🍿 My Opinion / Mi Opinión 🍿

A few days ago I shared with you my memories about the Jimmy series, and obviously I couldn't stop sharing the movie as well because it's the beginning, so to speak, of the series that I like so much and brings back so many good memories, just like I remember this movie the first time I saw it in the cinema with my parents, I really enjoyed it quite a bit because I thought it was quite good and entertaining. I really liked the work of the voice actors in general because each one manages to give a great touch of humor and characteristic to each character, which is very good and give a special touch to the movie.

Hace pocos días compartí con ustedes mis recuerdos acerca de la serie de Jimmy, y obviamente no podía dejar de compartir también la película ya que es el comienzo por así decirlo de la serie que tanto me gusta y me trae tantos buenos recuerdos, al igual que esta película la cual recuerdo que la primera vez que la vi en el cine en compañía de mis padres realmente la disfruté bastante ya que me pareció bastante buena y entretenida. Me gustó mucho el trabajo de los actores de doblaje en general ya que cada uno logra darle un gran toque de humor y característico a cada personaje, lo cual es muy bueno y le da un toque especial a la película.

Although I don't really like computer animation, the one in this movie really seemed very good to me, it has a fairly wide color palette ideal for this type of children's movies, and I also really liked the design of all the characters. My favorite character is Cindy, because she really seemed funny to me and her quite sarcastic character made me laugh, and it always seemed to me that despite being so competitive and sometimes evil with Jimmy, they were both a good couple. I found the story quite creative, original and entertaining and I remember that my favorite scene since it made me laugh a lot is when Jimmy makes an alien believe that his dog Goddard is a bomb because when doing the "dead man" trick he explodes, so by speaking through a loudspeaker he manages to scare the alien who then runs away. And another one that I remember made me laugh a lot is the dance that all the parents do under mind control to welcome Poultra. I really think the movie in general is very good, and an excellent introduction to the cartoon that later aired for several years on Nickelodeon.

Aunque no me gusta mucho la animación por computadora la de esta película realmente me pareció muy buena, tiene una paleta de colores bastante amplia ideal para este tipo de películas infantiles, y el diseño de todos los personajes también me gustó bastante. Mi personaje favorito es Cindy, ya que realmente me parecía graciosa y me hacía reír su carácter bastante sarcástico, además siempre me pareció que a pesar de ser tan competitiva y en ocasiones malvada con Jimmy ambos hacían buena pareja. La historia me pareció bastante creativa, original y entretenida y recuerdo que mi escena favorita ya que me hizo reír mucho es cuando Jimmy le hace creer a un extraterrestre que su perro Goddard es una bomba ya que al hacer el truco del "muerto" el explota, así que hablando por un altavoz logra asustar al extraterrestre el cual luego sale corriendo. Y otra que recuerdo me dio mucha risa es el baile que hacen todos los padres bajo control mental para recibir a Poultra. Realmente la película en general me parece muy buena, y una excelente introducción para la comiquita que transmitieron luego durante varios años en Nickelodeon.

To finish, I would say that it's one of the best films that Nickelodeon has released and a very good introduction to the cartoon, and although it is aimed primarily at children, it's very good to be enjoyed by the whole family because it manages to be quite entertaining. and like the series, I remember it with great affection for being part of my childhood and I would like to recommend it to all those who still do not know it, I hope you like it as much as I do.

Para finalizar, diría que es una de las mejores películas que ha lanzado Nickelodeon y una muy buena introducción para la comiquita, y aunque está dirigida más que todo al público infantil es muy buena para ser disfrutada por toda la familia ya que logra ser bastante entretenida y al igual que la serie, la recuerdo con mucho cariño por ser parte de mi niñez y me gustaría recomendársela a todos los que todavía no la conocen, espero que les guste tanto como a mí.

When I read “Movies that rocked my childhood” it is inevitable that a whole ocean of movies comes to my mind, from Disney or Pixar classics to the small but flashy first steps of Dreamworks.

However, if I had to choose a single example, the film that rocked my childhood would not be any of those created by those production houses, on the contrary, it would be an offbeat piece from Nickelodeon that totally shaped my interests and taste for a considerable portion of my life: Jimmy Neutron - Boy Genius.

Directed by John A. Davis and released in 2001 under the Paramount Pictures label, Jimmy Neutron is a fairly simple and fun film that knows how to bring the MTV philosophy to a child audience: irreverent, fast-paced and full of lots of imagination.

Its mere existence is nostalgic to me, serving as a reflection of a time when computer animation was seen as "less than anything else" Jimmy Neutron managed to land an unexpected Oscar nomination (Which being honest, it's not that he deserved it but that they hadn't enough options to nominate films of better quality) premiering the new category of “Best animated film” together with Shrek (Who took the award) and Monsters Inc.

Jimmy Neutron reminds me of simpler times, begging my grandmother to let me go rent (Again) his VHS to laugh at the jokes I already heard hundreds of times, every frame, every dialogue, every plot point of this movie is etched in my brain.

But really, what is it that produces this effect on me?

Well, for those who have never had the pleasure of seeing it: in fairly short terms, the plot of this film shows us how the parents of all the kids in Retroville are kidnapped by a strange alien race, who decide to use these adults for their own entertainment.

For Jimmy (A young man of about 10 years old who is fascinated by science and inventions) and his friends, this begins as great news: they do not have to deal with the responsibilities that adults impose on them and they are free to do what they please. Do you want to pee in the shower? Go ahead, do you want to stay awake doing pranks? Go ahead, do you want to eat ice cream without stopping? go ahead… the first portion of Boy Genius exists as a utopian show that can appeal to any child, but progressively the walls of this fantasy begin to crumble.

For such a simple and "dumb" movie, Jimmy Neutron is not afraid to make his characters deal with the consequences of their own actions and desires, in the first instance, of course, the boys of retroville succumb to their most primitive pleasures, totally ignoring that the rules established by adults exist for a reason... and that is the point of the rest of the film.

The children decide to go to space to rescue their parents from the aliens, while they understand that the limitations they imposed on them were absolutely necessary.

For me it is a surprisingly effective way to transmit a lesson, without the need to fall into boring sermons that end up alienating the little ones.

Its animation is quite simple (and I admit that it has aged badly), its plot goes through several very predictable points and there are certainly many more quality stories within the same genre.

Ironically, it is in this simplicity that I find my absolute passion for this film, a work that manages to reconnect me with my childhood, while giving us a story that we can enjoy regardless of our age. A window to the early 2000s with all the good and bad that it entails.
