The Jimmy Timmy Power Hour (2004)

The first TV movie premiered on Nickelodeon on May 7, 2004.

Struggling with his science project, Timmy Turner wishes that he could be sent to the best laboratory in any universe. When his fairy godparents, Cosmo and Wanda, fulfill this wish, Timmy is sent to Retroville, the fictional universe of child prodigy Jimmy Neutron, who's sent to Dimmsdale in Timmy's universe when he activates a magical transporter created by Cosmo and Wanda. As they attempt to return to their respective settings, the characters interact with the various side characters of each other's universe and Timmy becomes romantically involved with Jimmy's classmate, Cindy Vortex. But Timmy's meddling with Goddard, Jimmy's robotic dog, and the seizure of the magical transporter from Jimmy by Mr. Crocker, Timmy's insane teacher, both threaten each character's world in turn.[1]

The Jimmy Timmy Power Hour 2: When Nerds Collide (2006)

The second TV movie premiered on Nickelodeon on January 16, 2006.

Timmy and Jimmy enter each other's worlds for a second time, both wanting to ask Cindy out to their school dance celebrating Friday the 13th. In an attempt to gain Cindy's affections, the two engage in a battle of smarts that sends Jimmy and his friends to Dimmsdale. As Jimmy seeks to prove that Timmy is a fraudulent scientist, Cosmo and Wanda struggle to keep their existence a secret from the people of Retroville. Meanwhile, Professor Calamitous, who is of Jimmy's universe, unleashes a surge of anti-fairies from Fairy World that threatens the rotation of Timmy's Earth. Head fairy Jorgen Von Strangle of Timmy's universe gets angered by Jimmy's and Timmy's friends and their manipulation of fairy magic.[2]

The Jimmy Timmy Power Hour 3: The Jerkinators (2006)

The third and final TV movie premiered on Nickelodeon on July 21, 2006.

In their third and final encounter, Timmy and Jimmy make amends while trying to defeat the enemies from their own universes—including a monster that they concoct together—while accidentally rejecting their respective friends in the process, including Cindy. Initially, they are unable to make the monster evil enough to fight them properly, but when they succeed, he absorbs Cosmo and Wanda's magic and Jimmy's intelligence, and begins destroying both children's universes.[3]

Production

Each film in the Jimmy Timmy Power Hour series combines the 2D hand-drawn traditional animation of the Fairly OddParents and the 3D computer-generated imagery animation of The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius. This blending of animation techniques was a technical challenge for the studios responsible for both series, according to Keith Alcorn—director of the Jimmy Neutron production company DNA Productions.[4]

Release and reception

According to Variety, the first film was seen by nearly five million viewers on its Nickelodeon premiere, on May 7, 2004.[5] Terry Kelleher of People gave the first film three stars out of four, calling it a "blast of creativity" although hard to follow.[6] The Washington Post similarly gave it praise.[7] The network considered it a success.[8] The second film, aired January 16, 2006, was seen by nearly 5.5 million viewers, according to The New York Times.[9] The third and final film aired July 21, 2006.[3]
