What did everyone think of The Powerpuff Girls Movie?

I like it, really awesome origin movie
You guys are so awesome
This was my favorite movie and series as a kid ♥️
The theme song is going strong.
What happened to doing Jurassic world fallen kingdom this week!
Bionicle (Generation One) Commercials!
The movie did so badly because only half the audience went to see it. Powerpuff Girls were a hit with boys and girls, but little boys didn't want to go to a "girl movie" or their parents just didn't let them.
It did poorly due to Men In Black II and poor marketing.
apparently the show despite still having a fanbase it had somewhat declined in popularity.
The Sam Raimi Spider-Man film came out that same year and hogged the attention. I only knew of this film's existence because I was an avid viewer of Cartoon Network, where a lot of commercials for the film were shown. I was hyped and went to see it in theaters, and I wasn't disappointed.
This was in your country... (English speaker coutnries) you guys are weird...
The film Bombed due to it being marketed extremely poorly(Thanks to AOL Time Warner) and due to it not including the Rowdyruff Boy Characters. Powerpuff Girls was fairly neo feminist its first several seasons.
Cartoon Network was able to save face though. The DVDs sold very well. And it was promoted heavily and referenced on Adult Swim cartoons like The Brak Show.
Put the kitten in every video. No matter how contrived the reason.
More Cats!
SamyulDavis I agree, even if it's only a short cameo. I also would like to see the cat in every video from this point onwards.
Yes! He's so adorable!
Yeah, I mean with all the joke reaction shots typical kitten behavior lends itself to, shouldn't be too hard.
At the very least Chaplin has to play the nostalgia critic if he ever reviews that movie where the guy gets turns into a cat.
>The Powerpuff Girls is a Cartoon Network show
>Toonami is on Cartoon Network
>Toonami aired the first couple of Gorillaz videos back in the day
>Ace is now a temporary member of Gorillaz
🤔🤔🤔
Sometimes Toonami aired PPG episodes
Also this movie had a Gorillaz reference in it.
Temporary?
Well the creator of Gorillaz is actually a great friend of Craig McCracken
gorillaz was refrenced in the movie
I wish Samurai Jack had ended with a full-length film on this level.
Good news everyone
Same. At least we got a season that finally brought closure.
If you wanna talk technical, Samurai Jack's first 3 episodes (officially dubbed "The Premiere Movie") had a theatrical screening some time 'round late 2017, to commemorate the complete series Blu-Ray boxset.
But the final season was fantastic??
@@slayer45670 Play the Samurai Jack game on PS4, Xbox One and Switch, it has a much better ending to the series.
I think Doug really wants us to know he has a cat now.
and his humor is becoming a bit dry...
Mikayla Reynolds
Oh really? I thought he has a Mongoose ore something.
What a great cat!
Mikayla Reynolds what cat?
Hey I ain't complaining

Hey That Rhymes
Is it bad that I thought he said "The homo formerly known as Jojo"
@@robertofenloch9595 oh no no.🤣
All the big eyes are a reference to artist Margaret Keane, known for painting children with big eyes. I believe that's where the idea for the show came from.
So is that why their teacher is called Ms. Keane?
@@saulthechicanootaku yes!
@@videohistory722 Huh never knew that, nice 😎.
Also why the teacher is named Ms. Keane
Tim Burton made a movie about her
5:54 “You know, I have a nice car”
Plot Twist: That actually WAS his car.
Most likely.
Obviously, the cats' voiceover was faked, no cat would call their human "owner". Slave or Food Dispenser is the usual term.
Food dispenser 😹👏
"Mildly tolerable roommate" here, at least on good days. Then again, we've been living together for about 12 years now and familiarity builds tolerance.

That cat is a great guy.

