Start Again [Meme] (Happy Birthday/Happy PPG 26th Anniversary!) (Powerpuff Girls)

This video was meant to be posted last year but it was never finished until now, so this birthday gift/anniversary thing is a year late but I adjusted the numbers so that it won't be lol. It might look a bit janky as i was attempting a program for the first time that not only I never used but I found out later on that it was never meant to be an editing program. The reason why the PPG Anniversary is also fused in with me and my friends birthday is because my birthday is on the same day as the anniversary so ye.

Personal note: Happy Birthday @irken-pony! I'm sorry it took so long to finish this video but in the end I manage to finish it for this year's birthday for us so hope you like it! Irken is owned by: @irken-pony Kayla is owned by me. PPG is owned by: Craig McCracken

Yesterday, May 27th, was the birthday of Jack McBrayer who is the English voice of our beloved protagonist Wander 🥳🥳🥳. Well, apart from dedicating himself to dubbing, Jack is also an actor and comedian working in series and movies (he has recently worked in a movie on Netflix called "Unglazed" as Steve Schwinn 😗).

Last year, as an anecdote Craig McCracken in a panel interviewed at Gallery Nucleus (full interview on their YouTube channel) said that when he found out that Jack McBrayer loved Foster Home, he met with him and Jack expressed his appreciation for wanting to work with them, even in a small role, talking to the comedian gave McCracken the feeling of meeting his character Wander in person since he considered Jack to be the nicest person you could ever meet 😊, and well this meeting helped him finish polishing our furry orange guy and well we know what Jack's response was when McCracken asked him to be Wander 😄😄😄.

So Wander is a reflection of Jack's personality. So we wish him a very Happy and blessed Birthday 😁💖🎂🎉🎉🎉

I want to express my gratitude to this wonderful animated series and congratulate you on your 10th anniversary. Yes, yes, you heard right!😉 Wander over Yonder, turns 10 YEARS OLD this year!❤🎂✨

This vast expanse of space, a fascinating world full of stars, beautiful planets and amazing characters, gives us a lot of smiles, causes intrigue, reveals the value of friendship and shows a lot of adventures with a special philosophy.

Craig McCracken, the author of the idea and creator of the animated series, created not just a show for the Disney studio, no, no. Something more.) ( Although of course it 's a shame for season 3 ) This extraordinary genius has given us all a whole new world, a whole new universe, which greatly inspires every fan to create their own creative path, helping this story to come to life again and live forever. And this makes me very happy as a creative person. Therefore, I sincerely congratulate our dear fandom on his Birthday and wish him to be always loved and exciting for all fans!!!❤🎂🥂

no words could describe how thankful I am for Craig McCracken's work, his unbelieveable creativity and creating the best cartoon ever aka "The Powerpuff Girls", all those amazing characters (both good and evil ones) and all those episodes that make me smile, laugh, cry and rethink what truly matters in life.

happy birthday to this genius.

So once again, the day is saved, thanks to the Buddy for March 31st!

Another gif! This time, I just alternated the colors of the hearts in the background on a lower layer, then assembled the gif with two frames.

Happy birthday, Craig McCracken. I liked The Powerpuff Girls when I was a kid. And of course, I had to hide from my friends I liked it, out of fear of looking like a sissy. And my friends liked it too, but pretended they didn't. I talked about it in my post for November 7th, boys being ashamed of being girly and whatnot.

It was a bit of a waste, because it was a good show. I know Lauren Faust would go on to make My Little Pony years later, but I really can't stand that one. Funny enough, now nobody cares about being girly for watching that. In fact, the problem seems to be on the opposite end of the spectrum.

But, I remember when MLP was just starting to get popular, and I kind of assumed it was a joke people were playing on me - like pretending to be into Rick Astley and Shrek.

Although I don't care if other people like the show. More power to them. Just feels funny that, back when I did enjoy cartoons like that, I had to pretend I didn't, and now it feels like the people who enjoy them are just pretending.

