Sugar, Spice, and Everything Nice

These were the ingredients chosen
To create the perfect little girls
But Professor Utonium accidentally
Added an extra ingredients to the concoction--
Chemical X
Thus, The Powerpuff Girls were born
Using their ultra-super powers
Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup
Have dedicated their lives to fighting crime
And the forces of evil.

This was one of my favourite Saturday morning cartoons. When you think about it, three kindergarten girls who have super powers seems like the most unlikely situation to ever happen. Then again, anything is possible with cartoons. The Powerpuff Girls revolve around the adventures of Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup. Professor Utonium had wanted to make “the perfect little girl” by using “super, spice, and everything nice.” However, the accidental addition of Chemical X into the mixture created these three girls instead, each having superpowers such as flight, super strength, super speed, limited invulnerability, x-ray vision, super senses, heat vision, and energy projection. The Powerpuff girls use their powers to defend the city of Townsville from villains and giant monsters. In my opinion, these three characters are extremely cute for their oval- shaped heads, abnormally large eyes, short arms and legs, and no noses, ears, fingers, and flat feet with toes. They’re mostly seen with black stripes that match the colours of their eyes, white pantyhose, and black Mary Janes.

Each Powerpuff Girl contributes a different quality to the group. Blossom is the commander and the leader, and is known as “the smart one.” Her signature colour is pink, and she has long red hair with a red bow. She is often seen as the most mature, but can be fussy and too vain at times. She is known as the leader because she tends to be the parent for both Bubbles and Buttercup, and tries to maintain peace within the group. Bubbles, is the joy and the laughter. She is known as “the cute one.” Her signature colour is light blue, and she has short blonde hair in two pigtails. She is often seen as the baby of the group for having a stuffed octopus doll for a best friend, loving and cuddling all animals, and finds insects to be gross. She loves to colour, draw, and sing. This cutie is awfully shy but displays affection greatly. Buttercup is the toughest fighter. Her signature colour is green, and she has short black hair. She is known as “the tomboy” and has a very short temper. She is seen as mean and stubborn. But don’t be fooled by her personality, because she is protective when it comes to her sisters. She hates baths and loves getting dirty.

These three girls are all the city of Townsville has. The mayor often calls the girls on their classic big red phone when villains like the popular monkey Mojo Jojo are threatening the well-being of Townsville. Most days, they save the day and get home just in time to say goodnight to Professor Utonium. It isn’t always easy working together because arguments arise, but Blossom always tries to do the right thing. Aside from saving their town, the girls do go to Pokey Oaks school, and act just like a regular group of kindergarten friends. They all have struggles like any normal kindergarten child. These range from bed wetting or comfort toys at night. But all in a day’s work, each day has a new moral lesson in the way the girls overcome the challenges of a day of crime fighting. The Powerpuff girls will always be saving the world, before bedtime.
