Silent Treatment (The Powerpuff Girls, 1998)

"Silent Treatment" is the first half of the twelfth episode in the fifth season of the Original Powerpuff Girls.

Plot
At the silent movie theater the girls reluctantly attend, a silent film star captures the Professor. The girls must go inside the black and white film (without sound) and bring him back to the real world (with sound), without their powers.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) The silent movie the girls watch at the start pays homage to the classic silent black and white films of the late ninteenth/early twenieth century before sound became a used element.
 * 2) The plot is very creative, as it has the girls going into a silent black and white motion picture to stop a film star when finding out that he kidnapped the Professor.
 * 3) The girls managing to fit a lot of police officers in the car they used to chase the silent movie star is very impressive, along with them holding onto the girls and flying around the world.
 * 4) Speaking of which, the music that plays when the girls get into the silent movie is great to listen to, pays homage as mentioned above and has a cool remix of their superhero intro.
 * 5) Great/Emotional Plot Twist: It turns out that silent movie star who captured the Professor & the person projecting the film are the same guy, and stopped making movies because of Talking Pictures talking over all because of his voice - making him kidnapping the Professor justified.
 * 6) Good Ending: When the silent movie star told the girls his backstory, they find him a new voice by swapping his with the Professor's, and it ends with everyone laughing at the Professor when he has the movie star's voice and the star himself thanks the girls.

Trivia

 * When the girls laugh, the sides of their heads look like Pac-Man.
