There is no way I COULD be watching this SPECIAL again. I loved the original Powerpuff Girls which used to be both funny and entertaining mixed together, It's getting the same fate as Spongebob Squarepants now if it's gets worse as I heard it's coming back in 2016. Characters had their personalities changed Like Bubbles used to be a Cute and Joy of Laughter, Now she is a Idiot and a Crybaby. Blossom is just now annoying and won't shut up. Buttercup is also out of character too, I don't care if the critics or The creator himself like this. Every time I see the new designed girls, I say: "Why is that!??!" I have a feeling that the colors in this awful CGI animation are almost pop-culture references like bright colors and making them hard to see the characters. Please, Stick to the original instead of this piece of crap. The original one is a pure gem and better than this abomination. Hopefully it will come back in two years from now and keep the original ones with the same quality, Or it's going to an downfall. If you want to see a show that ton's of the pop-culture references, Watch My Little Pony: Friendship is magic or Fanboy and Chum chum. I'm so sorry that this review is rushed!

I really loved the Powerpuff girls, and i love all of the episodes, even the movie, the key to the city episode, and now.. this episode. Cartoon Network really messed up the whole production of this special because of Craig McCracken was not involved with this one. The continuity is especially, without a doubt, nowhere close to the original episodes, because Craig Mccracken throws in a curve-ball to change the arts. At least the special gives off a few good ideas, and a handful of exciting moments, but unfortunately, it is not enough for the girls and their professor to recover from this malicious loss in control. On the other hand, the graphics look so showgirls-esque, and only a hyper-active Fanny can squeeze any enjoyment out of Cartoon Network's latest adventure with the girls. Overall, i love the Cathy Cavadini, Tara Strong, and Elizabeth Daily, and the original voice actor's reprisals of their respected roles. Concluding my review, Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup were not too cute for me. Stick to the original episodes, even the post-movie episodes.Graphics: 1.5/10. Canon and Continuity: 0/10. Voice Acting: 10/10. Quality: 0/10. Overall: F-/

Boy it has been half a decade, since we saw POWERPUFF GIRLS RULE in 2008. I saw some teaser art for this special. I worried about that it will be stereotypically girly like JEM, STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE, RAINBOW-BRITE, and the first three generations of MY LITTLE PONY, but I was wrong. Before I talk about my thoughts about it, let me supply you with a little history lesson.From 1929 to 1934, America was suffering through The Great Depression. There were superheroes like Superman, Flash Gordon, Shazam, Captain Marvel and Buck Rogers who were used to boost morale and raise spirits. Then America was struck by terrorism on September 11th, 2001. With that there were shows like POWERPUFF GIRLS, DEXTER'S LABORATORY, JOHNNY BRAVO, COURAGE THE COWARDLY DOG, and FAIRLY ODDPARENTS. They were used to continue the tradition on boosting morale and raising spirits through the power of laughter and pop-culture references. Over the next ten years, political correctness had affected the government, and then the media and technology. Negativity had infected society and they were statement films and shows like IDIOCRACY, THE JERSEY SHORE, DAN VS. and GOD BLESS America. These had negative role-models carried bad messages to prove that life stinks! This drove the world mad. Now with a troubled times, there were a few shows that are struggling to keep the tradition like T.U.F.F. PUPPY and WANDER OVER YONDER. With love and respect for the past and pop-culture references, it is time for the girls to make a comeback.With that history lesson aside, what I wrote was true. I did watch this show yesterday and I had a laugh out of it. It is good to hear the old voices and familiar music, but the design looked different. It doesn't look like an episode of the show, but it feels like an episode from the show. I heard that Butch Hartman was involved, but he wasn't. When I read that Craig McCracken, the show's original creator, was not involved, then how come I read the text "created by Craig McCracken" under the show's title? It's a mystery. In a world dominated by cartoons that are negative, contain character designs, that are complete eyesore, irritating voices that makes you want to press the mute button and messed up story-lines. Then this special is a breath of fresh air. I highly recommend it. If you enjoy this special and the original series, then you will enjoy IDW's comic book re-boot. It is faithful to the campy cartoon series. Rated TV-Y7 for comedic and fantasy violence and peril. This has been another "Mathew Praises".

And that's the bad thing. The 3D wasn't an appealing choice, everything blends in together and makes it hard to recognize characters. The humor is nothing like it used to be. Repeating the same catch phrase over and over again. The entire plot is so random, within 3 minutes they fight a robot, go to the store, and play a game. It's almost insulting how much they have dumbed down the show. The super bloomed lighting makes the show very bright and hard on the eyes. For kids this might seem entertaining.I grew up watching the original show, and was somewhat excited to see it come back. But the entire show felt like a disappointment. A show they should have left alone.
