Powerpuff Girls Live-Action Trailer Leaks,
Says Cartoon 'Whitewashed Us'
------------------------------------------
The live-action Powerpuff Girls trailer has leaked online.
The CW announced a Powerpuff Girls live-action series in 2020.
By early 2021, the network cast Chloe Bennett as Blossom, Dove
Cameron as Bubbles, and Yana Perrault as Buttercup. The
adult-oriented show titled Powerpuff shot a pilot later that
spring. The pilot never aired, but the trailer is now
available to watch below.

What happens in the Powerpuff Girls live-action trailer?
The footage begins with Professor Utonium (Donald Faison)
creating his superhero family, the Powerpuff Girls. The girls
served as the protectors of Townsville. However, the girls
dealt with teenage problems as they aged, including anxiety,
stress, and alcoholism. As teens, the girls accidentally kill
Mojo, who is a human instead of a monkey.
After the accident, Blossom ran away, Buttercup became a
firefighter, and Bubbles pursued fame on the streets of
Hollywood. Seven years later, the girls are "disillusioned
twentysomethings" with no interest in crime fighting. With
Mojo's son, Jojo, as mayor, the girls reluctantly reunite to
face a new evil. The trailer even pokes fun at the cartoon,
with Buttercup saying it "whitewashed" the group.
Production on the pilot began in April 2021. By May 2021, the
CW scrapped the pilot but announced plans to retool the series.
In August 2021, Bennett exited the series. Powerpuff stayed in
development for the next two years before officially being
canceled in May 2023.
The Powerpuff Girls is based on Craig McCracken's animated
series for Cartoon Network. The live-action series stemmed
from writers and executive producers Heather Regnier and Diablo
Cody. Maggie Kiley directed the pilot, and Warner Bros.
Television produced the failed series.

This is recent?

Beg to differ: The animated show (first series) was classic.
(And I'm not sure I would characterize 2005 as "these days").
The reboot series was, eh, OK but nowhere near as good. The anime
series was, well, anime.

We'd need to see her running in a wet red dress to be sure.

Is Chloe white? She always struck me as some flavor of latina.

I've yet to see anything labelled "classic" that wasn't useless
rubbish. Shakespeares works are great exampes of so-called "classics"
that are immensely B-O-R-I-N-G nonsense. "Classic" is usually added by
a know-nothing, arty-farty critic completely out of touch with the real >world. :-)
