The live-action POWERPUFF GIRLS is dead. Long live the McCracken POWERPUFF GIRLS.

Assuming that this doesn’t crash and burn, too.

Stop the presses! The Powerpuff Girls are coming back! No, we’re not talking about The CW’s live-action modern take that crashed and burned (though apparently the concept is still in development). We’re talking about animated series creator Craig McCraken (Wander Over Yonder, Kid Cosmic) developing a reboot of the series (as well as one for Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends) for Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe. Viewers will get to revisit the world of Blossom, Bubbles & Buttercup as they face off against a variety of villains comprised of familiar foes and new threats.

I used the word “too” because Bleeding Cool was being accurate about what happened to the live-action. The pilot episode did not go over well with the studio, and the actress who played Blossom in the pilot has moved onto other things. I don’t know if POWERPUFF is formally in Development Hell right now, but it’s almost certainly getting puzzled looks by the Virtuous Pagans in Limbo.

PS: I had a buddy who could do a pitch-perfect Mojo Jojo impression indefinitely. I should check in with him, see how he’s doing. I mean, I see him on Facebook and he’s fine, but still…

  1. I don’t want to see the life action movie.

    But I would be horribly tempted by a Riff track or MST3K of it.

  2. All but one of the villains would be considered “problematic” nowadays.
    A bossy little girl?
    A collection of three exaggerated latin gang archetypes?
    A DEMONIC DRAG QUEEN?

    I can almost hear the REEEEEEEE from here.

    1. I managed to avoid that but I remember hearing about it.

      I wonder how does that compare to Hulk vs Thor?
