The Powerpuff Girls

The Powerpuff Girls is an American animated television series about three kindergarten-age superhero sisters—Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup—created in a laboratory by Professor Utonium using sugar, spice, everything nice, and the accidental addition of "Chemical X." The show aired on Cartoon Network from 1998 to 2005, blending action, humor, and a distinctive retro-futuristic art style.

The title has become shorthand for a certain type of girl-power media aimed at children: It's giving Powerpuff Girls energy.
