#BUTTERCUP POWERPUFF PERSONALITY SERIES#
Blossom goes back later to help her sisters, with the monster laughing at her so hard that all his eyes close, allowing the girls to launch him into space.īubbles (voiced by Tara Strong in the series and by Kath Soucie in the What-a-Cartoon! episodes) is "the cute one". In one episode, the girls accidentally butcher Blossom's hair, and Blossom, being laughed at by the entire town, leaves the girls to fight a monster with many eyes. Blossom is the only one of her sisters that doesn't have short hair, her hair is much longer than her sisters, and it is also what makes her vain. However, even though Blossom said her ice breath was "all used up", she has been seen using it frequently in the later episodes. In the episode "Ice Sore", she showed the ability to blow icicle (and in the end of the episode, blow fire). She tends to "parent" Bubbles and Buttercup, and often tries to play peacemaker between the two if they fight (though she is very quick to argue with Buttercup). She is often seen as the most mature, level-headed and composed member of the group, though she can be fussy, overbearing, vain and overly analytical at times. She was named for having spoken freely and honest to the Professor shortly after her creation. Her personality is "everything nice," her signature color is pink, and she has long red hair with a huge red bow and hair clip in the back. The Powerpuff Girls lack noses, ears, fingers, and flat feet with toes, which most other characters on the show have.īlossom (voiced by Cathy Cavadini) is "the smart one" and self-proclaimed leader of the Powerpuff Girls. and everything nice," and an accidentally-added Chemical X, which gave the girls superpowers and personalities corresponding to one of the above elements. Within the storyline, they were created using "sugar. The Powerpuff Girls are a fictional trio of three super-powered five-year-old girls. This is a list of characters who appeared on Cartoon Network's (but more recently Boomerang (TV channel)'s) show, The Powerpuff Girls. The original theme riffed on the “What Are Little Boys Made Of” nursery rhyme by saying the titular Girls were made of “sugar, spice, and everything nice” along with the dreaded “Chemical X.” The new theme, by Seattle band Tacocat, starts there, but then cranks it up, depicting Buttercup, Blossom, and Bubbles as “three little girls saving the world before bedtime.” It's a fitting anthem for a dynamic trio that just got a little more dynamic.Read more about Blossom (Powerpuff Girls) at: Wikipedia Proof of that more enlightened approach to Powerpuff Girls is evident not just from the plots, but from the opening credits. “If you’re working with just white males, it’s easy to fall into putting that type of character into the cartoon, but that’s not reflective of the world or our audience these days." "Animation in the past has generally been a white-male dominated field, but times are changing," says Jennings.
Jennings and Boyle estimate that women make up between 50 and 65 percent of the crew on the new series, which more easily leads to stories that reflect the culture. But in ratcheting up the feminism of the show, it also helps that there are a fair number of women behind the scenes. Obviously Powerpuff Girls has its female characters right there in the title, unlike most prestige animation series. "We explore those issues in a context that kids can get as well as adults." "For Man-Boy, there’s a lot of social commentary in a villain who says he wants Townsville to be Mansville, lined up against these super little girls," says Boyle. If anything, the new series will go further, providing commentary both nostalgic Millennials and younger viewers can grok. Upending the patriarchy was always a part of Powerpuff storylines, as trio demolished villain after cackling villain en route to saving the bumbling Mayor of Townsville (voiced by Tom Kenny). The girls were always defined in broad strokes-Blossom the leader, Bubbles the sensitive one, and Buttercup the tough one-but in their new incarnation they’re much more nuanced and deal with actual issues young girls face.
“Escape from Monster Island,” the second episode, features a conflict within the trio, as Buttercup (Natalie Palamides) and Blossom (Amanda Leighton) vie to accompany Bubbles (Kristen Li) to a concert for the girls’ favorite band, Sensitive Thugz.
