In this Movie, the girls are made from sugar, spice and everything nice by the professor, but by mistake his assistant, a monkey called Jojo, puts to the mix the chemical x. The girls now have superpowers and destroy the Townsville unawares. So, to win the hearts of Townsville, they protect and save it by fighting the evil and crime.
Utilising the cheapest-looking animation ever to grace a cinema screen, this Cartoon Network spin-off will only appeal to a fraction of pre-teen girls.
The animation is refreshingly retro minimalist and saturated with pastels (including the colored vapor trails of the little heroines), and the action is nonstop.
The slam-bang superheroics are kinetic enough to engross even the most antsy youngsters.
