Sugar and spice and all things nice ... and a dash of Chemical X. That's what Powerpuff Girls are made of. Now these three super-powered kindergarteners protect the Cit of Townsville from a myriad of menacing, malevolent miscreants. These include the hyper-intelligent monkey megalomaniac Mojo Jojo; the undead magician Abra Cadaver, and the personage so evil they dare not speak his name, and refer to simply as Him.
Spoiler: "Him" is totally the Devil
The Powerpuff Girls is an anarchic, off-the-wall bit of fun, packed with pop culture references, puns, slapstick and every other kind of silliness you might care to name. I think it's pretty great, overall. Almost every 22-minute episode consists of two separate shorts, so it's rare for any particular story to outstay its welcome, and the short "Boogie Frights" might well be my favourite ten minutes of animated lunacy, pretty much ever.
If you can get past the (simple, but not crude) animation and embrace the absurdity of it all, The Powerpuff Girls is a fun ride.
