all I can say to Craig is this, just to sound like a fanboy...Make more Rowdyruff episodes...and make them GOOD episodes! Granted almost all of the episodes with the RRBs in them were good...but Custody Battle was another story.

[Blessranger]

Maybe the PPGs will have something new... their change of hairstyle! If there was another episode where Bubbles had her hair down, I would be surprised! The same goes for Blossom's hair being no longer a ponytail and Buttercup's hair being aerodynamic styled!

[GhostBloss]

huh? why would their hairstyles change?

Quote: The Powerpuff Girls TV series will be brought back on November 2013. After it will be brought back on November 2013, 221 new episodes will be produced By Tim Box Animation and Cartoon Network Studios, and it will retain the improved hand-drawn character designs, hand-drawn and digital background art, music, a more polished cast and crew, and computer aided animation as those in the Powerpuff Girls Movie and in Seasons 5 through 6, and will this time be in 16x9 Widescreen.

The First ten New Episodes of The Powerpuff Girls Series will be a 220-minute, 10-episode miniseries, The Powerpuff Girls Returns, which will be animated in an aspect ratio of 2.35:1 and puts The Powerpuff Girls, their friends and their enemies in a 12-week vacation on a large island populated with Realistic-Looking Dinosaurs and Non-Dinosaurs from Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous Periods, for example, The Rowdyruff Boys gives a super punch thats sends Blossom and Bubbles flying into a deeper part of the island's forest, where they were attacked and threatened by a trio of Tyrannosaurus Rexes and screams. Blossom and Bubbles' cries for help alert Buttercup, who leaves the fight between her and the Rowdyruff Boys and rushes to their aid. Together, they fight the three T-Rexes, and after a brawl that goes out of control and rampages through the jungles and the rocks and terrain of Paleoisla, The Girls defeated the three Tyrannosaurs. The Dinosaurs and non-dinosaurs from 228 to 65 Million Years Ago will be design by such artists as Ricardo Delgado, Mark Hallett, William Stout, David Krentz, etc. and will also be similar to the newest scientific infomation, research and Reconstructions. Those Artists will also consulted to the design of the Powerpuff Girls Returns and its dinosaurs. This Time, The Powerpuff Girls Returns and 211 other new episodes of the Powerpuff Girls Movie will be mixed at Skywalker Sound and Park Road Post. There will also be a 4-disc Collector's Edition of The Powerpuff Girls Returns miniseries, with 2.35:1 direct-to-digital Anamorphic transfer, Dolby EX 5.1 and DTS ES 6.1 Enhanced Home Theater Mixes and 2 discs and 42 hours of content on 4 DVDs, Blu-Rays, and HD-DVD from Tim Box Home Entertainment. There will be no cavemen in the Powerpuff Girls Returns and the landscapes of Paleoisla would be just like the Mesozoic World from 228 to 65 million years ago that we imagined today. So what will you think of that?

You better see the 10-episode Miniseries, The Powerpuff Girls Returns and its dinosaurs on November 2013! Although they are hand-drawn, they will match the newest Scientific Research Reconstructions and info! The Tyrannosaurus will be depicted as having the correct two fingers and leaning forward and running parrell to the ground using its tail as a counterbalance. The Roars, Growls and Calls of the Dinosaurs and Non-Dinosaurs, which are the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous animals in the Powerpuff Girls Returns will be provided by Skywalker Sound and Park Road Post. Even Dilophosaurus will be changed back to its true size and will lack the posion its spits and and will also lacks the frill. And The Powerpuff Girls Returns will be broadcast in 16x9 Widescreen HDTV anamorphic format with the 2.35:1 aspect ratio letterboxed within the 1.78:1 frame. And Guys, Dinosaurs and especially those in The Powerpuff Girls Returns miniseries are intelligent, warm-blooded, active, horizontally-posed animals. So what will you think if the dinosaurs will be depicted as marvelous living animals that do not kill or must not be killed, and friends of the PPG cast, as well as terrifying monsters for some predatory theropod dinosaurs?

Hey Guys! Check this link and info about the Fell Beast:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fell_beast

Or Read it Here:

Quote: In J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, fell beast is the author's description of the huge flying carrion-eating pterosaur-like creatures on which the Nazgûl rode after being unhorsed at the Ford of Bruinen. The creatures are especially prominent during the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, where the Witch-king of Angmar, the Lord of the Nazgûl, rides his in battle against King Théoden of Rohan.

Tolkien used "fell beast" as a description and not an actual name. ("Fell" in this sense is an archaic English word meaning "cruel", "evil" or "lethal".) However, since this creature lacks any real name, "Fell Beast" is often used to refer to it.

In book V, chapter 6 of The Lord of the Rings, Tolkien describes it thus:

"...it was a winged creature: if bird, then greater than all other birds, and it was naked, and neither quill nor feather did it bear, and its vast pinions were as webs of hide between horned fingers; and it stank. A creature of an older world maybe it was...."[1]

A few paragraphs later it is said to attack with "beak and claw".[1] It and the others that served the Nazgûl as steeds were taken by Sauron who raised them in such a way that they grew to an unnatural size.


The fell beast's wing structure, as described, resembles a bat's more than a pterodactyl's (shown)This most closely resembles a very large hairless pterosaur-like animal, although their wing structure is more like that of a bat. Tolkien once wrote that he "did not intend the steed of the Witch-king to be what is now called a 'pterodactyl'", while acknowledging that it was "obviously ... pterodactylic and owes much" to the "new ... mythology of the 'Prehistoric'", and might even be "a last survivor of older geological eras."[2] The differences in the beast's anatomy from pterodactyls or any other species of pterosaur makes it doubtful he intended the fell beast to belong to any group of real creatures.

