This is a very good Jimmy Neutron DVD Collection.
-First, about Jimmy Neutron, in case you don't know: Jimmy is a Boy Genius, a cartoon from Nickelodeon. He invents all kinds of wonderful devices; from a simple Hovercar, to a Shrink Ray to Books On Gum (Something Amazon should explore.) Adventures and silliness always follow! Jimmy is often accompanied by his best friends, Sheen and Carl; his robotic pet dog, Goddard; and two girls named Cindy and Libby. The animation is simply superb; three dimensional computer graphics with astonishing attention to detail, reflections, shadows, mirrors, and moving backgrounds. It's not Pixar, but it sure isn't the Fairly Oddparents either. Better still, every episode is at least very funny, and at most fall-on-the-floor hilarious.
-The Collection is very good. Though I know many Neutron fans were disappointed Nick didn't just release the entire series. Some Jimmy is better than no Jimmy though. Still, for Season One, almost everything available in this collection has already been released on DVD before.
-What's more, there are no DVD special add-ons at all, which is disappointing. No behind-the-scenes, storyboards, commentary, or anything. Just the shows. It also should be noted that in the first season, an average show was only about fifteen minutes long. The following seasons Jimmy started having many more adventures that lasted a full half hour. It ALSO should be noted that the DVDs are formatted DVD-R so they will probably not work on older DVD players.
-But the shows are definitely worth having. And this collection is worth having for The Eggpire Strikes Back alone, a brilliant mini-movie.
The selections from Season One are:
Disc 1:
Brobot
The Big Pinch
Normal Boy
Birth of Salesman
Raise the Oozy Scab
I Dream of Jimmy
The Egg-Pire Strikes Back (A Mini-Movie.)
Disc 2:
Broadcast Blues
Professor Calimitous, I Presume
Hall Monster
Hypno-Birthday to You
The Phantom of Retroland
My Son, the Hamster
Granny Baby
Time is Money
Krunch Time
Substitute Creature

You should like this if you liked "Toy Story" or "Bugs Life".
Jimmy Neutron is a boy genius, and fulfills every boy's dream of building his own space-ship, as well as a jet-pack, hovercraft, submarine, and a list of neat inventions, like a shrinking-ray-gun.
Jimmy's parents and school friends all have unique personalities. Character-acting in cartoons. Lots of clever humor. Always a story.
Lots of adventures in town and in outer-space, sometimes with villains. Fast-pace. High quality art, detail, and effort in every way.
16-episodes per-season. All three seasons are good.
There are cheaper ways to see if you like Jimmy Neutron.
"Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius", $4 one, long, separate, episode.
"Jet Fusion" $3, a different episode, and 6 episodes found within seasons-1-3.
"Attack of Twonkies" $4, a different episode, and 3 episodes found in seasons 1-3.
"Sea of Trouble" is $5, 6-episodes all found within seasons 1-3.
"Confusion Fusion" $4, 9-episodes found within seasons 1-3. Used $2.
Available to rent at your local Blockbuster.
An extreme example of humor targeted to adults: Jimmy uses a time-machine to bring Thomas Edison for his school, presentation. The school principal has an argument with Edison, and says, "... and call me Tesla", which relies on the viewer knowing Thomas Edison had a bitter rivalry with Nicolai Tesla. Tesla invented DC-current and won the contract for the world's fair over Edison's AC-current.
I also recommend the animated films of imagination and story: "Incredibles", "Iron Giant", "Max Fleischer's Gulliver's Travels", "Great Mouse Detective", "Antz", "Secret of Nimh".

I've always liked this show and my only complaint would be that it is a "best of" series instead of a complete season. It turned out I already had the episodes on various compilations, so I got nothing new. I also got best of seasons 2 and 3 at the same time, but have not had time to watch them yet. Once I started on season 1, it was hard to not finish a disc. I ended up watching both discs on the same day as it reminded me how much I miss this series.
