[[redirect:WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius]]Prequel to Nickelodeon CGI series ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius'', this 2001 movie was originally going to be simply a pilot episode for the series. Instead, the Nickelodeon executives were so impressed they gave it funding for cinematic release.

Ten-year-old boy genius Jimmy Neutron has an IQ of 210. He invents rockets in his spare time, for launching satellites to communicate with alien races. (Of course.) Jimmy also has a robotic dog called Goddard that can do [[DoAnythingRobot pretty much anything]], a disproportionately large head and [[AnimeHair a strange hairdo]] - a fact constantly brought to the surface by his rival, Cindy Vortex. He's just living his ordinary life (get up, get his robot to do his hair for him, travel to school via gum that turns into a transportation bubble, show off his shrink ray in Show And Tell, etc.) when the communication satellite he launched at the beginning of the movie is intercepted by some egg-shaped aliens named 'The Yolkians'. (The King is voiced by PatrickStewart, and his brother/comic sidekick Ooblar is voiced by Martin Short.)

[[Characters/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutron Character Sheet]] is here if wanted, but be warned - there are multiple spoilers for the series itself in there.

----
!!This movie provides examples of:
* {{Adorkable}}: Jimmy
* AdultsAreUseless: Taken to its literal extreme, ThereAreNoAdults, in the movie, when the entire grown-up population of Retroville is kidnapped by aliens.
* AliensSpeakingEnglish: The Yolkians.
* AllCGICartoon: Notable for being the first film and series animated entirely with over-the-counter programs.
* AnAesop: Your parents love you and they always want what's best for you.
* AnimeHair: Jimmy's. This is lampshaded pretty regularly.
* {{Area 51}}: Appeared in the movie.
* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: Played straight in the movie, Lampshaded in the series.
* BelligerentSexualTension: Jimmy and Cindy.
* BlackBestFriend: Libby to Cindy.
* BumblingDad: Hugh.
* CatchPhrase: Jimmy - "Gotta Blast"
* ComicTrio: Jimmy, Sheen, and Carl.
* DoAnythingRobot: Goddard.
* DuelingMovies: With ''RecessSchoolsOut'' (Though they didn't compete with each other- ''School's Out'' had already been released on video)
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Cindy's hair; pigtails in the movie, ponytail in the series that came after. All the kids had different character designs. Jimmy wore shorts and loafers instead of sneakers and jeans, Carl wore suspenders, and Sheen had collars on the end of his sleeves.
* FiveManBand:
** TheHero: Jimmy
** TheLancer: Cindy
** TheSmartGuy: Libby (played with; both Jimmy and Cindy are smarter than her, but her personality is intellectual)
** TheBigGuy: Sheen
** TheChick: Carl
** TeamPet: Goddard
* InferredHolocaust: No infants were present at the film's climax, which means they were left all alone in the town.... Some might have had older siblings, but can we expect all the kids to account for all the helpless babies?
* GirlsHaveCooties: Jimmy, Sheen, and Carl all exhibit this sentiment from time to time. Especially Jimmy, who engineers a man-eating plant to target girls with pigtails.
* LargeHam: Both King Goobot and Ooblar have their moments. "[[CrowningMomentOfFunny HELLO, TOAST!]]"
* MeaningfulEcho: "Now, you gotta admit, ''that'' is pretty cool."
* MeaningfulName: James 'Jimmy' Isaac Neutron is not surprisingly, interested in science.
** Sheen Estevez; a ShoutOut to Charlie Sheen and Martin/Emilio Estevez.
* MissingMom: Sheen. WordOfGod says his mother died when he was young - they don't say her cause of death, however.
* MissingTrailerScene: Pretty much everything in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmLoVgbJhk8 the teaser]]. Justified, as a lot of it is very early test footage. Most of the scenes got recycled for smaller shorts that premiered during commercial breaks on Nickelodeon around the time the film came out.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler:Jimmy sending the aliens information about Earth against his parents' orders is a very bad idea.]]
* PetTheDog: Rather than being condescending, as fictional and same real geniuses are wont to do, Jimmy is very nice to the rather dopey Carl and Sheen, not being a wet blanket when Carl shows him a picture of a frog or talks about wishing on a star.
* PunnyName: Ms. Fowl has a few bird-like attributes
* RetroUniverse: Retroville.
* RobotBuddy: Goddard.
* SassyBlackWoman: Libby.
* SchmuckBait
* ScienceHero: Jimmy, who solves the problems his inventions create.
* SciFiWritersHaveNoSenseOfScale
* SelfDestructMechanism: Goddard has one, though he can reassemble himself.
* SequelHook: Odd version used in one of the audio tracks. ''Leave it Up to Me'' includes half a verse about it, complete with the rather blatant lyrics:
--> '''Aaron Carter:''' "Big people listen up, relax now, we're equal; and if the money's right then we might make a sequel."
* ShoutOut:
** Nick describes ''TheBlairWitchProject'' to the rest of the kids at the camp on the asteroid.
** The first thing Jimmy does in his alien transmission is the [[Franchise/StarTrek Vulcan salute]].
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3F5SHvkERQ The second trailer's opening]] is a huge one to ''TopGun'', down to using "Danger Zone".
* SpaceDoesNotWorkThatWay
* SpecialEditionThemeSong: The Bowling For Soup theme used in TheMovie.
* {{Tsundere}}: Cindy. In the original movie she explains that she only became one to Jimmy, because she was jealous of his better grades and hated his tendency to show off his intelligence on every given occasion.
* UglyGuyHotWife: Hugh and Judy
* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: Averted, Retroville is in Texas.
