Jimmy Neutron - Boy Genius (Animated) (DVD)

...can review the imperiously popular Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius. Jimmy Neutron is based on the premise of a super kid who’s ahead of his time and, basically, a boy genius (simple, eh?). Directed by John A Davis (Olive the Other Reindeer & Santa vs The Snowman), the movie has a real child’s feel to it as opposed to some of the more adult-orientated films like those mentioned above. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ...

Review of Jimmy Neutron - Boy Genius (Animated) (DVD)

...contender, the eponym that is: Jimmy Neutron! As this was advertised as a Nickelodeon Productions movie (home of Rugrats) I assumed that this was based on an existing TV show, but my kids were unaware of it. Apparently, it is a whole new franchise that is being developed as such by Nickelodeon and DNA Production as a feature film, cartoon series and online gaming. This led to the animation becoming their first CGI 3D animation attempt. The plot ...
...and then reassemble himself. Jimmy is friends with the obligatory ‘fat kid’, Carl, and the nerdy Sheen, who is obsessed with the comic character Ultra Lord. His big rival is Cindy Vortex, who used to be the cleverest kid in class until Jimmy showed up and they have an ‘interesting’ relationship! These are very likeable characters and, for me, Sheen steals the movie with some of the funniest moments. Jimmy lives in Retroville ...

Review of Jimmy Neutron - Boy Genius (Animated) (DVD)

Jimmy Neutron – Boy Genius is an animated movie set in the aptly named town of Retroville. Although the animation is computer generated the town has a distinctly 50’s feel to it. It’s adult inhabitants also dress in the style of the 50’s, although the main juvenile characters seem to have been updated a little – both in terms of their clothing and behaviour. The main character, our hero Jimmy Neutron, is an eight or ...
...and playing with his classmates, Jimmy conducts scientific experiments and produces inventions. Many of these work for a short period of time only to fail at a vital moment causing embarrassment to young Jimmy and providing varying levels of amusement for the audience. Jimmy mainly hangs around with two friends; Carl, a chubby kid and Sheen whose main interest in life seems to be Ultra Lord – an action figure (definitely not a doll – ...

Review of Jimmy Neutron - Boy Genius (Animated) (DVD)

...frrom the cinema after seeing Jimmy Neutron with my daughter and it was great. My thoughts of what it would be like before hand were somewhat mixed. I knew in myself that Nickleodeon were more than likey to make a good film as they had done a good job with Rugrats the movie. However, I unfortunately suffered the return of Peter Pan and although not a Nickleodeon film it made me a little wary of childrens films. Anyway back to Jimmy. I didn't have ...

At the start of the film instead of talking to strangers in the park he takes it upon himself to communicate with "aliens" and puts a sattelite madee out of a toaster in space. This transmits a message to a mega advanced alien life form that decides to take all the parents in the Planet Earth and use them as a sacraficec ...

Review of Jimmy Neutron - Boy Genius (Animated) (DVD)

...trailer was advertising the forthcoming Jimmy Neutron, I had heard nothing of the film up until that point and for the following year after I heard nothing more. The people who would probably recognize young Jimmy and his quiff are those that tune into Nickelodeon, once in a while a small short cartoon will appear featuring Jimmy's exploits. This big screen outing feels like a grand advertisement for the small screen and a good one at that. Jimmy ...
...don't run smoothly and soon Jimmy has to catapault his homemade toaster satellite into orbit with the help of a fizzy drink can. Things calm down back on earth and we see more of Jimmy's gadgets and meet some of his friends. But back in space the evil King Goobot intercepts Jimmy's satellite and likes the look of Jimmy's parents as a tasty snack. Soon all the parents in Jimmy's town have gone missing and it's up to Jimmy and his friends to save the ...
