Le superchicche

Um, I guess I could say something about Mojo Jojo's repressed anger or Professor Utonium's poignant single parenthood or how poor Bubbles (who shows all the signs of a classic Pisces) is torn between zapping aliens and drawing in her coloring books. But, you know what, that's been done. Besides, it's just a cartoon.

One heck of a radical kick-butt awesome cartoon!

Thank goodness for these great video collection's of the Girls' greatest adventures. I probably would have never got a chance to see these otherwise. I speak to all the *adults* here when I say that you have GOT to rent these and watch them. No questions asked. (And, oh yeah, the kids will like 'em too I guess.) Very cool, retro looking animation and a hilarious shout-out to the "Power Rangers" and the Beastie Boys make this one a winner. Plus, Mojo is quite the quotable one.

This is a great show with a lot of hidden jokes. This show is great for the whole family because it follows in the tradition of Animaniacs where the adults and children laugh at the same time for two different reasons.

Also MOJO JOJO RULES!!!!

With so much adult appeal, hilarious visual gags and storys, this kind of anime spoof by the animators of Dexter's Laboratory is one of the year's best cartoons. Creator Craig McCracken (2 Stupid Dogs, No Neck Joe, Dexter's Lab) is a genius. The show is certainly not for very young children - in some fight scenes, the characters actually bleed! A no-no for babies - a bonus for adult anime fans or fans of The Simpsons, Ren & Stimpy and South Park. Again, like in Dexter's Laboratory, there's a clever combination of 50s American style and 90s Japanese anime style. If this show was on at prime time on a free to air network (not just on cable) it would be so popular with all! There would be T-shirts, toys, merchandise galore! The makers of the show would be rich, rich, RICH!!! $$$$$$$$ This show rules! I love it! Do you?

The Powerpuff Girls was for me one of the better shows on Cartoon Network along with Dexter's Laboratory. While its quality sort of meandered in later episodes, the show was essentially fun and witty for its target audience. I remember fondly watching The Powerpuff Girls everyday with my brother and sisters. At 17, I still have a soft spot for it. The animation is colourful and nice to look at, the episode ideas were fresh and the script was witty and funny. The characters are relateable, out of the three Powerpuff girls I love Bubbles the best, she is so cute. I loved Buttercup's feistiness and Blossom's heart as well, and the Professor struck me as a caring and sympathetic father figure who cared for his daughters. The action here is not too bad either, maybe a little too excessive here and there. The theme tune is memorable and hummable, and out of the villains MojoJojo is my personal favourite. The voice acting is great, Tara Strong is a perfect Bubbles and EG Daily, Tom Kane and Cathy Cavadini are equally impressive. Standout episodes? Too many to choose from, but in particular the one with the Boogie Man and the one when Mojo disguises himself as Mojisha at the Girls's Slumber party. All in all, worth the look. 9/10 Bethany Cox

The Powerpuff Girls was one of those shows you really couldn't tell who it it was supposed to appeal to, boys or girls. But I'd go with both.

The action-packed and funny superhero side of the show was well balanced with a more heartfelt and sad side in episodes like "Twisted Sister" which touches upon tough topics of being disabled. It's admirable when kids shows do that.

The Powerpuff Girls show is also loaded with both funny, scary and likable characters with their own memorability. The girls themselves have their own personalities like the leader, the tough one and the innocent one, but without being one-note characters. The character called "Him" is perhaps the scariest villain in the show with a airy and echoing voice and the ability to posses people and control their minds. He is the center of the scariest missions the girls go on in the show in my opinion. But every villain like Mojo Jojo, Princess, The Ganggreen Gang and the list goes on is just so memorable!

My favourite among the many inhabitans of the fictional city of Townsville has to be The Mayor. He's so charmingly dumb, but has so many funny moments, but there are many other funny characters who'll also crack many smiles for different reasons.

The animation is pleasently colourful and special with character design focusing on both round and pointy features. Its simplicity often made me think about the beauty of it being that way. Sure, it's not detailed like for example The Last Airbender, but that's what makes it great, it's doing its own thing.

I love this show and I'll reccomend it to everyone as good entertainment without being all dumb fun but quite clever. Mostly for kids, but worth a watch for adults just for the fun and if you love animation like I do.