Don’t trust cats, especially when they claim to love a lot of things.
Cats are 85% spite and contempt
He's doing so good!
I think cat is a pretty cool guy. Eh kills mouses and doesnt afraid of anything.
Agreed. The review was great but I would not complain about more Chaplin :)
I legit ADORED this movie as a kid. I never saw the cartoon, as we didn't have many channels on T.V. I loved that it took itself a little seriously, as it made me feel like I was watching a somewhat mature movie. I still love rewatching it to this day.
You’re a woman
I am a huge PPG fan and I gotta say.... this movie is just great. If you were a fan back then watching this was like a dream.
The movie goes along the tone of the series but it all makes sense.
I believe Doug didn't pay too much attention. He did bring up that scene where they walk around the ciry they destroyed but I am surprised he didn't brought up WHY Buttercup punches the monkey.
They were being pacifist, flying around saving people, but it was just too much.
The gorilla grabbed the puppy and didn't let go, buttercup being the most temperamental got angry and punched him but she immediately started to apologize. Blossom sees this and concludes it's actually the only choice they have. They have to fight. This also settles the whole "Blossom: commander and the leader, Bubbles: She's the joy and laughter. Buttercup: She's the toughest fighter." (Sorry)
I just believe it's a pretty strong scene, we gotta remember they are basically kinder gardeners.
But to be fair he pointed out some legit stuff like the first part of the movie being a little too long even for it's own good. That's fair. I also believe you can cut those scenes in half and get the same result and I agree that it could have been done a bit better since that time wasted could be used to develop the whole story a bit more.
Sorry for the walltext. I love PPG and I love this movie and I will defend it of course.
I earnestly agree with you, on nearly every point you've made.
Unfortunately, this guy makes his income on tearing classics apart. Folks like you and me have to assume the things we love will be insulted by this guy.
If you ever want to talk with someone with a slightly more sincere love of PPG movie, though, hit me up.
Never apologize for explaining yourself. People who are too lazy to read should be the ones apologizing
ryarod There’s also the fact that we have a lot of nostalgia for this series from our childhood that this guy stated he does not.
This is unrelated, but your comment made me remember that "Mega Babies" existed. Totally forgot about that cartoon until you mentioned they're basically kindergarteners. Thanks!
To be fair he made a lot of valid points. I love the Powerpuff Girls, and I watched the movie both in my childhood and recently, but the movie was rather mediocre. It was okay, but I think we could have gotten more out of a Powerpuff movie.
Sugar! Spice! And everything nice! These were the ingredients to make a perfect franchise. But one day, the producers at Cartoon Network accidentally added a secret ingredient: MODERN CULTURE!! Thus, the terrible reboot was born!!
Removing everything great from the original, Memes, Twerking and Bad Animation have dedicated their efforts to making toys and enraging fans.
Using their undignified shit-posting powers Degenerate, Dumbass, and Diarrhea have dedicated their millennial lives of impersonating past memes and the forces of tumblr.
The powerpuff girls aren't perfect. They suck
@@LILY-gd9qt Reboot or Original?
And then The producer's attack; with an army of 'Hip' middle aged adults
Hard to believe The Powerpuff Girls are gonna turn 20 years old this month (same day Mickey Mouse turns 90, as a matter of fact).
I'll forever remember PPG as an unforgettable classic.
It’s on hulu if you guys want to watch it (that is if you have a hulu account)
God I'm old

After Batman The Animated Series, Powerpuff Girls will forever be my favorite cartoon ever!
Edit: Not really a fan of the film.
Genndy tartakovsky is still making masterpiece today.
yea! HE BE STILL MAKIN’ MASTER PISS TODAY!
Ren and Stimpy + Anime = Powerpuff girls.
I would never have thought of the show like that, Thanks Doug.
Sixto Mar Cervantes Sailor Moon + Power Rangers = Pretty Cure
There is a Ren and Stimpy episode called “Powdered Toast Man v. Waffle Woman,” which definitely feels like a PPG episode
@@xavierkrantz1098 Digimon + Power Ranger = Digimon Frontier
I love this movie so damn much, I remember going to see it in theaters & sneaking around so kids I knew didnt catch me watching it but now IDGAF this is great and the OG powerpuff girls is my top 10 fav animated series of all time.
I see you everywhere! On waightlift stuff, mma stuff, animated stuff. Wherever I go your in the comments. Your such an awesome and we'll rounded dude!
Hey chocolate buddy coming here for some reminiscing?
You are a man of good taste, I salute you. o7
It's just a shame, at least here in Australia, it hasn't been available on DVD for years now. If not for TH-cam, I still wouldn't be able to watch this great movie.
Also, hey, man. Seriously did not expect to see you in the comments
JaxBlade i do too
I agree
That Gang Green Gang intro with Ace standing up is still one of the coolest pieces of animation ever!
Marcus Allen and just the critic it feel like friggin gorillaz
I totally thought Mojo Jojo said “this homo” instead of ‘hobo’ OOF
I mean it made sense to me that it was homo this I immediately connected it to the biological use of therm for humans and some other primeapes.

