What happens

The Powerpuff Girls is an American animated superhero television series created by Craig McCracken for Cartoon Network. The show centers on Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup, three kindergarten-aged girls with superpowers. They live in the fictional city of Townsville with their father and creator, a scientist named Professor Utonium, and are frequently called upon by the city's mayor to help fight nearby criminals and other enemies using their powers. McCracken created a short film, Whoopass Stew!, about a trio of child superheroes known as the Whoopass Girls, which was only shown at festivals. Following his hiring by Hanna-Barbera, McCracken changed its name to The Powerpuff Girls and produced the series' pilot for their What a Cartoon! series, which premiered during the Space Ghost Coast to Coast episode "1st Annual World Premiere Toon-In" on February 20, 1995. The Powerpuff Girls premiered on November 18, 1998, on Cartoon Network. It aired for six seasons, with the final episode airing on March 25, 2005. Along with two pilots, a feature-length film, and three specials, a total of 78 episodes were produced. It was nominated for six Emmy Awards, nine Annie Awards, and a Kids' Choice Award during its run. Various spin-off media include an anime series, three soundtracks, various video games, a 2016 reboot series, and an upcoming reboot series, as well as various licensed merchandise. A planned live-action television series was cancelled. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
