Review: This is a good movie overall, however I don't know what Warner Bros. is attempting to do by not releasing a Widescreen version.

Summary: Top-notch contemporary animation
Review: If you're a cartoon fan and have never watched the Powerpuff Girls then you're missing out! This movie is a treat and must-own for fans of the TV series, and an excellent intro for first-timers. Something to notice about this show, particularly the TV series, is how it's obviously influenced (stylistically) by Japanese animation, yet in my opinion this is visually of a more refined and tasteful quality than the typical "Japanimation"/anime that I've seen. Anime fanatics will probably call me bad names for that, but that is my opinion. Another thing to notice...
though it's marketed (toys, accessories, etc) to little girls, this is *not* a kid's cartoon, in the same way that the best Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, and Tex Avery-produced cartoons are not for kids. The writing, the voice acting, and the characters are very well done. In short, this is a quality, very enjoyable series, and the movie only reinforces this. The only short-coming to this movie is that North America is limited, for some inconceivable reason, to the full-screen version. However...if you have a multi-region DVD player (like I do) then you must get the Region 2 (UK) version, which is the wide-screen version.
