because it is erudite or complex, or ironic and irreverent...no. It is art the only way it should be: effecting and beautiful...Beauty is truth, truth beauty.
Yes, the film is less on humor and more on drama and plot...and these chraracters work much better on TV...but it all seems like a pygmy mouse when you see those radically vibrant images of an innocent rainbow striping the sky towards an egoist monkey with a huge brain or a huge chain of chimpanzees exploding...kids will clap, seniors will be rolling in the aisles (it's true, ive seen it) and you think, This is JUST a cartoon. And it is, it is. But it can be so much more. Just try it. I don't want to feed this to you. Just give it a go. Don't hate...Investigate!

Review: ...The Powerpuff Girls Movie is a good film. I hate these evil villains. They should really go to jail. The Powerpuff Girls should have brothers who can be on the girls side. If only Professer Utonium can afford them. The Powerpuff Girls should be a movie you shall not miss. It has action. This film is rated PG. The Powerpuff Girls Movie is rated PG (Parental Guidance Suggested) Some Materials May Not Be Suitable for Children- Nonstop Frentitic Animation Action. Leap rating (each out of 5)

Action (5) The girls play tag across the streets recking everything. Mojo Jojo trying to take over the world. The girls start fighting crimes. They try to run around very fast to preapare tag.
Plot (3) Mojo Jojo taking over the world. The Powerpuff Girls saving the world before bedtime. Mojo Jojo going to jail at the end.

Summary: Powerpuff 2002
Review: I saw the Powerpuff movie while I was on vacation with my best friend and my cousins and my aunt. Everyone LOVED the movie. The Dexter short at the beginning was pretty dumb, but I'm willing to sit through it to watch the movie. Plus, it's more entertaining than five more preveiws. I see some parents think it is not good for children but please take into consideration what I have to say before deciding not to see it or take your kid to it because of a few parent's bad reviews (and keep in mind, some of them may be some teenagers who dislike the Powerpuff girls and are just causing trouble). The people I went to go see the movie with were [various]ages... ALL six of us enjoyed it and none of us thought it was 'too violent.' It was the perfect movie, it is one of my top favorites and I would take my little cousins and friends to it. The amount of violence that is in it is pretty much the same, or even less, then TV shows such as Power Rangers, Pokemon, or any other show a 3 year old or older likes. And there has to be some violence or it will turn out like a Barney movie.(the ending would have to be as exciting as "excuse me, please stop trying to take over the world. Thank you!") Mojo Jojo was by far the best bad guy to have appear in the movie. Also, about the Professor not punishing them for destroying Townsville: the PPGs were practically newborns! It's like putting a 3 year old with a baseball bat in a room of priceless vases and expecting him not to break anything. Anyway, the PowerPuff Girls is a GREAT movie for ALL ages. I highly recommend going to see it if at all possable! It was worth my money, I'm sure it will be worth yours! And when you go, stay more than ... only covers the tag game, and not even getting into the excitement.
