The Powerpuff Girls Movie; Cartoon Network's Box Office Mistake 

I think the reason for it's failure was because of the unnecessary violence and destruction. Cause the film came out a year after 9/11 and that event was still fresh in everybody's mind.

Hey Steve!Big fan! I have a big wish... how about u review ”Dinosaurs” from 2000, its controvelrsal,sad and has special moments, and since you reviewed dinosaur movies before, i tought it would be good to review.

@@chickennuggets9792 Since you are a dino fan then I recommend you Dinosauria series by Dead Sound. It's a documentary series that depicts dinosaurs in realistic way with their emotions and communication skills and social behaviours

hey Steve, will you do a review on Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal? It's a great series, and its 2nd season is already almost over.

@@chickennuggets9792 Yep ! A favorite of mine ! It's even one of the two first movies, even the very first that I watch in my life durings my childhood years ! And the one who influenced me and likely give me so love and passion into dinosaurs and prehistoric life ! But, honestly, I don't think it deserved at all even for one single second the term of controversial ! Sure, this movie have a big, big, and long story developement (one decade at least), had many rewritten scenario from a ultra mature, tragic and highly sad and fatal atmosphere to a more and generic family film. But even here, there any thing at all of bad and negative to say about it and his final released version ! For a Disney film, family film, and 2000 film, for the time, this movie (even if he was destined at the base at his released as a "little disney" film) was a fucking, crazy event and cinematographic piece ! The overall scenario and the cast of characters are maybe pretty generic and predictible in their role into the plot and the plot itself, the rest do all the highlights of the movie ! The soundtrack, the musics, the visuals/graphisme and landscapes, the ambiance, the cinematography, but also the GCI/3D who even stand up today and was already really good to watch at the time ! And the characters, despite being not humans, are well integrated into the live-action/real life landscape setting, and are extremely expressive with enjoyable facial expressions ! And that was 19 years BEFORE the Lion King Remake who is how we know this latter one is (not bad, just okay, it's already that, but could have been better with one or even two additional elements, mainly more facial expressions). Disney Dinosaurs have highly facial expressions characters despite being and depicted as ultra realistic animals, like in the Jungle Book Remake of 2016 (and this is one think I never undesrtand that they didn't do the same thing for the Lion King Remake despite the two Remake have 3 years only between them). And for a family film, a Disney film and a film who want to have a pretty basic plot story and characters (the hero, the love interest, the comic relief etc...)... dam ! noneless he went with many good and assumed desicions and parties ! Because, especially we people who have seen the movie and who grow up and watch again it, we can really see how serious he is ! For a Disney film, there many onscreen death, clearly visible injuries, hard moment, attack scenes, horrors sequences, etc... really many thing that show us how serious and hard the world in which the protagonnist are is dangerous, where the single error can be fatal, and ... well, like in real life nature ! We have a movie very realistic in final ! (and for a Disney film, there any musical moment were the characters sings in front of us, a rare note for a movie of his time). Also, most of the species on screen are also mainly ones who are lesser known or populars (like, second place category ones), and outside some like Brachiosaurus, Parasaurolophus or Velociraptor (who btw is really well made, being like in real life even if he still haven't feathers, in term of shape and size), most of the species seen in this movie are quite less used in popular audivisual media. There any T-rex, Triceratops or Stegosaurus, and it's truly a good element that the movie don't fall into the error to repose and use overused popular species. So, it's maybe because he was unconventional with his inside elements at the time that some people, even today, unfairly said negatives critics about him ! And that the moie is overall a little forget by the public in general. Being only known by everybody who like and love dinosaurs. And thankfully, on this side, the movie is a big and strong stone/piece well anchored into the Dinosaurs domain category in our cultural popular culture ! And the movie have left and give many things and marks ! Not only remaining in the minds of many, numerous even today (being highly famous and remembered with Jurassic Park's franchise, The land Before time movies, the Good Dinosaurs etc...). But many things in our regular dinosaurs knowledge and we love strongly wee given by this movie ! It's thank to this movie that most of the characters dinosaur species received a second popularity wave (Iguanodon, Styracosaurus, Ankylosaurus were quite forgeted after their respective discoveries and not very shown during the 80-90's and the Dinosaurs Renaissance era); It's this movie who give to us and intoduced to the public the terrific Carnotaurus ! This latter being completely unknown to the public before that (was used only before by Crichton in The Lost World novel). And, true fun fact, it's because of the use of this specie in the Disney film that the producers of Jurassic park 3, who was released one years after Dinosaurs of Disney, that they replace the Carnotaurus of the film (who was initially thought to appeared into the third film) by the Ceratosaurus during the "poop sequence". So, in final, Disney Dinosaurs is truly a beautiful film and even a underestimated masterpiece golden nugget movie, that I recommend to everyone to watch ! There everything of a family and adventure film : action, suspense, fun/comedic joke, enjoyable moment, serious scene, horrific and terrific moments, sadness, hope, and courage element.

I was so young when this came out i was just hyped for the film lol not old enough to care about substance it all fell apart after the movie tho

Should've kept the beginning creation of PPG, time skip into them being like 5th graders that are glitching. The Prof. made Chemical X2 and X3 where X2 stabilizes the girls at the cost of their powers turning them human with designs of the people and X3 that Prof. made to destroy the RowdyRuff Boys when they beat the girls the first time and to neutralize Mojo.

Yeah really agree!

@@joseguadalupemartineztorre9702 The timeskip and "glitching" idea is interesting but, why just destroy who they are, or everything, by the end?...

EEnE ftw!

