What happens

The Powerpuff Girls Movie is a 2002 American animated superhero action comedy film based on the television series The Powerpuff Girls. It was directed and co-written by series creator Craig McCracken, co-written by Charlie Bean, Lauren Faust, Paul Rudish, and Don Shank, and stars the regular television cast of Cathy Cavadini, Tara Strong, E. G. Daily, Roger L. Jackson, Tom Kane, Tom Kenny, Jennifer Hale, and Jennifer Martin. A prequel to the television series, the film follows the newly created Powerpuff Girls (Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup) as they become ostracized for inadvertently destroying Townsville and assisting in Mojo Jojo's plot for world domination. Series composer, James L. Venable wrote the film's music score. Produced by Cartoon Network Studios as its first theatrical film, The Powerpuff Girls Movie was released in theaters on July 3, 2002, by Warner Bros. Pictures. Although, the film received generally positive reviews from critics, it was a box-office failure, earning $16 million on a budget of $11 million, which was partly blamed on a crowded marketplace. In June 2026, a new Powerpuff Girls film was announced to be in development at Warner Bros. Pictures Animation. Unlike The Powerpuff Girls Movie (which was produced solely by Cartoon Network Studios), a new Powerpuff Girls film will be produced by Warner Bros. Pictures Animation and Cartoon Network Studios.
