Summary: "Episode I" of Cute Little Girls You Can Never Hate
Review: To be honest, I didn't know anything about "Powerpuff Girls" even though Cartoon Network can be seen also in Japan, and I happened to have seen American animation series like "Flintstones" there. But they decided to release "PPG: The Movie" in theaters in Japan, so I went to see that.And the film proved an unexpected joy; though the theater was not full of audience (actually very few), but the kids behind me were enjoying the film, and interestingly, parents too. Even though the film has failed commercially to impress us (at the opening week the film reached only No. 9 in US box-office chart), those who showed up at the theater would come to love those wide-eyed cute girls, Blossom, Bubbles, and boyish Buttercup, without previuosly watching the original TV episodes. In fact, the film is virtually "Episode I" of TV series that has been running more than three years, so non-die-hard "PPG" fans can easily enter the world of Townsville, where three super-girls (who still go to kindergarten) fight against evil ape Mojo Jojo. The film introduces how the girls are born in the laboratory of Professor Utonium, with sugar and spice and everything nice (plus Chemical X), just as catchy 60s pop song goes. There are regular characters that appear in the TV series (so I heard), but you don't have to know anything about them to enjoy the film. Wise choice of moviemakers. The film, as some have complained with some justification, is NOT for little kids and parents who seek for moral and message in animation films. This film is not as outrageous as "South Park" but certainly it includes some violent contents, one of which is the total destruction of kindergarten and the city itself due to the girls' practical joke, and some child play that everyone knows. But the girls just can't help it. The story falters sometimes, especially in the first half; we all know that this weird green ape with a paper bag on his head must be a villain; we know that the professor, compared with those kids and bad monkeys, looks very insipid and boring. But wait till the second half when everything gets into gear. The last scene has rousing actions by the girls. Director Craig McCracken gives a unique style of drawing and color, and about its designs only, the film is memorable. And proabably he is a fan of Japanese animations, or at least he knows soething about it. Fighting girls remind us Japanese "Sailor Moon"; fighting and chasing (or mayham) on the street is a favorite device of Japanimation (like "Urusei Yatsura"); or the idea of hero/heroine created by a doctor resembles the situation of classic anime "Astro Boy," and so on. Of course, these Japanese products owe much to American older animations, but his style itself is, in my eye, quite closer to Japanese counterpart, rather to Disney and Hannah Barbera's works. That might explain my and other Japanese audience's joyful reaction to "Powerpuff Girls." Anyway, if you or your kids want to see something with a bit more of edge, something spicier than "Pokemon" in watching animation, try it. It is hard not to love those girls.

Summary: How could anyone HATE the Powerpuff Girls??
Review: I see a recurring theme here in the negative interviews: too violent, not for small children, no redeeming moral value. First of all, this movie is rated PG for FRENETIC ANIMATED VIOLENCE. If you missed that before you took your children, then it's not your place to place the blame elsewhere for your own carelessness. I've been a huge Powerpuff Girls fan since the original animated shorts on the Wot a Cartoon show, so when I heard a movie was coming out, I couldn't wait. After seeing some previews and trailers, I was going in expecting to be disappointed. The impression I received was that Craig McCracken had decided to cater to those who had never seen the show before and ignore the die hard fans. Still, I greatly anticpated attending. When I finally was able to catch it (they only had morning/early afternoon showings around here) I was pleasantly surprised. This movie is the perfect introduction to the entire series, and sets many background elements that did not exist before. After viewing, I did feel that it seemed to be more targeted at the college aged crowd, with more dramatic sequences and a deeper plot than the daily series. The obligitory 'parent-aged' jokes were ever present (much like the old Warner Bros/Hanna Barbara cartoons) and kept the movie entertaining the whole way through. There are several lengthy sequences, and given the attention span of the average American these days I can understand why those who may be used to life in 15-minute segments (tops) may have become bored. To me, these segments were a refreshing change from the sometimes too episodes. To those who have seen Samuri Jack, there are also some of the extra slow motion dramatic scenes that populate that series. Needless to say, and without giving away too many plot points to those who are PPG fans and have not seen it, this movie was absolutely fantastic, and stuck to the tv series storyline religiously. I can't recommend this enough to parents who are sick of the moral relativism so evident in so many cartoons today. This movie does have some serious moral value, it has a very clear cut view of good and evil, and good triumphs in the end. To the individual who referred to Sara Bellum as the buxom redhead with no face representing the misogynistic views of the creator, if you had watched the show you might have realized that she is in fact one of the smartest characters, if not the smartest and turns out being a great role model for young girls.

