Saving-The-World-Before-Bedtime -Why-The-Powerpuff-Girls-Feminism-Still-Matters- -Bitch 4/29/2016 Saving the World Before Bedtime: Why The Powerpuff Girls' Feminism Still Matters | Bitch Media SCREEN (/SCREEN) POWERPUFF GIRLS (/TOPIC/POWERPUFF­GIRLS) SAVING THE WORLD BEFORE BEDTIME: WHY THE POWERPUFF GIRLS' FEMINISM STILL MATTERS by Hannah Steinkopf-Frank (/profile/hannah-steinkopf-frank) Published on April 15, 2016 at 9:01am In a recent episode of the new (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUXprMizqIs) The Powerpuff Girls reboot, the villainous Manboy (“all the power of a man in the body of a boy”) wreaks havoc on Townsville. Manboy’s power? A magical beard that can throw a manly punch. While he’s a cartoon villain, it’s easy to see his connection to real-world villains: anti-feminists who fear the end of men. Buttercup, the “tough” Powerpuff Girl, knocks out Manboy after he calls her “princess,” but not before he is able to get in the last word: “You throw like a girl.” https://bitchmedia.org/article/powerpuff-girls-reboot-why-their-feminism-mattered-so-much-me 1/8 4/29/2016 Saving the World Before Bedtime: Why The Powerpuff Girls' Feminism Still Matters | Bitch Media The message of The Powerpuff Girls, though, is that throwing like a girl is actually empowering. The show, which began in 1998, centers around Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup, three super-strong sisters who were accidentally created in a lab and now fight crime while still getting to bed on time. During its initial six- season run, the show proved that kicking ass could be paired with “sugar, spice, and everything nice,” the ingredients their father, Professor Utonium, used to create them. This sweetness was accidently mixed with Chemical X, the secret ingredient that not only gives them powers, but also gives them their unique personalities and imperfections, what makes them human and relatable. The villainous Manboy. Does he look suspiciously like anyone you know? The show has recently returned to Cartoon Network, but unlike many other recent reboots (Fuller House (https://bitchmedia.org/article/queerer-house-queer- perspective-full-house-dj-tanner-crush-netflix), anyone?), it’s more than just https://bitchmedia.org/article/powerpuff-girls-reboot-why-their-feminism-mattered-so-much-me 2/8 4/29/2016 Saving the World Before Bedtime: Why The Powerpuff Girls' Feminism Still Matters | Bitch Media monetized childhood nostalgia. The sisters have aged, and the show clearly exists in 2016. The girls and townspeople have smartphones, and there is an app to find monsters for hire in your area. Despite the modern updates—including a great theme song by Seattle band Tacocat (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbvC9Xtpm_8)—the core ideas of the show are intact. More than just besting their enemies, the girls prove they can also defy the stereotypes placed on them by the older population of Townsville and its mostly male authority figures. Even in the first episode of the original series, the girls help the police (who are described as “brutish”) when they are unable to solve a crime. To simplify the show as a response to ‘90s mainstream girl power ignores the more nuanced ways that it changed animation and influenced viewers. "Who's Got the Power?" | Music Video | Powerpuff Girls | Cartoon ... The humor of The Powerpuff Girls paved the way for the current wave of prestige cartoons with developed female characters and cross-generational appeal. Louise Belcher, the cunning, youngest sibling on Bob’s Burgers https://bitchmedia.org/article/powerpuff-girls-reboot-why-their-feminism-mattered-so-much-me 3/8 4/29/2016 Saving the World Before Bedtime: Why The Powerpuff Girls' Feminism Still Matters | Bitch Media (http://bitchmagazine.org/post/tina-belcher-sexual-revolutionary-how-bobs-burgers-is- changing-the-way-tv-depicts-teen-sexualit), could be friends with Buttercup. It’s also easy to draw a connection to Steven Universe, which centers around the Crystal Gems, alien warriors who take feminine forms and also “always save the day.” Read This Next: Tina Belcher's Sexual Revolution (https://bitchmedia.org/post/tina-belcher-sexual-revolutionary-how-bobs-burgers-is-changing-the- way-tv-depicts-teen-sexualit) Read This Next: A Joke in the New Powerpuff Girls Reboot is a Sucker Punch to Trans Women (https://bitchmedia.org/article/joke-powerpuff-girls-reboot- suckerpunch-trans-women) While there was nothing like these other shows when I was growing up, I was the perfect age to be a Powerpuff Girls fan. The show went on air when I was four, and whenever I saw its signature bursting-heart background, I knew it was time to enter a world where girls could be whoever and do whatever they wanted, superpowers or not. While contemporaneous shows like Pepper Ann and The Wild Thornberrys featured female characters as leads, those characters were still subservient to their (mostly male) authority figures, be them teachers, parents, or crushes. I was in awe of the Powerpuff Girls’ agency. They literally floated through a world that they created, one in which it made sense that elementary school students could be superheroes. The girls’ archenemies, from Mojo Jojo (the monkey villain with a humanizing origin story) to the Rowdyruff Boys (the sisters’ evil male counterparts), were foils to this equitable, peaceful universe. These villains failed to defeat the Powerpuff Girls because they underestimated them based on their age and gender. The girls, in matching dresses and with weaknesses for puppies, unicorns, and other cute things, were a femme twist on the traditional male superhero. This agency also led to older men wanting to control them. These were the true “bad guys” of the show: not the villains who wanted to destroy the Powerpuff Girls, but the