Fairly Oddparents Movie...Live Action.

I have a feeling that they came up with having Timmy as a 23 year old as an excuse to cast Drake Bell in a film, but why The Fairly Oddparents?

Because someone had an idea related to the show and wanted to make a movie out of it?

I have to wonder out loud if there would be people so upset about this movie if it didn't involve a Ship Sinking plot?

This isn't even the first time Fairly Odd Parents has gone live action (first time its been a full episode/movie though).

Drake returning to Nick alone is enough to shatter ratings, and I don't even like him.

Its not thats it going live action that bothers me. Its that I feel that they could have gone out with a bigger bang.

Its not the final episode either. There is more FOP to come. All this really does is solve the question of who Timmy gets with (maybe), and I think that is why there are so many people up in arms about it. People aren't even complaining about the Smurfs movie this bad, and that is a FAR worse bastardization of its franchise than this.

Also there seem to be a lot of people complaining who aren't or never were FOP fans.

Damnit, I like Drake Bell, but why does he keep doing movies that he knows won't end well. Seriously dude, go do some serious drama or something. I want to see you do something that doesn't involve fart jokes.

We're going to spread this shit like Nutella.

Saw the trailor/commercial.

Yeah, it looks really bad, I just can't take something like seriously.

And the fairies look pretty much exactly as they did in the 3D video games and the Jimmy/Timmy cross overs. Makes me think they just re-use the models or something =/

Edit: Just saw the picture on the last page, Ok, they don't look exactly the same, but I hardly see a difference between the power hour models and these.

The models in this film are more slightly polished than the ones in the TV special- I'm sure they rebuilt them for scratch.

Looks ok to me. I would like it more if it were the finale.

It's going to be on in a few minutes where I live. I never really cared for the show, but this movie looks stupid in a So Bad, It's Good sort of way. I'm hoping to get a few laughs out of it.

RUINED FOREVER!!!!

They didn't use the typical Fairly Oddparents opening.

Well, at least they had the decency to make it non-canon...

I saw it.

It's not too bad, but it's not great either. I'll admit, I chuckled here and there.

Heh, it was about what I expected. Live action cartoons are amusing to me, and this film definitely fit the bill. It was a little strange, the actors really went over the top at some of the strangest moments, yet didn't seem emotionally invested at all in the main plot. It felt like the entire cast had ADHD and was just waiting for the entire thing to be over.

I know, that's kind of what I was hoping for to start with.

So... he needed to sacrifice his fairy odd parents in order to grow up.

And he just got them back anyway.

10/10 would rage again

If you find the text above offensive, don't look at it.

This was made. I hate life. It's literally like somewhat at Nick made a game to piss a lot of people off, and he succeed. Your seeing the image board that shall not be named right now?

Ugh. It does even matter. The creator basically said it's non-canon? So, why does this movie matter if it doesn't even exist in the show's own contiunity?

It's metafiction about metafiction about metafiction. More serious message: Don't you wish you watch everything that happens in the wo

Ignoring Nick this week and a few more weeks. I never even knew the film premiered today. I am happy.

Currently watching it right now. I'm surprised how close the actors are to their original animated selves and the goofy stunts and noises, but I can't get over the fact that Timmy is 23 and acting like a child.

It's deeply unsettling.

[up] It's supposed to be unsettling.

I was wondering if Crocker falling into the pit was a Hoist by His Own Petard.

Drake Bell seemed to be in his natural habitat playing an unsettling manchild, which isn't that surprising considering the roles he's had in the past. So, was this movie really as devastating for actual fans of the show as people have been predicting? There already seems to be some rage here over the film's general badness and forgetability.
