Nickelodeon has greenlit a live-action television movie adaptation of one of its most popular animated series, The Fairly OddParents, it was announced today by Marjorie Cohn, President, Original Programming and Development, Nickelodeon/MTVN Kids and Family Group. A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner!, based on the hit series from creator Butch Hartman, will combine live-action with CG animation and follow the adventures of a now 23-year-old Timmy Turner (Drake Bell, Drake & Josh) who refuses to grow up in order to keep his fairy godparents. A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner! is set to premiere on Nickelodeon in 2011, and will be executive produced by Hartman and Lauren Levine, co-executive produced by Scott MacAboy, directed by Savage Steve Holland and written by Hartman and series’ former writer Scott Fellows (Big Time Rush) Ladies and Gentlemen, meet the new Cosmo. Looks amazing right?A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner! centers on Timmy Turner, but unlike the series, Timmy is no longer a 10 year old boy — he is 23, still lives at home and still attends the 5th grade! Timmy’s arrested development stems from his desire to keephis beloved fairy godparents, Cosmo (Jason Alexander, Seinfeld, as live-action Cosmo and Daran Norris, The Fairly OddParents, as animated Cosmo) and Wanda (Cheryl Hines, Curb Your Enthusiasm, as live-action Wanda and Susanne Blakeslee, The Fairly OddParents, as animated Wanda), because “Da Rules” dictates that godchildren lose their fairies when they grow up. But when Tootie, (Daniella Monet, Victorious) a formerly nerdy girl who’s always had a crush on Timmy, returns to town as a gorgeous grown-up, Timmy finds himself having very adult feelings for her. He must decide whether to grow up and be with the woman he loves, or continue acting like a child to keep the fairy godparents he adores. In the meantime, Hugh J. Magnate (Steven Weber, Wings, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip), a larger than life oil tycoon, turns his attention to capturing Timmy’s fairies and using their power to fuel his maniacal ambition.
You know what this means right?
Think about it, this could be Jimmy and Sheen at 23!
With the addition of this amazing looking (so far at least) live action movie we might get to see a live action Jimmy Neutron starring none other than Josh Peck, with a plot that is so ridiculous that it is AMAZING, just like this Fairly OddParents movie. With that thought on your minds they could make a live action Jimmy and Timmy Power Hour. I'll give you time to let that idea sink in.............................ok, now here is where the plot gets even better.
Are you ready?
Could this be the new Vicky the Baby Sitter? The power hour could end with them accidently destroying the universe and replacing it with a new one using the combined power of science and magic, leaving them as brothers in a 3D dimension and making Vicky their little sister. Which leads us into Nickelodeons true goal, a reboot of Drake and Josh labeled Jimmy and Timmy. But it doesn't end there! Tootie and Timmys love for each other keeps her alive through this whole saga and she gets reincarnated as the Movie Theater lady. She slightly remembers that she loves Timmy but not why or how much she loves him. All the mean while she hates jimmy for causing this (although she doesn't remember that reason for hating him).
Now that I have explained all that, leave comments on my ideas of where Nickelodeon is going with this whole live action movie stint!
