Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup are heading to the big screen. A new “Powerpuff Girls” movie is in development at Warner Bros. Animation, the company shared Monday at Annecy International Animation Film Festival, which is currently talking place in France.

Sources at the studio confirm a “Powerpuff Girls” film is in the works but stress there’s no deal in place.

Given the lack of a greenlight at the moment, plot details for the upcoming adventure haven’t been announced. Based on the Cartoon Network series, “Powerpuff Girls” revolves around three young girls with superpowers. They were created by Professor Utonium by using a mixture of sugar, spice and everything nice. As the lore goes, he accidentally spilled a mysterious ingredient called Chemical X in to the mixture and thus, the Powerpuff Girls were born. The trio, who has “dedicated their lives to fighting crime and the forces of evil,” use their powers to take down baddies in the city of Townsville.