Summary: Big eyed little girls
Review: This movie was made for all people.You may never seen an episode of The Powerpuff girls, and still enjoy the film.
It's not only gor 6 year old girls.No!!, if you're like 48, you'll love it too!. The girls: Blossom is the leader.She's strong enough and beautiful.Bubbles is the baby, she's more beautiful than her sisters but she's not that strong.
Butter-cup is the strongest one, but I think she's more pretty than the other two.She's my favourite.
Here she can't avoid saving a stupid dog that didn't let her to kick and punch that dirty apes. The story is about the creation/origin of the girls, and how they tryied to live in a normal place, not using their super powers.
But, the girls are out of control and people start to hate them.So the bad ape Mojo Jojo makes his first evil plan to take over the world. Animation is great.The action scenes of the movie are amazing.Explosions, destroyed buildings, apes and monkeys torturing people, and this 3 colored girls flying over the city, kicking some... Craig McCraken did an excellent job.The drawings lokk great, the girls never looked so alive.What i didn't like about was the short episode of Dexter before the film.
It was dumb and boring, I just wanted to see the Powerpuff girls, not he and his hilarious sister, Dee Dee. I was hoping that it kicked the box office.But it was a disaster, nobody went to see the film.
In my country, people went crazy, and waiting in 2 hours line to get tickets for it.But of course, other kids movie like Ice age, Spirit or Lilo and Stich, and Stuart Little 2 did better. But I can promise you that this film, is 100 better than all the others toghether.
It's non stop animated action, of 3 little beautiful and charming girls. Cast: Blossom, Bubbles, Butter-cup, Mojo Jojo, Prof. Utonium
Running time: 85min.
Rated: PG
Director: Craig McCraken Final grade: B+

Summary: PowerPuff's go POOF!
Review: I've been waiting to see this movie for months! I was ready to have a good time, but the powerpuff's let me down. How could this happen? Unfortunately the story is a prequel to the show detailing how the girls came to be and why they decided to fight crime. Why is that bad? Well the audinece it's most likely to see the movie watches the show regularly, and the show has already told us many of these details. So I wound up sitting there waiting for something to surprise me, to offer something that I didn't already know. Not only did that never happen, but I was subjected to 10 minutes of Bubbles crying! Fight scens dragged on and on as did a game of tag. it's like the writers couldn't think of wnything good so they just let the girls run amonk for 6 minutes. The whole movie just felt like an over-long episode. I was very disappointed. For a truly fun, cute family film filled with heart, check out the immuserably better Lilo & Stitch.

Summary: Why I love American Animation
Review: Powerpuff girls is creative and free from the restriction of a linear plot. A cute movie about my favorite heroines and I wonder how come I never saw Ms. Bellum's face. I think she must be ugly. This is the reason why Cartoon Network rules.
They make cartoons for everyone. Powerpuff girls is funny and ambitious.

I would have to say this is the best movie I ever saw.

Summary: Fans'll love it
Review: First of all, I'd like to address the fact that this movie's target demographic was never, EVER intended to be small children. The show's creator and the movie's director, Craig McCracken, has himself said this on several occaisions. Yes, it was advertised in such a manner, but it wasn't Cartoon Network that supervised how the movie's promotion was conducted. Just thought I'd clear that up for the mother who posted a few reviews below me as well as anyone else who might be considering bringing their child to see the film. Anyways, being a huge fan of the series for quite some time, I was really looking forward to this movie's release. I saw it as early as I could on the day of its premier, and I can't say that I was at all dissapointed. The movie, like the show, is chock full of media/pop culture references (one scene almost entirely composed of Van Halen references, and the scores of Planet of the Apes refs should be easy to spot towards the second half of the movie) and punny humor, most of which the little ones probably won't be able to pick up on. At the same time, though, there was a nice element of seriousness to some parts of the movie that would never be found in the series. Lots of people would enjoy this film, and if you haven't already seen it, I really suggest you go and do so. It may not change your life, but it's certainly entertaining.

Summary: Awesome Movie with a Good Moral
Review: As many parents have not noticed is that these girls are not only five-year-olds with, as some people may call, "horrifc" powers - I call them useful and wonderful - they are caring, trustworthy, heroines of justice. Honestly, do you think that a town with monsters rampaging around would want heros who didn't take things a tad bit on the violent side? This movie just reflects our so called "perfect" world in ways that kids can understand. Getting to the moral. The moral of the story , as they repeated many times, is that sometimes people don't understand how special you are and that you have to show people how special you are and let them take it or leave it. If parents can't look past the violence and look deeper into the moral, I don't know what kind of kids we are raising. My point is "Don't judge a book by it's cover" because the story can be exciting and meaningful.

Summary: This is so cool!
Review: Okay, I admit, I'm not the biggest fan of the show, but I went with a couple of friends today. One of my frineds is blonde, the other is a red head, and I'm a brunette. We're sometimes called the powerpuff girls. Anywho, we could not stop laughing at this movie. It was so good, which i didn't expect (especially the TAG scene!) The laughing and the giggling, the excessive crying by Bubbles, it was great. Some advice, if you love monkeys- see this movie. There aare a ton of them. Go Mojo Jojo! See this movie! Lots of action, not jsut for kids. And NOT sugar, spice, everything nice, and Chemical X - action!
