Critics Consensus

It plays like an extended episode, but The Powerpuff Girls Movie is still lots of fun.

Chicago Reader

This Cartoon Network feature-length animation manages to teach kids some good lessons and amuse the grown-ups without overdosing on pop-culture references.

Empire Magazine

Utilising the cheapest-looking animation ever to grace a cinema screen, this Cartoon Network spin-off will only appeal to a fraction of pre-teen girls.

Rated: 2/5

AniMat's Review (YouTube)

I know this is meant to show the first time they fight crime, but their movie is not among their greatest moments. Then again, I cannot say that I didn’t have a bit of fun watching this either.

Rated: 6/10

The Tyee (British Columbia)

The Powerpuff Girls takes place in a similar vein, although its message is a little more rockum sockum, it still it has style and wit to spare, and a message of empowerment for bad little monkeys everywhere.

This would have been much better had it been reduced to a one hour episode on television rather than a stretched feature film.

[Insert cheap, forced Dick-girl pun here] This Movie sucks in my opinion. Most of the characters are so annoying. Everything in this, had the god-awful of plots, bad animation, was overly loud, overly violent, and basically one of the worst movies I've ever watched. What a shitshow... I knew I was in for an awful experience going in; turns out it was even worse than I expected. Don't watch this boring and horrible movie.

Everything in this movie looks really cheap and unethical. Blossom and buttercup fighting was literally the worst part of this movie.

A fun, exciting if slightly offbeat origin story for the Powerpuff Girls. The movie should please fans of the show as well as first time viewers.