ones who wanted to take their girl power and sexualize it, commercialize it, or put it in a box, literally. In the episode “Knock It Off,” Dick https://bitchmedia.org/article/powerpuff-girls-reboot-why-their-feminism-mattered-so-much-me 4/8 4/29/2016 Saving the World Before Bedtime: Why The Powerpuff Girls' Feminism Still Matters | Bitch Media Hardly, a skeezy college friend of the Professor’s, tries to market the Powerpuff Girls. Innocently, they give him Chemical X to produce cheap, knockoff Powerpuff Girls. Hardly’s “Powerpuff Girls Xtreme,” mass-produced version of Buttercup can only say “girl power.” The real Buttercup is taken aback by this appropriation of her image. She embodies girl power; she doesn’t need to prove it. The Powerpuff Girls battle materialism—and evil knock-off versions of themselves—in the episode "Knock it Off" “Collect Her” is another episode with a creepy male antagonist: Obsessive comic book geek Lenny Baxter kidnaps the sisters to complete his collection of Powerpuff Girls paraphernalia. In his man cave, they become objectified trophies. Baxter’s character is a critique of cultural obsessions with young girls and shows the consequences of idolizing the Powerpuff Girls. Sure, they always save the day, but they are still humans. Watching the new episodes, I still feel attached to the sisters, but I also https://bitchmedia.org/article/powerpuff-girls-reboot-why-their-feminism-mattered-so-much-me 5/8 4/29/2016 Saving the World Before Bedtime: Why The Powerpuff Girls' Feminism Still Matters | Bitch Media appreciate how they have developed. There is also new tension between them that was almost entirely absent from the original run. In the Manboy episode, Buttercup accidently injures Bubbles and is forced to deal with how her anger affects people. In another episode, she feels alienated from her sister and joins the Derbytantes, a badass roller derby-esque skater team. It’s these situations that executive producer Nick Jennings said were essential to making the new Powerpuff Girls people you would want to hang out with. "By developing them as stronger personalities and understanding them more as characters, we were able to write stories that are more relatable to people,” he told the L.A. Times (http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/herocomplex/la-et-hc- powerpuff-girls-20160401-story.html). Of course, these plots can quickly cross a line. The first episode of the reboot begins with the sisters bonding over their crushes on boy band Sensitive Thugz. While the scene could be seen as perpetuating stereotypes of young female fandom, when it’s superheroes having crushes, it feels almost refreshing. The show has also invited viewers into the Powerpuff universe. A “Powerpuff Yourself” website lets you create a meme of yourself as a Powerpuff. I was amazed to see so many of my friends change their icons on social media platforms to their Powerpuff selves. I changed my Twitter photo to my glasses- wearing, camera-wielding Powerpuff. Now, I can fight the forces of evil by tweeting and discussing the issues that I care about most. I think my six-year- old self would be proud.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ‘SEE IT BIG! ACTION’ FEATURES MORE THAN 30 ACTION MOVIE FAVORITES ON THE BIG SCREEN April 19–July 7, 2019 Astoria, New York, April 16, 2019—Museum of the Moving Image presents See It Big! Action, a major screening series featuring more than 30 action films, from April 19 through July 7, 2019. Programmed by Curator of Film Eric Hynes and Reverse Shot editors Jeff Reichert and Michael Koresky, the series opens with cinematic swashbucklers and continues with movies from around the world featuring white- knuckle chase sequences and thrilling stuntwork. It highlights work from some of the form's greatest practitioners, including John Woo, Michael Mann, Steven Spielberg, Akira Kurosawa, Kathryn Bigelow, Jackie Chan, and much more. As the curators note, “In a sense, all movies are ’action’ movies; cinema is movement and light, after all. Since nearly the very beginning, spectacle and stunt work have been essential parts of the form. There is nothing quite like watching physical feats, pulse-pounding drama, and epic confrontations on a large screen alongside other astonished moviegoers. See It Big! Action offers up some of our favorites of the genre.” In all, 32 films will be shown, many of them in 35mm prints. Among the highlights are two classic Technicolor swashbucklers, Michael Curtiz’s The Adventures of Robin Hood and Jacques Tourneur’s Anne of the Indies (April 20); Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai (April 21); back-to-back screenings of Mad Max: Fury Road and Aliens on Mother’s Day (May 12); all six Mission: Impossible films

  • Abandoning the Girl Show Ghetto: Introducing and Incorporating Care Ethics to Girls' Animation
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Adam C. Hughes for the degree of Master of Arts in Applied Ethics presented on July 15, 2013 Title: Abandoning the Girl's Show Ghetto: Introducing and Incorporating Care Ethics to Girls' Animation Abstract approved: Flora L. Leibowitz In regards to animation created and aimed at them, girls are largely underserved and underrepresented. This underrepresentation leads to decreased socio-cultural capital in adulthood and a feeling of sacrificed childhood. Although there is a common consensus in entertainment toward girls as a potentially deficient audience, philosophy and applied ethics open up routes for an alternative explanation of why cartoons directed at young girls might not succeed. These alternative explanations are fueled by an ethical contract wherein producers and content creators respect and understand their audience in return for the privilege of entertaining. ©Copyright by Adam C.

