The Powerpuff Girls Movie (PG-13 version)

The Powerpuff Girls Movie is a 2002 animated sci-fi drama superhero dark feature-length film based on the Cartoon Network animated television series The Powerpuff Girls. Produced by Cartoon Network for Warner Bros, it was released in the United States on July 3, 2002. The movie was rated PG-13 for sci-fi violence, blood, intense images, swearing, and references to alcohol.
The film is the prequel of the television series, telling the story of how the Powerpuff Girls were created and how they came to be the defenders of Townsville.
In theaters, a Dexter's Laboratory short entitled "Chicken Scratch" was shown prior to the film, which later aired as part of that series' fourth season.
The film received mixed to positive reviews from critics, and earned $1 billion at the domestic box office on its $980 million budget. It fared better overseas, with a total worldwide gross of $1.1 billion. The film made its television debut on Spike on May 23, 2003.
== Differences between the real world version and PG-13 version ==
(WARNING - There will be SPOILERS for The Powerpuff Girls Movie if you haven't seen it, so please read at your own risk.)
Originally, in the real world, series creator Craig McCracken originally intended for the movie to be even darker, originally shooting for a PG-13 rating. This was actually due to Cartoon Network and Warner Bros. going through the early phases of their experimental "adult animation" period that would lead to the creation of [adult swim] (other products of this including the likes of the John Kricfalusi-esque The Flintstones on the Rocks and the live action Scooby-Doo movie originally being intended for older audiences with an R rating). However Warner Bros. later backed down from this idea and requested the film be toned down to a PG rating (the Scooby Doo movie was similarly affected by having much of the adult humor cut out of the final film in order to get a PG rating).
But however, in this alternate timeline, Warner Bros. changed their mind and allowed The Powerpuff Girls Movie to be PG-13.
Here are the differences:
*When Mojo Jojo uses his fire breath to burn the Powerpuff girls, fire is seen on their hair.
*When One Of The Mojo’s Army’s knocks the teeth out of Buttercup, blood is seen coming out of his mouth.
*Deleted scenes are added into the film.
*During the movie's climax, a giant Mojo Jojo has more dialogue than in the real world movie.
*The final battle is much longer.
