Reviews

[Stay Fetters · Rating 3 out of 5]

An adorable story of Bubbles trying to save all the animals as her sisters try to save the world.

[Georgina Warren · Rating 5 out of 5]

In this episode of the Powderpuff Girls, Bubbles gets a bit carried away with taking in every stray animal she finds. The Professor attempts to put his foot down and prevent Bubbles from filling his house with mice, birds, bugs and other creatures. But then Bubbles finds a young whale and she wants to keep him. Blossom and Buttercup are at their wits end but they try to help her find a space for the whale.

In summation, this story has a good lesson about letting animals be free in nature and not to keep bringing wild creatures into the house. A memorable and funny episode!
