Powerpuff Girls Movie in the Works at Warner Bros. Animation

Powerpuff Girls Movie in the Works at Warner Bros. Animation


Warner Bros. has dipped into its stash of Chemical X in hopes of reuniting Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup for a new animated Powerpuff Girls movie.

Warner Bros. Pictures Animation teased as much as part of its presence at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival (via Variety). It would be the second film to spawn from the original Cartoon Network classic series – if the company can manage to get it to take flight.

While Warner Bros. Pictures Animation is stirring up a Powerpuff Girls movie, the project is early days. No plot, release date, or casting information was part of the initial tease. In fact, it’s reported that no official deal is quite in place yet, with Deadline adding that the company is actually still in talks to get the rights, for now.

Things only got worse for Professor Utonium’s kids when The CW announced it was developing a live-action show in 2020. First details for the project promised older versions of the characters played by Chloe Bennet (Blossom), Dove Cameron (Bubbles), and Yana Perrault (Buttercup) before it was revealed that the network would be reshooting its pilot episode in May 2021. When Bennet exited the show just months later, few were surprised to see the live-action take canceled altogether in 2023.

Now, Warner Bros. seems to be returning to the series’ animated roots for what will, should everything go according to plan, become a new movie. For more, you can read about the trailer for the live-action project that leaked just last year.