“I do not talk like that! The way I communicate is much different! I didn’t reiterate repeat reinstate the same thing over and over again! I am clear concise to the point!”
"One shall be the number of Mojo Jojos in the world and the number of Mojo Jojos in the world shall be one! Two Mojo Jojos is too many, and three is right out!"
Fun Fact: The guy who voiced Mojo Jojo in this movie and the original show was the voice for Ghostface in the Scream movies 👍
really?.. guy does a good English speaking Japanese accent
@@moonraven6145 not really "good" but that's the point.
good comedic accent I meant, I probably should of detailed my comment abit more.
Mind blown! :)
@@moonraven6145 yeah, I got ya. Mojo is also supposed tomsound like a bad anime dub and as a kid I never knew that because, well, I watched PPG in a dub.
"It's really weird but really awesome to see this much animate violence in a kid's film again!"
See, Doug gets it! That's why we loved the original. It was obscenely, deliciously violent. So much so, that it becomes fun to see because the show itself is having fun with the display.
Unfortunately though many felt the scenes of destruction were in poor taste due to 9/11 occurring less than a year prior
I guess that’s a core reason why some people must love Princess Mononoke. Great film, and I know its PG-13, but it is also a Studio Ghibli picture, so probably a lotta kids’ parents just let them watch it without much thought, lol
9:57 hello I’m the nostalgia kitten, I remember so meow don’t have to!
This show KNEW how to do action and impact right. The reboot, though...
@Negative Skank Age shouldn't be an issue. If Cyril hasn't seen the original, then he just needs to watch it to change his opinion.
I hate the reboot so much, every time I watch it I want to off myself
The original show was one of the most violent kid's shows I ever watched as a kid and I watched Dragon Ball Z at the same time as this. If anyone doesn't believe me, take a closer look at what Bubbles is actually doing in her fights in "Bubblevicious".
Too sweet and too memey and not enough nice and spice
yay miku XD
So Jack Black is a part of Powerpuff Girls universe too?
He was actually supposed to guest star in a musical episode called "See me Feel me Gnomey", but he had to be recast because of scheduling conflicts and the episode wound up getting banned anyway for seizure inducing visuals and/or a possible anti-comunist message.
MrGear yes he is.
But remember, you could use your 1000 degree knife power to cut that part!
@@andrewgoeing2701 Lmao whats wrong with anti communism?
Wasn't anti conunism, was more luke anti fascism and la little revolutionary. I watch the episode every year, really love it
I remember seeing this in theaters and being mildly impressed with the animation.
‘Mildly impressed’, lmfao
15:32 Those are the actual employees of Cartoon Network!
You must finish the job and review the 4th Alvin and the Chipmunks movie
please kill me I think he’s gonna do it next season. HE WILL FINISH THEMM!! (In my General Zod impression)

Gotta give nostalgia critic credit for doing a Gorillaz joke
Metalocalypse (wow, I’m surprised my iPad voice recognition can pick that up) and Gorillaz should have had a crossover episode.
@@mathewgodfrey1517 YOU'RE A GENIUS
Particularly since Ace of the Gangreen Gang canonically played in the band while Murdoc was indisposed. No lie.
I’m so surprised he even knows about what the band has done with Ace too, his comment made my day

Anyone else already miss the Nostalgiaween Bettlejuice homage opening?
Me
I do :3
3:09 - you know, from the interior design of his apartment....Professor Plutonium seems pretty rich! o_O
He is an inventor.
Fun fact, the Powerpuff Girls were originally supposed to be called the whoop-ass girls but the channel made them change the title.
oh yeah the can of whopp-ass
Yep, and they originated as Craig McCracken's final project at CalArts in 1992.
CartmanFrost11 that actually would’ve made the show better to watch.
@@phantomtail2270 heck yes! Stupid Cartoon Network being all you can't have the word ass in your show title, haha
Well obviously he couldn't pitch it as a TV show for kids like that, but yeah for school you can get away with that kind of shit in a final project.
There’s a reference to Gorillaz, when Mojo Jojo reads the newspaper, just look on the left side of the pages
The leader of the gang Green gang is the new base player for them. You probably know that but it's pretty weird
Weird yes but the two creators from each brand knew each other and worked together before so it made sense that eventually ace wanted some way out of the criminal life and enjoy a band eventally.
Plus it’s gorillaz they never made sense and had replaced one of the band members with a robot so it’s not rare.
@@multimediatesting720 bass, not base

