The Looney Tunes and Powerpuff Girls Show is an American animated series created by Craig McCracken and Larry Doyle for Cartoon Network and Boomerang. It is a crossover to both the Looney Tunes shorts and the 1998-2005 iteration of The Powerpuff Girls. The series first aired on February 17, 2019 in Cartoon Network, and on August 11, 2019 in Boomerang. Most of the cast from the classic Powerpuff Girls returned to voice their respective characters, while Jeff Bergman, Dee Bradley Baker, and more provided the voices of the Looney Tunes characters.

Title sequence
The title sequence is set on the classic Looney Tunes rings, colored pink. First, the Looney Tunes characters rush out of the rings, eventually followed by the Powerpuff Girls villains. After the last of the villains go out, Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup then appear from the rings and push in the show's logo before flying off. All of this is set to a combined remix of the 1998-2005 Powerpuff Girls theme and "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down", arranged by James L. Venable and Thomas Chase.
The Looney Tunes rings as seen in the opening sequence.
Trivia
- Surprisingly, this series is well-received by both Powerpuff Girls fans and Looney Tunes fans compared to the 2016 PPG reboot, which was hatred by most classic PPG fans, due the following:
- The series being a great, hilarious blend of the 1998-2005 series and LT.
- The return of the opening narration at the start of episodes, the "day is saved" ending, and Catherine Cavadini, Tara Strong and E.G. Daily as Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup.
- The art and animation style is greatly identical to that of Cartoon Network shows like the original Powerpuff Girls series (seasons 5-6), The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Evil Con Carne (season 1), etc. As such, the Looney Tunes characters are slightly redesigned in a similar style to the classic PPG.
- The Road Runner's design in this show also bears a bit of a resemblance to Fred from the 1998-2005 Powerpuff Girls episode "I See A Funny Cartoon In Your Future", albeit with a smaller body.
- Some episodes from the classic Powerpuff Girls are wholly or partially remade for this series.
- Like Wabbit/New Looney Tunes, this show uses the sound effects heard in The Fairly OddParents and Phineas and Ferb.
- This series shares many things with Wabbit/New Looney Tunes:
- Daffy Duck has his 30s-40s screwball personality and is occasionally paired with Porky Pig, either as a foil or a sidekick, and just like in The Looney Tunes Show, he and Bugs are best friends instead of rivals.
- Bugs Bunny and Wile E. Coyote are next-door neighbors.
- Yosemite Sam is depicted as a crook, burglar, or other examples of criminals.
- Cecil Turtle appears as Mojo Jojo's sidekick.
- Wile E. Coyote in this series often shifts from trying to catch the Road Runner to trying to solve his problems with science.
