Irene Lew of World Screen said:ATLANTA, April 11: Cartoon Network Enterprises’ (CNE) hit brand, The Powerpuff Girls, celebrates its tenth anniversary this year with live shows and limited-edition merchandise, among other initiatives, to launch throughout the world in 2008.
In Asia Pacific, aside from the airing of a special movie-length episode in time for The Powerpuff Girls’ actual anniversary at the end of 2008, celebrations will also revolve around the theme of ten years of saving the world, with live shows planned for various markets. “Ten Years of Saving the World: The Powerpuff Generation,” a year-long initiative in the Philippines, kicked off in February with a search for real-life Powerpuff Girls. In addition, CNE is working with its various licensing agents, including Brand Elite for Greater China, FCI Brands in Southeast Asia, Wild Pumpkin in Australia, Double Impact in Taiwan and Asiana Licensing in Korea, as well as its own CNE offices in Japan and India, to launch limited-edition tenth anniversary merchandise during the latter part of 2008.
Celebrations are also underway in other parts of the world. In Europe, clothing chains H&M and Zara have come out with limited-edition apparel. In Spain and Italy, ten designers have been tapped to create ten different designs inspired by The Powerpuff Girls. Meanwhile, in the U.S., a limited-edition apparel line was also launched to celebrate the Girls’ anniversary.
“The Powerpuff Girls’ appeal throughout the world has endured since they were first created out of the mysterious Chemical X in 1997,” said Dulce Lim-Chen, the VP of Asia Pacific at Cartoon Network Enterprises. “We are very excited to be paying tribute to a property that is Cartoon Network’s proud contribution to enduring characters that are and will continue to be loved by generations.”
