The Powerpuff Girls: The Movie: Generations/Trivia

Trivia

 * The first installment of Warner Animation Group's Cartoon Network Cinematic Universe.
 * The first time the 2016 reboot got a feature film.
 * It is revealed that the 1998 Powerpuff Girls and 2016 Powerpuff Girls are from separate universes.
 * Nick Jennings and Bob Boyle replace Craig McCracken from the first film, though McCracken serves as one of the executive producers of the film.
 * John Debney replaces James L. Venable from the first film.
 * The film serves as the series finale of the 2016 reboot.
 * The narrator never says "The City of Townsville" at the beginning of the movie, but Bubbles reads these words on the papers before the curtains even open.
 * The scene where 2016 Blossom and Bliss sang "Brokenhearted" by Karmin while fighting off Mojo Jojo's evil primates is similar to the scene where Katie Mitchell and Rick Mitchell sang "Live Your Life" by Rihanna and T.I. while fighting off the PAL Max Prime robots from the 2021 Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation film The Mitchells vs. the Machines.
 * The Powerpuff Time Machine is the third character for Olivia Colman to voice in animated film, after PAL from The Mitchells vs. the Machines (2021) and Donka from Ron's Gone Wrong (2021).
 * Violet is Abbi Jacobson's third animated character after Nya from The LEGO Ninjago Movie (2017) and Katie Mitchell from The Mitchells vs. the Machines (2021).
 * Bunny is Awkwafina's sixth animated character after the Quail from Storks (2016), Courtney from The Angry Birds Movie 2 (2019), Otto from The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run (2020), Sisu from Raya and the Last Dragon (2021), and Ms. Tarantula from The Bad Guys (2022).
 * Bloom is Rachel Bloom's fourth animated character after Silver from The Angry Birds Movie 2 (2019), Queen Barb from Trolls World Tour (2020), and Op from Extinct (2021).
 * Unlike the first Powerpuff Girls movie (which was rated PG), this movie is rated PG-13 for strong language because in a scene, Blossom said 'fuck' one time in a non-sexualized way. According to the Motion Picture Association film rating system, the F-word can be said once in a PG-13 film as long as it’s said as an expletive. If it’s said more than once or if it’s used in a sexual context or manner, it automatically incurs an R rating. Additionally to 1 use of 'fuck,' there are also 2 uses of 'shit,' 4 uses of 'hell,' 2 uses of 'damn,' and one use of 'crap,' although the last 3 mentioned are mild language.
 * This is the final appearance of the narrator in the 2016 reboot storyline, though he returned in the 1998 series revival. He also returned in the sequel.
 * Bunny’s voice in the film had inspiration from Huggy’s voice from Bob Boyle and Nick Jr.’s Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! (another show Lara Jill Miller worked on with Bob Boyle)
 * This film premiered the day exactly 5 years after Frozen II (2019) released theatrically.
 * During production of the film, it was announced that a Minions TV Series was in the works.
 * The Powerpuff Girls from Bleedman's PPGD webcomic also got transported to the 2016 universe.
 * Craig McCracken, the creator of the original Powerpuff Girls series, said that he approved this movie, along with Seasons 4, and 5 of the 2016 reboot.
 * Months before production on the film finished, Warner Animation Group confirmed that a third The Powerpuff Girls film was in the early stages of development, which is set to be based on Craig McCracken’s Powerpuff Girlsreboot instead of the 2016 reboot, and it’s also set to be produced in association with Universal Pictures and Illumination. This would mean Catherine Cavadini, Tara Strong, and Elizabeth Daily are the respective voices of Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup instead of their 2016 voice actresses. But this also means Bliss isn't part of the film because she did not appear in the 1998 series nor the revival by Craig McCracken.
 * Alongside the 2016 Powerpuff Girls series collaborators, as well as Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, Daron Nefcy, Chris DeFaria, Pernelle Hayes, Eyal Podell, Jonathon E. Stewart, Allison Abbate, John Requa, Glenn Ficarra, Nicholas Stoller, and Craig McCracken, certain crew members who worked on Disney’s Gravity Falls, Star vs. the Forces of Evil, Amphibia, The Owl House, Big City Greens, Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants, The Loud House, and 20th Television Animation’s Family Guy, American Dad!, Futurama, and Bob’s Burgers were also involved with the film.

Follow-up television series
The Powerpuff Girls: Tales from the City of Townsville is an HBO Max original animated musical television series co-produced with Cartoon Network Studios. It is the sequel to the 2016 iteration of The Powerpuff Girls. Many of the same collaborators of the 2016 reboot (minus Bob Boyle, who has moved on to work on Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! (2025) for Nick Jr.) of The Powerpuff Girls will be involved with this new series, and the spin-offs. The series takes place after the events of the 2016 iteration of The Powerpuff Girls and the 2024 film The Powerpuff Girls: The Movie: Generations. The series was animated at Copernicus Studios and Bardel Entertainment (replacing Sunmin Image Pictures), which also provided the animation for the four spin-offs with the same combination style using 2D animation for the characters, and CGI animation for everything else. Like Seasons 4, 5, and 6 of the 2016 series, every 2 episodes had 1 or 2 songs (3 songs for double length episodes; no songs for every other 2 episodes; for example, the first 2 episodes have songs, episodes 3 and 4 have no songs, episodes 5 and 6 have songs, episodes 7 and 8 have no songs, etc.) which last 1 minute and 45 seconds.

Set after the events of The Powerpuff Girls: The Movie: Generations, Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup, and Blisstina: four girl superheroes have recently reduced crime and now live a normal life, although they still have their powers. Even so, they still save Townsville whenever they are needed, because a lot of crime eventually comes back. The Powerpuff Girls: Tales from the City of Townsville is the next chapter in the Powerpuff Girls’ adventures, and focuses on their everyday lives and musical adventures.
