The Whoopass Stew: A Sticky Situation

The Whoopass Stew: A Sticky Situation is a student film and the first ever appearance of The Powerpuff Girls.

It was a project that Craig McCracken made while in CalArts college in 1992. He sent it off to Cartoon Network, who renamed it "Powerpuff Girls" as "Whoopass Girls" was an inappropriate name for the channel's target audience. McCracken had four shorts planned out, but only this one got finished due to Cartoon Network's lack of interest in the original concept.
