Summary
- Original Powerpuff Girls voice actors reunited publicly after Kane's stroke.
- Tom Kane, the voice of Professor Utonium, suffered a stroke in late 2020.
- The voice cast expressed joy and emotion at witnessing Kane's recovery.
The original voice cast of The Powerpuff Girls recently gathered for a heartwarming reunion at the Lexington Comic & Toy Convention. This event was particularly poignant as it marked one of the first public appearances for Tom Kane, the beloved voice of Professor Utonium, following a significant stroke he suffered in December 2020.
During the convention, voice actresses Tara Strong (Bubbles), E.G. Daily (Buttercup), and Cathy Cavadini (Blossom) met with Kane. Daily shared on Instagram that Kane's stroke left him unable to speak, expressing gratitude for his recovery and love for their "Powerpuff Girls father."
Strong echoed the sentiments, describing the reunion as emotional and highlighting the long-awaited return of their "beautiful friend." Kane's daughter had previously confirmed that the stroke caused weakness and affected his speech center, but that he remained in good spirits and was showing speech improvements due to his determination.
The show originally aired on Cartoon Network for six seasons between 1998 and 2005, followed by a movie in 2002. A rebooted series began in 2016, but this reunion focused on the cherished original cast and their enduring connection.
