Still a great animated film and a great show and back when Nickelodeon had great cartoons other than SpongeBob I remember watching this as a child in the mid 2000s and I still miss it being shown surprised how it got cancelled to soon in 2006 it was such a great series the animation was unique it was like something similar to over the hedge showing real life imagery mixed with cartoon designs this along with SpongeBob, and fairy odd parents, are still my favorite shows on Nickelodeon and it's sad how they cancelled this and odd parents. And SpongeBob (which is the same age as this ) is still being made into episodes is the only good show on Nickelodeon right now. It would have been interesting and I would be curious what it would look like if neither jimmy neutron or fairy odd parents were still being made. I really hope they would show episodes of this show again it's just as good as SpongeBob the relationship between neutron and his friends Carl and sheen is comparable to that of SpongeBob and Patrick. It's such nostalgia to see a film from 2001 that started a great series that has elements of alien and sci fi child prodigy of a kid as a genius like phineas and ferb. It's still a great show to watch and it's sad to see that they don't make ‘em like this anymore

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Wonderful, imaginative and emotional. It's almost like 'Home Alone' with a side of 'The great mouse detective', and even some E.T. All rolled into one Enjoyable adventure that is defiantly a delight to all.

Decent Films

Like a rollicking adventure from the fevered boyhood imagination of Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes: the gooey aliens, the boy-genius gadgetry. Except with Jimmy it's real.

Rated: B+

Sean Axmaker

Stream on Demand

For all their rambunctious energy and rebellion, these kids are innocents out of a 1950s sitcom and the film steers clear of the adult in-jokes and bodily function humor that litters so many recent family films.

Lacks sufficient sophistication to appeal to adults. The "wow" factor of CGI animation has long since diminished.
