The Powerpuff Girls Movie (PG-13 version)

The Powerpuff Girls Movie is a 2002 animated sci-fi drama superhero dark feature-length film based on the Cartoon Network animated television series The Powerpuff Girls. Produced by Cartoon Network for Warner Bros, it was released in the United States on July 3, 2002. The movie was rated PG-13 for sci-fi violence, blood, intense images, swearing, and references to alcohol.
