History WesternAnimation / ThePowerpuffGirlsMovie

** Blossom also saves the Professor from falling when he gathers their gifts, and again when Mojo Jojo drops him.

* InnocentMeansNaive: The girls run into this trope when they build his "help the town and make it a better place machine".

** Bubbles is the only one to call him "Dad", and to give him a kiss on the cheek.
** Blossom catches the Professor as he falls down the stairs while bringing them gifts, with her sisters catching the presents. Blossom is the last to join, though not before thanking the Professor for their gifts.

''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls Movie'', released on July 3, 2002, serves as an [[SuperheroOrigin origin story]] for the titular girls, showing not just how they got their powers but how they came into their own as crime fighters. To date, it is the only feature film to be spun off from a show produced in-house by Creator/CartoonNetwork Studios; its poor performance at the box office essentially killed the company's plans to make feature films based on any of its other properties.

* TheStarscream: After Mojo declares himself to be king of all apes (and monkeys), every Chemcial X-infused primate in the city decide they want to be the king as well, donning their own Mojo outfit and helmet before showing their plans for world domination. It's actually successful... in that Mojo has no one left to enforce his rule over his army.

* AnimationBump: Mostly averted. The character animation mostly sticks to the limited stylized look of the show but there are some leveled-up production values to make it look like a big screen adaptation. The movie also has more background animation than the show did.

* AnimationBump: Mostly averted. While the character and background animation is more fluid and fast-paced, it mainly looks like an episode of the show.

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: The girls and Mojo Jojo were this, until the end when the girls save the town from Mojo. Unlike the girls, who didn't know they were causing havoc while playing in the city and eventually showed remorse for making things worse, Mojo earned his hatedom as he lied to the girls about his intentions and tried to take over the city by force.

* DeconReconSwitch: At first, the movie shows the realistic consequences of young children having superpowers, as the girls' roughhousing leads to collateral damage which causes the townsfolk to fear them. However, the girls eventually realize they can use their powers for good purposes and they become accepted as heroes.

* PoliceAreUseless: Zig-zagged. While one of the reasons crime was so rampant in Tonwsville was due to the police being always at the donut shop, as well as not being strong to deal with Mojo Jojo and his monkeys at the climax, they act surprisingly competent when they arrest Utonium for creating the girls and damaging the city with his daughter's tag game.

* StorefrontTelevisionDisplay: While the girls are trying to walk home in the rain, they stop at a storefront with multiple TV screens showing news reports about the destruction they caused with their game of tag.

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: The girls and Mojo Jojo were this, until the end when the girls save the town from Mojo. Unlike the girls, Mojo actually ''deserved'' this trope for his destructive ways as a regular chimp.

** Rocko Socko is a hulking KillerGorilla who is TheBrute of Mojo's primate army, with his plan boiling down to physically smashing up Townsville.

** Cha-Ching Cha-Ching is based on the famous cymbal-clapping moneky, and his name is based on a common onomatopoeia for the sound cymbols made.

** Rocko Socko is a hulking KillerGorilla who is the DumbMuscle of Mojo's primate army, with his plan boiling down to physically smashing up Townsville.

** The final set of named primates come too fast to make out their names clearly, but include Killa Drilla (attacks with a drill), Bonzo Bango (runs around headbutting people), Rolla Ova (an incredibly obese orangutan who rolls over people like a living boulder), Cruncha Muncha (attacks by biting people), Whacko Smacko (smacks people in the face) and Pappy Whappy (an elderly version of Whacko Smacko).

* DVDCommentary: Done by Creator & Director Creator/CraigMcCracken, Art Director Mike Moon, and Bubbles, Blossom, Buttercup, The Mayor, and Mojo Jojo. Why were Professor Utonium, Ms. Sarah Bellum, and Ms. Keene left out?

* EurekaMoment: In the climax, initially the girls just focus on trying to save the people and get them out of harm's way. Buttercup becomes frustrated when a dog keep nearly getting crushed that she eventually just punches one of the monkeys attacking it. She starts to apologize till the girls realize where they can put their strength to use.

* HeroicBSOD: An absolutely ''brutal'' one at the climax. After realizing the damage they did to the town by helping Mojo and being rejected by their father, the girls leave Earth and settle on an asteroid in self-imposed exile. Bubbles is sobbing her eyes out, Buttercup is enraged that she and her sisters were tricked by Mojo, and Blossom is torn between being angry at Buttercup for starting the mess (by pushing Bubbles into the school during the game of tag) and just plain [[DespairEventHorizon broken]] by the sheer destruction they've indirectly caused, the rejection they've faced, and the fact that trying to fix their mistakes only made things worse.

** Blossom also saves the Professor from falling when he gathers their gifts, hinting her protective, loving personality, and again when Mojo Jojo drops him.

* DistressedDude: While the Professor regularly played this role in the [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls series]], it definitely gets turned up to 11 for the movie. Hearing their father in distress is what brings the girls back from their self-exile in the first place, and Mojo plays dirty by abducting him to use as a hostage/HumanShield as well at a critical moment. The girls end up saving him three different times over the course of the movie - twice from falling, and once from having something fall ''on'' him.

* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: Mojo Jojo manipulates the girls, and mutates all apes and monkeys to fight against the humans for discriminating his race. It sounds well-intentioned, at least for all the primates, but it soon becomes clear that he really just wants [[DespotismJustifiesTheMeans absolute power over everyone in the world, including his mutated simian army]], and when they disobey him and make each of their own plans for world domination, he does ''not'' take it well.

* TragicHero: the girls enter here mostly because of the annoyance of the citizens of townsville towards them for destroying the city when they were playing that the girls felt so bad and broken, however when they stopped Mojo Jojo and finally the city accepted them they felt so much better.

* BreakThemByTalking: Mojo Jojo pulls this and a multitude of its {{sub trope}}s, including NotSoDifferentRemark, DontMakeMeDestroyYou, and WeCanRuleTogether.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: Mojo's army of simians has not only the standard chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans, and baboons but also numerous obscure primates such as proboscis monkeys (Hacha-Chacha), Japanese macaques (Hata Wata), gibbons, and pygmy marmosets.

''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls Movie'', released in 2002, serves as an [[SuperheroOrigin origin story]] for the titular girls, showing not just how they got their powers but how they came into their own as crime fighters. To date, it is the only feature film to be spun off from a show produced in-house by Creator/CartoonNetwork Studios.

The first few minutes show things going as they do in the opening sequence--using sugar, spice, everything nice, and an accidental dose of Chemical X, Professor Utonium brings his daughters into the world, as well as unknowingly imbuing his primate assistant Jojo with enhanced intelligence. After a disastrous game of tag wrecks their home, the City of Townsville, Utonium is carted off to prison, leaving the girls to wander the streets. Jojo finds the girls, takes them under his wing, and has them help build his base as well as a secret machine, having convinced them he only wants to help make the City a better place. Naturally, disaster ensues and the girls have to find a way to make things right.

* ArtEvolution: The movie's animation is much more fluid than the show, due to the switch to digital ink. Note that the girls' eye and dress colors are darker, Ms. Keane has larger eyes and less prominent lips, and Mojo Jojo's ears are now pointy instead of round, and appears more muscular and scuffy. In the early scenes where the Professor creates the girls, Jojo looks nothing like he did in the flashback of "Mr. Mojo's Rising".
