The Powerpuff Girls is an animated series about three superpowered little girls who fight crime in Townsville, USA. Created by an accidental combination of sugar, spice, everything nice and Chemical X, the Powerpuff Girls battle with supervillains like Mojo Jojo, Him and Fuzzy Lumpkins.

The series first started developing in 1992 when Craig McCracken produced a short called "The Whoop-Ass Girls" for a class at California Institute of the Arts which was debuted at Spike and Mike's Twisted Animation Festival. Based on his initial short, a new full color short called A Sticky Situation! was financed and produced following the premiere at the festival (still under the title of the Whoop-Ass Girls). The prospective title was renamed to The Powerpuff Girls, a more television friendly name, in 1995 when two shorts were produced and aired on What a Cartoon! Show, entitled Meet Fuzzy Lumpkins and Crime 101.

The series was picked up for a full run on November 25, 1998 and ran for six seasons, ending on March 25, 2005 with an inordinate 78 episodes and 1 special. The series spawned a full length movie in 2002 entitled The Powerpuff Girls Movie.
