Synopsis
Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup have been saving Townsville for many years. But when a portal that the Professor recently invented starts malfunctioning, the Girls discover their past selves: the 1998-2005 Powerpuff Girls! To save their dimensions from being destroyed, they must team up with the 1998-2005 Girls to go through other dimensions, while also meeting their other past selves, such as the 2014 Girls, their 2006-2007 PPGZ's, and the 1992 Girls.

Plot
The film begins with a stage with the red curtains above. Bubbles thanks the audience for coming as she tells us that this is the story of how the Powerpuff Girls met their past selves and teamed up with them. She then starts reading the opening quotes (from the 1998-2005 series) on her paper. As she reads them, the curtains open to reveal a skyline of Townsville.

Powerpuff Girls Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup, and Blisstina Utonium discover what it feels like to work together ("Townsville Is Where We Belong"), while also meeting up with Jared, Barry, the Derbytantes, and other classmates. The next day, Professor Utonium invents a time portal and the Girls are amused. Afterwards, Rowdyruff Boys Brick, Boomer, and Butch break in and rewire the circuits of the portal, thus making it malfunction and start releasing the Powerpuff Girls' past selves.

On the way to school, Bubbles thinks about the important things in her lifetime ("Important Things In Life"). The Girls enter the school, and Blossom sees Jared. Bliss asks Blossom if she's gonna talk to him, and Blossom tells her that she hasn't decided yet.

At lunch, Blossom talks to her sisters about the past of Townsville, in which she learned about. Bubbles tells Blossom that wisdom, humility, and honesty are the three things that she is looking for, even though she is the cute one. Jared Shapiro calls Blossom, and he tells her that he found out about the other versions of the Powerpuff Girls. He also tells her that the Rowdyruff Boys tampered with the Professor's portal. At the Girls' table Bubbles tells Buttercup that the past comes before the present. Blossom later comes back to the table and tells Bubbles and Buttercup that there really are other versions of the Powerpuff Girls in main, parallel, and alternate universes.

Later, when the Girls got back from school, they discover that the portal had been malfunctioning. After trying to fix it, the portal inadvertently brings in the 1998 Girls. They tell them that nothing is what is seems in all the dimensions, and that Mojo Jojo is planning to destroy the Townsville of the multiverse. The next day, the six girls fly over to their school, only for Miss Keane to realize that there were six Powerpuff Girls in the school, leaving her confused. They then fly over to the Mayor’s office, only for the Mayor to get confused about their differences and get his assistant Ms. Bellum to get them out. Back at home, the Professor is concerned about their differences and looks, as well as why the portal was malfunctioning, and tells the seven girls that their universes are getting destroyed. So he tasks the six girls to get more of their old selves to put together a team.

In their room, they think of a plan to stop Mojo Jojo by joining forces with each other ("Getting The Team Together"). They later sneak into the Derbytantes' lair, thus sending the 1998 Girls to sneak up on Maylyn, who later discovers that there are two Buttercups, two Blossoms, and two Bubbleses. They later talk about why the portal had been malfunctioning. Bubbles tells the Derbytantes the truth about what happened. Once the seven Girls got home, the portal brings in the 2014 Girls who offer to help them with their mission.

In the lab, Bliss reveals to the Girls a Powerpuff Time Machine, and shows them the Orb of Main, Parallel, and Alternate Universes (“A Beautiful Life”). The ten girls fly to different universes with a time machine: first the 1992 universe, then the 1998-2005 universe, the 2014 universe (“What We Did In The Past”), and finally the Powerpuff Girls Z universe.

Meanwhile, Mojo Jojo, assembles his team, which includes Fuzzy Lumpkins, Princess Morbucks, the Amoeba Boys, the Gangreen Boys, HIM, Duplikate, Bianca Bikini, Barbarus Bikini, the Sporde, Silico, Sedusa, Packrat, Manboy, and the other villains from other universes to form a team, so that they can defeat the Girls once they show up.

The Girls make it to the 2016 universe. They fly over to their house, and Professor Utonium agrees to have them stay with them for the training days. After a lot of days of training, the Girls fly off to Townsville. They face Mojo and his gang, and try to battle him, but they are all outnumbered. 2016 Blossom tries to unleash the other versions of the Powerpuff Girls using the Orb of Alternate Universes, but when Bliss tries to stop her from doing so, 2016 Blossom pushes Bliss away. Bliss tries to use her telekinesis, but it doesn’t work. The villains could easily defeat the Girls, and Mojo swats the Girls, and they land into the junkyard with a thud. After an argument between Bliss and 2016 Blossom, the Girls all split up.

