The most adorable little superheroines in all of Townsville make the jump to the big screen in this feature-length animated
adventure based on the popular
Cartoon Network series
The Powerpuff Girls. Brilliant scientist
Professor Utonium (voice of
Tom Kane) is performing an experiment in his lab when
Jojo, a monkey trained to assist the professor, accidentally drops a bottle of hyper-powerful Chemical X into a mixture of sugar, spice, and everything nice. To the professor's surprise, what should emerge from the subsequent chemical reaction but three little girls: bright and practical
Blossom (voice of
Cathy Cavadini), sweet and sunny
Bubbles (voice of
Tara Strong), and tomboyish
Buttercup (voice of
Elizabeth Daily).
Professor Utonium discovers that the girls have remarkable powers and super-human strength, and he hopes they'll be able to improve life in the crime-infected City of Townsville. However, after their first day at Pokey Oaks Kindergarten with
Ms. Keane (voice of
Jennifer Hale), the girls learn that having super powers can be both a blessing and a curse. Rejected by their classmates and quite unhappy, the girls are easily swayed when
Mojo Jojo (voice of
Roger L. Jackson), a superintelligent monkey in a turban, asks them to help him with a campaign to save the city. What the girls don't know is that
Mojo Jojo is actually the monkey who once assisted the
Professor; now he's embraced evil and hopes to use the
Powerpuff Girls as part of his criminal scheme to wrestle control of Townsville away from the dense but well-meaning
Mayor (voice of
Tom Kenny).
The Powerpuff Girls Movie was directed and co-written by
Craig McCracken, who created the original television show as well as writing most of the episodes.
