Pictures Animation teased as much as part of its presence at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival (via <u>Variety<\/u>). It would be the second film to spawn from the original Cartoon Network classic series \u2013 if the company can manage to get it to take flight.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">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&#8217;s reported that no official deal is quite in place yet, with <u>Deadline<\/u> adding that the company is actually still in talks to get the rights, for now.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DZ6KH0nj3yJ\/embed\" height=\"710\" width=\"612\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The Powerpuff Girls have been through a lot since Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup first brought superpowered teamwork to Cartoon Network in 1998. No doubt a favorite amongst &#8217;90s and 2000s animation fans, the show saw the trio protecting the city of Townsville against villains like Mojo Jojo and Him until its final episodes aired in 2004 and 2005.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">This original run also saw the release of the first and only <u>Powerpuff Girls movie<\/u> in 2002. Despite lackluster box office performance with a global total of $16.42 million (via <u>Box Office Mojo<\/u>), fans have looked back at it fondly in the years since. IGN gave it an <u>8\/10 review<\/u>.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Cartoon Network later <u>announced<\/u> The Powerpuff Girls would get <u>an update<\/u> with <u>a reboot show<\/u> that eventually went on to premiere in 2016. However, it failed to stick around longer than three seasons, coming to an end in 2019.<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-slideshow\"><button type=\"button\" style=\"display:none\" class=\"jsx-2228525885\"\/><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">The Biggest Movies Coming in 2026<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img alt=\"2026 is here, so let's look at what Hollywood's got in store for us over the next 12 months, ranging from horror and sci-fi to superheroes and fantasy to whatever Disney and Pixar have planned. &lt;p&gt;&#10;&#10;Check out the movies we can't wait to catch in 2026!\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2896921488 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><span class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button button--primary jsx-3381835873 jsx-4266531355 row-pagination-button next contained centered round large\" data-cy=\"paginate next\" title=\"Open Slideshow\"><span class=\"ign-icon right-chevron jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"right-chevron\" style=\"mask:url(https:\/\/kraken.ignimgs.com\/_next\/static\/media\/RightChevron.272be43c.svg?cors=1) no-repeat center center \/ contain;background:currentColor\"\/><\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/output><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Things only got worse for Professor Utonium&#8217;s kids when The CW <u>announced<\/u> it was developing a <u>live-action show<\/u> in 2020.
