Who will ever be able to resist the latest animated creation ever to be featured on the Cartoon Network! NOT ME! Any cartoon buff will instantly fall into love with the precicous wide-eyed toddlers under such adorable ribbon bows, perky pigtails, and neatly-trimmed bangs! Our girls are so blessed with magical powers to protect the pretty little make-believe city of Townsville from a whole rogue gallery of dastardly villains and fantastical monsters. And it takes a very talented animator or two to take geometrical shapes and make lively cartoon characters out of them as well as that cute little fairyland they call home to boot! Oh, and throw in a very generous pinch of clever satire and simply stunning visual gags (especially the part about Rainbow The Klown) as well as a huge scoop of cheeky humor and glittery-starry fantasy thrown in! Don't forget the startlingly stark animation graphics to enhance the flavor! And it turned out to be so good you just gotta serve it to just EVERYONE REGARDLESS OF ANY AGE, not just impressionable little girls. SO YOU RULE, POWERPUFF GIRLS!

Powerpuff girls are not just for kids. The powerpuffs are morefor teenage guys, it is the funniest show on the face of the earth butit is marketed for little girls, and it is hillarious. The show is awesome, hands down.

The Powerpuff Girls' VHS "Monkey See, Doggie Do" is spectacular!! This video contains some of the classsic Powerpuff episodes.

Monkey See, Doggie Do
This is my personal favorite! Mojo steals the head of Anubis (the Egyptian god that has a dog's head) and the Anubial jewels. When he puts them together he can change humans into dogs and control them to fulfill his evil plans! The Girls have to save the day again!

Mommie Fearest
In this episode Professor Utonium falls for a beautiful woman he meets in the supermarket. She is nice and perfect to the girls as well until the Professor leaves and she becomes a horror! The girls discover what is really going on and have to deal with the maddness!

Telephonies
This episode has the Gangreen Gang playing pranks on townsville. Can the Powerpuff Girls stop the Gang before they go too far and drive everyone crazy?!?

Rainbow The Clown
Rainbow the colorful clown turns bad and is transforned into Mister Mime. Now he is going around Townsville changing everything into black and white and silent, including Blossom and Buttercup! Can Bubbles change this new dark world into a bringt colorful and happy place again?

The Bare Facts
Most of the action takes place in the dark while the Mayor is blindfolded and the Girls try to explain to him that he was kidnapped and they saved him. The mayor can't figure out what's so funny! This is a funny and surprising episode!

This is, in my opinio, the best of the Powerpuff Girls' Collection of videos! It is really great and hilarious!!!
A must have for any Powerpuff fan and anyone wanting to see the Girls at their best!
You won't regret it!

This Powerpuff-packed collection contains five stories: Monkey See Doggy Doo, Mommie Fearest, Telephonies, Mime For A Change, and The Bare Facts.

In the title cartoon: villainous chimp Mojo Jojo steals the Anubial jewels and a doghead statue which turns into a weapon that transforms people into dogs. Not only does it even works on the Powerpuffs, but we also see Miss Bellham's face for once. There are references, verbal or otherwise, to the movies Dog Day Afternoon and The Doberman Gang. (Rating 5)

The lonely but woman-shy Professor Utonium falls in love with Ima Goodlady in "Mommie Fearest." The narrator describes the Prof as a smooth operator. His first words on meeting Ima? "I... I... I..." Ima, who decides to live with the Professor to help around, seems like a sweet-loving woman to him, but becomes a total ogre to the Powerpuffs, especially concerning their superpowers. This episode features the Powerpuff's trademark line: "We fight crime. That's what we do. Duh!" One sweet scene involves the Professor closing the door to the girls' room. A soft whimper is heard, and then the Professor opens the door, after which a wide-eyed Bubbles sleeps, happily secure. Awww! (Rating 4)

"Telephonies" has the Gangreen Gang making prank calls from the Mayor's office, crying wolf to the Powerpuff Girls. We learn that Grubber has a talent in imitating voices. However, they don't realize the folly of setting up key villains, and this proves to be their undoing. We also learn here that Mojo Jojo, although the most popular and reoccurring villain, is deferential to Him. (Rating 5)

Rainbow the Clown turns into an evil mime bent on transforming Townsville to black-and-white in "Mime For A Change." There are allusions to silent movies and Yellow Submarine. Bubbles' love of drawing pictures is emphasized here to the point that Buttercup thinks she's lost it. Well, not only does Bubbles save the day, but she's tops in sheer lovability. This features her line: "Don't just stand there! Start colouring!" (Rating 5)

The best and most imaginative cartoon is "The Bare Facts," where after being rescued from Mojo Jojo by the cute trio, the mayor wants to know why the girls giggle at him. The classic Rashomon method of different people telling their version of the story, in this case the mayor's rescue, is used, with different animation styles for each of the girls, based on their personality. Bubbles' style and narration is the funniest. She says that she tells stories "the bestest," and that "I remember everything like it happened yesterday." Blossom: "It happened today!" (Rating 5)

So once again, this collection of cartoons is saved by the Powerpuff Girls, especially Bubbles, who may be the baby of the bunch and the most adorable, but also the most appealing. Overall rating--average of (5+4+5+5+5) = 4.8, rounded to 5.

With the rise in their popularity among young and old, the "Powerpuff Girls," have left a mark on modern-day animation since the show debuted in the fall of 1998. Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles have become the hippest crime-fighting trio since "Charlie's Angels," and the Cartoon Network's executives must have noticed this when they released the first two videocassette compilations of their adventures.

The most noticeable episodes on this tape have to be "Mr. Mojo's Rising" and and "Mime Without Change," which follows the evil-alter ego of every Townsville child's favorite birthday mime, Rainbow the Klown. The great thing is that in the same manner the heroes are amusing, many viewers will be amused by the wide assortment of enemies Townsville has such as the devilish "Him" amd the spoiled-rich kid "Princess".

My only disappointment was that these compilations are not available on DVD, which is a shame because that format offers excellent sound and crisp picture quality that VHS can't. I hope that Warner Home Video releases these and future compilations of their most popular Cartoon Network programs (especially "Dexter's Laboratory," and "Cow & Chicken").

If you are in search for an animated series that will incorporate the hipness of the nineties, yet have a new-century look, then the "Powerpuff Girls" are you best choice for quality entertainment.

my God !they are so so adorable, cute and funny.. i loved their series very much after i watched it.. 'cuz at first i thought it was for kids when i saw Bubbles and her baby acts, Blossom and her bossy personality.. but Buttercup.. wow she was some thin'.. any way the film was fantastic.

Part of the Cartoon Network's increasingly-strong generation-spanning uber-hyphenated line-up, the 'Powerpuff Girls' blends ultra-ultra cute manga-esque imagery with an increasingly surreal sense of humour and some extraordinarily intense action sequences. All the episodes are much of a muchness, although the ones with the 'Meat Gun' and 'Mojo Jojo' are stand-outs. Amongst others, this tape has 'Bare Facts', which is surprisingly like Akira Kurosawa's 'Rashomon', in a way. Best of all, the ending theme is by spiky Pizzicato Five-esque Brit-pop punkers Bis.
