They also did this for Samurai Jack, having Mako (Aku) narrate the special feature in a similar fashion. It especially helps for younger viewers to stay engaged, since most of these things don’t usually interest them.
Mckraken didn't have any take in this (no duh) but the reason he couldn't is because he cut his tie with CN when the Real life action started to become a thing in CN and so he made a contract with Disney. since he has a contract with them, he can't go back to CN and take part in any new episodes of the PPG
Newvi ㅤ I am pretty mad that Craig Mckraken made the contract with Disney and didn't come back to Cartoon Network and I love the original Power Puff Girls better than the reboot and we'll always love the original
Ryk?! When the original actresses of the original Powerpuff Girls found out they weren't in the cast, they were heartbroken! One or all of them even tweeted their devastation.
the old cast were professionals....tara e.g. and cavadini are master talents...the new voice cast are to young and weak....the voices of the og main characters made the series stand out...otherwise it would have been another generic action show...
Huge respect to Craig McCracken, Genndy Tartakovsky, the voice talent, and the entire team! This is a great documentary. I especially loved Craig's description of the Gangrene Gang: "What if Big Daddy Roth designed Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids?" Watching this documentary, honest and prepared for adults, as an adult, about a show I enjoyed as a child is a real treat. I get to appreciate every aspect of the show at various points in my life. I can't believe I watched the whole thing...
Yep, those were the days. I'll never understand why they got him to change his Spongebob voice to that high pitch, obnoxious imbecilic way of speaking after the first 3 or so seasons. The writing got way worse too. I'm guessing it had to do with Stephen Hillenburg leaving the show.
She is 50 years old by now and she can be considered lucky that she didn't burned down her vocal chords and completely lost the ability to even speak with her forced high pitched VOs she did for decades.
I'm a boy haha and it was so cute earlier when i was 5-6 and so on.. now I'm 20. I am rewatching cuz i haven't watched all and ofc forgot too.. but it's so fun
Tom Kenny is great and all but i think he puts a little too much passion as the narrator. There's times i feel the narrator guy should chill out and/or not be so overreacting. I'm not saying it's bad or anything i just feel that its one of those out of my control things. Besides i also read that in ppg 2016, the narrator stops being a part of the show after season 2.
There's no way that Cartoon Network would put so much faith into a new TV series like this nowadays. If this happened years later there's no way it would get past it's first 2 pilots.
Nobody wants to take a chance anymore.. There are so many old properties now that it's less of a risk to reboot a series than to give a new series a chance.
Out of all the Creative decisions, the thing that earned my respect was how honest he was about the movie reviews. You usually don’t see people take criticism so causally well and slip it under the rug instead.
The new series is so disappointing. I wish CN would've made a new season of the original instead, especially after seeing how dedicated the original crew was to the show.
I feel sad that kids today are seeing the new PPG on CN instead of the awesome original, the new PPG artstyle and animations seems really limited, that's putting it nicely.
What if you heard of a reimagining where the Perfect Little Girls were the resulting mixture of chemical solvents, human tissue samples, Professor Utonium's genetic material, three types of Kryptonite (red, blue, and green), and the broken yet functioning remains of a Motherbox?
Man, so many legendary names there. McCracken, Renzetti, Faust, Tartakovsky, Rudish… Can we just, like, kidnap that entire group of people and throw them in a room full of money so they can make something awesome again?
I know right? What I love the most about it is how both Craig and Genndy helped with each other's shows. Craig helped with Dexter, and Genndy helped with Powerpuff
that's the thing...when good shows get popular the good talented writers animators and voices all leave...what made the show good was having a bunch of super talented people work together on this one thing...if you separate them whatever they do wont be as good..
Right? It's really endearing to see how they speak about the show, like they're so insanely passionate about what they created. That seems to be pretty damn rare nowadays.
first time that I watched powerpuffgirls was 20 years ago in cartoon network. never though time flies so freaking fast.. Bubbles will always be my favorite character in the series..
He did the right thing and killed it while it was still good, saved it from becoming a long drawn out piece of shit. Then cartoon network was like...... yeah lets do that. So stupid
Im actually on the verge of shedding tears watching this, this show is what started my want to be an animator. I miss being awed by this as a young kid.
+Kaiju Kamacuras teen titans go is where they all look more cartoony now right? I hate it, I guess it's cause it's supposed to appeal to a much younger audience. regular teen titans appealed to a much broader audience
@@NyQuilDonutProbably because the producers didn’t want older women voicing little girls, so they got younger actresses which is stupid. Those women can still sound like little girls. I mean their voices haven’t changed very much by now and obviously even then.
