Jimmy Neutron, the feature that launches Nickelodeon's attempt to create a new children's franchise, plays like a cross between Rugrats and Dexter's Laboratory in outer space. Accompanied by his cyberdog Goddard, "boy genius" James Isaac Neutron (voiced by Debi Derryberry) invents fantastic devices that work only sporadically and with decidedly mixed results. The communications satellite he makes out of his mother's toaster allows for a race of gooey, egg-shaped aliens to kidnap the adults in Jimmy's town with the intent of sacrificing the parents to their chicken-god. Converting amusement park rides into spaceships, Jimmy saves the day, despite a few false starts and misadventures. Several of the characters feel like slightly older versions of Rugrats: smart-alecky Cindy (Carolyn Lawrence) resembles Angelica; sniffling nerd Carl (Rob Paulsen), Chuckie. The most original member of the cast is Sheen (Jeff Garcia), the maladroit devotee of superhero Ultralord--a very funny spoof of cartoon fandom. The characters look more like plastic toys than human beings. Instead of the thousands of individual hairs on the heads of the realistic figures in Final Fantasy, Jimmy sports a one-piece hairdo that recalls a soft-serve ice cream cone. The animation is weightless and the acting minimal, but the often quirky story carries the limited visuals and will appeal to elementary school kids. Rated G; suitable for ages 6 and older; cartoon violence, minor gross humor. --Charles Solomon

Unbeknownst to him a statellite he launches (okay it's the kitchen toaster but it works!) is picked up by alien species. In the dark of night the aliens fly their war ships-looking like a fleet of rubber chickens to earth and abduct all the parents in Jimmy's hometown of Retroville. So it's up to Jimmy to create a fleet of space ships from the rides at the town's new amusement park (hey he's a genius remember?) and launch them into orbit in a bid to rescue the abducted parent's of Retroville But Jimmy better hurry!

 Great Kids Movie for Parents, too April 14, 2010
Kindle-aholic
This movie gets 5 stars because everyone in my family enjoys watching it. Let's face it, some kids movies are torture for adults to sit through, but not this one. If your kids scare easy, they might not like the aliens or Poultra (giant monster-chicken). Funny (for kids and adults), fast-paced, all around great.

A great buy for the kid in all of us. A fun, family oriented type of movie.
 Typical Nickelodeon drivel December 26, 2009

While I believe not everything my children watch has to be educational, I do need it to be bearable. This adult found this movie unbearable to watch.

Paul H. Guttman (Incline Village, NV)
Jimmy is challenged to use his big brain to solve problems; a good role lession for kids. Jimmy also seems to have unlimited engineering and manufacturing resources creating stuff out of ... nothing. This is where complete fantasy takes over and much of what is portrayed is simply bad science. Kids in space ships with open cockpits and no space suits, for example, does not add to any understanding of space for even the youngest kids. Neuton is simply cartoon entertainment with good animations with only one take home message that it is cool to be smart.

The kids love this movie and watch it more than others. It is fun to see them laugh at the characters. I would buy more Jimmy Neutron videos know that it is not on tv as much.