I have this movie on VHS, bought it from a Salvation Army, haven't regretted it ever since.
You gotta like this comment if you sung it
I can hear it
I hat the show
I knew Doug was gonna make a Gorillaz joke when Ace appeared. Not disappointed.
Me neither
I'm glad he knows it and I bet he likes Gorillaz.
I'm surprised he didn't mention the Gorillaz crossover that actually was in the movie.
their actually intimidating in the movie unlike in the show
I liked just about every joke in this review
Really fun origin for the PPG, with interesting references and enjoyable serious moments! Unfortunately, it doesn't have a wide screen dvd/bluray release for whatever reason.
Hearing the words Jojo made me realize just how badly I'd love to see Doug's reaction to Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. Yes that truly is all it takes for a Jojo fan.
Funfact: According to some of the Old Staff who worked on both the show and Movie If the PPG Movie Did Well Enough A sequel Explaining How the Girls met HIM would've been Made
Dee Kae Dandridge holly shit if that was a thing it would have beeing the most epic shit in animation history. HIM, with aku and bill cipher, is one of the most badass cartoon villains ever and animating him (no pun intended ) in a big budget movie could have got the most creative and gorgeous visuals ever put on screen, maybe even on pair with old school Disney films or Miyazaki , man what a waste opportunity ... insted we got the reboot that is just as bad as teen titans go.
Awww. I would of liked to see that.
Well fuck
That would have been amazing. They tried to explain it in the anime...but I don't know if that's cannon or not
@@ko9killer it's not just for that anime
12:27 you missed the opportunity to say *"ape-ocalypse".*
BETMARKonTube Townsville Horror Story: Ape-pocalypse.
@@LiveNiceness14
o_o) that sounds cool!!!
I like how at 15:04 it says RoboCop but plays a clip from another film
I personally love this movie. I mean, the show was my childhood so I do recognize the nostalgia blinders I am currently wearing. However, I only saw the movie when I got older and I still loved it.
Whil I do recognize that the movie has pacing issues, I attribute that more to the run time of everything. And, for the first cinematic release by Cartoon Network, I think it did a great job. I mean, I look back and try to think about what they could trim down but all there really is is the tag scene and even then there isn't a while lot to trim there as it was necessary that the girls cause tons of destruction.
It was also necessary to show just how far their naivety ran. They movie takes place in a span shorter than a week. These are innocent little girls who are just starting to learn about the world who, unlike other kids their age, haven't seen any of the darker parts of Townsville or had it affect them.
As for the serious moments, I prefer for programs to take themselves seriously. As said earlier, these are complete innocents who haven't had much explained to them yet. So when all their hard work to fix their mistake creates basically an apocalypse and being turned away by their dad, I'd say that calls for a serious moment. Also, as for going back to the professor, Critic he's their dad and they live him; of course they'll go back! :p
Also, the movie followed continuity from the show which I loved! The main fault of the film, in my eyes, is that it falls into the trap that many movies based on television shows do: They appeal more to fans of the show more than trying to make a film for all audiences. Nothing wrong with that on paper but it is a shame to see an opportunity to bring the franchise to new hights used to make a more complicated episode that is only a movie because it couldn't fit in the usual runtime.
"Followed continuity from the show" They retconned lots of important staples, such as them being unaffected by lava, yet they feared getting burned by an incinerator, and Buttercup's crush on Ace does not appear in the film when they are interrogated, both of which happened in "Buttercrush", the Professor does not throw out Mojo Jojo in the film like the Professor said he did in "Mr. Mojo's Rising".
To say they didn't retcon these things is pretty much a lie, much like how history had been whitewashed, as in omitting all the atrocities that took place in the country.

