The sad truth probably was it was one of the earliest hints CN over-valued themselves. I'm sure there were plenty good ratings for PPG on tv...problem being how many of them really liked it that much to want a movie?
I was one of them of course. Watched the channel religiously. Watched the girls all the time, never once thought about asking to see the movie. Because PPG and other originals just weren't my favorites.
It's kind of a shame all their hopes at the time hinged on this. But it all came full circle when Cartoon Network originals suffer from not being able to rack up dvd sales. Mostly the same issue, yeah we watched them, yeah we liked them, but not enough to go out of our way to spend money on.
