The Powerpuff Girls Movie

The Powerpuff Girls Movie is a 2002 American animated superhero comedy film based on the television series. It was directed by series creator Craig McCracken, and co-written by McCracken, Charlie Bean, Lauren Faust, Paul Rudish, and Don Shank, and features the regular television cast of Cathy Cavadini, Tara Strong, E. G. Daily, Roger L. Jackson, Tom Kane, Tom Kenny, Jennifer Hale, and Jennifer Martin. Serving as an origin story of the titular characters, the film follows the newly created girls as they become ostracized for inadvertently destroying Townsville and assisting in Mojo Jojo's plot for world domination. Series composer James L. Venable wrote the film's music score.

Produced by Cartoon Network Studios as its first theatrical film, The Powerpuff Girls Movie was released in theaters on July 3, 2002, by Warner Bros. Pictures. Although the film received generally positive reviews from critics, it was a box-office disappointment, earning $16 million on a budget of $11 million, which was partly blamed on a crowded marketplace.
