Powerpuff Girls Return In 2016
 
Quote:

“The Powerpuff Girls” will return to Cartoon Network in 2016, the cabler announced Monday. The reboot will include a new television series and a full licensing program that will roll out across all regions. The show first premiered in 1998 and was created by Craig McCracken.

“The original ‘Powerpuff Girls’ was a franchise phenomenon for Cartoon Network, paving the way for a new generation of innovative storytellers and enthusiastic fans worldwide,” said Rob Sorcher, chief content officer, Cartoon Network. “We are calling these girls back into action based upon an overwhelming demand for sugar, spice and Chemical X.”

The series earned two Emmy awards during its 78-episode run, and spawned a 2003 feature film, a tenth anniversary special, and a re-imagined CG special, “The Powerpuff Girls: Dance Pantsed,” which aired on Cartoon Network in January and featured the voice of Ringo Starr.

“As the original ambassador of ‘girl power,’ The Powerpuff Girls brand continues to resonate with people of all ages and there is tremendous excitement around introducing Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup to a new generation,” said Pete Yoder, vice president of consumer products for North America, Cartoon Network Enterprises. “With proven success and great content plans in place, there’s so much potential that we’re looking forward to explore with our licensing partners in the coming weeks.”

Their heads are so big, and their arms are attached to their heads and not their bodies! That's some weird proportions there :o

Donatello19 06-16-2014 01:51 PM

After that god awful special they just had, I can't say I'm excited.

ZariusTwo 06-16-2014 01:59 PM

Yeah, and given there were some some liberties taken with the special and how out-of-character some were, I'm not so sure this show will stick to the rules.

Donatello19 06-16-2014 02:06 PM

Cartoon Network should just make more original shows...I mean, look at what happens when they try to do a reboot/new version...

And then when they actually make an original cartoon...

They make something awesome and really funny?

TheBlueTurtle1 06-16-2014 02:59 PM

I LOVE the looney tunes show, awesome, I wanted more than 2 seasons tbh. Really funny show.

Raph's Girl 06-16-2014 03:01 PM

2016 seems to be the year for new toons. We got 3 to look forward to so far. 2 reboots (PPG and Magic School Bus), and a spin-off of Lion King.

chrisdude 06-16-2014 04:15 PM

The Looney Tunes Show was fantastic.

I never caught that PPG special that aired...

Cure 06-16-2014 05:08 PM

Oh, no, they might make a reboot like Looney Tunes! I don't want funny and awesome things!

BubblyShell22 06-16-2014 05:18 PM

As much as I despised the anniversary special, I can't help but be excited that the Girls are coming back. I just hope they don't ruin them as they did in the special itself and that they stay true to who the Girls were in the original.

BabyTurtles 06-16-2014 07:47 PM

I didn't like the PPG special at all.....I hope it's not going to be in the same style...

TMNT_Guy 06-16-2014 09:56 PM

The Looney Tunes show was odd in that it would usually have a strong first act, but then drag on. I don’t know why it never seemed to stay funny passed the first commercial break.

Personally, I just want to know when Cartoon Network is going to release the Powerpuff Girls Movie in it's proper widescreen resolution.

Lou 500 06-19-2014 10:20 AM

Oh cool, I used to love PPG when I was younger.

TurtleTitan97 06-08-2015 04:46 PM

The new voice actors for the Powerpuff Girls have been revealed over on the official PPG Facebook page:

Actress Amanda Leighton as the voice of Blossom

Actress Kristen Li as the voice of Bubbles

Actress Natalie Palamides as the voice of Buttercup


plastroncafe 06-08-2015 04:47 PM

Iiiiiinteresting.
I'm kind of curious to see where this goes.

Cure 06-08-2015 05:07 PM

Uh-huh, uh-huh, yup. I know who those women are.

Prowler 06-08-2015 05:20 PM

I liked the original series back in the day. Was the anime adaptation any good, btw?

turtlefanforever 06-08-2015 06:36 PM

uhm

What exactly was wrong with the looney tunes show? I thought it was very well done. It wasn't supposed to be like the original looney tunes. it was updated for youth, and it was done perfectly so. And don't try and use it's "cancellation" as reasoning. Because it was one of the top rated shows, the creators only planned for 52 episodes and refused to do more.

Nick's TMNT were updated for the youth & is a top rated show, but you dislike that & you're well within your right to. So just let the guy be.

turtlefanforever 06-08-2015 06:56 PM

get over yourself

There's a difference, whereas the Looney tunes show was fantastic, the nick tmnt is a steaming pile of crap.

There are plenty of other users saying that same thing to him as i did about the looney tunes show but you selected me to throw your self-righteous spiel on. Which is quite ironic knowing your history making fun of the mentally handicapped and attacking other users. You're very sheltered here because you're friendly with the mods, which grants you immunity from being banned unfortunately. Whereas if anyone else said the same things you have said and the amount of times you've done or said them they would have been banned already. And If i said the exact thing you just said to me, i'd be getting a message from jester. Thus making it impossible to truly improve this site and make it a friendlier place.

