Want to create a cartoon classic? Just take some old superhero comics, giant anime robots, science fiction aliens, gross violence and Hanna-Barbera cartoons, toss them in a blender and hit puree. The result is sugar, spice, everything nice and an accidental fourth ingredient, Chemical X. From 1998-2005, that mixture got you Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup, the three super-powered little girls that starred in the Cartoon Network monster hit
The Powerpuff Girls.
The series was the brainchild of animator Craig McCracken and yielded not only the series but several specials, an ocean's worth of merchandise tie-ins, a theatrical feature film, and a reboot in 2016. Proving that you can't keep three good girls down, the CW Network recently announced a gritty live-action reimagining, aiming to hit the airwaves next year.
