The Legacy of The Powerpuff Girls (20th Anniversary Retrospective)
Рет қаралды 93,870
5 жыл бұрынWow, 20 years ago today marks the premiere of the Powerpuff Girls on Cartoon Network. That's just crazy to me, that it's been that long already. I may not have caught the show when it first premiered (earliest memories I have of it took place around the summer of '99), but it's been almost 20 years since I started watching it too. I can't name many shows that have been around for that long and never gotten old for me; Dexter's Lab is like the only one and that show kinda goes hand in hand with this one in a lot of ways haha.
But yes, here it is, a video that I knew I'd make ever since 2016. I always had a feeling that something like this would be how I introduced the original series on my channel (since this is the FIRST TIME I've made a video on it), and I'm really glad to finally have it out. It just wouldn't be right of me not to do something in celebration of the anniversary, so I decided that making a video compiling a lot of the important history behind the show would be the greatest way to do it. Of course, I couldn't fit everything in lol, but I think I covered the most important topics. Hope you guys enjoy it, this took a lot of effort for me to pull off.

My parents loved the show as much as I did, my dad would always watch it with me whenever he came back from base/iraq(i swear he liked it more than me) me and my little sister watched it when she got older and my mom always had a good time watching it with me. The show still holds up to this day and I still love watching it now, even more than I did then My favorite was bubbles growing up, my sister liked buttercup and my parents liked bubbles

This was a very endearing watch. Powerpuff Girls is a far greater show than I likely recognized when I was younger, and I'm happy to rediscover it like this. Also, I can't believe I never caught that "Alpha male" bit. How did they get away with that? XD I've seen PPG Z in its entirety ten years ago. It was alright. A fairly generic Magical Girls show, but it wasn't without its charm. I'm not sure I could watch through the entire thing again, but it was worth the one watch.

Great Video Shadow Streak. There's a lot to be said about this show and how it shaped Cartoon Network into the network that it is. One of my all time favorite episodes would have to be "Mime for a Change" because of the music, the characters and the animation. Cartoon Network as a whole is nothing without the parts that make it: Dexter's Lab is the brains Courage the Cowardly Dog is the backbone Ed Edd and Eddy are the spirit Johnny Bravo is the energy and the Powerpuff girls are the heart

So many memorable moments of this show. Holy crap, 20 years. Feels like yesterday when Bubbles was screaming for Buttercup to squish that cockroach. Or how about the time Fuzzy turned one of Bubbles' pigtails into meat and she literally flew into a rage. Buttercup refusing a bath. Blossom gaining ice breath. The girls trying to help a monster find his kitty (major cat lover here). A cat that was controlling the professor. Mojo's plot to turn everyone into dogs, twice. The sandman who just wanted some sleep for a change. The boogeyman. That freaking zombie magician. The entire city falling ill thanks to the Ameoba Boys. The mime sapping all color and Bubbles desperately trying to get it back with crayons. The girls refusing veggies. Bubbles getting glasses. The body swap episode. There's just so many to list. Everything is slowly coming back. It really is difficult to top this series.

Well said, dude! I too, don't know where I'd be without Powerpuff Girls- mainly the 1998 series- and neither does America and the world. It also inspires me to be more proactive and to be a better person too though my father thinks it's nonsense. It's gotten not only you and me but everyone else through so many tough obstacles, it's one big unforgettable masterpiece I can't tell you how grateful we are to have such a show like this. My mother thinks I'm too old of Powerpuff Girls but no one's too old for this masterpiece in animation history that is the Powerpuff Girls 1998 series. I think we should also give the 2016 Powerpuff Girls reboot a little respect too. Out of all my obsessions with cartoons and anime such as Arthur, Dragon Tales, and other Cartoon Network shows like Dexter's Labortory, Ed Edd 'n Eddy, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Codename Kids Next Door, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi, Juniper Lee, Camp Lazlo, the Ben 10 original continuity, Adventure Time, Regular Show and Steven Universe, and sometimes, Disney XD shows such as Gravity falls and Star vs. The forces of Evil, and anime shows such as Dragon Ball Z, Sailor Moon (original anime), the Pokemon Anime, Digimon: Digital Monsters Anime, and Yu-Gi-Oh! and Beyblade anime, even Demashita Powerpuff Girls Z, and of course the best adult oriented cartoon "King of the Hill", The Powerpuff Girls stands out as the greatest shows in cartoon history, Happy 20th anniversary, and here's to 20 more years!