If you want to pimp out your art to people and talk about how great you think you are and how you're so much better than everybody, fine. Just don't go bringing that crap to me cause I'll call you out on it every single time.

Powder 06-08-2015 07:00 PM

Lol okay buddy

I have tried to be civil with you, answer your questions, comment on your thoughts & findings, but you insist on holding a grudge over your wildly misguided impression of me. That's fine.

Shark_Blade 06-08-2015 07:04 PM

Know this already. Hope the quality writing returns. The later seasons of PPG were awfully written.

Nick tmnt is crap? You need to get with the time and buy yourself a new set of standards, cause yours have expired. ;)

TurtleTitan97 06-08-2015 07:15 PM

New images



Also, Tom Kenny will return as the Narrator/Mayor: http://mashable.com/2015/06/08/your-...m-fb-main-link

CyberCubed 06-08-2015 07:16 PM

They look almost exactly the same. Feels like they're just making new episodes where they left off rather than a reboot.

Powder 06-08-2015 07:25 PM

I really don't wanna seem like that stereotypical geek who nitpicks minor stuff but I dislike the cowlick. Did they really have to add something to convey that Buttercup is the rough & tumble one? It's like how Bay-Don got glasses to convey geekdom. They look fine of course, but yeah, I find this whole "The character should have a thing that immediately tells you their personality" design trope rather irksome. It's not gonna stop me from watching the show or anything like though, it's just a minor quip.

Shark_Blade 06-08-2015 07:48 PM

Buttercup spiky hair bugged me... like the rest of her hair is smooth and tidy except the lil bit on the top of her head?? My OCD is disturbed.

I would not say it was god awful. I like the story line of the dancing pants in one of Mojo's plans.

The problem with it was dang too bright, I could not tell really what was going on. It was like they draw the sun in like every shot or something. Had they darken the color tone, by like a LOT. Perhaps make the girls look, well, you know, like the Powerpuff girls, than the odd designs they used, it would have been better.

My main problem was of course, it was way too bright. You could hardly tell what was going on with the sun right in your eyes, and no I was not staring out side, but at my TV. lol.

I enjoy all the seasons, they had more bad showings more often in the later seasons, but the last episode was a home run hit, were Mojo grew the Girls into Giants, and they could not do a thing with out destroying the city by mistake. And Mojo was just out in the open stealing stuff. Good times. It was funny and wacky. I loved how the girls "Fix" the tower with chewing gum and it was wiggling left and right, and the people were screaming.

That last one was amazing.

Sure, too bright. Also it wasn't written very well and it wasn't funny.

I loved the line with lose the mullet, Science does not flow with that , had me laughing. I like the ideal of the dancing pants, it didn't turn out great. It had potential to be something, but it failed on its face.

drgon78 06-09-2015 06:41 AM

I like these "new" designs and hope they are legit.

I actually liked a lot of the later episodes of the original series.

THGhost 06-09-2015 09:41 AM

Love the new designs, very similar to the originals. :D Thank God they didn't use the designs from that "Dance Pantsed Special"; those were awful.

It's a shame about the voices though being different, hopefully the new ones will be just as similar. Nice that the Narrator and Mayor will be the same.

drgon78 06-09-2015 12:31 PM

It wouldn't be the same without the original voices, they could have least got Tara Strong for Bubbles.

You really want me to bring up the Marvel Animated Universe again, don't you?

Autbot_Benz 06-09-2015 01:42 PM

Tara Strong said on Twitter that Cartoon Network didn't even bother to ask if her EG Daily and Cathy Cavadini if they wanted to reprise their roles as the PowerPuff Girls. They were quite annoyed by that on twitter. I don't blame them.

tara strong ‏@tarastrong 18h18 hours ago

I have NO ILL FEELINGS 4 the actresses in the new #ppg, We were just beyond hurt we were NEVER asked..every role I breathe life into I love

Cure 06-09-2015 01:53 PM

I don't get why she feels like she should be asked, anyway. New show, new actors. Can't be the same forever. Makes sense to me.

You can't really blame her for feeling that way though. According to Tom Kenny, they're even bringing back Roger L. Jackson as Mojo Jojo and Jennifer Hale as Ms. Keane (Though not as Princess Morbucks). So in reality if they could bring back at least three actors from the original series, there's no reason they couldn't bring back the original actresses for the girls.

Not that I'm knocking down the new girls, I'm sure they'll do fine. But I can understand how Tara must feel since this a character she's voiced for years and would love to do it again in a heartbeat.

People are getting sick and tired of your Nick Turtles hate in every other topic. Stop acting like all the members are out to get you. They are not you are just annoying.