Doug referenced Gorillaz when Ace came on but not when they were actually on screen for a second

My Favorite SpongeBob Moment!
Does anyone else feels he just doesn't "get it" with the reason for some writing and art style decisions in the movie, and did he always point out every little detail the movies he review? Or is it just me?
He definetly feels more disconnected to what he reviews compared to when he first started out and reviewed GI JOE or Transformers. HotDiggityDemon's Brain Dump on PPG has a lot more heart put into it since he actually grew up watching the show and movie
He's already reviewed everything he remembers watching as a child, and so is nostalgic to him (like the Street Fighter live action movie, and the Ferngully animated movie). Stuff he reviews now is basically newer stuff and/or stuff that's been requested.
No you don't. It really happens
No. He gets it fine. You must be new here.
He's becoming more like cinemasins guy with each episode
I personally think this movie is underrated
IT's box office performance disagrees
Yes
Same.
MegaSoulHero True
@@trippcory wouldn't that be a reason they think it's underrated?
Mojo Jojo remains to be one of the best cartoon villains of all time
Dont forget the cruel and sinister amoeba boys!
Daniel DeRey did anyone else think Him was a girl?
Absolutely agreed
@@ko9killer question
Mojo ain't got nothing on fuzzy lumpkins
4:09 I like how he complained about the lack of "Non-stop Frenetic Animated Action" then one minute later gripes that there's too much. 😂
13:50 years later INVINCIBLE will sit in that spot and talk to an alien
I loved this movie, I was really shocked that it didn't do as well as people hope. It worked as solid introduction to the Powerfuff series and to this day is one of my favorite shows to come from Cartoon Network.
from what I heard it might have been because the show had somewhat declined in popularity at the time the movie was released
@@t_man7259 The movie bombed for two reasons - one, Warner Bros. didn't promote it at all except for on Cartoon Network; two, it opened 4th of July weekend against Men in Black II. It didn't stand a chance.
@@jbwarner8626 And Lilo & Stitch was also a smash hit around the same time

5:17 DON'T TELL ME YOU TOTALLY WOULDN'T DO THE SAME THING.

(Also great review! I enjoyed the show a lot as a kid but I had similar thoughts on the movie.)
Fun fact. There was a contest to see who could get their drawings of The Powerpuff Girls and the Professor shown in the movie. And this photo @4:08 clearly won the contest.
I remember entering that contest
I grew up with the power puff girls, my siblings and I, and even my dad, were all obsessed with them. We went to see this movie in the theater and bought it when it came out on DVD. I've seen it dozens of time. I absolutely loved it. The Power Puff girls TV show had so many life lessons that are silly and stupid to adults but to a kid were new and interesting and challenging, and I still remember those life lessons today. God bless the power puff girls and the PPG movie.
TRUTH!
Too bad they ruined that show with that terrible reboot
Potato Man don’t worry it is finally burning in reboot hell, it will haunt you no longer.
Well except 2016 PPG, we don’t talk about that
When you said PPG I thought that was what what the rating was. 😆
This was my favorite movie as a kid, I was probably around 6 or 7. Even then I found it a little slow at times, but it didn't matter because I liked looking at the action. I think the mind of a kid is geared more towards long, silly action scenes than plot-- and that's what the movie was made for. But even as an adult, I don't think I could stop loving it. The Powerpuff Girls still has a unique charm I can't resist.
3:50 the devil puff girls. And it is hilarious!!!
It wasn’t a horrible movie, just not memorable. For a tv show adaptation it was a good origin story and didn’t introduce any new lame characters
I still love the movie and find it very memorable, only critic, that doug pretty much mentions, some scenes are just going on waaaay too long
Still better then Batman vs Superman ;D
true...now that I think about it....but the tv series was as simple as it can be and hence why I think the movie never made any convoluted plot as it was staying true to the source material keeping things simple
Only thing it lacked though was more humor and comedy.
I find it memorable, only because it was basically my childhood movie
I personally really liked this movie. While it isn't perfect, it feels like a complete origin story for the girls, while also working as a standalone movie. Sure, it can drag in a lot of places, but there's a lot of heart, effort, action and fun moments in it that makes me appreciate the original series even more and hate the reboot even more. It's not my favorite Cartoon Network movie (The honor goes to "Ed, Edd and Eddy: The Big Picture Show"), but it's definitely up there as one of my favorites.
Ad it is still better superhero movie then BvS ;D
@@TheRezro oh i think we can all agree on that. Poor Ben Affleck and Henry Cavil
The one batman scene with him saving martha puts it leagues ahead of the catwoman movie. The rest can go away though.
Big Picture was an amazing movie. My second favorite has to be Operation Z.E.R.O.
100th like
6:06 how do you know the years they were born?
14:48 Nothing but a cathartic feeling when they finally just start beating the shit out of everything, if og ppg was good at anything it was gratuitous violence.