2016 Bubbles gets heartbroken about what 2016 Blossom did to them and starts crying. After 1998 Bubbles, 1998 Buttercup, the 1992 Girls, the PPGZ Girls, and the 2014 Girls went home to their respective dimensions, 2016 Buttercup tells 2016 Bubbles that there's no end of friendship ("We Don't Want To Be Far Apart") and 2016 Bubbles feels better and hugs 2016 Buttercup, and then they went home so 2016 Buttercup can watch a Space Tow Truck episode and 2016 Bubbles can go to sleep. She tells 2016 Buttercup good night and that she’ll see her tomorrow. Then, she hears crying in the other room. 2016 Bubbles walks through the doorway to Bliss’ room to see Bliss crying on her bed. She comforts Bliss and reminds her that she will always be a Powerpuff Girl and she will always be her sister, and the two hug. Afterwards, 2016 Bubbles tells Bliss good night, goes back to her room, and drifts to sleep.

Meanwhile that night, a sad 2016 Blossom is sitting alone in the middle of the junkyard. She starts crying because of the argument she and Bliss had earlier. 1998 Blossom comes to her and comforts her. 1998 Blossom talks with 2016 Blossom, and 1998 Blossom tells her that it is never too late to do the right thing (“The Right Thing To Do”). Unfortunately, 2016 Princess Morbucks and her 1998 counterpart kidnap the Blossoms and takes them back to the 1998-2005 universe, sending them to Mojo Jojo’s lair. The next day, 2016 Bubbles wakes up to a new day, and finds a letter on Octi’s head, so she reads it, and in shock, she discovers that the Blossoms have been kidnapped, so she tells 2016 Buttercup about it, and then tell 1998 Bubbles and 1998 Buttercup about what happened, which discovered their Blossom has been kidnapped as well, and Bliss arrives to see what's going on. The Bubbleses and Buttercups arrive too, and tell the team that the Blossoms have been kidnapped, and the other Powerpuff Girls arrive too. Bliss and the Girls fly to the 1998-2005 universe using the Powerpuff Time Machine.

Meanwhile, 2016 Mojo Jojo reveals to the Blossoms that he is now working for 1998 Mojo Jojo. The Mojo Jojos activate the killing machine to start erasing the Blossoms forever. The Girls arrive and were gonna rescue the two from the machine. However, they refused to rescue the two after 2016 Buttercup told them about how 2016 Blossom insulted Bliss yesterday. So they all left the two behind and went back to their respective dimensions.

Later, they were all hanging out in Town Hall, but they were not happy. Bliss regrets denying the idea of unleashing Powerpuff Girls from other universes (“Selfless”), and realizes that Blossom was right: the best way to defeat them is to unleash the Powerpuff Girls of Infinite Earths, and 2016 Buttercup how much of a jerk she was about what she said. Bliss tells the Girls that she has to unleash the Powerpuff Girls of Infinite Earths because that’s what 2016 Blossom always wanted, and then tells 2016 Buttercup that they have to go back to the 1998-2005 universe to rescue the Blossoms, and 2016 Buttercup agrees. They gathered everyone from their universes again after they went home from refusing to rescue 1998 Blossom and 2016 Blossom, and using the Powerpuff Time Machine, they went back to the 1998-2005 universe, but this time, they actually rescue the two from the machine. The Buttercups unplug the machine. 2016 Blossom and Bliss reconcile, and the Girls promise to work together, this time as a team, and fly back to the 2016 universe.

2016 Blossom gives up her leadership to Bliss, who uses the Orb of Main, Parallel, and Alternate Universes to form the “Powerpuff Girls of Infinite Earths”: the Powerpunk Girls, the Powerpup Girls, the Powerpuff Animals, the 1920s Cartoon Girls, the dancing robotic Powerpuff Girls, the Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi, Bunny, Bell, Bloom, Bullet, and many other versions of the Girls. They easily overpower the Villains, and then, Dynamo and Brambles take out the other bad guys. When Mojo Jojo and his crew have surrounded the Girls, Professor Utonium, the Derbytantes, and everybody else, come to their rescue, with the Derbytantes finally taking down the bad guys. Then, Mojo Jojo's evil primates arrive, but Bliss and 2016 Blossom work together to fight all the primates while singing Karmin’s “Brokenhearted”, joined by the 2016 Bubbles, 2016 Buttercup, the 1998 Girls, the 2014 Girls, the PPGZ girls, Professor Utonium, The Mayor of Townsville, Ms. Bellum, Maylyn, and the Derbytantes. After the other villains are defeated, Mojo Jojo injects himself with Chemical X and grows into a giant monster, and starts destroying Townsville. The Professor reveals that he has brought an Antidote X with him, but 2016 Blossom sacrifices herself to defeat giant Mojo Jojo by plummeting him onto the ground, causing a huge explosion. The Antidote X shrinks Mojo down to his original size, battered and defeated.

