The Code Lyoko forehead is that well that's Johnny Quasar the original test for the idea of Jimmy Neutron so in the 1980s this guy here John a Davis worked on the pre-production ideas for a short called Runaway rocket boy that would follow Mr Quasar here the name coming from a mix of Johnny Quest and Captain Quasar two huge Inspirations of just building in the things you love into what you're working on the short would follow Johnny after he builds a rocket to run away from home hence the name runaway rocket Boy originally in mind this was going to be a fusion of live action in CGI Tech analogy from that time but with little movement to pursue this idea further nothing really came of it in the 80s Jon had his own Studio though DNA Productions you know the three-eyed monkey thing at the end of Jimmy Neutron episodes It's burned into my brain I'll never forget it at DNA Productions they began trying out some software for computer animation and came to the decision that his Johnny Quasar story is really better suited for a CGI film here's where we fast forward to this video the proof of concept all done with computer Graphics that shows Jimmy and his robotic dog flying in a rocket Jon and DNA production's co-founder Keith Alcorn got to work finishing up what this would fully look like as well as creating the series Bible if it were to become a full-fledged TV series instead of a movie following a circuit of showing off this short proof of concept around buzz on it was spreading winning Awards and getting articles in magazines and while all this is really cool the most important thing that happened to it was that Steve odekirk saw it and wanted in on it he was the founder of oh entertainment and and thought that what John and Keith had put together looked fun these three linked up at one point and Steve took a look around at what they had fully come up with Concept wise so he wanted to help them take around and Pitch Johnny Quasar to some networks in the hopes of making it a reality so now we have two Studios coming together and the outcome was making an episode with the new title of the show The Adventures of Johnny Quasar taking the visuals to a new level redesigning a bunch of stuff and overall just fleshing out this short into something a lot more tangible now we've reached the mid 90s and Nickelodeon was the big Network at the table they were interested in the concept and even more importantly the president of Nick at the time Albee hatch was interested in the concept from the character of Johnny himself to the base concept of what the show was this was great there was interest Johnny Quasar may become a reality Nickelodeon told them to get to work finishing up a 13-minute pilot on Nickelodeon's dime of course so after a few years going back and forth really tailoring out what this show would be what the creators wanted what Nickelodeon wanted the full pilot was finished in 1998. Nickelodeon had one major request though that would change Johnny Quasar into the character we know today they wanted the name of the main character and the show name overall changed so that there is no shred of feeling like the names were taken from past popular properties Davis would ultimately be the one to come up with the new and final name for the main character in the show he went for a walk his dog was with him and something just ended up clicking out of thin air the name Jimmy Neutron was born Boom the final missing piece to make this show complete was formed and Nickelodeon was happy with both the name of the show and the show pilot itself now here's where the big idea shifted how do we launch this show we could shoot it up like a rocket right into space and see what happens or we can be calculated make sure the math is right and then launch with a lot more prep knowing exactly what we're doing the idea to bring awareness to the eventual show was to make it a theatrical film which Nickelodeon was finding some success in from their few live-action films but definitely with their animated films there were a lot of benefits here the assets would be able to be shared between both the film and the show which means there is a lot of money to be saved right there alone aside from some more work on the theatrical models to add a bit more detail like most big budget animated films do when working on an existing property or future property but rather than a show that comes out and then has a movie like we've seen in the majority of cases when an animated show gets very popular a movie is more likely to be made Jon thought that releasing the movie first would work as a gateway to the show along with some other behind the scenes production for workflow past the film while there were a lot of worries just delivering a new property to people with nothing to base it on why would kids be excited for it this was their main concern but they decided to risk it for the biscuit and went with the feature film idea it was greenlit with a 30 million dollar budget in 1999 and production began the following year and the film would fully release in theaters on December 21st 2001 becoming the animated film for families for the the holidays this was the first time Nickelodeon would release a film in theaters that was computer generated over their live action and 2D animated films but all of the worries that the creators had taking this risk as well as Nick taking this risk were quickly pushed aside as Jimmy Neutron's boy Genius would become a hit earning a total of right under 103 million dollars at the box office cementing Jimmy Neutron as a winning bet and the franchise would be good to come out following the film so now that we've established all of that before we jump into the show itself let's take a look at what the movie itself was all about and how it perfectly set up the show Jimmy Neutron will be right back and if that isn't enough it's gonna start up right where it left off when will Jimmy Neutron be back good question Jimmy Neutron boy Genius the movie I'll get this out of the way right from the start I love this movie I remember going to the theaters and seeing this movie and now as an adult they finally put it on Blu-ray life sure is sweet sometimes but the film follows well the adventures of Jimmy Neutron which makes sense since that's the name of the show itself later on Jimmy Neutron is your typical kid he goes to school he has friends he has a robotic dog and he's a Super Genius at 11 years old yeah just your typical kid he lives in retroville a quaint Suburban town that has a smaller downtown area and we meet basically everyone important here his friend Carl Weezer and Chin Estevez his parents Hugh and Judy and even his maybe Crush but total mental gymnastic rival