Status Post #8651: In 2002, Cartoon Network UK announced plans to do an original show called VBirds, which would've focused on the pop group of the same name (all voiced by Sophie Okonedo, though the identity of their singing voices remains unknown, though her company Star Company Productions was credited in the singles) and to pique viewer interest, a short was included on The Powerpuff Girls VHS release, which led to a dance series called VBirds: Perfect and then a single titled "Virtuality", which peaked in the UK Top 40.
Sadly, despite the channel's high hopes along with the pop group being interviewed on SMTV Live, follow-up single "Dance with Me" failed to chart and a full series was never comissioned. Had the pilot been picked up, VBirds would've been the British equivalent of Vocaloid or more specificially, virtual music's answer to the Spice Girls.
