Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius is a 2001 American computer-animated science

fiction comedy film produced by Nickelodeon Movies, O Entertainment

and DNA Productions, and distributed by Paramount Pictures. The film

was directed by John A. Davis and written by Davis and producer Steve

Oedekerk. Its voice cast includes Debi Derryberry, Patrick Stewart,

Martin Short, Rob Paulsen and Jeffrey Garcia. The film follows the

title character, a schoolboy with super-genius powers, who must save

all of the parents of the world from a race of egg-like aliens known

as the Yolkians.The idea for Jimmy Neutron was first created by Davis

in the 1980s, in which he wrote a script for a short film titled

Runaway Rocketboy and starring a prototype character for Jimmy named

Johnny Quasar. After coming across the abandoned script several years

later, Davis decided that it would be a good idea to revisit it and

retool it as a computer-animated short and potential TV series. A

40-second demo was animated using LightWave 3D and gained popularity

at the 1995 SIGGRAPH convention where it was shown off, grabbing the

attention of Oedekerk and leading DNA Productions to develop an

extended TV Pilot. After a successful pitch to Nickelodeon, a

13-minute-long TV episode was developed, and Nickelodeon, impressed

with both the character and the 3D technology, raised the possibility

making both a TV series and a full-length feature film. Davis, in

turn, suggested that the film be made first, so that the development

team could create the assets at theatrical quality and reuse them in

the TV series. Production officially began in early 2000, and was

completed in roughly 24 months, with the studio considerably raising

its staff count and expanding its studio space. Animation was done

entirely using commercial software, including LightWave and

project:messiah.Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius was released on December 21,

2001. Backed by a strong pre-release campaign, the film was a box

office success, grossing $103 million worldwide. The film was

nominated for the inaugural Academy Award for Best Animated Feature in

2001, ultimately losing to Shrek. It was the only animated Nickelodeon

film to ever be nominated in that category (as well as the first

Nickelodeon movie in general to be nominated) for nearly a decade

until Rango (2011) was nominated and won.The film served as the pilot

to the Nickelodeon television series called The Adventures of Jimmy

Neutron, Boy Genius, premiered on Nickelodeon July 20, 2002 and ended

on November 25, 2006. Four years later, another spin-off series called

Planet Sheen was produced, focusing on Jimmy's friend Sheen Estevez.

This series premiered on October 2, 2010 and ended on February 15,

2013.
