The Powerpuff Girls: 'Twas the Fight Before Christmas

This Christmas special is one that stands out from all the rest. While it is the typical "see Santa at the North Pole" special, it stands out because it doesn't give off that vibe until the climax. The beginning is basically the PowerPuff Girls getting ready for the holiday while Princess Morbucks does some major evil that tricks Santa into thinking she's good so she can get superpowers. Once the PowerPuff Girls find out, it becomes a race to the North Pole to set things right.

But what I think is the best part of the special was Mike Bell as Santa and the moment Santa realizes that he was duped. Not spoiling it, but let's say it's a poetic ending and gives a good moral. Never mess with St. Nick!

The Powerpuff Girls was one of Cartoon Network's greatest series, to the point where it got video games, a movie, and even a Christmas special. This special sees the Girls getting into the Christmas spirit, but this time, foul play is afoot as Princess Morbucks, who always ends up on Santa's naughty list, decides to become more rotten than The Grinch and basically mess with Santa's lists to make her nice and everyone else in Townsville naughty. When Bubbles finds out, she tells Blossom and Buttercup, and the three decide to find Santa to tell him about the mistake, but Princess, after showing off she got her wish to become a Powerpuff Girl and hearing their plan, decides to race them there to lie to the jolly elf about them coming to destroy his workshop.

The story is good, as the narrator tells it in a parody of Twas The Night Before Christmas, and there are even references to other Christmas specials put in the script. The fisticuffs are not present here, as the Girls use their powers while Princess is the one who goes hands-on in some scenes. This is a neat holiday classic.

I find The Powerpuff Girls in Twas The Fight Before Christmas (2003) is a very good Hand-Drawn Animated Christmas Special, Because of the good story writing, nice soundtrack, splendid voice acting, Likeable Protagonists are Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup Utonium, But one detestable antagonist is a spoiled brat named Princesss Morbucks, She is responsible for switching the Naughty and Nice Lists at the North Pole, For her suitable punishment is the permanent Naughty Plaque for being a spoiled brat, and Thank goodness The Powerpuff Girls saves Christmas from their spoiled bratty classmate, I'll giving this a 9/10 and Merry Christmas.

I loved the film. I follow Craig's, Tom's and especially Tara's work. It started as just watching something with my daughter, but when I realized the talent in

animation, I have grown to appreciate the work and dedication that goes into an episode...movie. direction was classic, wonderful, and I myself get a kick out of the characters as well as the voice talent behind the PowerPuffs! Even though I am partial to Tara's work, her career path thus far, you can never choose just one Puff, they are all cool, and I am not afraid to stand up as a fan of the Puffs! Go Craig! go Tom!, Go Tom! Go Tara! Go Cathy! Go Elizabeth! You all rock! Keep it up! Oh, and Genndy too! Producers are nice to have around too! lol!

It's the Christmas season, and everyone in Townsville is looking forward to what Santa Claus has for them. But when Princess Morebucks gets the notion that she might just be on Santa's "Naughty" list, she makes a visit to the North Pole and almost ruins Christmas for everyone. This lighthearted holiday fare will entertain kids and adults alike. The animation is the simple TV-style, not the computer-enhanced style the theatrical movie used. Perhaps best of all, the violence that the series is so often criticized for is kept to a minimum. Some kids may not like the depiction of Santa as a grouchy old sourpuss, but who could blame his state of mind after having to deliver a lump of coal to almost every girl and boy on the planet?
