Powerpuff Girls Movie Review

For nine years now, Craig McCracken has pleased loyal fans with three petite, young super-powered girls with both the responsibility to save Townsville and a bedtime curfew. Now, with this movie, you can see for yourself the things that transacted to turn the Powerpuff Girls into the heroes they are today. And few movies based on cartoons ever have or will turn out as good as this one did.
Visually, the movie is just stunning. The shapes and figurines that compose the characters and objects, such as the circular shape of the Powerpuff Girls' heads, are consistent and almost realistic in appearance. The distinctive art style of the show, while slightly changed, stays true to its roots: Four-fingered hands, the aforementioned shapes, and the thick lines are still there. The color used is impressive as well; each character, object, and environment is realized using appropriate pigmentation. Whatever mood you're supposed to feel is caught in the respective scenes in the forms of color- and sound, too.
Sound-wise, this movie is just as good. The sound effects are in-synche with the motion of the objects that make them, such as the revving of vehicles or the bouncing of the ball during the tag sequence. The music is pretty good too, with a sort of techno-retro style to it during action sequences, piano during depressing scenes, etc. But the real juice, as far as sound goes, is the voice acting. Every single character who talks is brought to life with a voice actor with a distinctive voice, an unmistakable method of delivery, and an overall sense of feeling. The voice acting is so real, I actually do think it's the characters and not the voice actors talking.
The bonus features are pretty good, but not as great as they could be. There is an audio commentary- which I'm always game for in a movie- the theatrical trailer, which I guess is worth watching in its own right, and a trailer for a few Powerpuff games out for release. What I really liked, though, were the character interviews. Five characters- Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup, the Mayor of Townsville, and Mojo Jojo- each take a turn sitting in a couch or a chair and answer to an interviewer.
The plot of the story is pretty good. There's actually not much to say about it, but I'll say this much- It's got a lot of action, quite a fair amount of humor, and just enough story. It's more than an hour long, and the story isn't rushed too quickly. Unlike many other cartoon-based movies, it isn't paced at the point of being boring to watch and impossible to keep up with.
All-in-all, this product is certainly worth investigating. If you're already a fan, it's a must-have, and if you just happen to be in that stage when you are interested in the show but can't call yourself a fan just yet (like I was when I got this product), it is highly reccomended.
Well, there's my review! I hope it was helpful to you.
Until next time, fellow readers!