Cindy Vortex of course we meet a lot more characters in the film that would get more expanded roles in the show like Libby Cindy's best friend Nick who is the cool kid and who can forget Miss foul oh yeah of course we really get to meet Jimmy understand who he is how his smart smarts constantly cause trouble for others and how he has to Brain Blast a solution to fix everything up and his dog Goddard is there too he's great well to be fair he comes in handy as a mode of transportation a loyal companion a storage unit and so much more Goddard is just great now what is the actual plot of the film so this will play into what happened shortly but we start the film with Jimmy flying past the military to launch a homemade satellite of sorts into space in hopes of it reaching other intelligent life among the stars but back to the surface of Earth Jimmy's parents aren't happy with him in his scientific mischievousness so what do kids do when their parents don't let them get their way and they get punished for their actions and you want to go to the grand opening of the retroland amusement park well they start listening to a bad influence which comes in the vessel of Nick you know that cool kid who tells him to sneak out at night and go have fun at the amusement park with everyone going so he disobeys his parents meets up with Carl and Sheen and they go have the time of their lives at the park all backed by one of the greatest songs ever made Pop by NSync no I will not debate you on that it is no longer subject active it's a fact speaking of facts the music in this film is great like the actual songs they picked for this film are some real Bops and make the film even more special oh but it dates it to the early 2000 I like it leave me alone their night went really well everyone had a good time and oh a shooting star time to make a wish a wish for no more parents so the kids can do whatever they want when they want but remember that satellite from the start of the movie well it reached someone a few someones the yokians an alien race of egg-like beings with their robotic outer shells giving them the full completed egg look I love them great bad guys they see a picture of Jimmy's parents and realize that parents are exactly what they need for a great sacrifice so they swoop down to earth kidnap all the parents in town as the kids are at the amusement park and when the morning rolls around the wish technically came true as all the parents are gone so all the kids throw the biggest party they can taking over the town the school the streets and they just live it up until they're sick of it and Jimmy realizes that the parents didn't all just leave without telling their kids in fact when his parents went to check in on him at night and they were talking to Goddard in which they thought they were talking to Jimmy they said they'll see you in the morning so big brain here does some research in his lab and lo and behold aliens visit Earth and they took all of their parents whatever is an 11 year old kid and the rest of his classmates supposed to do yup rally together into space after the aliens to rescue their parents how you ask well they dismantle the amusement park turning different rides into space traveling vessels again another bot plays here being Kids In America by no secrets and everything's all working and then this moment happens and you're all worried but then the engines all ignite properly and the music turns back on at the exact moment kids in the theater are losing their mind popcorn is flying everywhere vomit is spewing this was that moment where you were locked in you believe that these kids are actually going to do it yeah I like the movie a lot so after some space traveling they make their way to the yokian planet where they are easily able to find their parents but unfortunately they all are wearing some mind control helmets that make them follow the command of the leader of the yokians king gubat so when Jimmy tries to save his father he is caught and your Royal Highness King gubat comes over to tell Jimmy and all the friends that their parents being captured and the fact that they are all about to be sacrificed their giant chicken God potra was all Jimmy's fault in the first place for sending out that satellite containing all that extra information so now the kids are imprisoned everyone hates Jimmy got her just stripped away from them and Cindy ends up giving Jimmy the pep talk he needs to not give up and help come up with a plan to escape from the prison cells and save their parents before they are eaten by a giant chicken he uses Libby's cell phone to reach out to Goddard who is able to break free from his captivity and help free all the kids and now it's a race to save the parents as the giant chicken is about to be hatched the adults are doing the chicken dance Sheen steals one of the yokine ships and runs it into Paltrow knocking him over in the arena Goddard snatches the mind control remote and they start escaping back into the stars but the yokian's Armada is sent after them they managed to take out most of the ships thanks to the power of the sun before a final confrontation with King gubak who begins to mock Jimmy for his small stature but Jimmy has an ace of sleeve hopping on the back of Goddard charging right up to goobot's ship using his shrink ray but to do the opposite of shrieking which is growing so now there's this massive Jimmy Neutron and he sends their ship right into an asteroid destroying it and then the cooking egg yolk goo of what's left of the king vows that he will one day get back at Jimmy Neutron which we will see in the show sorry spoiler I guess the parents are all saved everyone makes amends and learns their lessons and makes it back to Earth to do more scientific things another day and that's the movie I love it it's a great introduction to Jimmy Neutron the cool science experiments gadgets and ideas he has it genuinely is a fun time and again that soundtrack is so good aside from my other examples you have We Got the Beat by the Go-Go's parents just don't understand no not the Will Smith version but the little Romeo version Blitzkrieg Bop from The Ramones Bowling For Soup for the theme song you also have artists like Britney Spears the Backstreet Boys heck Aaron Carter didn't just have one not two but three songs on the soundtrack it was such a good curated group of songs that are just as memorable as the moments they are attached to in the movie but while the movie was a success and it was smart to launch the show after the movie it became a double-edged sword as there was a planned sequel that they wanted to make come out in 2004 but because of disagreement on what the story should be the real question