DVD Reviews of The Powerpuff Girls: Meet the Beat-Alls
DVD Review: Odd stuff...
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm not sure what to think about this. As far as animation goes, it's nothing to talk about at all. As far as the writing goes, it has its moments, and certainly the Beat-Alls episode was a high point in this collection. However, I really cannot figure out what exactly the target audience of the PPG is/are. Is it meant for nostalgic adults, or for teens, or pre-teens? I really can't figure it out. It seems altogether too violent for pre-teens, and the 60s/70s pop culture references make it a bit inaccessible for teens. So is it really just meant for nostalgic middle-agers? Anyhow, at about $5, its worth the price of entry, if only for the Beat-Alls.DVD Review: Meet the Beat-Alls
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to admit that I have always had a soft spot for the Powerpuff Girls. I find the frequently tongue-in-cheek humour to be very witty and like most good cartoons are, this one is thoroughly entertaining for both kids and adults alike. My favourite Cartoon Network character is actually Dexter's Lab but until they release that on DVD I guess this will have to do as second best. This DVD has been very well thought out and designed and contains good bonus features as well as 10 great episodes. "Meet the Beat-alls" has got to be the best Powerpuff Girls episode ever. The spoof on the Beatles is extremely hilarious and is a real treat for Beatles fans as well. Highly recommended for a good laugh!DVD Review: Too cute!!

This has got to be the WORST of the PPG DVDs I've seen yet! Nothing original, nothing new, and just plain boring. Why does everybody like this trash? All they do is use other songs from an old British band from the 60s and it's not "Beat-Alls" it's Beatles! They'd probably be rolling in their graves if they knew about this! It's NOT one bit funny whatsoever! I don't know what Craig was smoking when he made this and I really don't want to know.DVD Review: Somewhat solid collection of PPG episodes
Summary: 4 Stars
Fortunately, "Meet The Beat Alls" is one of the few shining moments. When Mojo, Princess, Fuzzy Lumpkins, and Him realize that the four together can defeat the Powerpuff Girls, they team up to become the Beat Alls. Be it album covers, song titles, or that one person blamed for breaking up the Fabs, there are more Beatles references than one can throw a power punch at. I found forty-five. (Rating: 5)"Bought And Scold" has Princess Morebucks having her father buy her Townsville. Once becoming mayor, the Princess makes crime legal, to the chagrin of the Powerpuff Girls, who become unemployed, so to speak. Quick, what's that saying, "hoist by her own petard"? Or is it she who lives by the decree... whatever. (Rating: 4)
"Bubblevision" has Bubbles having eye trouble and having to wear glasses. Unfortunately, Blossom and Buttercup laugh and make fun of her. Crimony, stop picking on Bubbles, girls! Pop culture reference: giant ants and the Blondie song "Attack Of The Giant Ants." (Rating: 5)
Inbetween are a few goodies, such as a brief clip of Mojo on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?, the Apples of Stereo video of "Signal In The Sky," featuring the Fish Balloon from "Uh Oh Dynamo," and a brief look at the making of the Powerpuff Girls movie with creator Craig McCracken and the talented ladies who do the Powerpuff voices. Cavadini, Strong, and Daily, keep it up! (Rating: 4)
"Jewel Of The Aisle" involves a thief who steals a jewel which he accidentally drops in a factory manufacturing Lucky Cap'n Rabbit King Nuggets, which are a cross between Trix and Captain Crunch. Guess who buys the cereal? There's an obvious reference to the Trix rabbit and the thief's failed attempts to get it is reminiscent of Warner Brothers cartoons. (Rating: 3.5)
"Collect Her" is an unpleasant piece of work about Lenny, an obsessed Powerpuff Girls memorabilia collector who discovers to his horror that his collection is--(gasp!) complete. What else is there to collect? I say unpleasant because of what some fan obsessions can lead to: can anyone say John Lennon or Rebecca Schaeffer? (Rating: 2)
The Time Squad bonus cartoon involves going back in time to help out Lincoln, who, fed up with being dubbed Honest Abe, becomes a jerk bent on playing practical jokes on people. Including these other cartoons is reminiscent of the B-feature after the A-picture done back in the 1930's. (Rating: 3)
Overall rating: (5+4+5+4+3.5+3+2+3)/8=3.6875, rounded up to 4.
Description of The Powerpuff Girls: Meet the Beat-Alls
When danger looms in Townsville the call goes out for Bubbles Blossom and Buttercup - The Powerpuff Girls! Under the watchful eye of their mentor Professor Utonium the girls fly into action against a colorful gallery of nefarious villains -- saving the day before bedtime! Created by cartoonist Craig McCracken the series began life as one of Cartoon Network's World Premiere Toons. A chance meeting gives Mojo Jojo Him Fuzzy Lumpkins and Princess the idea to team up to defeat The Powerpuff Girls. Together they create the world's first criminal supergroup the Beat-Alls unleashing an eight-days-a-week wave of crime and mayhem in Townsville. The combined power of the Bad Four creates hard days and nights for Blossom Bubbles and Buttercup who find defeating the Beat Alls to be a long and winding road. Only by enlisting the help of Moko Jojo a mysterious "performance criminal" are the Powerpuff Girls able to curtail the Brutish Invasion. DVD. Recorded in USA. Playtime 80 minutes.Running Time: 120 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?CHILDREN/FAMILY UPC:?014764192727Townsville's cutest cops curb a brutish invasion by a new breed of mop tops in Meet the Beat-Alls, a Powerpuff caper so packed with sly Beatles references it could sink a yellow submarine. Forget the under-15-minute running time--here, Bubbles, Buttercup, and Blossom face the longest and windingest road of their crime-fighting careers, as Mojo Jojo, Him, Princess, and Fuzzy Lumpkins band together to become the Beat-Alls--the Bad Four--a collective that soars to the pole position on the most-wanted charts, sending girls screaming. When the police cry out for help--they need somebody--the girls gather their gumption and go forward with a plan to break up the Beat-Alls: They enlist Moko, a white-costumed monkey with seductive Asian flair, to pose as a performance criminal. Fellow simian Mojo Jojo, who thought he was a loner, goes bananas; soon the other Beat-Alls beat it and the girls bust in and break the news that Mojo's going nowhere, man. All that spoofing doesn't sap the Powerpuffs of their superheroine steam: In "Bought & Scold" they square off against Princess, whose daddy throws down the cash to crown her mayor; in "Bubblevision" they're a sight for sore eyes, even though one of them looks dorky in her new glasses, as a giant ant rips through town; "Jewel of the Aisle" finds them firing away at a gem thief posing as cereal hero Lucky Captain Rabbit King; and demented lout Lenny's plan to possess the Powerpuffs comes crashing down in "Collect Her." If you're old enough to get the gags, allow the title episode to edge out other potential Powerpuff purchases, it's that clever. Otherwise, whatever propels you, rest assured that not one of these episodes will let you down or leave you flat. For children ages 7 and up. --Tammy La Gorce