Happy 52nd birthday to Craig McCracken

Craig McCracken - further research

His Career and Work

In 1993, Craig was recruited by Hanna-Barbera Cartoons (now Cartoon Network Studios) to work as an art director on the series 2 Stupid Dogs, but as his first job in the animation industry, he was never really happy with how that show worked.

While McCracken was working at Hanna-Barbera, studio president Fred Seibert started a brand new project: an animation incubator with 48 brand new cartoons that are each about seven minutes long. What a Cartoon!, as it was known, inspired McCracken to continue working on his Whoopass Girls! idea from his work at CalArts. He recalled that the network could not market a show with the word "ass" in it, so two of his friends came up with name ‘The Powerpuff Girls’ as a substitute for the original title.

As a backstory note how it all started, in June 1991, McCracken was in his first year in the character animation program of CalArts and drew three girls with large eyes, visually inspired by the paintings of Margaret Keane on a small sheet of orange construction paper as a birthday card design for his brother.

His new work with a refined plot, "The Powerpuff Girls in: Meat Fuzzy Lumkins", premiered on February 20, 1995, on Cartoon Network's World Premiere Toons, along with its follow-up, "Crime 101", which aired on January 28, 1996. The first short to be picked up by the network was Tartakovsky's Dexter's Laboratory, which McCracken contributed to in the early seasons.

The fourth cartoon to greenlit a full series was McCracken's Powerpuff Girls. It premiered as a short in 1995 and debuted on November 18, 1998 as full half-hour episodes that was aired until its final episode on March 25, 2005. The Powerpuff Girls aired on Cartoon Network for six seasons, three specials, and a feature film, with the final episode airing on March 25, 2005. A total of 78 episodes were aired in addition to two shorts, a Christmas special, the film, a tenth anniversary special, and a special episode using CGI technology. Various spin-off media include an anime, three CD soundtracks, a home video collection, comic books, a series of video games, a 2016 reboot series, and an upcoming second reboot, as well as various licensed merchandise.

The series has been nominated for six Emmy Awards, nine Annie Awards, and a Kids' Choice Award during its run.

In 2002, McCracken also directed The Powerpuff Girls Movie, a prequel to his series. Although the film received generally positive reviews, unfortunately it was a box office failure.

Leaving The Powerpuff Girls after four seasons, McCracken focused on his next project; Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. He created this series with his wife Lauren Faust and Mike Moon and it premiered on Cartoon Network with the 90-minute television special "House of Bloo's" on August 13, 2004. The show also won Emmy and Annie awards and ran for six seasons, all directed by McCracken, ending on May 3, 2009.

He became the executive producer of The Cartoonstitute; a brand-new Cartoon Network showcase project, in April 2008. He left Cartoon Network in 2009 after 17 years of employment when the network began to emphasize on live-action and reality shows. In August 2013, he created Wander Over Yonder for Disney Television Animation and Disney Channel. Following the cancellation of Wander Over Yonder, McCracken pitched Disney a new show based on his 2009 comic strip The Kid from Planet Earth. The concept was later dismissed by Disney, and in 2017 he finally departed the company. After presenting his idea to Netflix, Kid Cosmic was selected as the working title. On February 2, 2021, the show made its debut, and it aired till February 3, 2022.

It marks McCracken's return to the superhero genre after The Powerpuff Girls and the first of his original works to include a serialized style. He pitched Netflix with 10 proposals in August 2021, however due to Netflix Animation's huge layoffs, he eventually left in April 2022.

On July 18, 2022, it was revealed that McCracken will make two reboots at Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe of the Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.

McCracken was also awarded the Winsor McCay Award in 2023 for his "unparalleled achievement and exceptional contributions to animation" at the Annie Awards ceremony.

Happy 11th Anniversary, Wander!” - WanderFan2000.

Happy anniversary to the first and second episodes of Wander Over Yonder, The Greatest and The Egg! Happy birthday, Wander and Sylvia, look how far you’ve come! 

I decided to go with the iconic sunset with these two, just like we see them running pass by while escaping Lord Hater, Commander Peepers and the Watchdogs in the show’s theme song.
