Powerpuff Girls, The

What are little Powerpuff Girls made of? Sugar and spice and all things nice - plus an accidental splash of Chemical X, which gives Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup laser eyes and the ability to fly.

The balloon-headed trio's superpowers prove more of a curse than a blessing, however, when a game of 'tag' ends up with them destroying the city of Townsville.

Only giant-brained monkey, Mojo Jojo, understands what it's like to be labelled a freak, so he cons them into helping with his world domination plan.

Utilising the cheapest-looking animation ever to grace a cinema screen, this Cartoon Network spin-off will only appeal to a fraction of pre-teen girls. Parents, on the other hand, will wonder if the film's theme - you can beat the bad guy if you kick and punch harder than him - is a positive message to be sending kids.
