Powerpuff Girls DTV movie??

[Tim Drake]

I was on Cartoonnetwork.com and I saw them promoting the sale of Powerpuff Girls Meet the Beat Alls DVD and Video. Its sounds like its an epic event with 4 supervillains. Mojo, Him, Fuzz Lumkins, and Princess. I've never seen it on TV and the Video and DVD lengths are both 80 min unlike most of their DVDs which are longer then their video counterparts. Is this a new movie??

Nope, Meet the Beat-Alls aired on CN already. I'm surprised you didn't see it, there was a lot of hype surrounding it. As for the time differences, Amazon says that the DVD will be 110 min. while the VHS will be 80 min. as you say. Maybe CN has info on their own product mixed up.

GREAT episode, though...

[Tim Drake]

So its just another DVD episode compliation then??

[DerekPowers]

yep, meet the beat alls was just a regular episode.

I don't really like the Powerpuff Girls, but a friend told me about this epidsode, so I must see it. I guess they get beat up or something? They are still making an actual movie of the Powerpuff Girls still right? I think I'll go into hiding about then.

Last I heard the movie's coming out in February. There was a brouhaha over merchandising rights that almost got the original cast replaced, but CN caved and it's already been recorded, boarded, and I think it's getting final animation.

The title segment on "Meet the Beat-Alls" is a loving parody of the Beatles with four villains coming together to drive the PPG helter-skelter. Lost this year's Emmy to a lackluster Simpsons episode. Check it out.

Thanks for the replies. Just curious, with this additional DVD are all the episodes now on DVD?

[The Mad Hatter]

February? Really? I thought it was coming out next summer... I could be wrong, though.

Nope, not all episodes are out on DVD. They've had the bad habit of just packaging episodes randomly, so a LOT have been skipped.

The PPG movie comes out in late June, and CN is having a big monster 3 day 72-hour PPG marathon, on all 27 affiliates, to celebrate. So hiding is not an option.

Seriously, I don't understand anyone that can't enjoy the Powerpuff Girls. It has more action than most Toonami shows, has slick animation, terrific voice acting and, gasp, a moral.

If you don't watch PPG because it's a pride issue, trust me. You'll be more apt to get a girlfriend if you watch PPG than if you don't.
