The creators described Jimmy Neutron as "one-third Bart Simpson, one-third Albert Einstein, and one-third Jim Carrey."
Intended as a television pilot for Приключения Джимми Нейтрона (1998). But, when Paramount's executives were shown very early footage, and early design plans for it, they were so impressed by it, that they decided to fund it for theatrical release.
The first movie produced by Nickelodeon Movies to receive an Academy Award nomination.
When Nick is telling a scary story by the fire, he is referring to Ведьма из Блэр: Курсовая с того света (1999).
This is also the first Nickelodeon movie to be entirely animated in CGI.
The character name Sheen Estevez comes from Martin Sheen, whose birth name is Ramon Estevez, as well as his children, Emilio Estevez, Charlie Sheen, Ramon Estevez, and Renée Estevez.
The first CGI theatrical movie done entirely with off-the-shelf software.
Based on a series of shorts about Jimmy's daily life. Goddard's "play dead" routine is even inspired from one short where Jimmy and Cindy are competing over whose pet is better.
While all of the kids are celebrating their parents' disappearance, The Ramones song, "Blitzkrieg Bop" is playing in the background, but the words "shot 'em in the back now" have been muted out.
Kevin Michael Richardson did the voice of King Goobot, but his voice was re-recorded by Sir Patrick Stewart. Some of his audio work can be found in the trailer.
According to the Jimmy Neutron official website, Retroville is located somewhere in Texas, possibly as a suburb of Houston or Dallas.
Just before the kids launch into space, Goddard makes an announcement. The voice he uses is that of W.O.P.R. (Joshua), the super computer from WarGames (1983).
The idea of the Burping Soda came from Director John A. Davis' daughter Zoe.
As of its release, this is the only Nickelodeon movie based on a "Nicktoon" (Nickelodeon cartoon) to ever be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.
In the scene where Jimmy is showing his mom and dad to the aliens, he switched them. He pointed to his dad and says mom and vice versa.
Jimmy Neutron says "I've found them, repeat I've found them". Which is a quote from Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) when Han Solo and Luke Skywalker are found on Hoth.
Carolyn Lawrence and Rob Paulsen worked on Губка Боб в 3D (2015), in which Carolyn reprised her role as Sandy, while Paulsen voiced a seagull.
As the camera pans out of the asteroid on which the kids camp, the song "I Can Count on You" has an extended section that it didn't originally have.
LOGO GIMMICK: Goddard is seen activating the "movies" bumper in the "Nickelodeon Movies" logo.
Paramount Pictures' first computer-animated movie.
The voice of Jimmy was played by a woman.
Jimmy is seen giving the Vulcan salute during the video transmission to the Yolkians, a clear reference to Звёздный путь (1966). Sir Patrick Stewart (voice of King Gobot) is best remembered for portraying Captain Jean-Luc Picard on Звездный путь: Следующее поколение (1987).
Originally, Graeme Revell was going to compose the score, but he turned it down. Theodore Shapiro was supposed to compose the score, but he turned it down as well. Christophe Beck was going to compose the score, but he also turned it down.
Steve Martin was considered for the role of Ooblar.
Sir Ian McKellen was considered for the role of King Goobot.
The third collaboration with Experienced Voice Actor Jim Cummings and David L Lander after Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988) and Titan A.E. (2000).
One of the two theatrically released animated films of 2001 to feature Experienced Voice Actor Jim Cummings alongside Shrek (2001).
Jeffrey Garcia's first time voice acting in a theatrical film, later he'd go onto voice Pip the Mouse in Barnyard (2006), Rinaldo in the Happy Feet films, one of the beach dogs in Marmaduke (2010), Tipa in Rio (2011), and the Spoonbill in Rio 2 (2014).
The latest-released Paramount Pictures animated movie to be rated G by the MPAA.
Nancy Cartwright, Pamela Adlon, and Elizabeth Daily auditioned for the role for Jimmy Neutron.