All of the Girls, including Bliss, Professor Utonium, and Maylyn look for 2016 Blossom until Bliss finds 2016 Blossom’s unconscious body. Bliss tries to wake 2016 Blossom up, but it was no use. Devastated, Bliss hugs 2016 Blossom and starts crying as she mourns over her sister, who wakes up, and reveals to Bliss and the others that she has done what’s right. Bliss was happy that 2016 Blossom did the right thing, and 1998 Blossom says that she was proud of what 2016 Blossom has done. The police arrests all of the 2016 villains for all their crimes, while the other 1998, 2014, and PPGZ villains are returned back into their respective universes.

With the Townsvilles finally at peace, all of the Girls are sent home to their respective dimensions. One week later, Townsville has now become more peaceful than before. The portal is fixed, and the bad guys are taken to jail. The 2016 Powerpuff Girls are glad that they don’t have to endure another multiverse-threatening crossover for at least another year, and they make a promise to keep saving Townsville no matter what happens (“The Big Finale”). The narrator says “And so once again, with the help of all of their past selves and main, parallel, and alternate versions, the day is saved, thanks to: The Powerpuff Girls! You know, it’s not hard to know this is the end of the series. I guess I’ll cut it off here. Good night everyone!” And then the song ends and the curtains close ("American Girl"), ending the film and the series.

In the UK version, Kate Garraway and Ben Shephard appear as themselves, and replace Bob LaGrange and Nick LaNobodyKnows in the news report scene.

The Cash Money Crew, the Pug-Thugs, and the Derbytantes are set to appear in the film.

Dynamo and Brambles also appear, but do not have any dialogue.

Mojo Jojo’s evil primates, including Rocko Socko, Ojo Tango, Hotta Watta, and Killa Drilla, appear as well, with Frank Welker, Kevin Michael Richardson, and Rob Paulsen reprising their roles from The Powerpuff Girls Movie (2002), although The Powerpuff Girls Movie 2: Generations is the standalone sequel to The Powerpuff Girls Movie (2002).

Development
After Warner Animation Group and Cartoon Network started development on films for a shared Cartoon Network universe, developers Nick Jennings and Bob Boyle announced a sequel to The Powerpuff Girls Movie for November 2024. This resulted in the 2016 reboot of The Powerpuff Girls being brought back by Cartoon Network Studios on May 20, 2022 (the same day as the release of DC League of Super-Pets) and renewing it for three more seasons (Seasons 4, 5, and 6), making this reboot conclude after six seasons (as well as the musical movie), the same amount as the 1998 series. All cringe and toilet humor in this reboot were permanently removed from the series (meaning no more twerking or outdated memes from Season 4 onward), as musical numbers, a lot of heart, and heartwarming messages were put in to replace the cringe and toilet humor previously used in Seasons 1-3. Amanda Leighton, Kristen Li, and Natalie Palamides will improve on their voice acting on Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup. The trio in Seasons 4-6 the reboot will be added up to four, with Blisstina being the newest member of the group.

Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup will also improve on their singing during these seasons. The fourth season will be in 2022, the fifth season will be from 2023-2024, and the sixth and final season will be in 2024.

Starting with these seasons, Blossom will redeem herself back to being an intelligent, dutiful, and kind-hearted leader and abandon her “stereotypical, bratty, and mean-spirited” personality, Bubbles will redeem herself back to being the sweet and cheerful member of the four, while also having a kind heart and a passion to grow up to become old and wise, and of course, she will also abandon her “psychotic, annoying, goody-two-shoes crybaby” personality, Buttercup will abandon her “complete bully” personality, banish all “butt-jokes” from her life forever, and redeem herself into a tough but friendly model to her family and friends, and Blisstina will appear in more episodes of the reboot in Seasons 4-6, as she will resign as the member of the Universal Protection Bureau so that she will spend more time with her sisters, fight crime, and save Townsville alongside them; she will also attend school with them.

