Trivia about The Powerpuff Girls

Along with McCracken's other short films, "A Sticky Situation" was shown at Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation in 1994.

One of his animation instructors, Becky Bristow, was impressed and convinced McCracken to pitch the idea to her friend Linda Simensky, who was serving as the director of development for Nickelodeon at the time.

As McCracken began his third year at CalArts, his friend Paul Rudish hired him to become the art director for 2 Stupid Dogs at Hanna-Barbera, which became McCracken's first job in the animation industry.

Wanting to create a superhero short film for his sophomore year, he incorporated superpowers into the girls and used them instead of a Mexican wrestler character he had previously created, named El Fuego.

The concept was a superhero parody inspired by the television series Batman (1966).

However, only one short film, "A Sticky Situation", was completed.
