Between February 15 and March 15, 2016, there were a series of shorts released online, leading up to the April 4 premiere of the rebooted Powerpuff Girls TV series. I wasn't aware of the shorts until April 4, when I started working on an entry for the new show on my "animated shows I want to watch" page (because I don't get Cartoon Network, I can't watch the show itself, unfortunately). So that's when I watched all four shorts online. (Since then, there have been several more webisodes, which I haven't watched yet, but really should.)

Who's Got the Power? is an extended version of the new show's opening theme, by the band Tacocat. It actually starts with the same opening narration as the original series, but the song is kind of badass, in a cute way, and the animation of the video is way more punk than the old show (though I'm sure the animation on the new show will be much more like the original than the music video is).

Air Buttercup: Buttercup tries to play wastebasketball, but she's not as good at it as she expects. It's pretty hilarious. Especially because of the episode of Bob's Burgers I saw the night before I watched this.

Bubbles Beauty Blog (but on video): Bubbles does a beauty blog. (I'm not sure what the "but on video" part means. Like, she was using a videocamera to make it, but clearly she put the video on the internet, so... whatevs.) Anyway, her sisters keep interrupting her video shoot. It's pretty hilarious. And there are two twists at the end, which make it even funnier.

Run Blossom Run: Blossom rushes to get to school on time when her alarm clock doesn't go off. But there are a lot of distractions along the way. It's pretty hilarious. (Even so, I kinda wish it would have turned out to be a parody of "Run Lola Run." Oh well. I mean, I suppose you could say it is, but... not really.) Though I will say I really liked Bubbles's line about mice Can-Can dancing, because it reminded me of an episode of Voltron.