1:26 The fanatism for Underdog Craig had as a little kid would later inspire him to have two of his child characters referencing that cartoon when posing as superheroes. When PPG's Bubbles changes her heroic identity to Harmony Bunny, her catchphrase is a reference to Underdog's "hip hip hip and away I go!", only with "hop" instead of "hip". That, and Kid Cosmic has "Have no fear! Kid Cosmic is here!" as a catchphrase; an obvious reference to Underdog's "There's no need to fear...!".
I was just like Craig with being obsessed with cartoons. Craig's story about his childhood really touched my heart. I literally cried hearing this story. I had a pretty similar childhood too. Although I had an older sister rather than an older brother. My mother passed away last year.
That is awesome! I can't draw that well right now I have always liked art but I just felt I couldn't do it when I was younger but I am currently trying to teach myself how to draw
Great video for fans animation, powerpuff girls or just behind the scenes in general. The narrator was perfect and it had a great mood throughout the whole thing.
This almost made me cry. True and pure talent. What happened with that ? they're just recycling our cartoons and manning them dumb like this upcoming generation. *cries*
27:22 That got me. Actually the entire narration was top tier entertainment! This show will always have a special place in my nostalgic childhood heart.
Watching these documentaries always makes me inspired to create my own story and maybe some day will be turned into a cartoon. It's always so facinating to me how these creators start these types of popular shows
I just wanna thank from the bottom of my heart to all this people who made possible this show! they gave me a lot of nice and funny moments during my childhood, i miss those old days! thank you to everyone involved in the Powerpuff Girls! BTW the narrator is marvelous!! 😂
We all owe Hanna-Barbera our childhood. The Flintstones, Jetsons, Super Friends, Scooby Doo, Johnny Quest, (Cartoon Network) Batman The Animated Series, Saturday Morning Cartoons, Dexter Laboratory, Powerpuff Girls, (2010s) Chowder, Adventure Time, Regular Show, Steven Universe, many many many more kids cartoons. Thank you, Hanna-Barbera/Cartoon Network for entertaining us for decades and decades to come.
EG Daily and Tara Strong must've been excited to do this show due to the fact that they voiced Tommy and Dil Pickles respectively on the Rugrats so this just made them create even more memories
Ok did some one post this to reddit again? cause this video was only 3000 views yesterday XD once again im glad every one is enjoying this documentary!
Man seeing Genndy here was awesome! His direction with Samurai Jack and this show is amazing. This video was completely awesome and I just watches the rest tonight, loved that ending with all of them saying that PPG's phrase hahah!
***** OHHHHH never mind, I get what you're saying now. Yes I did reply to your comment, but it was in response to the part where you liked how they all said the outro at the very end. I'm sorry, for a second I thought they were two separate comments lol
The Powerpuff Girls we have now is nothing compared to this one. I can't believe Craig McCracken decided to not make anymore new episodes of the Powerpuff Girls.
+SickChip I agree!!! Ren and Stimpy came as close to being an adult cartoon as it could, being on Nick...and the Powerpuff Girls weren't quite to that level...so that's why I'm surprised...not saying Ren and Stimpy was a bad show.
despite its name and appearance this show was not a girly show :P far from it. for me when i was a kid it was a show i often watched alone cause i thought it was a girls show at first.
I’ll admit, you do a good job with animating the girls’ movements as they fly by keeping them in one place as you move their hair and Blossom’s bow up and down, especially when Bubbles’ pigtails twirl around, and the background to the left or right, and speaking of Blossom’s bow, I guess that’s one sign of her appearance as leader of the trio because it’s like a crown.
Wow this was an amazing documentary! As a fan of PPG, I have learned so much! I actually never knew anything about Craig, I had only ever really saw his name always listed in the credits. What a cool dude! I really appreciate everyone speaking out/behind the scenes. It just goes to show you how being a nerd/loser growing up, You can become a success!
Loved me some Powerpuff Girls and Samurai Jack when I was an older teen/young adult. They just had something new and edgy about them that was against the norm and cool.
I saw Craig setting next to Lauren, he was so still I thought it as an image. But no, the guy really did look that tired. Man, god bless Mkcraken for giving us so many great memories that made our childhood. Hope he’s getting more rest these days. Though, recent news has said he has a Foster’s remake and PPG reboot in the works, so I bet my chemical X he’ll have his hands full.
