Watch the new ‘Powerpuff Girls’ pop-punk intro

“Sugar. Spice. And everything nice. These were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect little girl. But Professor Utonium accidentally added an extra ingredient to the concoction: Chemical X. Thus the Powerpuff Girls were born!�

You know the words. You know that voice. But everything else about the intro to “The Powerpuff Girls� is new, including the pop-punk girl-power anthem that follows.

The new theme song, performed by the band Tacocat, reacquaints fans with the superheroes who fight crime “to save the world before bedtime.� While you can definitely catch a bit of the familiar melody from the original theme, the extended intro adds a bit more spunk and attitude to the rebooted super-sisters who are “keeping evil on the run� (at least in the city of Townsville).

Speaking of familiar, as you can also tell from the animation, the design of the new “Powerpuff Girls� is sticking closely to the look of the original series that ran from 1998-2005. Although it does look like the Powerpuff Girls have upgraded their emergency phone from a landline to a cellphone.

“The Powerpuff Girls� will feature the voice talents of Amanda Leighton as team leader Blossom, Kristen Li as the bright and friendly Bubbles, and Natalie Palamides as the tough-as-nails Buttercup. The series is set to premiere on Cartoon Network in April.
