Amazon.com: The prologue to every Powerpuff Girls show explains how the perky threesome were created in Professor Utonium's lab--by a combination of sugar, spice, and everything nice, along with an accidental dash of Chemical X--but how is it that they started fighting crime? Why didn't they just take their superpowers to the playground and use them for fun? And what's behind evil monkey MoJo JoJo's never-ending quest for Powerpuff vengeance? All questions are answered in The Powerpuff Girls Movie, which details the creation of Blossom (the commander and leader), Bubbles (the joy and laughter), and Buttercup (the toughest fighter) in more depth than ever before, and the result is a speedy, fun joy ride through the girls' early days. At first, the girls are happy-go-lucky, fitting in nicely at Pokey Oaks kindergarten, until a game of tag gets riotously out of hand (destroying the city of Townsville in the process) and they're shunned by the town populace. Alone, they find their only ally in MoJo, a monkey with a peculiarly large brain and a sympathetic nature, but is MoJo really on their side? The 87-minute length doesn't offer the breakneck momentum that regular episodes do, but it's still riotously funny and filled with tons of Powerpuff fighting. Fans may miss the other super villains featured in the show (MoJo's the only bad guy in town, for now), but with the jokes and action coming fast, you'll be pleasantly enraptured by the perky threesome.

A great movie ruined This movie is really great, but they felt the need to butcher it on the dvd for some reason. I encourage any one who reads this to write a complaint to the WB and ask for a widescreen version of the Powerpuff Girls Movie. If enough people are vocal about it, then they just might actually do it.
Animation for the Whole Family This DVD was my first exposure to The Powerpuff Girls and I was pleasantly surprised to find that, with the exception of the music (which is adequate but uninspired), it compares favorably with Warner Brothers' classic cartoons. Unlike much contemporary fare, it's also suitable for the whole family. Don't miss the interviews with the "cast"--they're hilarious!
Instant Classic. How could you not fall in love with these three girls at first sight.
Powerpuff Girls Save The Day!!!!! ...for the FIRST time, in the history of ever. The Powerpuff Girls Movie ROCKS!!!!!! It tells of the way The Powerpuff Girls were born and gradually became Townsville's SUPERHEROES!!!! Girl Power all the way!!!! I felt bad for MoJo JoJo though.
Big Screen Girl Power I think Cartoon Network's very first (and perhaps only?) theatrical release is one of the neatest animated films I've seen in my time.
The story is basically the origin story of the Powerpuffs - when they were first created and how they saved the day with their unusual powers. This movie has the original characters from our young heroes to the Professor to the evil Mojo Jojo. One thing that makes this movie super-exciting is the really fast fly-throughs and fight scenes within Townsville. Either way, it's one of the greatest action movies in the animation industry.
Now the DVD has the full-length movie and a whole lot more. They include deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes features, character interviews and commentaries, and, of course, the "Dexter's Laboratory" cartoon short originally released before the film.
Even though I hardly see the TV show, the movie tracing back to the very beginning is really nice. If you're pining for the show yourself, you should get this movie DVD or perhaps any other DVD with their episodes even.
