    This Depends On Your Audience

    There are lots of funny lines in this animated movie and some funny characters, at least for adults. I laughed and thought it was great but when I played it for the second time, with a couple of little kids in the audience I was disappointed that most of the humor went over their heads. All of a sudden, the film wasn't as great as I had remembered (and told them it was). So.....what you think of this film, I guess might depend on your age, for one thing.

    There's a nice message here for the kids, though: you can't do without your parents. Speaking of kids, the nerdy-looking fat kid obviously was the funniest in here. Everyone in the audience likes him.

    One bit of warning to the older folks: keep the audio remote handy. This gets very loud in spots and needs to be turned down here and there.

    Why all the negative reviews?

    This was a really good movie!

    I saw a lot of negative reviews for this movie, and I'm just not sure why.

    The characters are great, the humor is excellent and the plot is superb!

    However, the animation is quite dated, and that takes me out of the experience just a bit.

    Overall, I really liked this movie!

    To Infinity and Beyond.

    An elementary school student has to save his parents from evil space aliens with the help of his classmates (who all had their parents kidnapped as well) in this fun and overall enjoyable animated feature from the Nickelodeon Studios. "Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius" was a surprise Best Animated Feature nominee in 2001 (the category's first year). It seemed to be the oddball production in a group which included "Shrek" and "Monsters, Inc." (there were only three films nominated in that category that year). Overall though "Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius" is on par with "Shrek" (one of the more over-rated films of the past few years) and stands tall with the superior "Monsters, Inc.". Admittedly the movie is excellent for children, but only fair for hardened adults. It lacks the charm for wide audiences that most other animated features have these days. Still, "Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius" serves its purpose to the paramount and continues to be a money-maker for Nickelodeon (there is a regular series airing now on that network). First-rate animation (that has that striking aquarium-style appeal to it) and good voice characterizations (Martin Short and Patrick Stewart in particular as the comical aliens) make the movie one of the better films of 2001. 4 stars out of 5.

    sucks

    i dont see why the hell they took somethin like jimy neutron, which isnt even a real show, and made it into the lamest movie ever. the plot is unoriginal as ever (wow lets save the world from aliens etc). give me dexter's lab anyday over this crap
    perni

    Not the piece of Nick crap the previews made it out to be.

    I saw the trailers for Jimmy Neutron and was not at all impressed. The premise sounded way too kiddy and the fact that it was going to be a TV show made the whole thing scream, "Marketing!" Thankfully I just caught it on video and was wonderfully surprised. The animation is very good and nicely detailed, the humor is simple and G-rated for kids, which will please adults, and the story is fast-paced and creative. I liked all of the characters, from the whipped-cream hair sporting Jimmy to his nerdy friends and the evil booger aliens. There were some genuinely cool touches too, like the fight between a tiny teacher and the deadly apple worm or the detailed alien chicken. My only real complaint is the fact that the soundtrack is packed to the brim with dumb pop songs that pop up at the weirdest times and basically interrupt the flow of the whole movie. Also, any movie with Aaron Carter singing in it quickly gets a few points demoted from it. You can stick around after the video's credits for some music videos, one with the C arter kid and another with some girls singing "We're the Kids In America." They are not spectacular extras, which makes me yearn for a DVD player even more, now. All in all, though, Jimmy is a pleasant, short flick that won't keep adults in a coma and will definitely get the kids quiet for an hour. It may not be up there with the Pixar films or Shrek, but it is decent nonetheless. 3/4 stars.

    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Intended as a television pilot for The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius (2002). But, when Paramount's executives were shown very early footage, and early design plans for it, they were so impressed by it, that they decided to fund it for theatrical release.
    • Goofs
      Jimmy uses a hair from his head to confirm a DNA match to enter his clubhouse. While hair itself doesn't contain DNA, the follicle from which the hair grows does have DNA. A plucked hair always contains a bit of the follicle.
    • Quotes

      Jimmy: But dad, all my friends are going.

      Dad: I know son, but if all your friends were named Cliff, would you jump off them? I don't think so.

    • Crazy credits
      During the credits shows us what happend to Jimmy's teacher Ms. Fowl after he shrunk her in the beginning of the movie. She is seen riding a worm to the cafeteria.
    • Alternate versions
      On the VHS version, the movie opens and closes with the 90th Anniversary Paramount Pictures logo. However,on the DVD release, and on most TV prints, the 1986-2001 Paramount logo appears, which was in the original theatrical release.
