This animated feature from Nickelodeon is the story of ten-year-old genius inventor Jimmy Neutron, whose penchant for gadget-creation gets him and his robot dog, Goddard, into trouble at home and school.

Patching together a ragtag armada of interstellar spacecraft, the kid invasion force sets out to rescue the moms and dads who love them and get them home in time for dinner.

Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius, a surprise nomination for best animated film of 2001 is a DVD that even normal, non-genius people will enjoy. Right up front is the image, with both 1.85:1 anamorphic and "kid friendly" full frame transfers. Simply put, the picture on this disc is stunning. Colors are vivid without being too much and the computer generated, three-dimensional depth is a marvel to behold. Paramount has gone out of their way to make this disc look outstanding. The sound is equally impressive. The main 5.1 Dolby Digital track is full of life, generously utilizing the entire sound spectrum through all available speakers. English subtitles are also available on this disc. Though far from a special edition, there is enough supplements to please just about anyone. First up is "The Making Of Jimmy Neutron". Granted, it's not much more than a publicity fluff piece, but the interviews and brief behind-the-scene sections are still entertaining. Fans will also recognize the seven "Interstitials" and five "Cliffhangers" that were shown on Nickelodeon before the films theatrical release. Not to be left out are Aaron Carter and No Secrets who each supply a music video. Finally, along with the theatrical and teaser trailers are seven DVD-ROM games. Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius is not just a movie for the kids, and neither is the DVD. ~ Trent Fordham, All Movie Guide
