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.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Powerpuff Bluff
Review: This particular segment powerpuff bluff stunk. Who would ever believe this premise? I surely didn't and it wasn't funny either. I seriously had to consider whether I would let my son watch this because of the level of nasty humor in it. But I did think the other short toons were funny.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Charlie's Angels meet "kindergarten".
Review: This show the powerpuff girls is good enough, but not anymore, because Bubbles is a discrace to blue, and my favorite color is blue, and my cousin hates this show, but some of the episodes are funny.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THE POWERPUFF GIRLS ARE READY TO COME OUT OF YOUR VIDEO!
Review: This video is EXCELLENT! It's the BEST VIDEO I EVER BOUGHT! My favourite episode is Uh-Oh...Dynamo and the others are the BEST! You should buy this video.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It helps if you think of them as Ginger, Sporty, & Baby, Jr.
Review: What is it about the Cartoon Network that appeals so fully to both kids *and* adults? It's not only the nostalgic old cartoons but also the brilliant new ones, top among them the Powerpuff Girls! Never seen them (or don't have the Cartoon Network)? You owe it to yourself to get this video with some of the best episodes of the series. Parents with very young children should be warned that the action (or "fantasy violence," as the TV warning says) can sometimes be strong, but the good guys (er, girls) always win and there's enough that works on both levels to amuse and entertain both the old and young kids. The standout episode of this tape is "Bubblevicious," where sweet, innocent Bubbles laments not being 'hardcore' enough to take on the meanest villains her sisters Blossom and Buttercup can. Visual jokes and pop-culture references (including a very funny brief visual homage to 'Spinal Tap') make this the smartest cartoon show since 'The Simpsons'--full of fun and irreverance but without the gross-out humor of some of its 'Cartoon Cartoon' companions on the TV network. There's enough cute Powerpuff Girls merchandise out in the stores to challenge Pokémon, but the first and best thing you need is this tape! As the Talking Dog would say: "It's good! It's good! It's good! It's good!"

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: a guy who knows how bad this is
Review: what is with you people, I mean this show has a lot really stupid parodies of other shows which is so boring. they keep using shapes for the people heads in this show like the professor. he always has a square head and square ears which is mess up just like the powerpuffs. why do the girl always win so stupidly, they have no weakness which so off!!
and what is with that monkey, why don't they just shoot down the that monkey, and how does he get out of jail all the time... that just dum.
what the hell is monster island, what they just appear there...
give me a reason for all these dum...stuff.
CHEMICAL X... IF THE KIDS IN THAT ONE EPISODE THEY GET SUPER POWERS FROM CHEMICAL X ISN'T THERE A SIDE-EFFECT TO USING THE STUFF BESIDE BECOMEING LOYAL, I MEAN IF CHEMICAL X WERE REAL THE GOVERMENT WOULD BE USING IT, NOT NO HOME LAB PROFESSOR. I SUGGEST YOU PEOPLE LOOK IN TO THIS AND NOW!!!!