I first watched this show with my daughter when she was maybe 4 thinking it would be too much of a kiddy type show for me, but actually started enjoying watching it.
If Linda Simensky could've accepted Craig's creation, then we'd be glad it would've been on Nick instead of CN, so they wouldn't torture them with a reboot
The problem with Nick is that they tend to seize all of the creative control over their shows, basically leaving the actual creators with pretty much nothing. This is why when Danny Antonucci pitched ED, EDD N EDDY to both Nick and CN, he ultimately went with CN, because they were willing to let he and his team do what they wanted, whereas Nick wanted to call all the shots.
I like how they used the narrator from the show.

Craig made his father proud.
I bet these people felt betrayed when they saw the new PPG.
They were upset that the studio didn't bring them back.
Miguel Rivera They felt betrayed and they were outraged

He did the right thing and killed it while it was still good, saved it from becoming a long drawn out piece of shit. Then cartoon network was like...... yeah lets do that. So stupid
Apparently he's working on a revival of his own.
Wow crazy Craig made three of my favorite shows! Powerpuff Girls, Dexter, AND Fosters Home!?!? Holy Cow

I've been in love with the Powerpuff Girls since I first saw their show.
when these came out i was 20 years old and i loved it never missed an episode
This was my child hood !!! Thank you for bringing this to life !!! 👏👏👏
Loved me some Powerpuff Girls and Samurai Jack when I was an older teen/young adult. They just had something new and edgy about them that was against the norm and cool.
After all these years. we FINALLY see James L. Venable, Samurai Jack's composer
I saw Craig setting next to Lauren, he was so still I thought it as an image. But no, the guy really did look that tired. Man, god bless Mkcraken for giving us so many great memories that made our childhood. Hope he’s getting more rest these days. Though, recent news has said he has a Foster’s remake and PPG reboot in the works, so I bet my chemical X he’ll have his hands full.
Cathy Cavadini, Tara Strong, & E.G. Daily didn't voice The Powerpuff Girls; they ARE The Powerpuff Girls.
I hope we get to see them in PPG costumes someday.
Craig McCracken is like a second father to The Powerpuff Girls and Lauren Faust is like a mother to The Powerpuff Girls as well.
OOOooh damn the nostalgia hit hard with this one...
Advertises the Powerpuff Girls, shows a picture of the Flintstones
+James Porter i know right? ill fix it
+fruitsnackia2012 You don't have to, I like it that way
James Porter
oh really? well i already changed it lol
+fruitsnackia2012 Sorry
James Porter
lol its ok. :P
29:56 crazy to think how much time these guys put into both the show, and Zelda OoT.
Catherine Cavadini, Tara Strong, and Elizabeth Daily are the true Powerpuff Girls.
how much the silhouette actually looks like craig mccracken is amazing
THIS! THIS is how documentaries of cartoons should be made!
Buttercup will always be my fave. I wish she had more episodes focused on her.
I had the dolls, the backpack and the coloring books. Powerful Girls was a huge part of my childhood.
I wonder what Craig thinks of the reboot
im sure he thinks they ruined it
According to his tweets...not a fan is only putting it mildly.
Skylar Stewart the reboot sucks😒😒😩
+HellRay That's what I guessed
I'd like to find his tweets on the reboot and know what he thinks.
Happy 25th anniversary, Powerpuff Girls!

Narrator: Craig got a second opinion to make sure he wasn't thinking with his head, and not his-
Me: Heart!
Narrator: -pickle!
Me: >:0
This was a great show because it did not talk down to the kids and or treat them like they were dumb.
I first watched this show with my daughter when she was maybe 4 thinking it would be too much of a kiddy type show for me, but actually started enjoying watching it.
If Linda Simensky could've accepted Craig's creation, then we'd be glad it would've been on Nick instead of CN, so they wouldn't torture them with a reboot
Ethan Weber but then it might've become like SpongeBob or Fairly OddParents, where it runs for WAAAAY longer than it should
Stereo Monovici But the reboot is good even though they did a twerking episode and got rid of one of my favorite characters.
Hey. I can have opinions too y'know.
I believe the show would run shorter on nick
The problem with Nick is that they tend to seize all of the creative control over their shows, basically leaving the actual creators with pretty much nothing. This is why when Danny Antonucci pitched ED, EDD N EDDY to both Nick and CN, he ultimately went with CN, because they were willing to let he and his team do what they wanted, whereas Nick wanted to call all the shots.
I did not expect to watch this whole thing. Damn this was interesting.
