Created by Adam Pava and Tim [=McKeon=] to serve as Creator/CartoonNetwork's first foray into live-action programming, ''Re-Animated'' is a 2006 live-action/animated comedy MadeForTVMovie that serves as the pilot for ''Series/OutOfJimmysHead''.
During a class trip to Gollyworld, after being coerced by both the popular kids and his clout-chasing best friend, put-upon middle schooler Jimmy Roberts (Dominic James) finds himself searching one of the attractions for the frozen brain of deceased animator [[MrAltDisney Milt Appleday]]. When his half-hearted search has him encounter Sonny Appleday (Matt Knudsen), Milt's middle-aged son who is searching for the brain himself for some nefarious goal, Jimmy quickly flees and is hit by an amusement park train in the process. At an on-premises hospital, the doctors realize that the child requires an emergency brain transplant and, naturally, the only brain available is the one from the very much true urban legend. Jimmy survives the operation with his personality and memories intact, but he soon discovers he can now see all of Appleday's characters in real life.
Now badgered by Appleday's most famous creations -- namely the egotistical [[MockyMouse Golly Gopher]] (Creator/PaulReubens), his kind girlfriend Dolly Gopher (Ellen Greene), the show-witted Crocco the Alligator (Creator/BrianPosehn), stand-up comedian Tux the Penguin (Creator/TomKenny), and the silently violent Pickles and Prickles -- Jimmy struggles to navigate his new life between Sonny's schemes to steal his brain and Golly's plans to reclaim his greatness by having Jimmy become head of the animation studio.

Created by Adam Pava and Tim [=McKeon=] to serve as Creator/CartoonNetwork's first foray into live-action programming, ''Re-Animated'' is a 2006 live-action/animated comedy MadeForTVMovie that serves as the pilot for ''Series/OutOfJimmysHead''.
During a class trip to Gollyworld, after being coerced by both the popular kids and his clout-chasing best friend, put-upon middle schooler Jimmy Roberts (Dominic James) finds himself searching one of the attractions for the frozen brain of deceased animator [[MrAltDisney Milt Appleday]]. When his half-hearted search has him encounter Sonny Appleday (Matt Knudsen), Milt's middle-aged son who is searching for the brain himself for some nefarious goal, Jimmy quickly flees and is hit by an amusement park train in the process. At an on-premises hospital, the doctors realize that the child requires an emergency brain transplant and, naturally, the only brain available is the one from the very much true urban legend. Jimmy survives the operation with his personality and memories intact, but he soon discovers he can now see all of Appleday's characters in real life.
Now badgered by Appleday's most famous creations -- namely the egotistical [[MockyMouse Golly Gopher]] (Creator/PaulReubens), his kind girlfriend Dolly Gopher (Ellen Greene), the show-witted Crocco the Alligator (Creator/BrianPosehn), stand-up comedian Tux the Penguin (Creator/TomKenny), and the silently violent Pickles and Prickles -- Jimmy struggles to navigate his new life between Sonny's schemes to steal his brain and Golly's plans to reclaim his greatness by having Jimmy become head of the animation studio.
----
!!''Re-Animated'' contains examples of:
* AbusiveParents: Milt Appleday treated Sonny as his least favorite child, even though he was an only child.
* AllAnimationIsDisney: [[invoked]] [[MrAltDisney Milt Appleday]] created {{Captain Ersatz}}es of WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry and the Franchise/{{Transformers}}, even though he died in 1977 when ''Transformers'' came out in TheEighties.
* AnthropomorphicFood: Pickles.
* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Let's just say that a {{brain transplant}} is not only possible but can also be performed by just any doctor in only a few hours, without even cutting Jimmy's hair. After his entire brain has been removed from his noggin and replaced with a completely different brain, Jimmy retains his memories, his personality, his motor skills, and his sanity (well, most of it). For this to be even remotely possible, this donor would have to be exactly like Jimmy in every way except for hallucinating cartoon characters. {{Hand Wave}}d in intentionally implausible fashion by claiming they managed to save his "memory and personality glands".
* ArtisticLicensePhysics: Even if you'd be willing to believe that the injury Jimmy received would need a BrainTransplant, there's the problem that the train he's hit by is not nearly traveling fast enough to send Jimmy flying--the train would more likely push Jimmy aside; at best, it would crush Jimmy like a steamroller.
* AudienceAlienatingEra: [[invoked]] Sonny Appleday ended up putting Golly and his friends through a TotallyRadical stage in their lives once, complete with SpecialEffectsFailure and SynchroVox. Golly is mortified upon seeing this, and it's why Sonny was fired. [[LateToTheRealization 30 years later.]]
* BrainInAJar: Milt Appleday's brain was preserved in a lunch cooler for thirty years.
* BrainTransplant: Jimmy is hit by a train and the only way to save him is transplanting the brain of the company founder.
* BrokenAesop: Jimmy is portrayed as being selfish and unfaithful to his friends when he spends more time with his cartooning career than with Craig. All well and good, but nobody seemed to care that Craig was pretty much treating Jimmy like dirt throughout the story, and constantly using him as a lackey so he could get in with the popular kids.
* BumblingDad: Jimmy's dad. He's a complete {{manchild}} whose EstablishingCharacterMoment shows him eating sugary cereal and laughing at cartoons when he was supposed to be taking Jimmy to school. He's also shown to be incredibly goofy on occasions, such as drawing a woman's face on his stomach and making it talk to Jimmy.
* CementShoes: Prickles and Pickles do this to Jimmy to stop him from giving up his seat to a rude classmate.
