A good start to an imaginative show,
By
This review is from: Jimmy Neutron - Confusion Fusion (DVD)
This is, in my opinion, one of the best of Nickelodeon's animated series, and arguably the best in several ways. Although I have not yet seen the DVD, the televised episodes described are well known to me. It's a pity that they didn't include "Trading Faces", "See Jimmy Run", "I Dream of Jimmy", and "My Son The Hamster", but hopefully there will be a second release. 1) Normal Boy - When Jimmy decides that being a genius isn't all that great, he decides to reduce his intelligence using the same brain-draining technology used by popular radio personalities. Unfortunately the machine's setting accidently changes from "Normal" to "Drool Monkey" during the process, leaving him more clueless than even Sheen and Carl. Things go from bad to worse, however, when a flaming meteor threatens to destroy Retroville and only Jimmy's once-superpowered mind is the only hope of saving the town. 2) Birth of a Salesman - Determined to out-do his arch-rival Cindy Vortex and win a free VIP trip to Retroland does his best to win his class's candy-selling contest, When his sales limitations become dismally apparent, Jimmy constructs a robot salesman to sell the candy in his place. Unfortunately the robot proves to be even more agressive and persistent than Jimmy anticipated. 3) When Pants Attack - Grounded by his mother for failing to pick up his pants, Jimmy installs a Neutron nanochip to have his pants pick themselves up. The plan works well at first, but things turn bad when the nanochip begins to grow in power and intelligence. Soon Jimmy's pants begin infecting other pants in an attempt to take over the world, and only Jimmy can hope to stop the errant trousers in a final showdown. (Except for the "The Eggpire Strikes Back" this is the only extended-length Jimmy Neutron TV episode to date.) 4) Granny Baby - Jimmy's parents Hugh and Judy Neutron leave for a 3rd honeymoon (their 2nd honeymoon and the entire 5th year of their marriage having been erased by one of Jimmy's inventions) and leave Jimmy to care for Granny Neutron while they're away. Deciding that his grandmother wouldn't complain so much if she were younger, Jimmy gives her a youth formula which works much too well and reduces to her to the age of an infant. 5) Time Is Money - When Jimmy's parents inform him that they can't afford to buy him the 1000-volume set of the "Encyclopedia of Infinite Knowledge", Jimmy travels back in time to convince his father to give his last $50 to Hank McSpanky to start the McSpanky's hamburger chain. Returning to the present he finds that his father took his advice and that the Neutron family is immensely rich, but that his parents are now far more interested in material possessions than in him. 6) Brobot - Unable to find anyone to play with or convince his parents to have another child, Jimmy builds Brobot, a half- brother, half-robot sibling. But Jimmy has second thoughts when Brobot turns out to be more talented and popular than him with his friends and parents. 7) The Big Pinch - Jimmy brings Thomas Edison from 1899 into the present to prove that Cindy's class report on Guglielmo Marconi is wrong. Once again things go wrong when Edison falls in love with Jimmy's teacher Winnifred Fowl and refuses to go back, even though it will mean that all electrically powered devices will cease to exist. 8) Battle of the Band - Goaded into entering the school talent show and beating Cindy's and Libby's "Riverstomp" act, Jimmy invents instruments that allow him, Sheen, and Carl to form the "Llama Lords of Science" rock band. Although an almost certain shoe-in for 1st prize in the talent show, the group's harmony begins to fade when musical egos collide. 9) Jimmy on Ice - Jimmy quantumly enhances Carl's Sunblock 50 to block the sun's rays and end a heat wave rather than swim in Cindy's pool by admitting to her that "girls are better than boys in all ways through all history and forever in the future". His plan to cool the weather works well, until the sunblock fails to dissipate, an new Ice Age descends on Retroville, and the citizens begin to revert to their primitive natures.

Decent collection, could have been better,

This review is from: Jimmy Neutron - Confusion Fusion (DVD)
My 5 1/2 year old son and I (43) love Jimmy Neutron! He and I were both excited to see that a DVD was finally being released. Unfortunately I think the selection of epsiodes could have been a little better. We're glad that "When Pants Attack" is on this one, (Gotta love the scene with Sheen showing off his UltraLord underpants!) but "Birth of a Salesman" and "The Big Pinch" are some of our least favorites. I would have traded those for "Crime Sheen Investigation". Seeing the pilot episode was interesting though.And I have to comment on the reviewer who wants more realism. Please, we have enough realism in real life. My son and I don't want to "learn" anything from this show, we like it just the way it is.

We like this collection of episodes,

This review is from: Jimmy Neutron - Confusion Fusion (DVD)
I docked it one star for having an episode that could be interpreted as insulting to mentally disabled children.
My son loves the When Pants Attack Episode. All the episodes are funny and all have the great graphics you've come to expect from Jimmy Neutron. The little brother episode does a great job of portraying the relationship between siblings. The ice age episode is fun because it shows the deteriorating civilization when confronted with life and death survival issues (it's not actually THAT deep, but quite light). It's a fun DVD full of some good quality episodes. Your kids will enjoy it and you will, too.
