'Powerpuff Girls' 2016 Revival Reboot Gets New Tacocat Theme Song, "Who's Got the Power"
The city of Townsville, a place where three lovely little girls named Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup are the biggest superheroes who are always up for saving the day whenever it's before their bedtime! Cartoon Network's new Powerpuff Girls revival reboot gets closer to its spring 2016 release date every day, so days after the first clip came out, we've got the new theme song: "Who's Got the Power?"
According to Polygon, Cartoon Network has just released the official theme song and intro to the new Powerpuff Girls series, and it's an empowering pop-punk song by Tacocat. The new song is fairly different to the original, more sugarcoated tune from the '90s, but the theme remains the same: these little girls have got it under control.
The song was released along with the new title sequence, which begins the same way as the original show did back in the 90's: with an introduction taken straight out of your childhood.
"Sugar, spice and everything nice," the Narrator says once again in the new introduction. "These were the ingredients chosen to create the perfect little girl, but Professor Utonium accidentally added an extra ingredient to the concoction: Chemical X. Thus, the Powerpuff Girls were born!"
As Comic Book Resources reports, if the voice of the Narrator sounds familiar it's because it's the same one from the original show, as Tom Kenny, who voiced the Narrator and the hilariously ineffective Townsville Mayor, will be reprising his role. The girls' voices, however, are different in this new reboot, with Amanda Leighton taking the role of redhead group leader Blossom, Kristen Li playing sweet blonde Bubbles and Natalie Palamides voicing aggressive brunette Buttercup.
The animation for the Powerpuff Girls reboot remains largely the same as the original, with a few tweaks here and there to the classic look of the preschool-age heroines. And, as shown in the new theme song, there seems to be a cute change: the girls' hotline is apparently an iPhone-like cellphone now!
