History Series / OutOfJimmysHead

The series follows the misadventures of Jimmy Roberts (Dominic James), a middle schooler who received the brain of beloved cartoonist [[MrAltDisney Milt Appleday]] after a train accident, which has resulted in him being able to see all of Milt's creations in the real world. With the help of his best friend Craig and his crush Robin, Jimmy must learn to navigate the perils of adolescence while trying to handle whatever wacky antics his new animated mental roommates are up to that day, with said roommates including the egotistical [[MockyMouse Golly Gopher]] (Creator/PaulReubens), Golly's kind girlfriend Dolly Gopher (Creator/EllenGreene), the show-witted Crocco the Alligator (Creator/BrianPosehn), stand-up comedian Tux the Penguin (Creator/TomKenny), and the silently violent Pickles and Prickles.

* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: A few characters go through this to some extent, but the biggest example is Robin who goes from just being Appleday's biggest fan to the VoiceOfReason for Jimmy whenever he starts acting like a dingleberry. She's also not afraid to join in on any fun Jimmy might be having, and she ''is'' shown to not like it when she's treated differently due to being a girl.

* CompanionCube: Mittens, the bag of cash.

* EarlyBirdCameo: Golly first briefly appeared in a ''Film/SpaceJam''-inspired poster for “Astro Slam” in the TV movie ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeforImaginaryFriends'' TV Movie ''Good Wilt Hunting'', with creators Adam Pava and Tim [=McKeon=] having worked on the show as regular staff writers.

* LaughTrack: Episodes began making use of these starting the eighth episode, "Skate Night", with them also being added into the reruns of earlier ones.

* RaceLift: Craig and Robin were changed from Japanese-American (played by Chinese-American actors) to African-American.
* RogerRabbitEffect: The animated characters were added during post-production, being done in UsefulNotes/AdobeFlash and animated in-house at Cartoon Network Studios

* TookALevelInKindness: Craig and Golly are now [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold jerks with a heart of gold, following from the events of the movie.

The series follows the misadventures of Jimmy Roberts (Dominic James), a middle schooler who received the brain of beloved cartoonist [[MrAltDisney Milt Appleday]] after a train accident, which has resulted in him being able to see all of Milt's creations in the real world. With the help of his best friend Craig and his crush Robin, Jimmy must learn to navigate the perils of adolescence while trying to handle whatever wacky antics his new animated mental roommates are up to that day, with said roommates including the egotistical [[MockyMouse Golly Gopher]] (Creator/PaulReubens), Golly's 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.

* NotSoImaginaryFriend: Even though WordOfGod states the toons can't interact with the world outside of Jimmy's imagination in the commentary for the pilot film, they do this several times throughout the series proper. Examples include "Detention", where Golly digs a tunnel to help the kids escape school, and "Sleepover", where Crocco bites Yancy's arm. [[MindScrew Try not to figure out how any of that is possible]].

* WidgetSeries: You could probably count the content in this show that actually makes sense on one hand.

Meanwhile, Milt's least favourite and only child, Sonny Appleday, wants his father's brain so he can create cartoons like his father [[MissingStepsPlan and rule the world]] after being ousted from the company for his own lack of creativity, and has taken up residence in Jimmy's home under the thinly-veiled guise of a local college student as a means to that end. Rounding out the cast is Jimmy's dimwitted guidance counselor father, his mother who is regularly off-planet working as a 9-to-5 astronaut, and an alien older sister. Yes, even when the cartoons aren't around, [[LiveActionCartoon it's that kind of show]].

* ArtShift: A few episodes had Jimmy completely going into the cartoon world briefly to solve a problem.

* [[strike:Eighties]] [[EightiesHair Aughties Hair]]: Jimmy. Justified since kids actually have hair like that.
* AwardBaitSong: Parodied during a skating lesson in the cartoon world in the episode "Skate Night," [[VocalDissonance turns out Crocco was singing it.]]
* ButtMonkey: Tux, due to telling unfunny jokes and is usually followed by boo's and tomatoes thrown at him.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Jimmy's parents.

* CommutingOnABus: Unlike the rest of Jimmy's family, Louisa (his mom) only appeared on a recurring basis. The explanation was that she was away at work.

* CuckooNest: In one episode, Jimmy does a talent show performance with Tux, complete with music, animated flowers and special effects and all sorts of wacky imagery...which only ''Jimmy'' can see, hear or interact with. The audience is left watching him singing and dancing with nothing and no music in the background, and they're as confused as you'd expect them to be.

* DisproportionateRetribution: At the end of “Mascot”, Jimmy gives his dad a Golly version of the Crocco suit that nearly got him killed......all because he embarrassed him in gym class.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Golly first briefly appeared in a Film/SpaceJam-inspired poster for “Astro Slam” in the TV movie [[WesternAnimation/FostersHomeforImaginaryFriends Good Wilt Hunting]].

