Movie Reviews of The Powerpuff Girls: Meet the Beat-Alls
Movie Review: Odd stuff...
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm not sure what to think about this. As far as animation goes, it's nothing to talk about at all. As far as the writing goes, it has its moments, and certainly the Beat-Alls episode was a high point in this collection. However, I really cannot figure out what exactly the target audience of the PPG is/are. Is it meant for nostalgic adults, or for teens, or pre-teens? I really can't figure it out. It seems altogether too violent for pre-teens, and the 60s/70s pop culture references make it a bit inaccessible for teens. So is it really just meant for nostalgic middle-agers? Anyhow, at about $5, its worth the price of entry, if only for the Beat-Alls.
Summary of The Powerpuff Girls: Meet the Beat-Alls
When danger looms in Townsville the call goes out for Bubbles Blossom and Buttercup - The Powerpuff Girls! Under the watchful eye of their mentor Professor Utonium the girls fly into action against a colorful gallery of nefarious villains -- saving the day before bedtime! Created by cartoonist Craig McCracken the series began life as one of Cartoon Network's World Premiere Toons. A chance meeting gives Mojo Jojo Him Fuzzy Lumpkins and Princess the idea to team up to defeat The Powerpuff Girls. Together they create the world's first criminal supergroup the Beat-Alls unleashing an eight-days-a-week wave of crime and mayhem in Townsville. The combined power of the Bad Four creates hard days and nights for Blossom Bubbles and Buttercup who find defeating the Beat Alls to be a long and winding road. Only by enlisting the help of Moko Jojo a mysterious "performance criminal" are the Powerpuff Girls able to curtail the Brutish Invasion. DVD. Recorded in USA. Playtime 80 minutes.Running Time: 120 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: CHILDREN/FAMILY UPC: 014764192727Townsville's cutest cops curb a brutish invasion by a new breed of mop tops in Meet the Beat-Alls, a Powerpuff caper so packed with sly Beatles references it could sink a yellow submarine. Forget the under-15-minute running time--here, Bubbles, Buttercup, and Blossom face the longest and windingest road of their crime-fighting careers, as Mojo Jojo, Him, Princess, and Fuzzy Lumpkins band together to become the Beat-Alls--the Bad Four--a collective that soars to the pole position on the most-wanted charts, sending girls screaming. When the police cry out for help--they need somebody--the girls gather their gumption and go forward with a plan to break up the Beat-Alls: They enlist Moko, a white-costumed monkey with seductive Asian flair, to pose as a performance criminal. Fellow simian Mojo Jojo, who thought he was a loner, goes bananas; soon the other Beat-Alls beat it and the girls bust in and break the news that Mojo's going nowhere, man. All that spoofing doesn't sap the Powerpuffs of their superheroine steam: In "Bought & Scold" they square off against Princess, whose daddy throws down the cash to crown her mayor; in "Bubblevision" they're a sight for sore eyes, even though one of them looks dorky in her new glasses, as a giant ant rips through town; "Jewel of the Aisle" finds them firing away at a gem thief posing as cereal hero Lucky Captain Rabbit King; and demented lout Lenny's plan to possess the Powerpuffs comes crashing down in "Collect Her." If you're old enough to get the gags, allow the title episode to edge out other potential Powerpuff purchases, it's that clever. Otherwise, whatever propels you, rest assured that not one of these episodes will let you down or leave you flat. For children ages 7 and up. --Tammy La Gorce
