Line 1: {{work}} Prequel to the [[Nickelodeon]] CGI series ''[[~~Jimmy Neutron\|~~The Adventures Ofof Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius]]'', this 2001 movie was originally going to be simply a pilot episode for the series. Instead, the Nickelodeon executives were so impressed they gave it funding for cinematic release. Ten-year-old boy genius Jimmy Neutron has an IQ of 210. He invents rockets in his spare time, for launching satellites to communicate with alien races. (Of course.) Jimmy also has a robotic dog called Goddard that can do [[Do -Anything Robot\|pretty much anything]], a disproportionately large head and [[Anime Hair\|a strange hairdo]] - a fact constantly brought to the surface by his rival, Cindy Vortex. He's just living his ordinary life (get up, get his robot to do his hair for him, travel to school via gum that turns into a transportation bubble, show off his shrink ray in Show And Tell, etc.) when the communication satellite he launched at the beginning of the movie is intercepted by some egg-shaped aliens named 'The Yolkians'. (The King is voiced by [[Patrick Stewart]], and his brother/comic sidekick Ooblar is voiced by Martin Short.) {{tropelist}} ~~[[The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius (Animation)/Characters\|Character Sheet]] is here if wanted, but be warned - there are multiple spoilers for the series itself in there.~~ ~~----~~ ~~=== This movie provides examples of: ===~~ * [[Adorkable]]: Jimmy * [[Adults Are Useless]]: Taken to its literal extreme, [[There Are No Adults]], in the movie, when the entire grown-up population of Retroville is kidnapped by aliens. Line 21 ⟶ 18: * [[Catch Phrase]]: Jimmy - "Gotta Blast" * [[Comic Trio]]: Jimmy, Sheen, and Carl. * [[Do -Anything Robot]]: Goddard. * [[Dueling Movies]]: With ''[[Recess: ~~Schools~~School's Out]]'' (Though they didn't compete with each other- ''School's Out'' had already been released on video) * [[Early Installment Weirdness]]: Cindy's hair; pigtails in the movie, ponytail in the series that came after. ** All the kids had different character designs. Jimmy wore shorts and loafers instead of sneakers and jeans, Carl wore suspenders, and Sheen had collars on the end of his sleeves. * [[Five -Man Band]]: [[The Hero]]: Jimmy [[The Lancer]]: Cindy Line 37 ⟶ 34: * [[Meaningful Echo]]: "Now, you gotta admit, ''that'' is pretty cool." * [[Meaningful Name]]: James 'Jimmy' Isaac Neutron is not surprisingly, interested in science. ** Sheen Estevez; a [[Shout -Out]] to Charlie Sheen and Martin/Emilio Estevez. * [[Missing Mom]]: Sheen. [[Word of God]] says his mother died when he was young - they don't say her cause of death, however. * But she's visible in the movie at the end! She's right behind Sheen's dad! * [[Missing Trailer Scene]]: Pretty much everything in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmLoVgbJhk8 the teaser]. Justified, as a lot of it is very early test footage. Most of the scenes got recycled for smaller shorts that premiered during commercial breaks on Nickelodeon around the time the film came out. * [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: {{spoiler\|Jimmy sending the aliens information about Earth against his parents' orders is a very bad idea.}} * [[Pet the Dog]]: Rather than being condescending, as fictional and same real geniuses are wont to do, Jimmy is very nice to the rather dopey Carl and Sheen, not being a wet blanket when Carl shows him a picture of a frog or talks about wishing on a star. Carl in fact wishes to be like Jimmy as shown in his dreams. * [[Punny Name]]: Ms. Fowl has a few bird-like attributes. * [[Retro Universe]]: Retroville. * [[Robot Buddy]]: Goddard, whose a robotic dog. * [[Sassy Black Woman]]: Libby. * [[Schmuck Bait]] * [[Science Hero]]: Jimmy, who solves the problems his inventions create. * [[Sci -Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale]] * [[Self -Destruct Mechanism]]: Goddard has one, though he can reassemble himself. * [[Sequel Hook]]: Odd version used in one of the audio tracks. ''Leave it Up to Me'' includes half a verse about it, complete with the rather blatant lyrics: {{quote\| '''Aaron Carter:''' "Big people listen up, relax now, we're equal; and if the money's right then we might make a sequel."}} * [[Shout -Out]]: Nick describes ''[[The Blair Witch Project]]'' to the rest of the kids at the camp on the asteroid. The first thing Jimmy does in his alien transmission is the [[Star Trek\|Vulcan salute]]. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3F5SHvkERQ The second trailer's opening] is a huge one to ''[[Top Gun]]'', down to using "Danger Zone". Line 61 ⟶ 58: * [[Tsundere]]: Cindy. ** In the original movie she explains that she only became one to Jimmy, because she was jealous of his better grades and hated his tendency to show off his intelligence on every given occasion. * [[Where the Hell Is Springfield?]]: Averted, Retroville is in Texas.▼ * [[Ugly Guy Hot Wife]]: Hugh and Judy ▲* [[Where the Hell Is Springfield]]: Averted, Retroville is in Texas. {{reflist}} [[Category:Animated Films]] [[Category:~~Nickelodeon~~Jimmy ~~(Creator)~~Neutron: Boy Genius]] [[Category:Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius]]▼ [[Category:Film]] [[Category:Nickelodeon]] ▲[[Category:~~Jimmy~~Films ~~Neutron~~of ~~Boy~~the ~~Genius~~2000s]] [[Category:All CGI Cartoon]] [[Category:Science Fiction Animated Films]] [[Category:Western Animation of the 2000s]] [[Category:Western Animation]]
