Powerpuff Girls: Reboot vs. Classic

By W. R. Miller on March 9, 2016

Cartoon Network is rebooting the popular Powerpuff Girls franchise, but they’re eschewing the classic style. Digital cartoonist Ed Peppe notes, “People out there aren’t really a fan of the art/animation style of the upcoming Powerpuff Girls reboot. I agree. So as a little project, I took the first promo clip Cartoon Network had put out and decided to reanimate it from scratch. Not sure if I did any better or worse, but at least it kept me from getting rusty.”

Here’s how Peppe emulates the thick lines, posing and timing of the original series:
