One of the pleasures of going to the movies for me in the 90's was seeing the television shows Beavis and Butt-head and South Park turned into hilarious and thought provoking films for almost anyone (I'd say kids under the age of 9 shouldn't see either). Now in this new millenium we have two movies in just a couple of weeks time span that show what's in store for the rest of us in this decade, the first was Hey Arnold from Nick (later on they also have another Nicktoon Wild Thornberries which I'll wait on to punce, er, review) and this from Cartoon Network. And while I understand that Powerpuff Girls and Hey Arnold are in a different class of characters than that of Beavise and Cartman, I can see the cloud about to pour torrential rain on the animated world that lies outside the realm of Disney.
Powerpuff Girls is a television show that has three hoped up little girls flying around, using their magical powers to uninteltionally destroy and also help out the people of Townsville where there are also a group of monkeys and apes with huge brains sticking out of their heads (led by Mojo Jojo) who are the girls' adversaries. This basic concept is brought forth in this movie where there aren't much sparks of originality, and while I chuckled a few times I was never really impressed, at all, from beginning to end it seemed like a dumb romp. Yet, I know you parents with little girls and other kids might want to take them since this movie is for them and does work on several levels for them, so I reccomend it on that basis. My own personal status was that it kept my attention but it certainly wasn't worth my time. C-
