What is PPGmac?

PPGmac title

The Powerpuff Girls (also known by its hashtag name PPGmac) is a non-profit fanmade reboot of the original Powerpuff Girls series created by Craig McCracken. It's an answer to the negative reception of the 2016 reboot of the franchise, in which it's designed to return to the franchise's original roots while still being its own separate series. It was first created as a Tumblr page made by Mac the Writer, and after the generally positive response from fans of the franchise, it spread to DeviantArt, Twitter, Facebook, and in The Powerpuff Girls Wiki.

The first entry's title has officially been revealed in September 13th, 2016. It became known as The Powerpuff Girls: Signals in the Sky. The name is based on the song Signal in the Sky (Let's Go) by The Apples in Stereo.

Plot Synopsis[]

First Entry - Signals in the Sky[]

The City of Townsville is now an uninhabitable city because of its escalating crime rate. As the civilians lost all hope, one man named Professor Utonium wanted to create the Perfect Little Girl to lighten up the city. However, his and the city's fate changed forever when he accidentally added the ingredient for supersoldiers to the concoction: Chemical X.

Second Entry - Beauty and the Boys[]

Mojo Jojo, after many defeats by the Girls, decided to fight fire with fire. Stealing the ingredients Snips, Snails, Puppy Dog’s Tail and Chemical X from the Professor, he created the Rowdyruff Boys, named Brick, Boomer, and Butch. After they rebelled against him, the Girls had to stop the Boys from causing carnage to Townsville, while Mojo found another way to replicate the Girls.

Third Entry - Keys to the World[]

As the Girls lived a normal life, trouble ensued when HIM brought chaos into Townsville. In need to stop the powerful demon, the Powerpuff Girls flew to Kaiju Isle, the only remains of Atlantis, to collect the seven Keys to the World. Meanwhile, Mojo followed them with his own Girls, and the Rowdyruff Boys strikes back with vengeance.

Noteable Inspirations[]

Powerpuff Girls related[]

The Whoopass Girls in a Sticky Situation![]

Very_First_PowerPuff_Girls_-_The_Whoopass_Girls

Very First PowerPuff Girls - The Whoopass Girls

This initial version of the Powerpuff Girls is one of the bigger inspiration to my take on a Powerpuff Girls reboot, aside from the original series that ran from 1998 to 2005.

First, you might have noticed that my redesigns of the Girls look notably longer. It’s intentional, since their longer body are inspired by the Whoopass Girls’ designs.

Another thing to add about the inspiration from Whoopass Stew is the use of minor curse words in my reboot. Yes, I’m going for that. Since The Powerpuff Girls were initially called The Whoopass Girls, I felt that having some occasional minor curse words said by the characters, mainly Buttercup, Sergeant Ballistic, Mojo Jojo and Ace Copular, would be fitting for a more darker take on the franchise. I’m sort-of going for a PG-13 rating, seeing how The Powerpuff Girls is already pretty brutal in terms of violence.

The redesigns of the Gangreen Gang, most noteably Snake and Lil' Arturo, were inspired by their initial appearance in Whoopass Stew. Snake's colour schemes were changed to resemble his Whoopass Stew counterpart, and Lil Arturo's eye was revamped and he now has two zeroes on his shirt.

What a Cartoon! Pilot Episodes[]

The_Powerpuff_Girls_Crime_101

The Powerpuff Girls Crime 101

The humour of Meat Fuzzy Lumpkins and Crime 101, alongside some of the character designs (specifically, Packrat and the Amoeba Boys), are a big inspiration for PPGmac. The more "zany-er" and "three-dimensional" approach was also inspired by these two What a Cartoon! shorts.

Other Films and Shows[]

The Iron Giant[]

Iron-Giant-Superman

"No Atomo... I Superman!"

The Iron Giant, an animated cult film directed by Brad Bird (The Incredibles, Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol), is perhaps the biggest outside source of inspiration for PPGmac. The Powerpuff Girls, being three little children with incredible superpowers, take noteable inspiration to DC Comic superhero Superman, who the Girls have similar powers to him. The use of Superman as a metaphor to choosing one's identity is inspired by The Iron Giant, where Hogarth showed the Giant a comic book of Superman and told him how similar he is to Superman. The design of Sergeant Ballistic is similar to the design of General Rogard.

Max Fleischer's Superman[]

Fleischer superman

Alongside The Iron Giant, the 1940s Superman cartoon (by Max Fleischer) is another major source of inspiration to PPGmac. The art style of Superman is an inspiration to the art style of the City of Townsville. Whereas the original show's design of Townsville is a lot more flat, the design of Townsville from PPGmac is more three-dimensional, yet they both keep the dynamic aspects of the city. Also, the Superman comic books that Blossom reads, alongside the broken VHS of Superman bears striking resemblance to both Max Fleischer's Superman and the Golden Age version of Superman. This decision was to give the Girls an inspiration to an optimistic and hopeful Superman, as oppose to a dark and bruting Superman established in Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Cats Don't Dance[]

Catsdontdance01

The animation style and classic Cartoon Network humour of PPGmac draws inspiration from the underrated animated classic, Cats Don't Dance. Many character designs, namely background characters and other human characters, are inspired by the movie, alongside other Warner Bros. TV shows like Animaniacs.

Real-Life People[]

Commissioner Tartakovsky[]

The commissioner of the Townsville Police Department (TVPD) is not only based on the commissioner seen in the episode Cop Out, but he's also named after legendary CN animator Genndy Tartakovsky.

Mr. Barbera[]

Mr. Ken Barbera is named after both Ken Spears and Joseph Barbera (a reference to how The Powerpuff Girls was once owned by Hanna-Barbera Productions)
