An overwhelming demand for "sugar, spice, and Chemical X" has led the Cartoon Network to bring back The Powerpuff Girls, the cartoon series created by Craig McCracken in 1998. These original exemplars of "Girl Power" were a game changer for the Cartoon Network, and the girl-centric animated series lasted for 78 episodes and also spawned a feature film, a 10th Anniversary Special as well as a computer-animated special.
Variety reports that the rebooted Powerpuff Girl franchise will include the new animated series and a full licensing program that will roll out across all regions and various types of media. IDW Publishing recently began publishing a popular Powerpuff Girls comic book (DC Comics did one back in the day). The IDW series gained a bit of extra notoriety when the Cartoon Network pulled a controversial cover after complaints from some comic book retailers (see "Cartoon Network Pulls Controversial 'Powerpuff Girls' Cover").
