Power Puff Girls to Big Screen

Variety is reporting that Betty Cohen, President of Cartoon Network Worldwide and Lorenzo di Bonaventura, President in charge of Worldwide Production for Warner Bros have announced that there is a Power Puff Girls movie in the works for a Summer 2002 release. “From the first time we saw the original Powerpuff Girls short back in 1995, we knew we had special characters who would strike a chord with kids and teens today,” Cohen said. “The combination of great animation, timely girl power and the show’s nod to the hot design style of Japanese animation has enabled The Powerpuff Girls to hit on all cylinders, from television to merchandising and now to movies.”
