The Powerpuff Girls - The Movie [VHS]

Review of the product: With the new show out (which I don't watch), I felt the need to revisit this movie. As a kid, I watched this movie quite a few times, so this was a nice little nostalgic experience for me. Based on what I heard, this movie did horribly in the theaters back at its release. Personally, that makes me feel a bit sad. Possibly due to its lack of popularity there are very few releases of this movie on DVD and none on Blu Ray as of (June 2016). I struggled to find this in stores. I couldn't find a copy of this even in stores dedicated to selling used DVDs. As a result, I ended up ordering this from Amazon. To my knowledge, this movie is out of print. So if you want a brand new copy of this movie, good luck. Honestly, buying a used copy will be your best option, since they are much cheaper. But be sure that the DVD is in good condition before making a purchase. My copy has a super warn out case, covered in scuff marks and paint ware. But somehow, the disk is in near perfect condition, I'm grateful for that. These come in a cardboard folding case with the title of each scene displayed on the inside. Note that this movie is NOT available in widescreen. This may bother some of you, but personally, I'm able to get passed this. Its punishment enough that they don't produce this movie at all anymore. I think that's a slightly bigger issue than not having it in widescreen. Review for the movie below.Review for the movie: This is a super short movie. Its roughly 1 hour and 15 minutes long. Which is barely long enough to qualify as a "feature length film" The movie is super simple (some may consider it a cliché of a story). This starts off by presenting the Powerpuff Girls origins story with a cinematic treatment. This is something most of us have already seen dozens of times from the TV show intro. From then on, the girls are learning about the new world, since they were born yesterday. Throughout, they learn life lessons, how to control their powers, and try to fit in with the world as by gaining their later known reputation as super heroines. The movie has a darker tone and is filled with some humorous pop culture references here and there. But honestly, I feel like the majority of this film felt rather gloomy. Most of the movie is spent with the girls down of their luck, and being mistreated and taken advantage of by other characters. This is a nit pick. But I would have preferred a Powerpuff Girls movie with more feel good moments, and a more light hearted relationship with other charcters.

I wanna give this 5 stars. I want to, I really do. The movie certainly deserves it, but as many others have pointed out this is flawed perfection. The quality is fine, the sound is great, there are more than a few decent extras but there's just one teeny tiny little annoying thing about this release... IT'S NOT IN WIDESCREEN!!...<B>This origin story is a nonstop ride of great animation, a couple of thrills and chills, a few laughs and some awesome action. Not to mention some of the coolest dialogue. It elegantly introduces the three superheroes in a way that makes it easy to hop on board the powerpuff express for all the newbees while the older fanbase have lots of in-references and origin secrets to keep them smiling. Great stuff except it's NOT IN WIDESCREEN!! Sorry, but with a design like this it really loses some of the quality when you crop the sides of the image. Not to mention the framing gets all off balance. Hey, WB, here's a tip for you: Powerpuff girls target audience is NOT 5 year old girls who can't digest their saturday morning cartoons if they don't fill the hole tv screen. Contrary to what you may think their biggest audiences are MALES age 10-30 and we DON'T appreciate you slicing and dicing our favorite animated characters. PLEASE give us a speciel widescreen edition. Not this cropped and trimmed PAN & SCAN [crud]. Sheesh...

A great movie, featuring cute heroes and intense action. The writing is as good or better than in the TV series, though it does take itself more seriously than the series normally does. The art is in the same style as in the TV series, but with better production values. It is a little violent for young children, but then the same can be said for the TV series.Unfortunately, there is one big flaw with the DVD: the movie was originally widescreen, but the Region 1 DVD is only available in fullscreen. (From what I've heard, the European version is widescreen, but has less special features than the US version.)

i have always been a huge fan of the power puff girls back in the good old days, and i was thrilled to see this movie available at a bargain price! i brought it in the hope of re living some of my childhood and also proving to my younger sisters that TV was so much better when i was younger.... this film achieved both objectives.must have for every power puff girl lover!brilliant price and super delivery.

Secondhand but excellent condition. DVD looks perfect. Box is very good. A classic Powerpuff Adventure. I love these grills.💚❤️💙

Nothing bad! My 3 year old watched this at a friends house and is now obsessed. Seeing as he can't write, I will tell you that he loves the whole super hero thing, so this has gone down a treat.

If you liked PPG, you must see the movie. All around very well done. If you want to see the movie in it's theatrical aspect ratio (widescreen) you must buy from the UK. Crappy US version is only in 4:3 and they did not include the movie with the PPG collection set (WTH?). Anyway, a good movie and a must for PPG fans. Does stand alone even without seeing the series.

Purchased as part of a birthday present for a close friend who I've know since we were little. She was delighted that I'd found a DVD from our childhood.
