Everything about The Powerpuff Girls totally explained
The Powerpuff Girls is an
Emmy-winning
The show has been hailed for showing young girls as active and capable heroines. However, it has also come under criticism for its rather excessive violence (including images of characters gushing blood from their mouths when hit), and for what have been perceived as morally questionable actions on part of the main characters, such as sometimes using more brutal force than necessary.
History
Craig McCracken, a student of
California Institute of the Arts, created
The Whoopass Girls in 1992 in his short film
The Whoopass Girls in A Sticky Situation.
Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation selected the short in
1994; McCracken submitted it to Hanna-Barbera's innovative
What A Cartoon! shorts program (eventually to be produced for Cartoon Network as "The Powerpuff Girls in: Meat Fuzzy Lumkins" as part of
World Premiere Toons) while working on
Dexter's Laboratory. As the word "whoopass" was deemed inappropriate for younger audiences, the word was replaced by "powerpuff."
The
Powerpuff Girls TV debut in 1998 was the highest rated premiere in Cartoon Network's history. For several seasons, the series consistently scored the highest rating each week for the network across a wide range of demographics -- from young children to adults. In October 2000, Cartoon Network credited the Powerpuff Girls for its Friday night
prime time ratings win among cable networks. By 2001, merchandising based on
The Powerpuff Girls encompassed everything from T-shirts, toys and video games to lunchboxes and dishware. There was also a CD entitled
Heroes and Villains, featuring original songs about the
Powerpuff Girls characters by a number of artists, including the New Wave group
Devo. According to "C" Raggio's blog it'll use Flash animation. As of now, nothing is known about the plot of the movie or its air date yet.
Awards
The show has been nominated for an Emmy five times in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2004 & 2005 for
