The Powerpuff Girls Movie

2002

After destroying the city of Townsville in a game of tag, a trio of superpowered little girls must redeem themselves by stopping a vengeful monkey's plot for world domination.

Ages 7+Source checked

Why this age? Cartoon superhero combat, city destruction, frightening mutant primates, a strangulation threat, and intense peril may unsettle younger children, though violence is fantastical and the ending is reassuring. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ.

What’s in it?

Products & advertising2/5
Why this rating?

Standard media tie-in properties apply, but the film content itself is not an advertisement.

Death of a character1/5
Why this rating?

No significant character deaths; focus is on defeating villains and saving the city.

Strong language1/5
Why this rating?

Very mild name-calling or exclamations appropriate for all ages.

Frightening scenes3/5
Why this rating?

Children become lost and cornered, a city is attacked, primates mutate, and a giant villain threatens the heroes and population.

Violence4/5
Why this rating?

Frequent cartoon superhero fights, destructive power use, attacks by mutant primates, explosions, and a villain's defeat; violence is fantastical with little injury detail.

Diverse representation1/5
Why this rating?

It prominently features three capable girl protagonists and varied personalities, but provides limited broader human cultural or identity representation.
