Cartoon Network has revealed the new character designs for Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup in the newly reimagined The Powerpuff Girls series, along with their new voice actors.

The visual designs for the characters are pretty similar to their looks from the original series. The voice cast is all-new, featuring Amanda Leighton as Blossom, Kristen Li as Bubbles, and Natalie Palamides as Buttercup. Tom Kenny will return to reprise his original series role as the Mayor and the Narrator.

The new voices of the Powerpuff girls greeted fans with individual video messages, embedded below:

The reimagined Powerpuff Girls will follow the three superhero girls as they juggle school and saving the world before bedtime. The series is slated for a 2016 global launch and will include a brand-new television series, produced by Cartoon Network Studios, and a full licensing program that will roll out across all domestic and international regions. The announcement was made today by Cartoon Network as part of the 2015 Licensing Expo in Las Vegas.

The new series will be executive produced by Nick Jennings, who won an Emmy Award for his work on Cartoon Network's Adventure Time, and Bob Boyle, creator of Wow! Wow! Wubbzy!, will co-executive produce.

"It has been wonderful to see this new show team bring such passion and positive creative spirit to this iconic property," said Chief Content Officer, Rob Sorcher. "We know that fans of every age will appreciate this new take on saving the world before bedtime."

The Powerpuff Girls is one of Cartoon Network's most popular original series. Created by Craig McCracken, the series premiered in 1996 and earned two Emmy Awards along with five nominations and numerous animation honors throughout its 78-episode run. The series also spawned a feature film with Warner Bros. Pictures in 2002.