of are kids even now interested in seeing Jimmy Neutron in theaters when he's on their TVs anyway to that I say yeah they probably would but regardless we still got a three season show and a spin-off show Beyond this movie so let's take a look at the show itself Jimmy Neutron will be right back on Friday night's Nicktoons now back to the adventures of Jimmy Neutron boy Genius I'm tired because of the nightmare Rebel spooky things chasing me I ran and I ran but I can't get away when Pants Attack so Jimmy Neutron started with a banger of an episode bringing you right into the world of the weird for the series Jimmy comes storming in on his Robo Walker with Carl in the backdrop of night when Carl gets launched out of his pants to test out the ejection feature on the device which Sparks Jimmy to remember that he just never picks up all of his identical pants that no one should have this many pairs of for him to be allowed to go see the new hit movie in theaters with his friends he needs to have his room cleaned and his pants fully put away but when his mom says pants don't pick themselves up Jimmy comes up with the idea of Nano chip based pants that would do it themselves but it would have taken a fraction of the time to just I don't know pick them up but we need a plot and this one really gives us the first real taste of how Nanobots or nanotechnology Nano chips you name it all always are a bad thing in this show so Jimmy proves to his parents that the pants can now hang themselves up so he's allowed to go to the movies now but something is happening in Jimmy's closet the Nano chip is malfunctioning and you know that this can't be any good in school the next day Miss fowl gets pantsed accidentally but the students have to give some presentations to the class and of course Jimmy's pants go haywire and start having a mind of their own so now Cindy and Jimmy are at odds like usual but now both their pants as well as Carl's and Sheen's are going wild until the pants rip off of all their bodies to go and cause chaos and now they gotta track down those loose pantaloons especially before the Nano chip is able to affect the other pants at a town shop where pants can take over the world some Aaron Carter starts playing as a reminder of how great the movie soundtrack was Jimmy brings out his clothes pin Sharpshooter to clamp down the evil pants but they fight back also Hugh catches a charge later I got two words for you when things get dire and Jimmy's Pants start taking over all the other pants in a store Jimmy reworks some washing machine parts into a robo Walker to Aid in the fight as Cindy is single-handedly kicking some fabric-based butt he was interrogation of regular non-infected pants is probably the best comedic moment in the first episode classic Hue Jimmy has his defining Brain Blast trade and uses static electricity to short-circuit the Nano chip and while he does end up winning the battle he can no longer go to the movies until he picks up all this pants I don't know why this episode was ever hidden by Nickelodeon and not included on streaming services there's a few episodes like this that are just omitted but regardless it's a fun episode to start out with so welcome to Jimmy Neutron I guess normal boy now a lot of season one and a good bit of the rest of the series have episodes that have two segments rather than one story for 22 minutes so much like this one we are going into the different segments themselves here in this segment Jimmy just wants to show off his new juicer and is going to make some simple orange juice but instead it sucks in a bunch of kitchen-based apparatuses that leave the kitchen destroyed and for some reason shoot a bunch of the items into space okay you know it's an annoyance but nothing that is unfixable is what you would think if the objects thrown into space didn't hit an asteroid that now is knocked into a collision course with her and more specifically retroville but regardless it's an extinction-sized meteor that can destroy the world but before anyone is aware of that Judy isn't too happy with Jimmy uttering that she wished he wasn't such a little genius sometimes and he is dismissed to head to school during a science presentation Jimmy casually outshines everyone in the class making missfoul disregard a lot of the other projects from the students causing the rest of the class to hold this resentment towards Jimmy and him always one-upping them adding in the principle telling the class that Jimmy's test scores were the highest in the world all this really gets to Jimmy as well he has all this love for Science and is really smart he doesn't like how his ideas affect others or how he is perceived by his peers he decides that he is going to live a simpler life by draining his brain only to a more normal level to fit in but in Jimmy Neutron fashion it malfunctions and it ends up draining his brain to the most basic functions and as he is in class the next day others start taking notice of how unsmart he has now become and when they all realize a meteor is now barreling towards Earth everyone is panicked aside from Jimmy now when the people in power come asking Jimmy for help to stop the meteor he tries to do his signature Brain Blast but ends up laughing at funny monkey and to be fair it is a funny monkey Carl spills the beans about Jimmy draining his brain so Cindy has Carl and Sheen bring her to where he did this and they are able to reverse the brain drain and bring him back to the normal smart version of Jimmy he was before so he gets in his rocket and is able to repel the meteorite back into space because of science look I'm not Jimmy Neutron I don't know what you want from me okay I can't explain what happened here Cindy then looks to Jimmy to help give her some credit for helping in the situation but Jimmy says Nah I don't know you are Trio then emote on everyone by doing the loopy dance birth of a Salesman don't you wish that rather than reading a book you can just download the knowledge from it while Jimmy here has invented book gum a way for you to chew a small book looking piece of gum that grants you the full understanding of that book but that is an important just yet in school the class is going to take place in a candy selling contest to raise money and the winner of the most sold wins VIP tickets to Retro land the biggest rivals in this competition are Jimmy and Cindy the two do their best through their different pitching techniques but alas Jimmy is falling behind and can't sell like Cindy and Libby together are Timmy decides that he needs the top salesman to do this so he invents the perfect salesman Willie Lowman three thousand he doesn't take no for an answer literally but things quickly go