The Powerpuff Girls - Bubblevicious [VHS]

This DVD arrived quickly, and plays perfectly. My girls have watched it SO MANY TIMES. I plan to order more very soon.

This is the last of three in a series of detailed reviews from the videos comprising the Powerpuff 3-Pack. Video: Bubblevicious.In the title story, Bubbles, frustrated of being seen as the baby of the crime-fighting trio, takes it upon herself to be just as hardcore as her sisters. The scene where she gets a real workout in the simulation room ends with her in an adrenalized frenzy, crying: "Who else wants some?" It's a good action-packed scene. However, she newfound determination also carries with it some pent-up rage, which alienates her sisters. Buttercup's fight against a slug-like monster also demonstrates why she is the toughest fighter. (Rating: 5)."Uh Oh...Dynamo" shows that not even weekends are sacred. The Girls have to deal with a giant, multiocular fish monster who seems to have been a reject from a Godzilla movie. The Dynamo referred to in this story is a titanic robotic Powerpuff Girl that the Professor builds to protect the girls. After watching this story I put Townsville down on my list of cities most frequently destroyed, probably even beating the number of times Godzilla has destroyed Tokyo. (Rating: 4)."Mr. Mojo's Rising" is a condensed version of how and why Mojo Jojo left Professor Utonium. It does not contradict the opening sequence of the PPG movie. Basically, Mojo feels that the professor's attention to the girls was what forced him out and he wants to be included. The Professor thinks maybe this will stop him from being an evil genius bent on destroying mankind. And no, Jim Morrison does not make a guest appearance despite the title. (Rating: 4).In "Cat Man Do", a scientist who has created a ray gun and is about to unleash its power on Townsville is stopped by the Powerpuffs. As the laboratory turns into an inferno, a plaintive meow is heard. Bubbles, ever the animal-lover, rescues a long-haired white Persian and brings it home. This story turns the concept of Blofeld, the head of SPECTRE in the James Bond movies, and his pet, on its head. (Rating: 5).As for "Powerpuff Bluff", oh dear! A trio of burglars foiled time and again by the Girls get the bright idea of continuing their crime wave by impersonating the girls. Oooookay. I know this is for kids, but it does show that sometimes, the people of Townsville aren't exactly the smartest olives in the salad. (Rating: 2).Overall rating: (5+4+4+5+2)/5=4.

I have to say that I purchased this DVD by chance ... because my 3-year old is infatuated with the PPG's! Great buy for what I paid for it. I can't begin to tell you the countless times she's watched it ...There is plenty of action and the Cat-Man-Do episode is adorable. You will read other reviews from people who don't take into account what audience this series generally speaks to. I am an adult and I enjoy watching it, but I don't expect it to challenge my intellect or mesmerize me with super plot-twists. It's supposed to be colorful, endearing, funny and generally just a cartoon.If you're looking for a DVD with more "guts", stick to those written for your age audience. If you're a PPG fan and looking for a good fix, PowerPuff Bluff is great, as long as you don't expect a ton of extras...it doesn't have them.

great

They sent it to me in Spanish instead of English ... but other than that the video worked fine. Too bad I didn't realize it was in the wrong language until after I opened it (most of the text on the front/back of the packaging was in English, so that's why I didn't notice right away). Oh, well. :(

everything great

I have to admit that I have always had a soft spot for the Powerpuff Girls. I find the frequently tongue-in-cheek humour to be very witty and like most good cartoons are, this one is thoroughly entertaining for both kids and adults alike. My favourite Cartoon Network character is actually Dexter's Lab but until they release that on DVD I guess this will have to do as second best. This DVD has been very well thought out and designed and contains good bonus features as well as 10 great episodes. Highly recommended for a good laugh!

The Cartoon Network has always been a pioneer for modern cartoons that reflect that hipness of today's youth. With such trendsetting cartoon series such as "Dexter's Laboratory," and "Cow and Chicken," the network has seen a large following of new fans, both young and old in recent years.With the debut of the Powerpuff Girls, the network has solidify their status as the home to the hippest cartoons on the planet. Created by Genndy Tartakovsky, Craig McCracken (the creators of 'Dexter's Laboratory") the series involves the superhero fighting adventures of three adorable girls who attend Pokey Oats Kindegarten in the City of Townsville. The girls, who were created by accident in a laboratory explosion by Professor Utonium, have powers the average little girl doesn't have. Blossom (the mature red-head), Buttercup (the tough Brunette), and Bubble (the childish Blonde) are the hippest crime-fighting trio the cartoon world has ever seen. Battling such nemesis such as Mojo Jojo, Him, Fuzzy Lumpkins, Princess, and the Gangrene Gang, the girls come to the rescue whenever Townsville is in danger. The great thing about the series is that it incorporates many pop-culture items from past superheroes such as the campy Batman series of the 1960's (instead of the Batphone, the girls have a Fisher Price telephone with a happy face that lights up whenever the Mayor of Townsville need help). Another twist probably in homage to Charlie's Angels is that you never get to see the face of the Mayor's Secretary, Miss Bellum, in the same way you never get to see Charlie's face.Although one might think this is a cartoon meant for children, don't be fooled. Truly if you are looking for something to watch, then the Powerpuff Girls will fit the bill. Along with the "Simpsons," "Animaniacs," "Pinky & the Brain," "Dexter's Laboratory" and "Cow and Chicken," the "Powerpuff Girls" rank as one of the hippest cartoons.
