Double blow for the Powerpuff Girls. The writing of variety announces the grand return of the original creator of the three heroines of Townsville for a new animated series developed by the studios Hanna Barbera Europe. After a few years haunting the corridors of netflix for various dead-in-the-bud cartoon projects, Craig McCracken finally decided to throw in the towel, faced with the gradual collapse of the animation department of this SVOD giant.
Also, homecoming for one of the great names of the golden age of Cartoon Network. The father of Beautiful, Bubble and Rebelfollower of Genndy Tartakovsky and frequent animated series director Dexter’s Laboratoryreturn home Hanna Barbera Studios for a reboot of the Powerpuff Girls based on sugar, and also spices.
But above all, heaps of good things
The writing of variety does not give more details on this new project (new villains would be expected for this extension of duration), and is satisfied with a quote from the president of Cartoon Network, Sam Registerhappy to see McCracken to come back home. Already in office at the time of the first seasons of the Powerpuff Girls, Register belongs to this respectable white-collar category – praised by its employees, the various creatives in the industry and its few counterparts in the moving image market. Former artistic director, director and recognized creative, the man is even one of the co-creators of the cartoon Tealooney tunes showproducer on Ben10 and on the adaptation of Teen Titans of Glen Murakamiwho paid homage to him by giving his name to one of the characters in the series (the Professor Register). Currently, he serves as the main crowned head in the organization chart of Warner Bros. on the animation front, by accumulating three mandates as president for the companies Cartoon Network Studios, Hanna Barbera Studios and WB Animation Studios.
It is therefore with the confidence of a big name in the industry that Craig McCracken will return to animate, once again, the three heroines born from theChemical Agent X. No release date or pre-production details for the moment, we will still have to wait a few months, even a few years, before hoping to find the trio and their wacky opponents, hoping that the graphic style remains in the nails of the game. first animated series.
On the slightly less exciting news front, the editorial staff of variety confirms in passing that the adaptation in real images of Powerpuff Girlsa time envisaged by the teams of the chain C.W., has not yet been thrown in the trash. It is likely that this other project will be reviewed from top to bottom following the filming of a first pilot which obviously was not enough to convince the production last year. Baptized “power puff“, the series proposed to find Beautiful, Bubble and Rebel in adulthood, rid of their illusions of youth and gone in opposite directions. Diablo Codyfilm screenwriter Juno and Jennifer’s Bodywas to take care of the writing at the time in the company of Heather Regnierproducer on Veronica Mars and the serialized adaptation of sleepy hollow.
To see if this team will still be at the maneuver if this other project comes out of the ground one day, and if the distribution engaged at the time (Chloe Bennet, Dove Cameron and Yana Perrault) will also be maintained for the three main roles.
