Which studio took over production of The Powerpuff Girls after Hanna-Barbera Cartoons?

The story behind the answer

Cartoon Network Studios took over production of The Powerpuff Girls after Hanna-Barbera Cartoons.

The early seasons were produced by Hanna-Barbera Cartoons, the historic animation company associated with series such as The Flintstones, The Jetsons, and Scooby-Doo. Cartoon Network later shifted its original-animation operations into Cartoon Network Studios, and the later seasons of The Powerpuff Girls carried that studio credit.

This change does not mean that the show became a different series. Craig McCracken remained its creator, and the central characters, setting, and general creative identity continued across the original run. The studio transition mainly reflects changes in Cartoon Network’s production structure.

The title is also associated with several other adaptations and formats, including a theatrical film, a Japanese anime series, and a 2016 reboot. Those productions have different credits, so “Cartoon Network Studios” is specifically the answer for the later production of the original animated television series.