* EveryoneHasStandards: In the episode where Sonny creates a pair of clones, the two of them discuss the most glaring hole in Sonny's overall plan; even if he ''were'' to get his hands on Jimmy's brain, he'd most likely get arrested shortly afterwards for killing a child. The two clones proceed to enact their ''own'' plan that'll leave someone else to take the wrap, whilst they swipe the brain in all the confusion.

* IncrediblyLamePun: Tux's speciality.
* LaughTrack: In reruns. Initial broadcasts lacked them.
* LawyerFriendlyCameo: All the characters Jimmy sees are parodies of the classic [[Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon Disney]] characters. Golly and Dolly Gopher are Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Crocco the Alligator is Goofy, Tux is perhaps supposed to be Donald Duck, and Prickles and Pickles are... WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry, maybe?
** Which is bizarre because Cartoon Network owns the last two. It was probably done for consistency (there's also the fact that T&J are MGM).

* MrAltDisney: Milt Appleday, Sonny's father.
* NotSoImaginaryFriend: Even though WordOfGod says the toons can't interact with the world outside of Jimmy's imagination, several times they do, such as in "Detention", where Golly digs a tunnel to help the kids escape school, and "Sleepover", where Crocco bites Yancy's arm and [[{{Slapstick}} Dolly gets brutally trampled by a crowd]]. [[MindScrew Try not to figure out how any of that is possible]].
* OnlySaneMan: Yancy and Jimmy.

* RaceLift: Craig and Robin were changed from Asian to African-American.
** Specifically, from Japanese-played-by-Chinese.
%% * RogerRabbitEffect

** It lasted long enough in Canada to have an episode that has Golly briefly appearing with his own [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Lagann]] unit.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: "Yancy" or "Yancey"?

* TomboyishName: Yancy, an AlwaysMale name. Also, she's a space alien. It was probably an attempt at making an alien version of the name Nancy.
* TooDumbToLive: Basically everyone except the [[OnlySaneMan only sane people]] Jimmy and Yancy.

* TookALevelInDumbass: Jimmy's dad arguably got even dumber on the show.
* TookALevelInKindness: Craig and Golly, at least compared to the movie.

* ToothyBird: Tux has teeth in this series but not in the movie.

* WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief: Even worse than the movie; all that was mentioned for this trope above is still the case, plus Yancy is Jimmy's alien sister. There's also the [[CasualInterstellarTravel casual lunar travel]]. Not surprisingly, these [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight are rarely, if ever, commented on]].

The movie and the series is notorious for being among the first of Cartoon Network's experiments with original live-action fare. Despite mixed critical reception, the show performed well enough to lay the foundations for future live-action projects at the network, such as the reality show programming block Creator/CNReal and the scripted series such as ''Series/TowerPrep''.

''Out of Jimmy's Head'' is a Creator/CartoonNetwork live action/animated sitcom, acting as a continuation of the 2006 TV Movie ''Film/ReAnimated''. The series lasted for two seasons, running from September 2007 to May 2008.

Following the success of Creator/CartoonNetwork's two-hour [[NetworkDecay live-action]]/animation original MadeForTVMovie ''Re-Animated'' comes ''Out of Jimmy's Head''. The story continues directly from the film with Jimmy Roberts, who's received a brain transplant after a train collision at the famous Gollyworld theme park (and somehow is not only fully functional, but has grown back his long, shaggy hair almost immediately thereafter). Jimmy ends up receiving the frozen brain of famous cartoonist [[MrAltDisney Milt Appleday]], which leads to Jimmy being able to see all of Milt's cartoon characters in the real world - Golly Gopher, his girlfriend Dolly Gopher, Crocco the Alligator, Tux the Penguin and Pickles and Prickles. Milt's son and dastardly evil resident villain, Sonny Appleday, wants his father's brain so he can create cartoons like his father.

Jimmy's family have allowed Sonny to take up residence under the impression that he's a college student, so now he plots endlessly to nab Jimmy's brain with a bunch of "evil" schemes. The family itself consists of a middle school principal for a dad, an astronaut for a mother, and an alien sister. Jimmy is best friends with Craig, who fruitlessly tries to be part of the cool crowd, and crushes on Craig's sister Robin, an obedient overachiever.

The series itself lasted for only two seasons; some believe it was due to the Writer's Strike of 2007, but all of the episodes were finished by then. The producers only wanted to make twenty episodes of the series in the first place, as well (so they claim anyway). Ratings and critical reception of the show were mediocre, partly due to viewers being skeptical of having live action shows on an animation channel, among other things. Despite this, the show may have influenced Cartoon Network to gain more live-action shows like ''Series/LevelUp''.

!''BAM! I didn't see that train, now I got tropes coming out of my brain'':
[[foldercontrol]]

!!The movie, ''Re-Animated'', contains examples of:
[[folder: The movie]]
* 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.