Some have called the fell beasts dragons.[3] However, dragons are already well established in Tolkien's writings (see Smaug, Glaurung and Ancalagon). It is likely that, had Tolkien intended fell beasts to be considered dragons, he would have just called them dragons.

Despite each of these theories, any claims as to the nature, anatomy, and physiology of fell beasts is based on speculation. It is possible to approximate what these beasts might have looked like, but real-world analogies are ultimately insufficient to describe them.

In The Fellowship of the Ring, at the River Anduin, Legolas shoots one down in the night as it approaches them.

In The Two Towers Gollum sees the Witch-king and his mount while guiding Frodo and Sam, and refers to the Ringwraiths as "Wraiths on wings".

In The Return of the King the Witch-king shot a black dart at Snowmane, the steed of king Théoden, while riding upon a fell beast. The horse crushed Théoden as it fell. Dernhelm (who soon revealed herself as Éowyn) defended the dying Théoden by standing between the Witch-king and the King of Rohan. She killed the fell beast, then challenged and defeated the Witch-king with the help of Meriadoc Brandybuck.

All of the remaining Nazgûl were mounted on fell beasts at the Battle of the Morannon, and were suddenly dispatched to Orodruin by Sauron in response to the imminent destruction of the One Ring. The beasts are presumably destroyed along with their riders in the resulting eruption of Mount Doom.

1978 cartoon
In Ralph Bakshi's 1978 animated version of The Lord of the Rings, one of the Nazgûl (possibly the Witch-king, for he carries a mace), is shown riding a fell beast. However, Bakshi's film only covers events up to the Battle of the Hornburg, so that is the last we see of the fell beasts and their riders.


[edit] 1980 TV special
In the Rankin-Bass 1980 animated version of The Return of the King, the Nazgûl ride winged horses, although the Nazgûl Lord does ride a bird like creature when he confronts Éowyn.


[edit] Live-action movies

The Witch-king's fell beast from Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the KingIn Peter Jackson's film trilogy based on The Lord of the Rings, the fell beasts are depicted as being pterosaur-like creatures, and all nine Nazgûl are visible onscreen riding them.

Their features in the movies are in most cases similar to that of actual species of pterosaur with three major differences: The bone structure of their wings, which are much more bat-like than pterosaur-like; their size, as no known pterosaur was as large as the fell beasts in the movies;.[citation needed] and their facial anatomy, as they lack the elongated jaw of pterosaurs. These differences are likely attributable simply to the fact that it had to serve as a believable mount for the Nazgûl and the production team wanted the fell beasts to be physically capable of flying if they actually existed.[citation needed] This necessitated having the wingspan of a Jumbo Jet, or approximately 65 meters. The decision to use a bat-like wing structure was based on the fact that the pterosaurs wing support (an extremely long fourth finger) would be far too weak to support the weight of a wing that large, as the largest known pterosaurs believed to be capable of flight have been found with wingspans of up to only 18 meters..[citation needed]

The film version of the beasts differ from Tolkien's description in that they do not have beaks.

In the audio commentary, it is rather definitively stated that the design of the fell beasts was based largely on illustrations by the popular Middle-earth artist John Howe.

Although the mistake is never made in the films, the actors on the commentary tracks sometimes refer to the fell beast as a Nazgûl; this is incorrect. The fell beast is the creature that the nine Nazgûl ride, and the mistake probably arose because fell beasts are always seen with a Nazgûl atop them, and because ambiguous references are made to them that could apply either to the Ringwraith or the Fell Beast. Billy Boyd does refer to them correctly.

Some of the random encounters found in various early Final Fantasy games bear a striking resemblance to the fell beasts. This is likely due to the fact that Yoshitaka Amano, the character designer of the first six games, is a fan of Tolkien. The design was used for the Roc-class Fiends in Final Fantasy X & Final Fantasy X-2.

The Wyvern Rider and Wyvern Lord classes in the Fire Emblem series of games resemble the fell beast as well.

The letherblaka of Christopher Paolini's Inherance and the briefly mentioned Featherless birds of C.S.Lewis' Last Battle (the last book of the Chronicles of Narnia)also resemble the fell beasts.


In Dexter's Odyssey, there will be a type of fell beast called Vastatodon (meaning Ravager Tooth) which will resemble, modeled after, and will be the same as the fell beast in the Lord of the Rings Films (2001-2003) and John Howe's Illustrations of The Fell Beast execpt for that the Vastatodon has long, five-fingered arms, a bulkier T-Rex-like body and long legs to support the creature's bulk. So what did you think of my depiction of The Vastatodon and the Fell Beast Info?

The link doesn't work. Please re-post it.

About the new half hour special: Will this just be a promotional thing to introduce PPGZ or will it be an original PPG revival? I do not really care for most of what is on CN right now, but a PPG revival might get me back into watching it.

Puffuncle (from that other site) wrote: It's a special episode to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the show. It's being made now and will air next November.

I guess all I can say for that is, Craig better cancel Fosters...I know that it's only ment for the little kids, but so was the Powerpuffs, but some of us thought the PPGs were something more, they were actually a cult hit...Fosters is not!

Children may be the core demographic, but it doesn't mean that it doesn't transcend to other ones. With subtle dialogue such as:

Buttercup: "This is the Professor - he's sort of our dad. He created us in his laboratory."
Professor: "Yes, uh - well, it was sort of an accident..."
Robin: "That's okay, Professor - I was an accident, too!"

I have a hard time believing McCracken didn't have adults in mind when he did the show.

Anyway, more PPG is always good. The overall quality of the show and the fan in me did kind of falter as time went on, but it'll always have a place in my heart.
