In Dance Pantsed, why is Mojo Jojo kidnapping a mathematician, an opera singer and a badger? To steal Chemical X, of course, and to finally take over Townsville. But when the Powerpuff Girls thwart his plan, he invents an evil video game called “Dance Pants R-EVILution” to control their minds and bodies to fulfill his evil plot! The Professor must visit his dark dancing past to save his girls so they can save all of Townsville!
In the fall of 2012, former Beatles drummer Ringo Starr confirmed that he did voice work for The Powerpuff Girls via his fall update on YouTube. He also revealed concept art for his character, Fibonacci Sequens, as well as live booth recordings. In late January 2013, the Cartoon Network Upfront article officially announced the special set to premiere in 2013. However as of December 16, 2013, the date has been changed to January 20th, 2014.
This is the official statement from Cartoon Network: “Sugar, Spice and Everything Nice…plus a dash of mysterious Chemical X” were the essential ingredients that created Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup—also known as The Powerpuff Girls. This groundbreaking and Emmy®-winning series, created by Craig McCracken, ran on Cartoon Network from 1998-2005 and will soar again as a brand-new, redesigned and re-imagined CG special coming in 2013 where the trio of pint-sized super heroines will be called upon to rescue not just the city of Townsville, but the USA and the world before bedtime! Featuring an original song “I Wish I Was A Powerpuff Girl” performed by Beatles legend Ringo Starr, who also portrays Townsville’s most famous flamboyant mathematician, “Fibonacci Sequins.” Originally titled this all-new original special comes from a powerhouse creative team featuring animation talent from around the globe including acclaimed director Dave Smith and award-winning art director Kevin Dart and is produced by Cartoon Network Studios in association with UK’s Passion Pictures. "Dance Pantsed" is set to premiere on Monday, January 20th, 2014, and will roll out internationally beginning in February. The special also features the original voice cast reprising their iconic roles.
Woot Woot! 400th post!

Um.... I'd say 'Yes'.
Unfortunately so, as I'd LOVE to see a live action rendition of this stupidly cute show... The fact that all the voice talent are WAAAAY above FLM age requirements would probably suggest that this film would be 'Off-Topic', but I'm glad to know it's coming out as I harbor a soft spot in my heart for the three little sprites!!
Thanks for the info, donkeykog..

I've never watched them, but that's probably because I grew up when cartoonists still had talent.
There may not be an 'official' prohibition in the guidelines, but I really don't want to have to wade through Kim Possible, Scooby Doo, or Josie and the Pussycats to get to real live kids. Unless there's a HUGE "we want them" response from the members, I'm ruling cartoons are off-topic even if they're cute.

HAHA, wait a sec!....

I've heard lots of things were better before the Great Depression!
And no, this show would not be your cup of tea.
However, we do have animation in the shorts, and it was not my intention to post PPG, just to inform of a forthcoming release. Even though I have every awesome episode, plus movie on DVD!
Edit: I just found out we can now post in Verified Off Topic! This was a great idea! Thanks for making that change.
