* 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. Bubbles can't stop crying, 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[[note]]by pushing Bubbles into the school during the game of tag[[/note]] 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.

* {{Retcon}}: The Mayor from the timeframe of the show is shown also being the Mayor when the girls were created. The totally different Mayor from the ''Series/WhatACartoon'' short "Meat Fuzzy Lumpkins" is nowhere to be seen. Unless they're meant to be the same character, in which case it's one hell of a case of BackportedDevelopment.

Adult Fear is now a disambig.


* AdultFear:
** There is a brief scene in which a robot operated by one of the ManiacMonkeys is spewing bombs around a baby carriage. Blossom rescues the baby just before the bombs go off, but still...
** Also, when the Professor is found out for creating the girls, he gets sent to jail for the collateral damage they caused to the city during a game of tag, and he has no idea where the girls are or whether they're truly good.

The correct form is "bald-faced".


* FalseReassurance: Mojo tries to do this to the girls, but Bubbles causes him to pause and tell a bold-faced lie in order to keep reassuring them. Not that he sees it that way...

* 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".


Added DiffLines:

* CallForward:
** Note the reason the Girls are born is Jojo pushed the Professor, smashing his spoon into a bottle of Chemical X and spilling it into the concoction, which was brought up in "Mr. Mojo's Rising".
** At the end of the movie, the Professor allows the Girls to continue their crime-fighting as long as it's before their bedtime, which references the famous tagline "Saving the world before bedtime."

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Mojo's plan for world domination unravels because of this trope. It's not because he is a BadBoss to his primate army, it's that he made them [[GoneHorriblyRight all equally intelligent and power-hungry like himself]], and none of them wants to be a subordinate to Mojo Jojo.


Added DiffLines:

* 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.

** The Professor suffers from this when the girls (unknowingly) helped Mojo Jojo create an army of intelligent apes. He doesn't even know anymore if the girls he created are perfect little girls at all. He must also feel this way during the ape attack, as he created the girls out of a desire to help the city, but indirectly made things even worse.

* KnightOfCerebus: This time, Mojo Jojo is a more serious character with only a few humorous moments. He even has a DarkAndTroubledPast that includes being discriminated to insanity. He also succeeded in awakening the ape apocalypse, nearly destroying humanity, and gotten much closer to killing the Powerpuff Girls than anyone else, and the only reason why he didn't succeed was that he got pushed from a tower, landing on a stack of Antidote X that removed his powers.

* 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 he gets frustrated when they disobey him and make each of their own plans for world domination.

** When the girls realize that Mojo has been lying to them all along and they've inadvertently helped him take over Townsville, resulting in the townspeople hating them even more, they beg the Professor to believe that this isn't what they wanted. When even HE expresses doubt in them, they fly straight up through the sky and into outer space in despair, shouting their BigNo as they go.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Mojo's plan was to make every ape at the Townsville Zoo as super-intelligent as he was and use them as his army to take over Townsville, and then the world. But once he announces his plan to rule as King of the planet of the apes, all of the super-intelligent apes promptly turn on him an announce that ''they'' will take over the world instead. For some reason it never occurred to Mojo that an army of super-intelligent primates made just as smart as he was, would be smart enough to ''challenge his authority''.