from good to bad as to make these sales happen Willie has been giving stuff away from Jimmy like Goddard his rocket Etc this gets escalated until the salesman tries to sell Jimmy as a free incentive for the candy Jimmy these quick thinking has him offer the salesman that book gum from earlier which you can't chew more than one of at a time so when the salesman eats it he short circuits and the winner of the contest is a tie both Jimmy and Cindy tied and now have to go to Retro land together now I know I'll say this at some other points of this video but I just love this show it's very rare that I don't view an episode as a classic or something that I can't recall from memory pretty well these two segments are both very nostalgic for me a lot of season one is packed with heavy hitter episodes but at the same time I guess the rest of the series is as well brobot Jimmy needs some help testing another one of his inventions but both Carl and Sheen are too busy to help him out feeling lonely he notices Butch playing at the park with his younger brother causing Jimmy to have the want for a younger sibling so at dinner he lays down the facts to his parents that he wants them to get busy getting busy so he can have a younger brother so while that really led to Nowhere Jimmy is going to do it himself if he has to and by that I mean him building and putting together a robotic brother he Powers the robot up and dubs him robot and immediately asked Jimmy what he wants to do Jimmy is so proud he finally has a brother his parents are both parts accepting and questioning Jimmy's new brother and I guess their new son finally now Jimmy has someone to test out his new inventions with first being a super pogo stick where when brobot tries it bounces all the way around the Moon and back and asks Jimmy to go there and that's what we call foreshadowing later on Carl and sheen come around and meet robot as we see how much more perfect that activities over Jimmy he is and Jimmy starts getting upset that robot is getting all of this attention and praise over him but like my guy you invented him you should be proud of how advanced your creation is but brobot also impresses Cindy and Libby and ends up going to hang out with them as Jimmy becomes left out of the group heck even his parents are taking Walter robot over Jimmy this starts festering into a hatred for his own creation his own brother as robot gets more and more on his nerves as the time passes Jimmy hits a boiling point where then he nearly tries to shut down robot but his emotions get the better of him and he hesitates to do it but his tear accidentally triggers the deactivation and Jimmy is torn up about it he's crushed at what he's done but it's fine he was built indestructible so literally things are fine and in the interest of robot and himself he builds robot robot parents for him to live with on none other than the moon and now brobot lives a nice life and Jimmy can visit him anytime it's very wholesome the big pinch Jimmy's best trait or his biggest red flag is constantly messing with the will of the universe and this episode is no different him and Cindy are arguing like they usually do this time regarding the invention of the radio so to prove that he is right to Cindy he shows up with Thomas Edison literally ripping him from his time in the past to modern day oh Jimmy why do you never calculate the consequences of your actions after Thomas backs up Jimmy he quickly gets preoccupied with Miss fowl and goes off on a day date with her Jimmy is keeping an eye on this as he still has to return Edison to the past but things start happening weird things like the Jukebox that the candy bar disappearing in power outages are happening knowing that he needs to get him back to his time immediately and break up this date he does whatever he can to do so but nothing is working and Edison has no interest in going back because of his infatuation with Miss fowl but luckily Miss foul tells him that he needs to go back to his time but man's really tried proposing to her after a few hours together nice try hello Miss Edison Miss foul rejects The Proposal though so Edison willingly heads back to the lab with Jimmy and is sent back home this is one of the lighter on plot episodes that is so basic and so quick to get through that they always feel like a nice little palette cleanser and look into a random regular day in retroville then there's granny baby if Jimmy is being babysat by his grandmother but the rules quickly get reversed when Jimmy sneaks a potion into her medicine bottle to help her experience youth again to stop her from describing all the problems with getting old and having health issues it all goes wrong when after she drinks it she doesn't just get her youth back she turns into a full-on baby one that can talk where now Jimmy has to play babysitter and take care of his grandma a bunch of shenanigans ensue and it's another fun episode in the vein of the last two having less ideal situations to be in with a wrapped up situation swiftly covering everything up through the help of the main cast of Friends they are able to get Granny to drink the antidote to turn her back into her regular self just as Jimmy's parents pull up back to the house and of course Carl has to do what Carl does so naturally when thirsty drinks the antidote thus aging him into an older man who now goes and dances with Jimmy's Grandma forget Jimmy's mom it's all about Jimmy's Grandma now right Carl I'm really thirsty time is money Jimmy is a simple smart dude he sees knowledge to learn and by gosh does he want to learn it so after seeing a commercial for a thousand volume set of infinite knowledge encyclopedias he goes to ask his parents to get it for him and at first they seem pretty into it until they find out that the price is oh oh my uh well thank you anyway that's too much for them to commit and if Jimmy really wants the set then he needs to go and get a job to pay for it himself by working at mixed Bank Yankees just kidding that's a later episode's plot here he goes back in time around 15 years to convince his dad to invest in mcspankies and then reap the rich benefits of it in the future once they do so they end up back in the modern day to realize that the plan had worked and his parents are now filthy stinking Rich complete with golden duck statues and all their house is now a palace but things aren't as great as they seem as Hugh and Judy are both very different they are snooty stuck up and looked down on those who don't have wealth they even care more about the stuff and money they have over their own son bribing his poor friends to leave the house picking out Goddard and having their servant bring Jimmy to his room but