Powerpuff Girls Return In 2016

[ZariusTwo]

“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

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

[ZariusTwo]

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

As long as they bring back the original voices, I'm stoked!!!!

[Cure]

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

[BubblyShell22]

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]

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

[TMNT_Guy]

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.

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

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

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.

This. They should have just re-cast full bore and not had some old cast and some new cast. Just make a brand new cast for the brand new series.