Chaplen is adorable also I'm really surprised in the Powerpuff girls movie they didn't let Mojo JoJo tell the Powerpuff girls he helped give them their superpowers and he helped giving life to them
This was my favorite movie as a child. Powerpuff Girls continues to be one of my favorite tv shows of all time.
Glad you like it
So let me get this straight, when the girls are destroying the city while playing tag, Doug thinks it's too much. When the girls are on the asteroid and it's a quiet moment, Doug wants shit to blow up. Pick a goddamn side, Doug!
the scene when their questing themselves is artsy but its suppose to be and it shows they were created and don't know what to do...their not humans so its genuine and smart since their not even a month old ..its them saying why were we made without saying it and it shows them disagreeing breaking up to show how each of them is different at handling this yet all react to the professor getting hurt ..he was their dad who wanted them to choose right over wrong and show that town ...that's what they did in their moment of choice ...not sure why he didn't see how good it was

You mean how we all reacted cause the reboot is a genuine pile of flaming garbage, it just looks worse, Craig McCracken didn't want it to happen but it did anyway, they got rid of Ms. Bellum and they made sure to get everyone from the original cast EXCEPT the voices of the girls?
I also that Craig McCracken absolutely hates the reboot, as well.
Hey, I think I found the reboot defender.
@@ElFreakinCid I don't recall I said anything about "defending" reboot. I just thought reboot series is SOOO bad, it WOULDN'T be normal if some of cartoon fans turns into angry apes. Don't you agree??
@@Eccegato Aside from people flipping out over the network getting rid of the original voice actors, no one really "raged" over it. Original fans just rolled their eyes and ignored the reboot for the most part, especially since people are used to CN's silly thinking that bringing back old shows and ruining what made them loved in the first place "for the new generation" is a good marketing strategy.
@@coolman5242 I remember quite a few people raging once they had the girls twerking, and the episode where one of the writers had a character that looked like himself with blossom having the hots for, jesus
8:29 Dang, phineas really let himself go man.
5:38 Matrix Reloaded Tag! My favorite part!
*As someone who grew up with the series, I've always found The Powerpuff Girls Movie to be a near-perfect balance between telling a solid superhero origin story and expanding on established lore.*
I agree that, as a product, it's pretty standard in most respects. However, I'd argue that it didn't need to be clever or have any twists as Doug suggested. In fact, that could've potentially worked against it.
One important thing to understand about these kinds of films is that, while they are made for general audiences first and fans second, they're still made for the fans. It's largely an extension of the series.
A fair amount of its plot is retelling/re-interpreting events we already knew (Ex- Mojo Jojo's origin). As a prequel, it's fundamentally limited to certain degrees in what it can & can't do within canon.
A majority of those familiar with *TPPG,* at least in my anecdotal experience, who saw this in theaters had a good idea of what they were going to get since its announcement, even before further trailers.
Its purpose wasn't to reinvent the franchise but use nostalgia for it to its advantage in marketing, to rekindle its value for a new generation of viewers in addition to accumulating support from older fans.
It was never setting out to provide some grand twist on the formula. Everything in it from driving (albeit, familiar and often predictable) story beats to small references throughout was done by design.
Had it strived to be as clever, epic, surprising, and crowd-pleasing as possible within conventions of its mythos, the spectacle of that could've easily distracted and detracted from its intended impact.
*It was structured as a love letter to the characters, not the next great animated blockbuster. And in that context, it fully accomplished its goal imo. I can appreciate its commitment to that direction.*
Well said!

Still doesn't make it a good movie. I remember watching this as a kid being, idk... Fine with it. I'm not gonna praise it nor gonna condemn it. It's fine for what it is and rewatching it today. I still felt the same emotion as I felt when I was 10. I will always remember this as a time waster. Hate me, idc
@@Dead8Head "Good" is subjective, and you're entitled to your preference. And no, I don't hate you. That would be childish, to hate someone over a difference of opinion on a movie.
@@Justmyhandle immature or mature. A life without hate is boring.
Oh goodness he is so over the moon about this KITTY, I love it.
9:56 OH MY GOSH, WHAT A CUTE CAT!
I mean, Utonium should really have explained to the teacher what he meant by special and told the girls not to abuse their powers frivolously.
On 20th aniversary of Ed Edd & Eddy do a review of Ed Edd & Eddy Big Picture Show
Still not as big of a butt fetish as Space Jam has.