Looking back on the show; I look at Classic PPG like I do with Nick's show, The Loud House. While both aren't perfect or without flaw, it feels like the good episodes they have FAAAR outweigh the bad. In PPG; for every episode like Dance Pantsed or Custody Battle, there were episodes like Members Only, Twisted Sister or others. In the Loud House's case; for every Brawl in the Family, Green House or No Such Luck. There were gems like Pulp Friction, L is for Love, For Bros who Want To Rock, Back in Black and countless others. So, while both shows aren't flawless; the good stuff far outweighs the bad

I really like this show. I personally think seasons 1-4 are my favorites. I think this is why u like this show. It's a classic phenomenal cartoon. From timeless villains like Mojo Jojo, to Fuzzy Lumpkin and even the devil HIMself. Whenever people talk about the show, i see it as CN's SpongeBob SquarePants. My personal favorite character is Blossom. She is a perfect example of a good leader. She has one of the most bad ass moments out of all the girls. Mojo was always my favorite because he was such a villain, yet so comical. I love his personal catchphrase, "Curses!!!!" Overall I think I speak for all of us whem this review is amazingly good. Thank you Shadow, for making this review. Also 6:10-6:23 has got to be the best one. She's still got Bubbles voice right which is amazing! Happy 20th anniversary, Powerpuff Girls!

If Craig allowed the original series to go on, Powerpuff Girls could have been to Cartoon Network what Spongebob is to Nickelodeon, the main stay flag ship show with endless possibilities for content and merchandise. But he chose to end the show somewhat gracefully, gotta respect that.

This show along with Courage is why I stuck around for CN as a kid. Which is why I watched KND, Cow and Chicken etc. Good video. Here is hoping to a revival tv show, miniseries, or movie.

PPG was one of my favorite shows in Cartoon Network, if not my favorite show from the said network. Being a young girl like our 3 beloved girls and just, being a child in general back then, it was a huge (and still is) part of my life and like you, it has a special place in my heart up until now as well. 🥺

29:30 makes you wonder if it was fully animated and scored before being cut up sense the Music and Voices seem to be sped up, indicating that the music was most likely timed with a slower version of the episode, it also cuts off abruptly before the "Quick time saving montage" which seems to show that it was meant to continue into an action scene

I’d forgotten all about those IDW comics. Pity they were cancelled after 11 issues. Very well done video. The main thing you do well is some brief history to the show, allude to the documentary on the boxset... and then focus on the show itself. You give enough history to go by, but not too much, allowing the focus to be on where it should - a multi-layered cartoon capable of telling varying kinds of stories, which gave it lots of flexibility. Other then perhaps me expecting a little more personal history then you perhaps have, this is a fantastic video, working both for those only vaguely familiar with the show and the die hard s mostly watching it. Well done, Shadow! This video could go far for you. Did I mention Powerpuff Girls is in my top 4 favourite animations? Well, it is. Despite not discovering it proper till 2009. So to me, it’s just a great show and movie, little of the merchandising phenomenon that surrounded it for a few years. I know I don’t comment frequently, but I do watch just about every video of yours, Shadow. Keep at it!

Nice video! Speaking of that anger management bumper/commercial, that was one of the sparks that me an idea of a "What If" fanon of the Powerpuff Girls. However instead of dealing with one helpless guy in a small room, a few selective villains get assigned to have probation officers & rehab supervisors to, of course, rehabilitate them to control the crime overpopulation. Examples: *Mojo gets zookeepers for rehab supervisors. *Fuzzy gets the Mayor's (now ex) wife as his.😆 *The Gangreen Gang's probation officer is a pretty lady that they're head over heels for. (HIM doesn't get one, but if he did it would humorously be a nun LOL!)

I still have my plush dolls and my Heroes and Villaons CD, and I rewatched the series on Hulu last year and loved (almost) every second of it. Happy birthday, girls. You truly are one in a million.

The Powerpuff Girls was always one of my favorite shows, not just on Cartoon Network (top 5 easily), but also favorite cartoon in general. I love all the characters, the writing, the animation, and it was a perfect blend of comedy and action without talking down to it's demographic. It even made me a fan of Craig McCracken too. It may have it's imperfections from time to time, especially the later seasons, but I would watch those over any single episode of that crappy PPG reboot anyway. That new show just made them look so bland and they don't show them do heroic stuff like the original. Their objective was to add female empowerment to it, but the girls keep getting tied up or get sidelined by another character in the show. The original, on the other hand, does female empowerment a lot better without even trying. Great tribute, man.
