Product Description
From Amazon.com
Townsville's cutest cops curb a brutish invasion by a new breed of mop tops in Meet the Beat-Alls, a Powerpuff caper so packed with sly Beatles references it could sink a yellow submarine. Forget the under-15-minute running time--here, Bubbles, Buttercup, and Blossom face the longest and windingest road of their crime-fighting careers, as Mojo Jojo, Him, Princess, and Fuzzy Lumpkins band together to become the Beat-Alls--the Bad Four--a collective that soars to the pole position on the most-wanted charts, sending girls screaming. When the police cry out for help--they need somebody--the girls gather their gumption and go forward with a plan to break up the Beat-Alls: They enlist Moko, a white-costumed monkey with seductive Asian flair, to pose as a performance criminal. Fellow simian Mojo Jojo, who thought he was a loner, goes bananas; soon the other Beat-Alls beat it and the girls bust in and break the news that Mojo's going nowhere, man. All that spoofing doesn't sap the Powerpuffs of their superheroine steam: In "Bought & Scold" they square off against Princess, whose daddy throws down the cash to crown her mayor; in "Bubblevision" they're a sight for sore eyes, even though one of them looks dorky in her new glasses, as a giant ant rips through town; "Jewel of the Aisle" finds them firing away at a gem thief posing as cereal hero Lucky Captain Rabbit King; and demented lout Lenny's plan to possess the Powerpuffs comes crashing down in "Collect Her." If you're old enough to get the gags, allow the title episode to edge out other potential Powerpuff purchases, it's that clever. Otherwise, whatever propels you, rest assured that not one of these episodes will let you down or leave you flat. For children ages 7 and up. --Tammy La Gorce

Da Best PPG DVD B-sides Da Movy!
Sep 16 2003
Format:DVD
Dis is da best PPG Dvd. Although, it was recalled b-cuz da dvd-rom features were contaminated with a computer virus. Eye was never able 2 check out those features on my dvd-rom b-cuz da store Eye bought dis dvd from never recieved word that it was recalled. I love the Powerpuff Girls. They're Super-Shero's (Eye don't call females "Heros" b-cuz it starts w/ "He" and that's a term for males). HIM is my favorite villian. Eye was suprised 2 c dat he wasn't n da movy. Dis dvd has sum of da best PPG episodes eva. Dis is a must own 4 kidz and any PPG phan!
Somewhat solid collection of PPG episodes

Fortunately, "Meet The Beat Alls" is one of the few shining moments. When Mojo, Princess, Fuzzy Lumpkins, and Him realize that the four together can defeat the Powerpuff Girls, they team up to become the Beat Alls. Be it album covers, song titles, or that one person blamed for breaking up the Fabs, there are more Beatles references than one can throw a power punch at. I found forty-five. (Rating: 5)
"Bought And Scold" has Princess Morebucks having her father buy her Townsville. Once becoming mayor, the Princess makes crime legal, to the chagrin of the Powerpuff Girls, who become unemployed, so to speak. Quick, what's that saying, "hoist by her own petard"? Or is it she who lives by the decree... whatever. (Rating: 4)
"Bubblevision" has Bubbles having eye trouble and having to wear glasses. Unfortunately, Blossom and Buttercup laugh and make fun of her. Crimony, stop picking on Bubbles, girls! Pop culture reference: giant ants and the Blondie song "Attack Of The Giant Ants." (Rating: 5)
Inbetween are a few goodies, such as a brief clip of Mojo on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?, the Apples of Stereo video of "Signal In The Sky," featuring the Fish Balloon from "Uh Oh Dynamo," and a brief look at the making of the Powerpuff Girls movie with creator Craig McCracken and the talented ladies who do the Powerpuff voices. Cavadini, Strong, and Daily, keep it up! (Rating: 4)
"Jewel Of The Aisle" involves a thief who steals a jewel which he accidentally drops in a factory manufacturing Lucky Cap'n Rabbit King Nuggets, which are a cross between Trix and Captain Crunch. Guess who buys the cereal? There's an obvious reference to the Trix rabbit and the thief's failed attempts to get it is reminiscent of Warner Brothers cartoons. (Rating: 3.5)
"Collect Her" is an unpleasant piece of work about Lenny, an obsessed Powerpuff Girls memorabilia collector who discovers to his horror that his collection is--(gasp!) complete. What else is there to collect? I say unpleasant because of what some fan obsessions can lead to: can anyone say John Lennon or Rebecca Schaeffer? (Rating: 2)
The Time Squad bonus cartoon involves going back in time to help out Lincoln, who, fed up with being dubbed Honest Abe, becomes a jerk bent on playing practical jokes on people. Including these other cartoons is reminiscent of the B-feature after the A-picture done back in the 1930's. (Rating: 3)
Overall rating: (5+4+5+4+3.5+3+2+3)/8=3.6875, rounded up to 4.
All You Need is....The POWERPUFF GIRLS...oh, and LOVE too!

Awesome DVD!!! I love the Meet the Beat-Alls cartoon when I saw it on the air...totally cracked me up! Add in Mojo Jojo's commentary and you have a winner. We love Mojo Jojo! The mayor's commentary is also nice, as are the rest of the included episodes! I am an old crusty mom of 38 who enjoys watching this show with my 4 year old!

Good Shows.

a good time . . .
"Meet the Beat-Alls" presents the best argument that cartoons that entertain adults will entertain the kids, too. Read more

It's the Powerpuff Girls, what more needs to be said?
There is nothing "new and exciting" feature-wise on this dvd, but it provides several more episodes of great Powerpuff action, adventure, and humor. Read more

A little shaky compared to previous offerings
"Meet the Beat Alls" is a good collection of episodes, but it falls a bit flat in the content department. Read more

A laugh for any Beatles fan
This is definatlry a milestone in PPG history! Overflowing with Beatles jokes and parodies, this episode is one of the best Beatles satires I have seen. Read more