One of the other additions to this reboot is that Blisstina will have her own bedroom, with a front doorway that leads straight to the Girls’ bedroom. The original songs for Seasons 4, 5, and 6 of the 2016 iteration of The Powerpuff Girls will be written by The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part songwriter Jon Lajoie. The soundtrack album for the reboot will be available on WaterTower Music. Seasons 4-6 will also mark the return of Sedusa and Ms. Bellum, with Jennifer Hale and Jennifer Martin reprising their roles respectively. As a result of being renewed for three more seasons, the 2016 reboot of The Powerpuff Girls will be airing on the Cartoon Network channel again.

The first episode of Season 4 will focus on Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup, and Professor Utonium giving Bliss a new room, after she quit the UPB to spend time with her family, while the second episode focuses on Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup, and Bliss attending space camp for two weeks, and Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup explain to Bliss the events of Home, Sweet Homesick, while the four try the park attractions and carnival rides, and the third episode features Ms. Bellum returning to Townsville after she cut her vacation days short due to missing him.

Danny Cooksey, Greg Cipes, and James Arnold Taylor will voice Brick, Boomer, and Butch respectively in Seasons 4-6, The LEGO Movie 3: A Powerpuff Adventure, and The Powerpuff Girls Movie 2: Generations. These seasons will be in tandem with the live-action reboot of The Powerpuff Girls on The CW.

Seasons 4-6 will have 1 or 2 songs for each episode. If it’s a double length episode, then it will have 3 songs. Each song will last 1 minute and 45 seconds. The narrator will also come back in Seasons 4, 5, and 6.

Starting with Season 4, Bliss will have her very own 2016 pajamas, which is the same as the pajamas that the 2016 Girls (her sisters) are wearing for sleepwear. She will also have her own swimsuit.

Starting with Season 4, the intro and end credits will be updated to include Blisstina Utonium (with Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup still intact), with “Who's Got the Power?” by Tacocat and “The Powerpuff Girls” by Tristan Sedillo and Hannah Watanabe-Rocco still being used.

As a result of Seasons 4, 5, and 6, much like Season 5 of the 2016 reboot of Ben 10, the animation will be brilliant and a step-up from the previous three seasons. Seasons 4, 5, and 6 will be much more faithful to the original source material than the last two seasons, as it will have more crime-fighting and less slice-of-life scenes, complete with musical numbers, heartwarming moments, and a lot of heart instead of cringe, toilet humor, memes, and twerking (which many considered the worst of one of the first three seasons) that Seasons 1, 2, and 3 had. Mojo will utilize his famous language and speech patterns again in Seasons 4, 5, and 6, Princess Morbucks will be less greedy about money, the Mayor of Townsville will redeem himself back to being a 100% funny comic relief, and the Professor will redeem himself back to his characterization he had from the original series. Blossom will still have a crush on Jared, Bubbles will still be a computer geek, and Buttercup will still be good at math. Pokey Oaks Kindergarten will be fixed and reopen from Season 4 onward. Mitch Mitchelson will also return in the 2016 reboot, with Tom Kenny reprising his role.

As for Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup, they will be much like their 1998 counterparts. The reboot will now feel like an actual reboot that’s done right. Craig McCracken will come back to Cartoon Network to join the 2016 collaborators.

The LEGO Movie 3: A Powerpuff Adventure takes place between the fifth and sixth seasons of the 2016 reboot of The Powerpuff Girls, and The Powerpuff Girls Movie 2: Generations takes place after the sixth and final season.

There was also a 3D and Dolby Vision re-release of 2002’s The Powerpuff Girls Movie to be released on July 8, 2022, to honor the film’s 20th anniversary, and it was commercially successful, grossing over $900 million worldwide.

Animation
The traditional 2D animation was handled by South Korean animation studios Sunmin Image Pictures (2016 Powerpuff Girls) and Rough Draft Korea (1998 Powerpuff Girls) for Cartoon Network Studios in Burbank, California, while CGI animation for the 2014 Powerpuff Girls was handled at British CGI animation studio Passion Pictures, and the anime-style animation for the Powerpuff Girls Z characters was handled at Japanese animation studio Toei Animation, while the live-action versions of The Powerpuff Girls (from the CW live-action reboot) were recorded in Georgia, which they were put in green screens, and edited in. The animation for the LEGO Powerpuff Girls was provided by Animal Logic, while the animation for the Funko Powerpuff Girls was provided by Funko Animation Studios. The animation for the Teen Titans Go! versions of the Powerpuff Girls will be handled at Bardel Entertainment and Copernicus Studios. Like Space Jam: A New Legacy, the film was a combination of live-action, traditional animation, and computer animation.
