Cartoon Network has revealed the first glimpse of its reimagined
Powerpuff Girls series with some new artwork that's full of sugar, spice
and everything nice... and Chemical X.
The revamped series will focus on the original trio of crime-fighting
school girls as they save the world from a slew of villains before
bedtime, though it's unclear whether the girls will be battling familiar
baddies like Mojo Jojo and HIM, or all-new foes. Amanda Leighton,
Kristen Li and Natalie Palamides will voice Blossom, Bubbles and
Buttercup, respectively, while Tom Kenny will return to reprise his role
as Narrator/Mayor.
Emmy-winner Nick Jennings (Adventure Time) is executive producing alongside Bob Boyle (Wow! Wow! Wubzy!) as co-exec producer.
"It has been wonderful to see this new show team bring such passion and positive creative spirit to this iconic property," said Chief Content Officer Rob Sorcher. "We know that fans of every age will appreciate this new take on saving the world before bedtime."
Craig McCracken created the original Powerpuff Girls series in 1996 that went on to win two Emmy Awards during its 78-episode run. The series also spawned a video game, as well as a film in 2002 which IGN called "a parents' and an exhibitors' dream" that "delivers its goods and gets out, leaving the audience wanting more."
The new series is slated for a 2016 release.
