		McCracken’s newest effort is the witty Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends, a foray into the world of abandoned imaginary friends.

		The book could have used an editorial revision, though - some of the writing is hurried and doesn't make sense, and the final scene with the Mayor has a picture that left my daughter thinking that the Powerpuff Girls were dead rather than merely dumbfounded.
		Fans of the show and fans of cool artwork will agree this is a must have for the powerpuff girl collector.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: The Powerpuff Girls Movie (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		As an art-school student, creator Craig McCracken — who got his start on Cartoon Network's excellent "Dexter's Laboratory" — said he wanted to do a superhero cartoon but didn't want to build it around the usual muscle-bound, man-of-steel hero type.
		On board is a commentary track by creator/director McCracken and art director Mike Moon; the two seem to get a kick out of chatting about how hard (or how easy) the various scenes were to animate, and they laugh over the effects they created that sometimes ended up used in completely different scenes.
		McCracken also points out in-jokes and references that might escape the casual viewer — the opening scene with the Professor in the supermarket, for example, is a nod to The Big Lebowski.

	Cold, Hard Flash: Reflections on 2004
		My closing thought for this year centers on a quote from Foster's Craig McCracken, who said the following in an August 2004 LA Times interview....
		Now, Craig, the 'Powerpuff Girls' creator, hastily puts the foreign studios out to pasture, but it's hard to imagine the future of US Flash TV animation without overseas partners.
		Macromedia's vector production suite was supposed to deliver new budgetary lows, but instead faster retakes, better acting and higher quality emerged as top-line benefits, thanks to Craig and his crew over at Cartoon Network.

	Reviews, Heroes and Villains, Songs Inspired by The Powerpuff Girls
		Creator Craig McCracken has enough grasp of the delicate line between homage and satire to rise above the kid-appeal merchandising that's plastered the girls' anime-a-go-go faces everywhere you turn.
		McCracken's "targets" are the things he clearly, undoubtedly loves--Japanese design sense, Batman (the TV one), and Krofft Superstars.
		In McCracken's introduction, he simply states, "I love these bands, and listening to their music inspires my own work." Fair enough--since it’s people like Shonen Knife (well, duh), Cornelius, and PPG end-theme authors Bis, all of whom marry Hello Kitty cuteness with a genuinely inventive take on Western influences.

	The Austin Chronicle: Screens: TV Eye
		With Imaginary Friends, not only does McCracken move to a longer format and fleshier characters, but he starts from script, instead of storyboards, to create each 22-minute episode.
		Like McCracken's Powerpuff Girls, Imaginary Friends tweaks the notion of children as obedient creatures chasing butterflies or angelically dozing at their mother's breast.
		McCracken's kids have scabs, dirty hands, messy hair, are sometimes naughty, but eager to be good – if it's not too boring.

		Faust and McCracken had a booth for Lauren's new cartoon venture entitled Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls, an idea of taking the planets and giving them characters, each with their own personalities that people can choose from.
		I also spoke to Craig about Foster's and animation in general and got an autographed book from him as a gift entitled Wander over Yonder, a sketchbook he did as a personal project away from his job to sketch whatever he wanted.
		I have to say McCracken is the most tired person I have ever seen in my life.

		I remember this Nora Dunn skit on "Saturday Night Live" where she plays a French chanteuse draped over a piano singing "Send in the Clowns" translated into French and then back into English again.
		Craig McCracken's The Powerpuff Girls Movie (based on his Cartoon Network series "Powerpuff Girls", natch) is American animation translated into Japanese animé back into American animation: similarly incomprehensible, not quite so funny, and it overstays its welcome, too.
		Professor Utonium (voiced by Tom Kane), shocked by the venality of his metropolis of Townsville, endeavours to create three little girls that he can raise with old-fashioned values--the ingredients, of course, sugar and spice and everything nice.

		Oh no. They were created by a talented up-and-coming animator named Craig McCracken because, well, he thought the idea of little girls with extreme superpowers was funny.
		Still, it would have been nice to have director Craig McCracken explain why these scenes ended up being cut in the first place.
		This was quite possibly my favourite movie of the year, and this shabby treatment on DVD is not only a slap in the face to the hardcore fans, but also to Mr.

		The chaos that Craig McCracken and Genndy Tartakovsky, the film's creators, beat into our skulls is enough to liquify any attention span.
		I, for one, couldn't be happier; I look forward to the next round of sensory pummeling that McCracken and Tartakovsky have in store.
		The movie obviously isn't for everyone; it certainly isn't recommended for parents wary at the prospect of feeding both their kids and themselves the visual equivalent of ten boxes of Cocoa Puffs.