hey things aren't all that bad cause when he looks in his room all 1 000 volumes of the encyclopedias are there which is what he really wanted all along so that's a win in my book but what good is getting what you want when your parents are completely different people now who love their money over you Jimmy regrets what he has done heads back to the past again and undoes the Damage returning back to the present where everything is normal again and hey in the end his parents decide that sense these are educational books that they would put aside other things that they were saving for like a vacation to get them for him but Jimmy ends up telling them that he doesn't want the books anymore but thanks them for caring enough to make that gesture it's actually a really sweet little episode about the value of things that matter most versus material wants and I just really enjoyed how it was all portrayed y'all like lima beans I sure don't it's not for the taste it's not for the look it's simply the fault of an episode of Jimmy Neutron the episode I dream of Jimmy from season one took us into the mind of Carl due to his increasing nightmares causing him a lack of sleep Jimmy the boy Genius he is uses one of his inventions to enter Carl's Dreams and Nightmares to help find the root of the problem in parts of the dreams we see that Carl sees himself as the boy genius and Jimmy as the not boy Genius even going as far as to use him for a show and tell moment for the class that puts Jimmy in an electric chair and shocking him only problem is he feels the real pain of it you die in the dream you die in real life you're in a dream this also makes me think that there is some underlying jealousy turning into hatred within Carl's subconscious that is being portrayed here like Carl I know you're into Jimmy's mom but that doesn't mean you need to torture and eliminate Jimmy over it we later find out that the root of Carl's nightmares is his fear of lima beans yes lima beans underneath Carl's bed in the dream is a small anthropomorphic Lima Bean playing a harmonica nothing too worrisome right that is not correct as Jimmy turns his back on the life of being to reassure Carl that it's just a little lima bean behind him we see that same little lima bean eat the harmonica and grow in size turning into a full lima bean monster that proceeds to chase them this is why I don't like lima beans seeing this when I was a kid terrified me to my core the eyeless sharp tooth monster lima bean gave me nightmares I vowed back then to never eat or in fact ever acknowledge their existence as real food until making this video let's just hope I can sleep tonight the rest of the episode is filled with weird and wacky moments within the dream to help Carl realize that he's dreaming so that they can escape but once they do escape the lima bean follows them out of the dream portal and continues the chase until quickly being crushed by a large Hammer then in an oddly gruesome way being shown cut up in eight yeah that's uh that's something to think about the episode left such a large impact on me for the horrific lima bean I'll never forget it for that reason when I think back on Jimmy Neutron this is one of the top episodes that comes to mind just because of that fact alone and hopefully I don't have to say lima beans another 87 times raise the uzi scab okay this one really is a classic I feel out of any episode of Jimmy Neutron this had the most reruns on TV and I have seen it so many times but I'm seeing it again now so let's talk about it Miss Val is tossing the class A partner-based marine project where Carl and Sheen have partnered up and Libby has partnered up with another girl in class Brittany for material reasons leaving Jimmy and Cindy partnerless and now forced to work together by Miss foul so when it comes to doing the actual project Jimmy is going to find the treasure of the uzi scab in Old sunken pirate ship as he then shows off his submarine where did he get this did he just build this himself probably did he went forward with this idea in hopes that Cindy won't want any part of it but she's in and so is Carl and Sheen for reasons in order to find the treasure he needs help tracking it down underwater so he whips out his gilgab 9000 which allows him to speak and understand fish but this proves not to be as helpful as he thought and Cindy pulls the Mutiny card and everyone on board ties him up it's a nice friend you got there Cindy of course is able to find the uzi scab pretty easily right until they are stopped and caught by a giant squid that holds the submarine captive everyone is scared and they need Jimmy's help but of course he's playing it Petty and needs Cindy to admit that he is smarter and nicer and an all-around better person than her and she ends up doing so but the gilgab isn't working on the squid as it was meant for fish only so Jimmy takes one of Carl's fish snackums that have freeze-dried squid in the ingredients so by the laws of science he can use it now to be able to speak to the squid don't question the logic just roll with it the communication with the Squid Works he helps them get the treasure and they all make it out alive but once they reveal the treasure inside the chest it was just some salt water taffy which hey I love so I wouldn't be too mad at that I guess but while being disappointed they still got an A plus G Jimmy on Ice you know I'm Just Your Average fella I don't like it when it's too cold or too hot Jimmy and the rest of retroville are dealing with a pretty hot summer that everyone is dreading as they go through it Cindy and Libby are fine though as they have a pool and aren't willing to share unless the boys admit that the girls are better than the boys while we all know that they aren't going to do that so Jimmy starts getting to thinking all smart like noticing that Carl is applying sunblock so why not create a strong enough sunblock that doesn't go on your skin but instead goes into the atmosphere and hey it worked things cool off and it even starts to snow how could this go wrong everyone seems to be happy aside from Cindy who thinks his Antics are pretty pathetic Libby on the other hand goes and joins the others having fun in the snow though while things seemed okay for the moment the next day the temperature has dropped severely in the heights of the snow is piling up it's time for Ice Age 2 and we aren't talking about the movie also because Ice Age 2 was called the Meltdown clearly that's not what's happening here everyone in town starts going feral acting like they're all caveman and try to sacrifice Jimmy at one point but Carl ends up coming in handy once again based on the comment about his perspiration and learning that the