JASON MEWES (Jay) Jason Mewes most recently made his directorial debut on MADNESS IN THE METHOD, which was released in August 2019. With cult-fans following his controversial antics, Mewes has captured audiences with his rebellious banter against his unspoken other half and longtime friend, Kevin Smith. Since the beginning of the duo’s offbeat work together, Mewes and Smith have continued to build on their beloved character-driven roles from the Jay and Silent Bob series. It’s been over a decade since fans last saw the duo in live- action, but they’re back along with a star-studded cast in the upcoming comedy film, JAY AND SILENT BOB REBOOT.

  • Animating Race the Production and Ascription of Asian-Ness in the Animation of Avatar: the Last Airbender and the Legend of Korra
    Animating Race The Production and Ascription of Asian-ness in the Animation of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra Francis M. Agnoli Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) University of East Anglia School of Art, Media and American Studies April 2020 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. 2 Abstract How and by what means is race ascribed to an animated body? My thesis addresses this question by reconstructing the production narratives around the Nickelodeon television series Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005-08) and its sequel The Legend of Korra (2012-14). Through original and preexisting interviews, I determine how the ascription of race occurs at every stage of production. To do so, I triangulate theories related to race as a social construct, using a definition composed by sociologists Matthew Desmond and Mustafa Emirbayer; re-presentations of the body in animation, drawing upon art historian Nicholas Mirzoeff’s concept of the bodyscape; and the cinematic voice as described by film scholars Rick Altman, Mary Ann Doane, Michel Chion, and Gianluca Sergi. Even production processes not directly related to character design, animation, or performance contribute to the ascription of race. Therefore, this thesis also references writings on culture, such as those on cultural appropriation, cultural flow/traffic, and transculturation; fantasy, an impulse to break away from mimesis; and realist animation conventions, which relates to Paul Wells’ concept of hyper-realism.

  • Third Wave Feminism and the Powerpuff Girls Evie Kendal Introduction the Popular Children's
    There’s No One Perfect Girl: Third Wave Feminism and The Powerpuff Girls Evie Kendal Introduction The popular children’s television series, The Powerpuff Girls, was originally conceived by animator Craig McCracken under the name The Whoopass Girls in 1992.1 Following a name change and three alternative pilot epi- sodes, the series was picked up by the Cartoon Network and ran from 1995 through to 2005. During this time the show won several awards, including two Primetime Emmy awards for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation (2000 and 2005), and two Annie awards for Production Design and Musical Score in an Animated Series (2001).2 In this article I will be exploring The Powerpuff Girls from a feminist perspective, focusing on what is unique about this series and where it is positioned in popular media culture, before addressing some of the common criticisms of the show and identifying some of its major strengths. It will be my contention that The Powerpuff Girls embraces third-wave feminist ideology, with its focus on “Girl Power” and consumerism, while also abandoning the more individual- istic aspects of this brand of feminism by exploring the meaning of sister- hood and female empowerment through community. COLLOQUY text theory critique 24 (2012). © Monash University. www.arts.monash.edu.au/ecps/colloquy/journal/issue024/kendal.pdf ░ Third Wave Feminism and The Powerpuff Girls 235 Background: The relationship between the second and third waves of feminism According to Lise Shapiro Sanders, one of the major distinguishing features of third-wave feminism is the privileging of the “diversity of women’s experi- ence over the similarities amongst women,” with a particular focus on ad- dressing the inadequacies of second-wave ideology to deal with women’s experience beyond its “white, middle-class biases.”3 In this way, women of colour and those from the developing world were recruited into the fight for equality, while at the same time a radical reclamation of the symbols asso- ciated with traditional femininity was initiated.
