The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius

Jimmy_Neutron_title.jpg
The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius is a spin-off of the Oscar-nominated computer-animated movie; Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, first officially aired in September 2002. This is also the first computer-animated Nicktoon. The series is animated by DNA Productions in Dallas, Texas, as was the movie. A television movie, Win, Lose and Kaboom, formerly named You Bet Your Life Form, aired on Nickelodeon USA in early July 2004.
The show is about a kid inventor named James Isaac Neutron (voiced by Debi Derryberry) who gets in and out of trouble by inventing far-out gadgets. Especially notable is the fact that the "brainy nerd" is the hero. His main catchphrase seems to be "Brain Blast!", which usually comes after Jimmy comes up with an idea, accompanied by a visual of the activity in his brain.
The show started out as a movie, which was advertised by showing Jimmy Neutron mini-episodes which can now only be seen on Nicktoons TV.

Characters

Besides the title character, the show's characters (and their voice actors) include:
- Hugh Neutron, Jimmy's father. Somewhat oblivious and childish, obscured by his uncanny abilities as a salesman and toy inventor. Also practices Tai Chi. Loves pie, butter pats, and ducks. He invented a holiday based upon pie, known as Pule (Combination of pie and Yule). He's cool, cool, cool as can be. He was once one of the Acorn Lad scouts at a young age, and even rememebers the song they used to sing. Like many of the Neutron characters Hugh has his humerous obsessions. Was elected the esteemed name of Towel Boy in
Junior High. Voiced by Mark DeCarlo.
- Judy Neutron, Jimmy's mother. Most likely where Jimmy gets his brains. She is amuzed with the many antics of her husband. Voiced by Megan Cavanagh.
- Goddard, Jimmy's robotic dog, equal parts tool and friend. Voiced by Frank Welker, and named after Robert Goddard, rocket pioneer.
- Carlton "Carl" Ulysses Wheezer, Jimmy's neurotic, llama-loving friend. According to canon, Carl was born in 1991. Carl is known as nervous, timid and suffering from hypochondria; at times, he tries to overcome these personality traits in order to appear "cooler" around Jimmy and mutual friend Sheen Estevez. When his parents expanded their cable lineup, Carl found himself focusing on a channel devoted to llamas; he has adored them ever since, going so far as to join a fan club, the Llama Love Society. He is allergic to just about everything, perhaps including
Illamas. Has an odd taste in women and an even stranger crush on Mrs. Neutron. His blood type is O Negative. Voiced by Rob Paulsen.
- Sheen Juarerra Estevez, Jimmy's hyperactive friend, is twelve years old, making him two years older than Jimmy and Carl. The three are in the same school grade because Sheen was held back. Sheen's wardrobe largely consists of a blue t-shirt and jeans. The t-shirt depicts UltraLord, a popular superhero within the show that Sheen is obsessed with. Sheen is of Mexican ethnicity, but does not have a noticeable accent. The name "Sheen Estevez" appears to be a reference to the Estevez family of actors — specifically the two members, Ramón and Carlos, who use the screen name Sheen (Martin and Charlie Sheen, respectively). Voiced by Jeffrey Garcia, who also won an Annie award for the role.
- Cynthia "Cindy" Vortex, Jimmy's rival. Has shown obvious but reluctant friendship toward Jimmy. Usually calls Jimmy Nerdtron or some other such name. In the hour long crossover special, The Jimmy Timmy Power Hour, Cindy develops feelings for Timmy Turner. Voiced by Carolyn Lawrence.
- Liberty "Libby" Danielle Folfax, Cindy's best friend. Loves music and
experiences withdrawls when not constantly exposed. Somewhat intellectual, and obsessed with electronic gadgets. Also Sheen's girlfriend, by some twist of fate. Voiced by Crystal Scales.
- Ms. Winifred Fowl, 5th grade teacher at Retroville's middle school. Attracts the oddest men: was married to a werewolf at some point, danced with President Woodrow Wilson and once dated Thomas Edison after Jimmy brought the famed scientist to the future. Resembles a large bird both in her hooked nose and tendency to squawk. Voiced by Andrea Martin.
- Nick Dean, the "cool" kid at school, of Latino descent. Often seen on a skateboard, doing dangerous tricks. Voiced by Candi Milo.

Episodes
Before the Nicktoon Jimmy Neutron aired, it was going to be a movie. This was advertised with mini-episodes of the present-day show, which followed almost the same plot. Many of these episodes were re-made in a 11-minute format for the actual TV series. This "show" didn't run for very long, yet it gave Jimmy Neutron's gadget list a head start.