sunblock isn't waterproof but when you really get to thinking about it snow is just water technically why wouldn't the snow work just as well as sweat well I'm not the smart one here Jimmy is so he gathers the sweatiest people in town and has them run to produce enough sweat to reverse the sunblock's effects and stop the new Ice Age well that didn't work Disney made a sixth Ice Age movie for Disney plus okay I'll stop with the Ice Age jokes now the weather returns to normal everyone is happy about it but now they have to deal with the awful odor of body sweat at this point can I even try thinking logical about the science stuff because I don't think you can battle of the band another episode that I really like a lot personally there's a talent show coming up in our Trio here are coming up with what they plan on doing for it Jimmy's all like hey fellow students listen to me do algebra in Latin and Carl wants to blow bubbles in Sheen but wants to spit water okay well you know all of these sounds so entertaining I couldn't pick which one I'm most excited for Cindy and Libby are doing this river dancing number which they give them a little taste of but Jimmy on the spot puts together an idea to tell the girls that his band is going to perform so take that Cindy oh wait Jimmy doesn't have a band well at least not yet so now Jimmy Carl and Sheen have to come together with the instruments he put together to give the user the power of just playing what they are thinking no Talent required just like me after a debate about the name of the band they come up with a combination idea from all of them calling themselves the Llama Lords of science not gonna lie that's pretty cool they give off a test performance and they are a hit people gather up to hear them and everyone is impressed aside from Cindy of course but quickly things start to go awry as everyone is having their Justin Timberlake moment thinking that they are the biggest out of the rest of the band Jimmy wants to rename the band to the Jimmy Neutron experience Sheen wants to rename the band as Sheen and the she Nets and Carl wants to name it the Carl wieser project I like Carl's name the best here this gets everyone into a big fight as especially since each one of them also wants to do some form of instrumental solo but when the talent show rolls around things are still pretty torn between the three of them resulting in Sheen throwing the instruments out of the window of the school destroying them but they quickly realize that they are all friends and they don't need to be fighting over this and so now it's time for them to hit the stage uh oh and now they are scrambling to come up with something for their performance but in the end Carl gets to go out there and blow bubbles while one bubble a snot bubble one so big that it bursts and covers everyone in mucus so as Cindy and Libby end up winning they vowed that their band would be back together for next year which starts the fighting between them all over again they really forgot the one lesson being taught to them this whole episode and that's to have fun with it see Jimmy run Jimmy smart Jimmy not athletic so when it comes to the relay races at school he always comes in last place so he invents his way out of this problem by making a pair of really fast running shoes that come with super speed power so that he can smoke the competition in the relay race but even then he isn't smart enough to win against Cindy who uses her smarts to distract him as Jimmy takes another big L Lemmy in his anger he realizes that he can run so fast that he basically becomes invisible so in the efforts of Revenge starts trying to get back at Cindy by embarrassing her in front of her friends but especially Nick the cool guy his fun with doing this turned into him messing with his friends as well but the laughs quickly turn into fear as he is stuck running his shoes just won't quit after all of his efforts to get his friend's attention to help him fail he runs around and grabs onto the Merry-Go-Round at the playground to get out of his shoes which eventually does work but at the cost of him turning into a gelatinous blob and his friends are just as terrified as they are fascinated by it and end up just poking him for the rest of the day I remember the first time I saw this episode and I thought this glob of neutron was such a cool looking animation I don't know why but I was just so stun locked onto how cool it looked Trading Faces where Jimmy and Cindy who are continuously at odds end up having their body switched the Consciousness and soul of Jimmy and Cindy were transferred into one another a Freaky Friday Like father-like Son situation we've seen a million times over and over but the real crutch of the episode comes towards the resolution where they have Carl Sheen and Libby help dump their brains into one of Jimmy's inventions then go through the things that make them them and file sort them into the right bodies just the thought of leaving these thoughts ideas and personality traits up to the hands of especially Carl and Sheen while literally lying there with their brains completely dumped it's not an ideal situation to say the least it is really funny though seeing them all go back and forth with ridiculous traits and deciding what goes where and what either of them maybe shouldn't remember luckily it all works out in the end maybe Phantom of retro land another day in class another presentation so for Today's Show and Tell cool kid Nick decides to take the tell part and not the show part by telling everyone about the Phantom of retro land a ghost that lives at the kind of new amusement park but semantics and apparently this creature eats people in the middle of the night Jimmy doesn't believe a word of it so he wants to scientifically prove that this is nothing more than a myth and no one should be scared of it Jimmy me using his powers that he learned from Nick in the movie to sneak out sneaks out after dark to head with the crew to Retro land this time however he doesn't get past his parents ever finding out as his hologram projector has an oopsie and now he's doing the limbo in his room and his parents are mad and Judy's gonna be all like James Isaac neutron ah good times at the park they end up running into the Phantom fairly quickly but surprise surprise it was Nick all along but then there's another Phantom the myths are real real fake that is because this one was just Cindy and Libby but then a third Phantom shows up and there's no way that it can't be real now I mean look at it the face the body but it's fake it's just Judy and Hugh pulling a prank specifically on Jimmy for sneaking out to teach him a lesson so in the end it was all just a big rumor