Air Buttercup is an animated short based on The Powerpuff Girls first releasing on March 1, 2016. It is the second Powerpuff Girls short to be released.
Plot
The girls are at school, and Blossom throws away her lunch sack. Buttercup than explains how throwing "uptown" is for wusses, and that she has to throw it from "downtown". Buttercup then throws some trash across the school cafeteria, missing the shot. Bubbles than humorously makes a fake newscast with Octi. This angers Buttercup, who then explains why they call her "Air Buttercup". She steals a student's apple and attempts to throw it in the trash, only to hit another student. Blossom and the other students make fun of her, which angers her more. She then throws a students at the wall above the trash, only for the student to slide down the wall and slip right past the trash can. Bubbles then agrees with Octi that "She has to be angry now!" Buttercup gets angry and shoots a light down from the ceiling, almost hurting another student. She crushes the light and throws it into the trash and looks happy about it. The light, however, flies out of the trash, which makes her incredibly angry. She takes a bunch of items from other students including a student's lunch box, baseball cap, sandwich, etc., and she throws the gigantic ball of items at the trash can. The collision destroys the cafeteria and knocks Buttercup backwards into the wall. She admits to Blossom that the downtown shot is impossible. Bubbles exclaims (in her fake newscast) how this was a thrilling lunch period, crushes her pudding cup, and throws it from "downtown" without even trying. Buttercup is jealous, and Bubbles says "And that's why they call me Air Bubbles!".
