     "The Powerpuff Girls Movie" follows the adventures of three super-powered
 sisters -- Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup -- who frequently ask to be excused

 created by Professor Utonium who has to teach them the awesome responsibility
 that goes along with having superpowers. Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup must
 join forces to save their home of Townsville from falling into the clutches of
 mutant monkey, Mojo Jojo.
     The Delta Express Powerpuff Girls aircraft features a movie-themed design