and that's it but then a fourth Phantom appears and this time it's real yeah no more fake outs if that's just a real Phantom next let's talk about the episode my son the hamster which is not a scarier weird episode or anything it's just weird but this time in all the right ways for both the odd imagery and genuine hilarious seriousness here similar to the movie The Fly side note the remake with Jeff Goldblum is my favorite version of The Fly Jimmy Jean splices or in this episode's case Adam swaps himself with Carl's new hamster accidentally nothing too crazy happens here in the episode it's just such a weird image to look at for the rest of the run time a giant Jimmy with the head of a hamster and a small hamster with the head of Jimbo it's weird it's funny and it's something that I fondly love to look back on for the show Hall monster now I have my own personal thoughts about Hall monitors I go into it more on my video about the show Fillmore but here in this episode there needs to be a new hall monitor at the school so pulled out of a hat is Jimmy's name and at first he's pretty bummed out about it but principal Willoughby mentions about Albert Einstein once being a hole monitor so you know my boy Jimmy was geeking and we all know what's about to happen in this episode the power goes to his head with the write-ups he can give for anyone slightly breaking the rules or tries messing with him like Cindy of course he even starts going all RoboCop on the students but Goddard helps him see how cruel he has been and how he is alienating his French ships because of it he even tried to resign after that but you can't once a hall monitor oh he's a hall monitor unless you yourself Break The Rules so of course he does just that and he's relieved from Duty so now Sheen is picked and I fear for Humanity Hypno birthday to you birthdays are fun right well not when you get old no need to keep reminding me every year that I'm getting older but Jimmy likes his birthday and wants it to keep happening over and over again so he can get these chemistry sets that he can create a brand new hypercube so every day is like Groundhog's Day and it's Jimmy's birthday over and over and people are sick of cake and it's a pretty overdone concept but I like the spin on it that Jimmy creates this birthday Loop himself because he's hypnotized as parents funny though the clown guy here actually breaks the device that has his parents like that and once they realize what has happened decide to teach him a lesson it's been so many birthdays that they tell him that it's actually his 18th birthday now and he needs to get out and leave to college but he comes clean about why he hypnotized them and he gets punished Carl gets chased by a llama it's an okay segment it's fun but not my favorite crime lunchtime so here Jimmy decides to help his friends out when Carl and Sheen don't know what candy they want so he gets the idea to create the ultimate mega candy he becomes a DJ of candy curation as he starts mixing up all the ultimate flavors that make candy candy after we go through various different side effect results Jimmy tries one final batch that he ends up taking to school and you know the rules it's like pulling out a pack of gum in class everyone has to get a piece everyone who tries it ends up loving it and they all want Jimmy to make more so boy Genius here just goes to make more but in the middle of the night Carl and Sheen are pretty pressed for the candy questioning Jimmy for when it will be ready but after Jimmy tells them that it'll be ready in a few hours Sheen tells a whole crowd of kids who were waiting outside that the candy isn't ready yet and now everyone will do anything or trade anything to get more of the candy as soon as possible before you know it the town is going candy crazy and resort to fighting over the candy and even chasing Jimmy as if they were a herd of Undead and this has gotten way too out of hand for Jimmy and he needs to get rid of any remaining traces of the candy but in doing this the town's people ride against Jimmy for not supplying them anymore like calm down you weren't even paying this man in the end Jimmy comes up with a way to infuse the candy that will in turn shock the citizens once they eat it and it will break the trance that they are in as well for this want of candy except for Sheen he likes it I remember as a kid when I saw this episode I really wanted to try this candy it looked pretty good and what could go wrong I'll take the shocking fine substitute creature everyone at school is showing off their plans for a botany project and Jimmy adds a little bit of that secret sauce to his so it can be more of an impressive showcase but as Jimmy is showing it off to the class a seed shoots out from his plant right into Miss fowl's mouth and begins to grow in size turning her into a monster Miss foul breaks out of the school and heads into the town Standing Tall over the buildings crashing into them starting to wreak havoc jets are coming in from the military but they aren't posing a real threat to falzilla at the same time there is a toaster convention in town that he was very excited for Judy maybe not as much but they end up in the city from attending the convention and Hugh is seen having his brand new toaster and Jimmy needs it to combine it with the accelerating formula and sends it into her mouth which ends up working shrieking her back to normal size the day is saved it was Jimmy's fault of course but hey he saved the day but then Carl comes in and decides that he's hungry and he ends up eating the same seeds causing him to grow to be a giant but it's okay he's a harmless giant Jimmy will be back he messed up his hair and needs to add 11 pounds of mousse this guy has huge air Jim is back to try to contain yourself last time we got complaints from your neighbor Safety First nerd Tron is being bullied at school by this dude Terry who likes to take his lunches beat him up and overall hazes him at school on The Daily Jimmy has had enough but rather than get his teachers or parents involved he gets science involved by having Nanobots become his personal protector I just love these characters so much he gets to stand up to Terry thanks to the Nanobots confronting him but things like always start to go haywire when the Nanobots start mistaking everything as threats against Jimmy and starts attacking other kids and teachers Jimmy is powerless in stopping them and it escalates to a point where everyone at school is terrified of him because of what the Nanobots can do it literally starts making them sing about how great Jimmy is that's just awful the Nanobots are both Jimmy's biggest fans and will do anything for him but also are unbeknownst to