My favorite animated television series: The Powerpuff Girls

The Powerpuff Girls is an American animated televisions series created by animator Craig McCracken for Cartoon Network. 

The show centers on Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup, three kindergarten-aged girls with superpowers, as well as their "father", the brainy scientist Professor Utonium, who all live in the fictional city ofTownsville, USA. The girls are frequently called upon by the town's childlike mayor to help fight nearby criminals using their powers.

McCracken originally developed the show in 1992 as a cartoon short entitled Whoopass Stew! while in his second year at CalArts. Following a name change, Cartoon Network featured the first Powerpuff Girls pilots in its animation showcase program World Premiere Toons in 1995 and 1996. The series made its debut as a Cartoon Cartoon on November 18, 1998 and quickly became one of the channel's highest-rated programs. After the death of William Hanna in 2001, production was taken over by Cartoon Network Studios, as Hanna-Barbera became absorbed into Warner Bros. Animation. A total of 78 episodes were aired in addition to two shorts, aChristmas special, a feature film, and a 10-year anniversary special that aired on January 19, 2009.

Characters

 Blossom (voiced by Cathy Cavadini)

is known for being the smartest one, as well as being the self-proclaimed leader of the Powerpuff Girls. Her personality ingredient is "everything nice", her signature color is pink, and she has long fiery red hair with a red bow.^[19] She was named for having spoken freely and honestly to the Professor shortly after her creation. She is often seen as the most mature, level-headed, and composed member of the group, although she can at times be fussy, overbearing, petty, and too analytical. She tends to "parent" Bubbles and Buttercup, and often tries to play peacemaker between the two if they fight (though she is very quick to argue with Buttercup). In the episode "Ice Sore", she discovered her ability to freeze objects with her breath.

 Bubbles  (voiced by Tara Strong )

is the cute and sensitive one. Her personality ingredient is sugar, her signature color is light blue, and she has short blonde hair in two pigtails. She tends to act like the baby of the group, despite being the same age as her sisters, but she sometimes can get extremely mad. Her best friend is a stuffed octopus doll she calls "Octi". She exhibits the ability to both understand foreign languages (Spanish, Japanese) and communicate with various animals (squirrels, cats, monsters). She will always stand up for (and cuddle with) animals, except cockroaches, which she and her sisters find "icky". She displays and is defined by innocence, playfulness, and a gentle demeanor, having a tendency to be naïve, ditzy, submissive, and shy.

 Buttercup (voiced by Elizabeth Daily)

is the toughest of the three. Her personality ingredient is spice, her signature color is light green, and she has short black hair with raven-haired locks. She is the tomboy in the group, and she has a very short temper. Sometimes her aggression gets the better of her, making her reckless and stubborn. She has, however shown a softer side in several episodes. For example, in the episode "Cover Up", she had a soft green blanket that she was obsessed with that gave her the confidence to be a better fighter, and she is quite protective over her sisters, as shown in "Buttercrush". Buttercup hates baths and loves getting dirty. She is the only Powerpuff Girl without a unique super power (aside from curling her tongue).
