The Powerpuff Girls Movie

Directed by Craig McCracken, who adapts his widely adored and endlessly marketed Cartoon Network hit, The Powerpuff Girls takes place in the retro-futuristic dystopia of Townsville, where the populace is ruled by fear and the mayor is an idiot child-man, wholly reliant on his buxom assistant. The accidental creation of a kindly but absentminded professor, the Powerpuff Girls attempt to fit into society, but learn, like Spider-Man before them, that with great power comes great responsibility. Ostracized for their special powers and chastised for destroying much of their community while playing tag, the girls find an unlikely kindred spirit in Mojo Jojo, who tricks them into helping him with his diabolical plan to rule Townsville. —The A.V.