them his antagonists in the end Jimmy has to short-circuit them by pretending to fight himself which they don't know how to help or not to help and then their ship blows up I always love when these two characters are involved in an episode because it usually means the same bass story of them getting out of hand with them thinking that they're doing good kind of and then being defeated like this crime Sheen investigation a peaceful day at the park Sheen has some ice cream what could go wrong no not Sheen's Ultra Lord figure it's missing from where he left it Sheen is distraught and can't find it so he runs to Jimmy's lab to tell his friends that his ultralord toy has been stolen at the park and he starts recounting the events of what took place before The Disappearance Jimmy then gets some fresh drip for the investigation to help Sheen looking pretty fly in his Sherlock Holmes get up complete with a pipe for bubbles obviously thanks to Jimmy's heat detection device that can calculate who came through in the time the figurine was left alone coming up with a short list of suspects where now they start questioning each of them individually after Cindy gets interrogated and confesses on planning to feed the doll to her dog she reveals that the dog spit it up and they left Judy then confesses during her interrogation to thinking about throwing it away but because of the dog slobber on it she didn't do it so now we move on to Nick the cool kid who pushes back against the trio when they get to questioning but when Jimmy tests his DNA he shows up to not be the culprit but the only remaining suspect left was a squirrel and Carl's distraction with the squirrel is what ultimately LED Jimmy to deduce that it has to be the squirrel and they end up being right as the ultralord toy was in the squirrel's hole in the tree the whole time case closed I actually really enjoy episodes of shows that play into the whole whodunit mystery and how connects to who and to why resulting in so many things that seem like one thing but turn out to be something else completely it's a mystery if that sentence I said even made sense but regardless it's just a bunch of fun Journey to the Center of Carl Jimmy is a genius and sometimes he uses his powers for evil this time inventing a patch that instantly makes the user sick so they can get out of going to school after the end of the school day Carl and sheen come over to give Jimmy the homework for the day but he exposes to them the secret of the patch where Cindy and Libby over here and soon it has spread to all the students and now none of them attend school cool we get this at first depressing then concerning then depressing again scene of Miss foul not having a purpose without teaching and then pretending to be the student since they're not there at the same time the parents of the kids are all doing what they can to fix their kids illnesses in their own special ways and Jimmy's dad tries to homeschool Jimmy but when Jimmy has just had enough he can't remove the patch as it dissolves right into his hand following that it does the same for everyone else to make a cure they need to extract some mitochondria from someone's insides so Jimmy and Sheen hop in his hover car use the shrink ray and head right inside of Carl traveling through the booger field nose cavities down the throat and right into the acid pit of Carl's stomach but when Jimmy tries to perform an extraction on a germ the rest of them try to team up and fight back against Jimmy and Sheen ultimately outsmarting the germs the mission is quickly heading to an end as they make a sneezing Escape back out of Carl able to create a cure everyone returns to school and everyone's just traumatized from being sick so when the new student gets introduced to the class who has a cold they I'll run in Terror ugh Wilderness another really remarkable episode that I feel was played all the time back in the day but Hugh is taking Jimmy Carl and Sheen camping Jimmy's friends are only going because he is blackmailing them into doing so oh and Goddard isn't allowed to come because Hugh decrees no technology on this endeavor the group then ventured deep into the woods and seemed like they are starting to become lost but Hugh in High Spirits tasked the kids with setting up the camp while he looks for some fire supplies Jimmy of course isn't building a tent when he has a campsite in a box complete with digital Butler so when he returns back from the campsite and sees all this technology that was being used to do so and that Jimmy isn't listening to him and toughing it out in the wild he dismantles everything by removing a key component that results in everything exploding leaving them all with nothing but the night starts creeping in as the group gets more and more lost in the woods and with things seeming more hopeless they are cornered by a bear and holy early 2000 CGI what in the open season is this he's kind of cute now being cornered with no hope in sight Jimmy comes up with the tools to make a fire and has Hugh believe in himself to spark it and hey he does but the bear knocks it out of his hand so no luck there anyway it's just a waste of time last second before being attacked by the bear Goddard shows up and scares the bear away and Judy explains that she had had a tracker on them to find them we love a good random plot excuse to wrap things up also I'm not a fan of camping I paid for a bed and a house that I paid for why would I want to sleep on the ground in the middle of the woods but like if you do that's totally cool I support you I just don't want to go camping with you don't ask me party at neutrons this one's a classic story that we've seen a hundred times but it's a bunch of fun our boy Jimmy is working on this time accelerator this will be more important later like most early inventions we see at the start of episodes are but his parents are going out to see the new hit show Ducks the musical meaning Jimmy will be home alone and promises that no one will be coming over oh how quick This Promise is broken right away Carl and Sheen show up and suggest that he throws a wild party in Jimmy me being a good boy at first isn't into it but at the thought of Betty Quinlan coming to the party a girl that he has a crush on at school he quickly changes his tune and is into the idea of a party overall but of course things get pretty out of hand once every kid from school ends up over at Jimmy's Place Jimmy was trying to keep it real chill but the influence that Nick the cool kid has almost has everyone leave because the party is kinda lame Sheen says that it ain't happening and tells them about Jimmy's wild Gadgets in his room prompting them to stay and all the craziness starts hap
