The Powerpuff Girls: The Lost Kingdom trilogy

**The Powerpuff Girls: The Lost Kingdom** is a trilogy of American-Candian television films created by Mainframe Entertainment, S1 Media, and Cartoon Network Studios. The films aired on Cartoon Network through 2004 to 2006. It's also the first time that CGI animation was used in the Powerpuff Girls franchise.

The trilogy is composed of three films: The Keys to The Kingdom (2004), Divide & Conquer (2005), and Battle for The Power (2006). A fourth one was planned and the script for the fourth film was finished, but the idea was scrapped due to the 3rd film being reworked.

## Production

The production of the films began around 2003 after the 5th season of The Powerpuff Girls ended. S1 Media and Mainframe Entertainment were tasked with creating a feature TV film based on the series

## Music

The music was composed by Robert Buckley and Brian Carson and features a mix of Rock and Electronic.

The opening and closing theme used for the films is "Tomorrow World" by Squarepusher.

A soundtrack for the films was released by Warner Sunset Records and Atlantic Records and featuring Alternative Rock, Drum & Bass, and IDM tracks.

## Release

The films were released on DVD by Warner Home Video throughout 2004-2006. There were released three months after they aired on TV. and were released in a 3-DVD boxset in 2007 As of now, the DVDs and the boxset are out-of print and they are yet to be released on Blu-Ray.

In June 2017, he was asked about the films being remastered and released on Blu-Ray, Micheal responded by saying it's possible, but Cartoon Network and WarnerMedia aren't interested in releasing them on Blu-Ray as of now due to their focus on the 2016 Powerpuff Girls reboot. Rainmaker Entertainment responded by saying they'd love to get the films released on Blu-Ray, but they'd have to reach out to Cartoon Network and Warner Bros. on the idea.

Someone suggested that they release the films on Netflix, but Micheal responded saying that Cartoon Network is no longer in a contract with Netflix and the possible chances of that happening is unlikely. The response did generate some controversy due to the negative reception of the 2016 reboot. Micheal responded to the controversy telling people to "have patience" and that he and WarnerMedia will sort something out.

The films were later released on March 2021 on HBO Max with S1 Media handling the remastering. This also marks the first time that the 1st film of the trilogy was released in widescreen format since it was originally shown in the 4:3 aspect ratio.

## Possible 4th Film

The trilogy was originally meant to be composed of 4 films. A script for the 4th film was finished at the time the 2nd film was finished. The 3rd and 4th films was meant to be a 2 part finale to the story. But after the 3rd film was reworked, the 4th film was scrapped altogether despite the script being finished.

When asked about this at a Comic-Con press-conference in 2015, Micheal has stated there are some questions in the films that weren't answered, stating that he would love to work on a 4th film to fill in those plotholes, but he would have to pitch the idea to Rainmaker and Cartoon Network to see if they're both interested.

As of 2021, WarnerMedia and Cartoon Network have stated they aren't interested at the moment in doing a 4th film, most likely due to the upcoming live-action adaption being developed for The CW.
