The new collection comes on the heels of Hello Kitty’s 50th anniversary celebrations in 2024. The Powerpuff Girls, meantime ran for six seasons on the cartoon network, quickly becoming one of the network’s most popular shows. Nostalgia and demand for the female crime-fighters led to an animated revival in 2016, along with plans for a live-action reboot that was ultimately shelved. You can currently watch all six seasons of the original animated series on Prime Video.
