AceShowbiz - Cartoon Network has introduced the new cast of "The Powerpuff Girls" reboot. Via a picture posted on the show's official Facebook page, it's announced that Amanda Leighton would voice Blossom, Kristen Li would voice Bubbles, and Natalie Palamides would provide the voice of Buttercup.
The photo also reveals the first look at the revamped Powerpuff Girls. They still sport the same wide eyes and signature hairstyles as the ones they rocked on the original show that ran from 1998-2005. However, they now have thinner outlines and appear to be a bit rounder.