I forgot how awesomely violent you were mi amor~ 💖💖💖

I forgot how disturbing HIM was.

​@@ihatevendingmachines2966Bro what

Awwwwww! :D

Awwww, that's sweet of your dad.

That's amazing

I got secondhand bliss just from reading this! I was also turning 8 that year and The PPG was my absolute fave!

You must've had an awesome day.

Well, that's Warner Brothers for you since they barley promote their animated films at all and this was before the drama that's going on with them today. I mean, look at what happened with The Iron Giant.

Yeah, I remember going to see this in theaters as a kid, and I never saw ANY commercials on any channel other than Cartoon Network. And most of them were either late at night, or early in the morning. I DO remember seeing some print ads in Disney Adventure or Nick Magazine (including a Got Milk? one) but that was about it.

@@butterflylatte3079 Yeah, to think we could've gotten a Dexter's Lab movie in theaters.

Same thing with Batman: Mask Of The Phantasm, kinda.

@@misterjersey5460 I did hear about how they last minute put the film in theaters rather than Direct To Video as intended.

I never understood that last bit about transformers fans, nor did I see it when I was a kid except for one video of TFA Optimus and ... Megatron? I think? Kissing each other.

Ah yes, gender roles. Gotta love it when adults try to force children into a box regardless of what they want. But anyway, I’ve noticed that there are a lot of female fans that enjoy shows where the target audience is males, but for some reason the reverse isn’t really true. Sometimes it is, but it’s far more rare.

I'm probably that one guy that had no problem saying I liked The PowerPuff Girls when I was a kid.

@@beyondviolet That’s actually one of the reasons the og Teen Titans was canceled, I think.

@@Malicious_Spectrum why, because girls liked it too? I don’t understand

I forgot how much I truly love this movie

This film has some great moments, but it definitely needed better Pacing

@@robotx9285 Definitely.

I remember when I use to watch it more than once (good old days)

Well good movies is sometimes a box office failure Like how disney's 1940s pinocchio and fantasia both had a box office failure due to the starting of world war II

Beating monsters to a pulp and destroying everything while at it? how is that even girly?

@@user-en4eo1cc4t He is talking about literally children

Funny enough, that's exactly how Steve came across the series.

PPG showed blood in their opening when Samurai Jack couldn't 🤣 I still can't fathom that

When I was young and used to watch this show that sort of thing didn’t even slightly occur to me, it’s so weird how people can’t just let people enjoy what they want to enjoy.

Yeah

Agreed For example, the Wild Thornberry’s Movie and MLP 2017 movie were released in the winter and fall respectively and both did quite well

They did the same thing with the Kim Possible movies: So the Drama and A Sitch in time. Drakken like Mojo was always played off as incompetent and foolish until the movies came along and showed us that both of these comedic villains can actually really use manipulation to their fullest. The same goes with Shego. Her personality made her seem like she really couldn’t be bothered to try and take over the world even thought she was deemed as powerful. A sitch in time definitely gave us a whole different scenario, making her extremely powerful, tyrannical and an actual massive threat. I love villains that have both the “comedic relief” side and the absolute tyrannical nutcase side. Like Syndrome from the incredibles comes to mind with that too.

Think about how cold it is, that Warner Bros with Cartoon Network abandoned their fans in our own flesh and blood because of low ratings or bad writing to every animated kids action shows

This is an unpopular opinion? I thought it was awesome. Him is usually the kind of character you would use in more serious stories so I think it's awesome they used mojo for an origin movie

I really thought his obey me speech in the movie was amazing. It was lowkey chilling. It was when I was a child and lowkey still is

It really is one of the best. The action sequences are just the best thing!

The animation is EXQUISITE too.

It has Acha Cha-Cha, which already makes it notable.

@Rokenrol Bro 2019 It kind of depends on what one would exactly mean by saying something "flopped."

I agree! I also want to add that Codename Kids Next Door “Number 0 Special “ to that list!

I had the vchs bundle of that and birthday bash

Same!!! Another one of my favorites is when the Powerpuff girls went up against the Rowdyruff boys, and Princess

It was also in Mojob.

Yes the same thing with seed of chucky that the movie flopped because it had a battle with the incredibles 1, polar express and the spongebob squarepants movie 1 that's why.

In Season 3, they showed how much they had loved character derailment just for kicks. "Moral Decay" is a prime example.

@@yunidai16 Maybe, but most agree the show really hit seasonal rot when Craig left.

I personally think this is one of Steve's worst videos. The points he makes are terrible and I couldn't even watch the whole thing.

Enthusiasm without precaution can cause problems.

That’s part of the reason why it bombed. The show’s popularity was beginning to wane, and the decline fully hit when Craig left

I was also in Europe at the time though. The small theatre was packed though.

I love how some of the episodes were banned because enough parents called in saying Cailou eas annoying/a bad example in the episode.

It is a bit darker than the show so I can see why it alienated fans. Even Craig himself has since since he made it too dark

@@RYMAN1321 I thought the darkness really helped show why they ended up being so loved. The idea that they were kind of seen as a menace but still came to rescue people in trouble which earned everyone's respect.

Who says it?

Yeah, our family never had that growing up but the second it was released on dvd it was a big hit because of that fact

so how didnt it work out..

Of course, none of the toxic fans will admit that.

Mine too

Good idea, Good idea

I almost cried watching it

@@skootergirl22 I did About 20 hours later

@@snapdragongaming6238 I didn't want to spoil it for anyone

You mean the CW's Powerpuff Girls script!

@@Homey104 ah thank you for correcting me on that
