The Powerpuff Girls premiered on Cartoon Network in 1998, created by Craig McCracken, and follows Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup protecting the fictional city of Townsville. Many episodes begin with a narrator presenting the city before a villain causes chaos. In the Brazilian Portuguese dub, that opening became 'a cidade de Townsville,' a line many fans heard throughout childhood. Clips of the narration now circulate on soundboards and in edits, reused whenever a creator wants a familiar city introduction with instant cartoon nostalgia.