Mihael Keehl what has she to do with that?
Edit: oh, is his profile picture, ok
NICE BUTT!!!!
@Gamesplotion! Caceres
I'm glad someone gets the reference.
I saw that movie recently and it was good.
14:02 okay, I will defend this scene. It shows the girls realizing the consequences of their actions by using their powers to help MoJo JoJo. They failed the city and its people, but worst of all they failed Professor Utonium, their father.
Geekevolution also brought up the movie's subtle mocking of the phrase "believe in yourself" because that's how Mojo manipulates them into using their powers. What the heck does "believe in yourself" without context even mean? It's useless on its own, like most trite feel-good phrases and that's a good parody.
1:32 I can see how he got into the gorillas
1% comments = the critic
9% comments = the movie
90% comments = Chaplin the Cat
What's the percentage on "Holy shit was that a motherfucking Mojo Jojo reference"?
Great Dane IT’S OVER 9............ 90% of the comments most likely complaining critic didn’t do a reference
This movie is underrated
I saw the movie a while ago and it was ok in my opinion, the show is better but the movie extends the show's opening to give a full origins on The Powerpuff Girls and their main arch enemy Mojo Jojo
please bring back The Top 11 Nostalgia Critic F Ups please
6:16 Wow, I didn't think it would take that long to make a Man of Steel reference. Edit: 7:19, Oh my God, did Man of Steel really get their dialogue from The Powerpuff Girls Movie?
If they did, they certainly didn't take the right lessons.
Nostalgia Critic finds the Powerpuff Girl's appearance creepy? That's something I never thought I'd ever hear.
Diego Bareno TBH, I find them creepy cute
Diego Bareno they have no fucking hands or feet just stumps
That's because he feels the need to exaggerate everything.
@@bluecorp8557 I know Right!
Their eyes take up half their head
I was surprised to discover this movie is freely available on TH-cam to watch! There's literally NO REASON not to give this one a go, even if you were never into the show as a kid or anything. It's only an hour and 15 mins long, and it's incredibly fun to look at, whether you like the plot or not.
My personal favorite shot in the movie is the one of Bubbles having just been tagged by Blossom and, with this adorable, indignantly frustrated look on her face, proceeds to blast up in the air, leaving a huge crater in the street.
My other favorite moment is the bit where Bubbles (she happens to be my favorite of the three lol) gets hold of what I'm pretty sure is meant to be a pygmy marmoset (the world's smallest - and BY FAR the cutest - monkey species) and actually CUDDLES IT TO DEATH XDDDD. Or at least, to the point of unconsciousness. But when I was a kid watching this, in my mind Bubbles accidentally kills a small animal by literally hugging the life out of it!
In fact, I've always wondered whether that bit was intended to be kind of a weird, subtle-yet-blatant comment on the unfortunate reality of children accidentally killing their small animal pets by cuddling them too intensely. If so, DAMN is that dark for a kid's movie! And this series in general ALREADY has a surprising amount of dark themes - even including the character "Him", a freaky, dominatrix-esque analogue for Satan (my favorite villain in the series, easily!).
Powerpuff Girls was definitely a trailblazing series at the time and, instead of caving in to the controversy it garnered from parents at the time and becoming a milquetoast piece of crap in its later seasons (like Dexter's Lab arguably did - the first 2 seasons were amazing and defined the show's style, season 3 wasn't bad but kinda average, and season 4 was just god-awful and I couldn't even watch it anymore), actually RAMPED-UP what made it so controversial. And it was FUCKING AWESOME because of it! It was one of those great cartoon shows from the 90s that listened to what the kids watching it liked, what their parents DIDN'T like, and actually made more of what the KIDS liked ('cuz let's face it, it's not like parents forbidding their kids from watching something actually PREVENTED them from watching it - if anything it just guaranteed all the more that the target audience would do whatever it took to watch it just to spite their parents! :P) and the show was great because of it.
And on that note, the 2016 PPG remake can go SUCK IT. It somehow managed to take ALL the aspects of what made PPG great, and basically SHIT ALL OVER IT. Seriously, the remake got EVERY. SINGLE. THING. DEAD. WRONG. Indeed, it almost seems downright CONTEMPTUOUS of the original show. And I'm SO GLAD it failed miserably. Its crash-and-burn failure just goes to show that kids today AREN'T actually stupid and they know good and well when they're being condescended and talked-down to. And they hate it just as much as anyone else does.
