Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius (2001) - by

like the part when they made the spaceship and then launched the
spaceship and went up to outer space and then they saved their parents.
The cool part about the movie was when Jimmy got on his mechanical
dog, Goddard, and his dog's tail turned into a seat and he held on to
it's ears and then they got back into their spaceship and found their
parents! Then Carl used his inhaler and almost sprayed the eggs! Jimmy
Neutron said "it's all right Carl, it's only breakfast!"
I also liked the part when all the children's parents were doing a
chicken dance!! There was this alien with a controller that was making
the parents dance.
The Toast is so happy to have these nifty words and
pictures about Jimmy Neutron, a very funny cartoon from
Nickelodeon (and Paramount Pictures). Moving right along with a
surprisingly clever soundtrack of mostly New Wave classics from The
Ramones and the Go-Go’s, this movie is a delight of near Loony
Tunes proportions. Many current-day cartoons and animated
movies indulge in adult in-jokes and body-function humor that allow
grown-ups to get some enjoyment while their kiddies are laughing their
silly heads off. The movie avoids this with
a lovely straight-forward story but it does have a few subtle tidbits
for the folks – mom and dad consult a book for advice, it’s title:
“Unwrapping Your Gifted Child”.
Samar & Yavar Amidi, a couple of budding
geniuses themselves, live in the San Francisco Bay Area and really like
school.
