The Powerpuff Girls series will be launched though CCTV's
animation block Cartoon City on channels 1 and 7. The Powerpuff
Girls is the first foreign animation in this animation block. The
programme begins its exclusive year long run on 10 May , 2003. CCTV
reaches 90 per cent of the 1.3 billion population of China. CCTV
will dub and edit The Powerpuff Girls into 22-minute episodes
in order to better suit the language patterns of Chinese children.
President and MD Turner Broadcasting System Asia Pacific Steve
Marcopoto said, " We are thrilled to be taking this significant
step into the Chinese market through our partnership with CCTV.
It is a meaningful expansion of our overall cooperation within the
PRC, With a combination of Cartoon Network's globally-popular programming
and CCTV's local expertise, we hope that the Powerpuff Girls will
become as well-loved in China as they are by children around the
world."
The Powerpuff Girls is an original half-hour per episode
animated series that follows the adventures of three super-powered
sisters-Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup-who frequently ask to be
excused from school so they can save the world. While preparing
his concoction of sugar & spice and everything nice, Professor Utonium
accidentally added a mysterious fourth ingredient, Chemical X. This
fateful addition led to the creation of three sugar coated superheroes,
otherwise known as The Powerpuff Girls, whose mission in
life alters between fighting crime and winning at hopscotch.
