[QUOTE]Cartoon Network has revealed the first glimpse of its reimagined Powerpuff Girls series with some new artwork that's full of sugar, spice and everything nice... and Chemical X.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]Amanda Leighton, Kristen Li and Natalie Palamides will voice Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup, respectively, while Tom Kenny will return to reprise his role as Narrator/Mayor.
Emmy-winner Nick Jennings (Adventure Time) is executive producing alongside Bob Boyle (Wow! Wow! Wubzy!) as co-exec producer.[/QUOTE]
Looks like they didn't fuck with the style too much, this is good.
I always remember this show because of the monkey with super powers, and Mojojojo or whatever the fuck he's called.
didn't deviate from the originals which is good

Old voice actors are kind of bummed not being able to voice them again.
Wait, why couldn't they get the old voice actors?

No idea. Probably didn't even get approached to do it.

Judging by their reactions...you are probably right.
Well I mean its a reboot right? Start off fresh, give them a younger feel I guess. I dont see much wrong in that.
[QUOTE=Vodkavia;47911952]I feel like all they did design wise was funk around withe proportions enough to look... off.[/QUOTE]
they look like if 10 year old me tried to draw them and did a terrible job at it
But not even approaching the old voice actors to do the reboot is strange and also why only keep Tom Kenny from the original?
Never forget the best deisgn

Maybe the voice actors are better based on the characters?
[editline]9th June 2015[/editline]
Better suited I should say.
[QUOTE=Xonax;47911934]Wait, why couldn't they get the old voice actors?[/QUOTE]
Probably because they are expensive
[QUOTE=usaokay;47912031]Stuff like this sucks, but sometimes they can't use the old voice actors/actresses because their voice can change. Look at Dexter's Lab. They changed Dexter's voice in between the changes in animation style because the voice actress's voice changed.
and I haven't seen that CGI special yet, so I don't know if all of their voices are intact.
So it's either because of their voice change or the studio didn't have enough money to get those three back.
Either way, it's going to be pretty jarring to hear new voices into the characters we grew up with. It's similar to how the Pokemon anime cast was entirely recasted after the Pokemon Company took over. Some of the characters will just sound way too off from the original voice.
I'll remain angrily semi-optimistic.
Craig McCracken supports the original three.

Well they kept the original VAs.
[QUOTE=slayer20;47911948]No idea. Probably didn't even get approached to do it.[/QUOTE]
maybe they are no longer fuckables in hollywood.
Wish they'd get the idea to do some other reboots too. Would kickstar a Swat Kats reboot.
Either way i'll reserve what I think when it comes out.
This and the Reboot reboot, jeez seems like they just want this to be the 90s

I don't really care for this style, if that's what they're going for. Honestly wish they stuck with the one in dance pansted.
The artstyle looks alright. I prefer it over that one we saw a couple years ago for that special one-off episode.
But at least that had the original VA's
I suppose it's just giving the PPG a new modern look without messing with the style at all. I would have preferred danced pantsed's art style, as much as some purists hated it. Still, looks promising enough given they have experienced staff. Only complaints I could see is not getting McCracken or the vas to return, since it was McCracken's idea to end the series, which I see as perfect timing. Hopefully we're getting good reboot and not Teen Titans Go

Also I never noticed how both old and new PPG had their limbs sprout from their heads when the situation calls for it

Mojo Jojo *is* the superpowered Monkey. :v:
Not same voice actors? fuck that then.....networks need to learn a characters voice is just as iconic and needed as the characters design.
[QUOTE=Blazedol;47912185]I don't really care for this style, if that's what they're going for. Honestly wish they stuck with the one in dance pansted.[/QUOTE]
Literally the only difference I'm seeing is how thick the outlines are.
The new ones is much more "circle-y" than the old ones.
I think that they've done that because its cheaper/easier to animate with that style on current animation technology.
If only they've got the voice actors back this would be perfect.
Man... if you have the opportunity to get the new voice actors then do it.
It seems like they didn't even ask them or anything, what a shame.
As long as the new VA aren't drastically different I think I'll survive. It is a bit sad though.
[QUOTE=Oizen;47912507]Literally the only difference I'm seeing is how thick the outlines are.[/QUOTE]
that's sorta my problem. I'd much rather have something new (but still good).
Plus, they look really flat, but that's just one picture so I'll wait until I see more.
All I know is that if the voice actors are way different sounding it's going to throw me off. I haven't seen PPG in years and I can still remember how their voices sound pretty much perfectly, and I always thought they were very appropriate.
Dunno, approach with caution I guess. At least the art style is still mostly the same.
Getting new VAs is not a terribly bright decision, but seeing as the target audience wasn't even alive when the first series was on, it may not matter in the ratings department.
I was hoping they would continue with their new style, looked pretty good and original
