The Powerpuff Girls - online puzzles
The Powerpuff Girls is an American superhero animated television series created by animator Craig McCracken for Cartoon Network and the fifth of the network's Cartoon Cartoons brand. The series was produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions in its first four seasons, and by Cartoon Network Studios in its final two seasons. It centers on Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup, three kindergarten-aged girls with superpowers. The girls all live in the fictional city of Townsville with their father and creator, a scientist named Professor Utonium, and are frequently called upon by the city's mayor to help fight nearby criminals and other enemies using their powers. It is the first Cartoon Network series to be broadcast in widescreen HDTV.
McCracken originally developed the show in 1992 as a cartoon short entitled Whoopass Stew! while in his second year at CalArts. Following a name change, Cartoon Network featured the first Powerpuff Girls pilots in its animation showcase program What a Cartoon! in 1995 and 1996. The series premiered on November 18, 1998 and ended on March 25, 2005. Excluding the two pilot shorts, the series ran for a total of six seasons, totaling 78 episodes.
