Reviews for The Powerpuff Girls Movie
Top CriticHow can anyone resist a cartoon in which the arch enemy of three crime-fighting schoolkids is a monkey called Mojo Jojo?
10/23/02
Almost as much fun for grown-ups as it undoubtedly will be for kids.

Top CriticStretched beyond its usual episode length, the Girls' adventure doesn't pack the nifty punch they're famous for.
02/09/06
Top CriticUtilising the cheapest-looking animation ever to grace a cinema screen, this Cartoon Network spin-off will only appeal to a fraction of pre-teen girls.

Top CriticThis is one of those features that, unless you are hooked on the cartoon channel, or have children hooked on the cartoon channel, might just pass you by.

Top CriticSure, there's plenty of wacky energy, but if you look even a little closely there's nothing else at all.

Top CriticBug-eyed girls who kick ass? Now, that's a film franchise we can get into.
07/03/02
Top CriticAn entertaining romp that stays true to the material's television roots, this film is a good starting point for viewers unfamiliar with the series.
07/03/02
A confluence of kiddie entertainment, sophisticated wit and symbolic graphic design.
07/16/02
It's still a kick seeing the show's retro-cool, Hanna-Barbera-style animation blown up to 35 mm, even if The Powerpuff Girls Movie only plays like a long, slightly average episode.
07/03/02
From the action to the characters to the humor, it's one of the brightest entries in this summer's family-movie showdown.
07/03/02
Filled with clever writing, pop-culture references galore and ultrastylized art direction.
07/03/02
This movie is one of the few American creations that is both gleeful pop culture and exquisite high art.
07/02/02
They’re the Powerpuff Girls! And they’re here to save the summer from lousy family entertainment.
07/05/02
...a good, moral film for kids and a fun piece of colorful entertainment for everyone else.
07/05/02
Even with its flaws, The Powerpuff Girls Movie offers cleverness and charm that are hard to come by in the summertime multiplex.
07/11/02
It certainly won't win any awards in the plot department but it sets out with no pretensions and delivers big time.
07/09/02
Mojo JoJo says, "Origin movies bore me. Films that speak to the beginnings of superheroism cause sleep. Powerpuffs are more interesting when they are fighting bad guys, not being created, so this film made my lids heavy."
