[Raph's Girl]

Well apparantly PPG is coming back to Cartoon Network but it's a fricken reboot. Cartoon Network has announced some of their fall slate but more info will be known for their full upfront in fricken May. On the list is what's being dubbed as a PPG Reboot. WTF?!

If I recall correctly, there was a thread over this awhile back.

I just hope they don't screw this reboot up.

EDIT: Darn, looks like there won't be a new Ben 10 series since it wasn't mentioned in the press release. :(

My apologies in advance for the double posting.

Anyway, earlier today I was looking through the web over PPG stuff, when I accidently stumbled across this particular image. Apparently, it's concept art for the reboot,. Or to be more precise, it's how Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup will apparently look.

Needless to say, if you weren't a fan of the "Dance Pantsed" designs, I think you'll be very pleased over what you are about to see:

Spin Master Ltd. will serve as the global master toy partner for Cartoon Network’s The Powerpuff Girls, anchoring the licensing program for the global franchise launch in 2016. Spin Master will have rights to create a full line of products based on the brand, including plush; figures; play sets; dolls; role-play items; and select electronic, activity, remote-control toys, and novelty and impulse items. The product line will begin its global retail rollout in the fall of 2016.

The new Powerpuff Girls animated series produced by Cartoon Network Studios and the full worldwide licensing program will introduce a new generation of fans to the brand. During its original 78-episode run, the TV series created by Craig McCracken earned two Emmy Awards along with five nominations, as well as countless animation honors. It also inspired a feature film in 2003, a 10th anniversary special, and a re-imagined CGI-animated special, The Powerpuff Girls: Dance Pantsed, which aired on Cartoon Network in January 2014 and featured Ringo Starr.

I originally found this image over on a thread on the Toonzone forums talking about the reboot. The person who posted it said the image appeared in a Bulgarian newsletter from Cartoon Network. Plus since the site I posted a link to says the same info as the poster described, as well as the fact the site looks pretty legit, I think it's safe to say at the moment this is the real deal.

I'm pretty sure they also tried to do a reboot for Courage the Cowardly Dog, but the original voice actor for Eustace died so they decided against it...or something like that.

Wasn't there a pilot episode last year ?

Hmm, very interesting to hear that this is coming back. Let's hope it's not as bad as that damn special because that was horrendous and definitely NOT PPG.

I sure hope these are the design~ I wasn't fond of the PPG special designs that much....too sharp and bright....
