origins, voice talents, and whatnot.
Unlike most Nickelodeon cartoons, which
generally end with a movie, Jimmy Neutron began with one.
Jimmy and his friends made their grand debut in the feature
film Jimmy Neutron: Boy
Genius.
The film, released in
2001, did well in the box offices, with the tagline
"Blasting Into Theaters". It was animated using Lightwave 3D and Messiah
Studio (Lightwave was also used in such famous films as
Jurassic Park, Titanic, The X-Files, and Iron Man). Written by John A. Davis
and Steve Oedekerk, the movie introduced Jimmy, Sheen, Carl,
Libby, Cindy, and a number of other side characters like
Nick Dean and Jimmy's parents. For those who haven't seen
the film, here's a quick plot summary: after every single
adult in town is abducted by the 'Yolkians', a group of
hostile, egg-themed aliens, the kids build a fleet of
intergalactic starships and set off to rescue them. The
movie is brimming with typical Jimmy Neutron humor, and a
cute naiveté that is lacking in the television
series.
Speaking of which...
After the success of the movie, Jimmy Neutron blasted onto
Nickelodeon with the show we all are familiar with: "The
Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius". The show ran from
2002 until 2006, for a total of 3 seasons. Members of the
production crew have stated that its eventual cancellation
was due not a lack of viewership, but rather because of
budget concerns, since episodes were costly to produce and
Nickelodeon didn't want to foot the bill anymore. Money
can't buy great TV, though, and to this day the series
maintains an 8.5 rating, or "great" rating on tv.com.
A spinoff series, "Planet Sheen", aired in 2010, but was
canceled after only 1 season thanks to its low popularity
(its tv.com
rating is 4.9, or poor).
The Adventures
of Jimmy Neutron boasted a number of talented and
widely-known voice artists.
