One big change will be the voices of the Powerpuff Girls. The original voices for Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup were provided by Catherine Cavadini, Tara Strong, and Elizabeth Daily. They went on Twitter yesterday to express their disappointment at not even being told about the reboot until the press release was issued. From Tara Strong, the voice of Bubbles:
