Summary: Well...
Review: I really don't recommend this cartoon. I used to like it pretty well, but after awhile, I realized it really wasn't all that good. Here are the reasons.
1. Why is it that the Powerpuff girls have no fingers, toes, ears, or noses? Now, that's just wrong!!!
2. There really should be more villian balance. I mean, if you notice, like every other episode the main villian is Mojo Jojo. Not that I've got a problem with him. It's just that... well, there should be more episodes with others ones like Him.(Now, he is a good villian!) When was the last time the main villian was Fuzzy Lumpkins? He hasn't been the main guy in a long, long time. Why is he considered one of the biggest PPG villians?
3. The plots really aren't all that good. I mean, in most of the episodes, the girls just beat up the villians at the end and are done with it.
Now, here's all the positive things about this show.
1. The Powerpuff girls does have some good animation. I mean, look at the design of all the different monsters in it.
2. I have to admit, the Powerpuff girls is a show that is really only good on laughs. There are lots of funny episodes. Like "Child Fearing" when Mojo babysits them.(Just watch that "Blarney The Sea Serphant" bit. It's a gem).
Overall, I give it this score. I recommend the episodes, "Boogie Frights"(a break from the routine) and "Jewel Of My Aisle"(hilarious) and "Speed Demon"(very dark, and Him is great here). So that's my opinion.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE POWERPUFF GIRLS ROCK!
Review: I thought I had left my cartoon-watching days far, far behind, but this is quite possibly the best show on TV right now! The animation is fabulous, and the dialog and characters are a joy to tune into each day. "Bubblevicious" is my favorite episode and I'm thrilled to see that it's available on video. I can't recommend it enough.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: POWERPUFF SAVE THE DAY!!!!!!
Review: If I didn't have a four year old daughter, I'd still watch the PowerPuff Girls. Bubbles, Blossom, and Buttercup are the heros for the new millenium. Although Miss Bellum is my favorite character (hubba hubba), I love everyone on this show and can relate to them. You know when you really watch these episodes you can see all the adult inuendos.

The Mayor is an idiotic bumbling buffoon that depends on a woman to get things done (can anyone say Clinton?)

The evil monkey MoJo JoJo reminds me of an idiotic power hungry Saddam Hussain.

That crazy June Cleaver housewife next door neighbor who likes to wear S&M Leather outfits in disguise (yeah she can move next to me)

The Gang Green Gang? You figure it out.

Go Girls! PowerPuff!!!!!

Summary: WELCOME TO THE DELIGHTFUL FANTASY WORLD OF POWERPUFF GIRLS!
Review: Somewhere in the far-off land of our very own U.S.A. lies Townsville, an imaginary megapolis that just bristles with innocence and good will. This is where the smaller, younger, and cuter versions of the notorious anime superheroines were tenderly brought into the world by a fatherly chemistry wizard, the square-jawed Professor Utonium and brought up at a local nursery school headed by the ever-cheery Ms. Keane. Now meet our very young crimefighting trio, Blossom the bossy redhead, Bubbles the overoptimistic little blonde who's always sprouting sunshine and smiling daisies, and Buttercup, the brunette sourpuss who happens to be my most favorite! Their biggest purpose in their whole lives is to stop the baddies like Mojo Jojo the deranged ape with a very twisted mind (and an overgrown brain to hold it!), Fuzzy Bumpkins, the people-hating, bug-faced country hermit, and ... (*shudder*) ... "him" from disrupting the peace of the world's most perfect city and all its happy, fun-loving inhabitants!

Here in this video, our innocent little Bubbles tries very hard to prove herself and her sisters that she can, too fight towering Japanese-style monsters just like them instead of just being a giggly featherbrain that needs to be left behind. And then the infamous Mojo Jojo steps in, unwittingly giving her one big whopper of a boost! Aw, come on and share such wonderful, magic-filled adventures with the tiniest princesses with the biggest and the most soulful orbs in the whole cartoon kingdom!

Summary: New Generation of Animation
Review: The Cartoon Network has always been a pioneer for modern cartoons that reflect that hipness of today's youth. With such trendsetting cartoon series such as "Dexter's Laboratory," and "Cow and Chicken," the network has seen a large following of new fans, both young and old in recent years.

With the debut of the Powerpuff Girls, the network has solidify their status as the home to the hippest cartoons on the planet. Created by Genndy Tartakovsky, Craig McCracken (the creators of 'Dexter's Laboratory") the series involves the superhero fighting adventures of three adorable girls who attend Pokey Oats Kindegarten in the City of Townsville. The girls, who were created by accident in a laboratory explosion by Professor Utonium, have powers the average little girl doesn't have. Blossom (the mature red-head), Buttercup (the tough Brunette), and Bubble (the childish Blonde) are the hippest crime-fighting trio the cartoon world has ever seen. Battling such nemesis such as Mojo Jojo, Him, Fuzzy Lumpkins, Princess, and the Gangrene Gang, the girls come to the rescue whenever Townsville is in danger. The great thing about the series is that it incorporates many pop-culture items from past superheroes such as the campy Batman series of the 1960's (instead of the Batphone, the girls have a Fisher Price telephone with a happy face that lights up whenever the Mayor of Townsville need help). Another twist probably in homage to Charlie's Angels is that you never get to see the face of the Mayor's Secretary, Miss Bellum, in the same way you never get to see Charlie's face.

