Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The third Powerpuff Girls DVD to be released so far, "The Mane Event" is far and away the best of the three. The first two volumes, "Down N' Diry" and "Powerpuff Bluff", had little in the way of special extras aside from trivia games and DVD-ROM options. "The Mane Event", on the other hand, is a treasure trove of special features. The disc includes only 6 cartoons culled from the show itself (the other DVDs had 10), but it makes up for it by including two cartoons that have never been seen before on television, "Helter Shelter" and "Power Lunch". These two cartoons arent the best PPG cartoons ever made, but they alone are worth the purchase. The biggest bonus of the DVD is the addition of Craig McCraken's first student film with the girls, "Whoop@@#$$ Stew", which not only can be watched with or without McCraken's audio commentary, but the use of the angle button on the DVD remote switches the cartoon from full color to pencil test. Audio commentary can also be heard on two other cartoons on the disc. The Mayor babbles through "Something's a Ms." while Mojo Jojo tears apart "Slumbering With the Enemy". These commentaries are not meant to be informative, just very fun. Other features include the Powerpuff music video "I'm a Super Girl", bios on some of the characters, interactive DVD-ROM games, and a trailer for previously released PPG and Dexter videos. The only thing that this DVD lacks that the VHS tapes with the same material has are the bonus "Cartoon! Cartoon!" shorts, which are no big loss. I think everone has seen "Dexter's Lab: A Story" enough times on Cartoon Network. All in all, "The Mane Event" is 133 minutes of Powerpuff fun you will not want to miss.