* DastardlyWhiplash: Sonny, ''in spades''. Even [[Film/TheGreatRace Professor Fate]] [[EveryoneHasStandards would tell him to tone it down a little]].
* DeusExMachina: Jimmy's alien half-sister Yancy [[spoiler:zaps Sonny out of existence at the end.]] She mentions having some powers, like receiving AM radio, but nothing like that.
* DealWithTheDevil: The plot gets set in motion after Jimmy agrees to letting the toons help him stick up for himself, in return for making them famous again.
* ExtremeDoormat: Jimmy is shown to be this case for everyone at his school (even his best friend Craig!) due to his inability to stand up for himself.
--> '''Tux:''' Poor Jimmy, you should really change your name to "Matt". Because you're getting walked all over! Zing!
* FreudianExcuse: Being neglected by his father and seen as his "least favorite son" despite being an only child, it's no wonder Sonny's not exactly sane.
* HairReboot: Despite having brain surgery, Jimmy's hair is perfectly intact.
* HypocriticalHumor:
-->'''Golly:''' Aw, don't worry about Craig, that guy only cares about himself, now Golly, let's get back to making me famous!
* IllogicalSafe: The toons introduce themselves after jumping out of a safe [[AnvilOnHead that crashed on Jimmy's head]].
* InspiredBy: The whole "founder's brain hidden in the theme park" angle was based on an urban legend which involved Creator/WaltDisney's body being cryogenically frozen after he died and hidden within the ''Pirates of the Caribbean'' attraction at Disneyland.
* ItsAllAboutMe:
** Golly was already egotistical, but he gets worse when he sees how the more recent cartoons damaged his public image.
** Craig too, he constantly uses Jimmy for his own advantages and isn't interested in what he has to hear and treats him more like his play toy rather than a friend.
* {{Jerkass}}: Both Craig and Golly start out like this. [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold They get better later]].
* JerkassHasAPoint: Golly is an egotistical jackass at his worse, but he points out Jimmy's inability to say no to him, making Jimmy come to the realization that Robin was right about him.
* KnowsAGuyWhoKnowsAGuy: When Jimmy's classmates try to force him to search for Milt Appleday's brain, one of them invokes this trope in order to convince him that the urban legend is true.
* {{Manchild}}: Jimmy's dad. He's too preoccupied eating sugary cereal and laughing at cartoons to remember to finish getting dressed or to take his son to school (where he also works).
* MixtapeOfLove: In the pilot movie ''Re-Animated'', Jimmy decides to impress Robin by burning a mix CD, something that his cartoon friends, who are out of touch with modern culture, have never heard of.
* {{Narcissist}}: Milt Appleday.
--> '''Milt Robot:''' Hiya, kids! I'm Milt Appleday, ''the greatest man who ever lived!''
* NegativeContinuity: [[WordOfGod There's an interesting bit of information one of the producers gives out on the commentary of the DVD.]] The cartoons only exist in Jimmy's mind and therefore cannot manipulate or touch objects. This is apparently forgotten in the series. See NotSoImaginaryFriend below.
** There's also Milt's death, which is said to have happened 30 years prior to the movie. However, it's treated as though he only died last year, since Sonny's still somehow the president until Jimmy comes along, people are still watching Milt's cartoons, and the theme park is still the most popular thing in the movie's universe. Even still, there are still elements such as Milt's surgeon holding the brain for all that time that make it more convoluted than it would have been otherwise.
%% * NiceCharacterMeanActor: AnimatedActor Golly fits this.
* NonindicativeName: Crocco is actually an alligator.
* OcularGushers: Dolly "floods" Jimmy's kitchen this way upon coming to the conclusion he hates her.
* RescueRomance / ChainedToARailway: Happens twice. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgnpCRIhQsk The first time is with Golly and Dolly shown in a cartoon at the beginning of the film]], and later done near the end [[spoiler:with Jimmy and Robin.]]
* RunningGag: All Belgians are really good jugglers, for some reason. Also, one of Jimmy's classmates has many pets, including a python, a llama, and a goat, among other animals.
* ShoutOut: During the first minutes of the movie, Logan can be seen playing a UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance in class.
* SimpletonVoice: Crocco, courtesy of Creator/BrianPosehn.
* SynchroVox: Used briefly. Overlaps with in-universe SpecialEffectsFailure when we see the [[TotallyRadical ''Golly Raps'']] cartoon that Sonny created.
* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: Lampshaded. Jimmy at first mistakes Dolly for a second as Golly before he notices her bow.
* TieInCereal: {{Invoked|Trope}}. To showcase Jimmy's dad as a ManChild, he is [[EstablishingCharacterMoment introduced]] watching a Golly Gopher cartoon eating a Golly Gopher cereal called "Sugar Cube Crunchems". As the name would imply, the cereal is basically just [[ChocolateFrostedSugarBombs a bowl of sugar-cubes]] ''that he pours a whole bag of sugar onto.''
* WellDoneSonGuy: It's implied that what Sonny really wants is his father to not see him as that "little booger".
* WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief: A kid gets a brain transplant and ends up seeing cartoons in his head, and he apparently doesn't ''at least'' get some serious psychiatric treatment?
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Sonny, if you really think about it. He was seen as a screw-up by his father, pushed around by his coworkers and despite his attempts to carry on his father's legacy, he was seen as a failure and a joke for his initial (admittedly bad) attempt. It's hard to blame him for losing his mind the way he did.
* WouldHurtAChild: Sonny has no problem decapitating or running a 12-year-old over with a train.