Although one might think this is a cartoon meant for children, don't be fooled. Truly if you are looking for something to watch, then the Powerpuff Girls will fit the bill. Along with the "Simpsons," "Animaniacs," "Pinky & the Brain," "Dexter's Laboratory" and "Cow and Chicken," the "Powerpuff Girls" rank as one of the hippest cartoons.

Summary: Powerpuff Girls....not just for the kids, either
Review: The girls themselves may be in kindergarten, but that doesn't limit their audience one bit. Kids will love the show because of its art design, action, and general sense of fun. But the media savvy will recognize scores of in-jokes, parodies of other shows, and subtleties that blow right by the young'uns. I bought this DVD with some trepidation, but now all doubt has been erased. I might have liked a few more special options, maybe some of their special spots from Cartoon Network, but overall it is an excellent compilation. I just have to say that the 'we can keep kitty' sequence in Cat Man Do is one of the most hilarious bits of media I have ever seen. In conclusion, there is really something for everyone on this dvd. And check out the newer one, too, I'm sure it's just as good.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: what was craig mccrack... thinking?
Review: there are a couple things wrong with this show. here's a list of what:

1) the animation is sour looking and sloppy at times. (this includes the characters)
2) whenever a child commits a crime, he/she is sent to prison as well as the older criminals when they should be in juvenile hall!
3) the power puffs are not really super-heroes due to that they don't really ever save anyone barely. all they do is fight monsters and/or beat somebody up and put them in jail for no damn reason which is really messed up!!!
4) the girls don't even have a weakness! it's always too easy for them in every single episode that they never lose a fight! i mean, come on! superman, batman etc. along with other non-american animated heroes such as goku from dbz at least lose once in a while and are not a bunch of stuck-up show offs who think that they're so cool! are alot of the characters in this show that are poorly drawn and/or have no heads or faces such as the decapitated miss belum. also sometimes characters from other shows/movies are taken probably because the artist himself cannot come up with his own. (see the episode "birthday bash" where princess leia is shown in the background at one scene.the power puffs is just an anime wannabe at times and is plainly borin!...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hilarious and tasteful
Review: This is an awesome cartoon. It's funny and cute, and great for both adults and children. "Bubblevicious" is a must see for Bubble's fans, and "Telephonys" is hilarious. The other episodes are great as well. The evil, super intellegent chimp Mojo Jojo (the Girl's archvillian) is actually a unique and rather likeable villian. If you like the Powerpuff Girls, you will love this DVD.

One final note: the box for this DVD claims there is a, Courage the Cowardly Dog, episode on it; but, instead you get to be tortured by the poorly drawn and very lame, Sheep in the Big City, cartoon.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: very funny!
Review: this is hilarious for both kids and adults, boys and girls. this particular edition is my favorite, and the bonus features on the dvd are great!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Bubble-delicious for the most part
Review: This is the last of three in a series of detailed reviews from the videos comprising the Powerpuff 3-Pack. Video: Bubblevicious.

In the title story, Bubbles, frustrated of being seen as the baby of the crime-fighting trio, takes it upon herself to be just as hardcore as her sisters. The scene where she gets a real workout in the simulation room ends with her in an adrenalized frenzy, crying: "Who else wants some?" It's a good action-packed scene. However, she newfound determination also carries with it some pent-up rage, which alienates her sisters. Buttercup's fight against a slug-like monster also demonstrates why she is the toughest fighter. (Rating: 5).

"Uh Oh...Dynamo" shows that not even weekends are sacred. The Girls have to deal with a giant, multiocular fish monster who seems to have been a reject from a Godzilla movie. The Dynamo referred to in this story is a titanic robotic Powerpuff Girl that the Professor builds to protect the girls. After watching this story I put Townsville down on my list of cities most frequently destroyed, probably even beating the number of times Godzilla has destroyed Tokyo. (Rating: 4).

"Mr. Mojo's Rising" is a condensed version of how and why Mojo Jojo left Professor Utonium. It does not contradict the opening sequence of the PPG movie. Basically, Mojo feels that the professor's attention to the girls was what forced him out and he wants to be included. The Professor thinks maybe this will stop him from being an evil genius bent on destroying mankind. And no, Jim Morrison does not make a guest appearance despite the title. (Rating: 4).

In "Cat Man Do", a scientist who has created a ray gun and is about to unleash its power on Townsville is stopped by the Powerpuffs. As the laboratory turns into an inferno, a plaintive meow is heard. Bubbles, ever the animal-lover, rescues a long-haired white Persian and brings it home. This story turns the concept of Blofeld, the head of SPECTRE in the James Bond movies, and his pet, on its head. (Rating: 5).

As for "Powerpuff Bluff", oh dear! A trio of burglars foiled time and again by the Girls get the bright idea of continuing their crime wave by impersonating the girls. Oooookay. I know this is for kids, but it does show that sometimes, the people of Townsville aren't exactly the smartest olives in the salad. (Rating: 2).

Overall rating: (5+4+4+5+2)/5=4.
