| |
| '''''The Powerpuff Girls''''' is an American animated superhero-comedy television series created by [[Craig McCracken]]. It was produced first by [[Hanna-Barbera]] (seasons 1-4) and then [[Cartoon Network Studios]] (seasons 5-6) for [[Cartoon Network]]. It ran from [[1998]] to [[2005]], airing a total of 78 episodes that spanned six seasons. It is the first series in the ''[[The Powerpuff Girls (franchise)|Powerpuff Girls]]'' franchise, with its huge popularity spawning a [[2002]] [[The Powerpuff Girls Movie (film)|theatrical movie]], and three TV specials (two of them post-series).
| |
| | |
| [[Professor Utonium]] was determined to create the perfect little girl, who would be made up of "sugar, spice, and everything nice," but the experiment was contaminated when he accidentally knocked into a vial of [[Chemical X]]. What appeared to be a disaster inadvertently created an even better result, as he created three little girls: [[Blossom Utonium|Blossom]], [[Bubbles Utonium|Bubbles]], and [[Buttercup Utonium|Buttercup]]. Born with extraordinary "ultra superpowers," these little girls, dubbed the [[Powerpuff Girls]], have taken the job of defending the city of [[Townsville]].

At the same time, he also drew three large-eyed girls, visually inspired by the paintings of Margret Keane,<ref>Townsend, Emru (Summer 1995).

Intrigued by the girls' "cute" appearance, McCracken ditched El Fuego and made them child superheroes called "The Whoopass Girls". The short, ''Whoopass Stew! The Whoopass Girls in: A Sticky Situation'', was created in [[1992]], and was later shown at Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation in [[1994]]. McCracken also made other three shorts at that time (all of them starring the three girls) but were never finished.<ref name="PPG Documentary">''The Powerpuff Girls: Who, What, Where, How, Why... Who Cares?'' (DVD bonus feature). ''Warner Bros. Home Entertainment''. 2009.</ref>

| | |
| While working as an art director for ''[[2 Stupid Dogs]]'', McCracken showed his student short to [[Fred Seibert]], the head of Hanna-Barbera at the time. The two negotiated and the short was picked up as a series by Cartoon Network, where it became part of its ''[[What a Cartoon!]]'' animated shorts showcase. However, Cartoon Network executives believed that no one would make a kids' show with the partial word "ass" in it, so the title was changed to ''The Powerpuff Girls''. The name "Whoopass" was renamed "Powerpuff" by McCracken's suggestion, and the "can of whoopass" (the substance that made the girls) was changed to "Chemical X".<ref name="PPG Documentary" /> McCracken's new short, entitled "[[Meat Fuzzy Lumpkins|The Powerpuff Girls in: Meat Fuzzy Lumpkins]]", aired as part the network's World Premiere Toon-In on [[February 20]], [[1995]]. It was not popular as another short titled "[[Changes|Dexter's Laboratory]]"; a pilot of which McCracken and former classmate [[Genndy Tartakovsky]] worked together on. "Meat Fuzzy Lumpkins" also received a negative reaction from its test screening, with McCracken claiming that it didn't fare well with an 11 year-old male audience; "They were saying, 'This is stupid, little girls can't be heroes'", he recalled in 1999. They also found the girls' designs to be disturbing, which caused McCracken to panic and attempt to redesign them in a more realistic style.<ref>Lucas, Michael P. (February 28, 1999).

Retrieved October 8, 2022.</ref> While ''[[Dexter's Laboratory (TV series)|Dexter's Laboratory]]'' was the first one greenlit into a full series, CN executive [[Mike Lazzo]] showed interest in ''The Powerpuff Girls'', and insisted McCracken to stay true to his original vision; McCracken stated that the network were "more interested in a negative reaction than a lukewarm reaction."<ref name="PPG Documentary" /> Lazzo allowed him to produce a second short titled "[[Crime 101]]", which aired on ''What a Cartoon!'' in [[January 28]], [[1996]].
| |
| | |
| Following the second short, Cartoon Network picked up ''The Powerpuff Girls'' for a regular animated series. McCracken claimed that the show did not go through a large development process, but he was advised to change the name of the three main characters to Pink, Blue and Green, since the network executives found it hard to differentiate them by Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup. Instead, he put together a bible for the show, explaining the essential aspects of the characters.<ref>[https://www.cbc.ca/radio/q/tuesday-april-17-2018-barry-avrich-dylan-moran-and-more-1.4621704/craig-mccracken-s-oral-history-of-the-powerpuff-girls-1.4621776 Craig McCracken's Oral History of The Powerpuff Girls].

In a twist, it turns out Weevil did hide it in the backpack, but then had Ophelia hid it in the ball pit because he knew Veronica would come looking for him.
| |
| * In ''Kid Cosmic'', the Planet Protection Group is a direct reference to the Powerpuff Girls, as they share the same acronym and the same voice actresses in the series; both shows are created by Craig McCracken.
