Why Did They Make A Live Action Fairly Odd Parents Movie? 

So, from what I could find, the different run times are due to 3 different things. The 90 min time came from how long the movie was meant to be WITH commercials. However, on release night it ended up only being 75 min somehow(?). The 55 min version has no commercials but includes one extra scene at the end with Timmy’s parents taking a “vacation” in their front yard when Crocker crashes to the ground in front of them. And finally the 48 min version just doesn’t have any of that and is the streaming version. Correct me if I’m wrong on any of that though!

Cosmo and Wanda look like something an AI would make tbh.

The Fairly Odd parents Movie: Now with 5 different runtimes!

The way the creators of FOP just dropped Sparky while refusing to explain why is funny to me

to be fair, an oil well in the center of town would be horrible. they're loud, an eyesore, messy, and lead to ecological ruin. the town would possibly even become subject to sinkholes and other undesirable results. oil is unsustainable, the town would loose more than it'd gain.

Can’t believe Timmy literally peaked at 10 years old and then badass environmental activist gymnast Tootie never lost the crush he had on him also at 10 years old

I actually thought the actor who played Crocker was singlehandedly worth the watch of the live action movies. Like for real, the guy MAKES this movie watchable in a way only someone like Jim Carrey or Robin Williams could.

Timmy Turner in a fedora unnerves me on a spiritual level.

My town has a tree that's been around for centuries, and it's actually a big deal. There's no way the local government or the voters would let it be cut down.

not 100% but the inconsistent times of the movie could be that when it originally released on nickelodeon there was probably commercials every 10 minutes or so.

The scenes with Chester & A.J and Vicky are in the extended version, but not in the version that initially aired on TV, which explains the runtime differences.

There was in fact an after-credits scene where Crocker for some reason eventually stops falling by collapsing on Timmy's front lawn. I have no clue if that was added later or if that was always the intention, but it's weird how of all places, that's where the bottomless ball pit ended up

I mean Tara probably didn’t mind playing the baby like she was in Rugrats she’s kinda known for how good she is voicing a baby. Plus I doubt she’s sad about not playing Timmy in the live action movie she’s a voice actor

Sparky disappearing and nobody talking about it still bothers me to this day. I don't mind that he left but at least do an episode explaining what happened to him. I can't watch the episodes animated in flash. They switched to Flash animation mid way through season 10.

12:11 lmao that’s not even a dogwood and also that’s the least dogwood-looking tree they could’ve chosen

Later Butch Hartman said the movie is in an alternate universe like how live action movies aren't always faithful to comics.

the news that fairly odd parents ran until 2017 is truly astounding. as a kid i watched this movie, assumed that the series was over, and never tuned back in... (though to be fair, i was aging out of nickelodeon at this time anyway). anyways, another great video reliving a movie i haven't thought about since it aired. always so fun to relive a little childhood/teenage nostalgia with your videos!

What?! A live-action movie of The Fairly Odd Parents? That's a terrible idea! Which means, it could only be the work of...Dinkleberg!

Crocker didn't died, he is magically teleported in the front yard of Timmy's parents house while they are pretending to be on vacation on the sun.

The version uploaded onto RU-vid is the "extended" version that includes scenes of adult AJ and Chester, including one where they help Timmy break into the villain's lair. In the end, he magically gives them girlfriends. It also shows Mr. Crocker falling from the sky onto the Turners' lawn where the parents are trying to relax, from what I can remember. As a FOP fan myself, this is the only live-action project I actually kinda like, if only because it embraced some of its campiness.

The fact that the movie really is only about 47 minutes long is so surprising to me... I figured that maybe there was an extended version or something (JoJo Siwa's full tour movie isn't even on Paramount+, they only have the shortened TV version) but I don't think there is. Also I think it's funny that they kept this on Paramount+... guess it must be well-remembered enough to be a legacy addition to the catalog lol, because it feels like they purposefully exclude some things if it's too embarrassing or unsuccessful. Also, someone said that they recently removed a part of an iCarly bloopers episode that had Drake Bell in it so that's another thing.

this movie should’ve done what that one episode of Ned’s declassified did and just had cosmo and wanda as 2D nobody would’ve questioned it we saw them as 3D in the Jimmy Timmy movies we already knew they looked bad

This movie was constantly advertised on Nickelodeon and the channel was really trying to sell this movie.

I remember watching this when it first aired on Nickelodeon and wandering what the hell kind of fever dream I was in. Completely forgot there were two sequels. Also Poof being voiced by Randy Jackson was so random that I had to rewind it a few times just to see if it was him or not. To me, Channel Chasers will always be the canonical end to the classic era of Fairly Odd Parents, not this dumpster fire of a movie trilogy.

The "13 years" detail in this movie has me think it could also be a reference to the pilot airing in 1998. Either way, I remember this movie, recording it and watching it later. Tootie's character overhaul confuses me the most- it's like she's a combination of the "Daniella Monet nerd to beauty" role and elements of Sam Manson. It bothered me as a kid because it took away from her glasses, not even explaining why there's a change.

90% sure someone needed a way to pay hush money to Drake.

21:19 “thats gotta be racist man”😭😭

I've stated this before, but if this movie ended with Timmy leaving his fairies to live his adult life with Tootie (and not become a fairy); it might've been a decent conclusion to the series. Had it ended then. Also if it showed Timmy get over his pining for Trixie, that would've given a sense of finality. But its "wishful thinking" to know what might have been.

I realized the women who played Timmy's mom in the movies was also the first EN dub for Kodachi Kuno in Ranma 1/2. Also the scenes with Drake Bell with children makes me really uncomfortable to my stomach.😥😣😬

The promo to this movie having Timmy say "I wish I was Drake Bell!" didn't age well specifically... But I'm anticipating for the Christmas and Summer sequels to be reviewed, since no one talked about them as much as the first. Hell, I only remember some scenes from the second movie and not the third cuz they are very forgettable. I'll admit, Timmy and Tootie have good chemistry here unlike their cartoon counterparts and felt pretty cute. Too bad Cosmo and Wanda had to ruin it instead of moving on. I also like the joke where Poof "speaks for the first time" at the end(even as a kid), the actor who played Crocker in live action was good and close to the original cartoon iteration; in addition we have Susanna Blakesee, Daron Norris, and Tara Strong reprise their roles as Wanda, Cosmo, and Poof(while Strong plays Fairy!Timmy in the third movie), and the second mentioned played Timmy's Dad in live action. Jorgen is enjoyable, alongside the pirate invasion in the beginning. That's about it. At least this movie isn't as godawful as Fairly Odder, lol.

Victorious always made me mad when they were trying play her sister like she wasn’t fine as hell. She should’ve been the main character.

cosmo and wanda in 3d are nightmare inducing

Not to argue about the continuity of fairly odd parents, but i think there were two or three episodes about Poof's 'first' words one of them was 'I want my rattle.' The other's were probably 'Timmy' or something.

Most of this movie feels an hour long Funny or Die sketch, and I’d call it a fan film, but that would imply there was passion in this (except the actor who plays Crocker; he’s pretty spot-on and deserves a place alongside Willem DeFao as Ryuk in Netflix’s Death Note in the hall of fame for “People Giving a Better Performance Than Their Movie Deserved”). The big issue here is Fairly OddParents already has, like, 3 or 4 possible and infinitely better series finales: Wishology, Channel Chasers, Meet the Odd Parents, even Abra-Catastrophe could’ve ended the series on a high note! But this…this is just rough to get through, and Fairly Odd Summer completely breaks the rules and even grinds whatever was left of Timmy’s character into dust. Drake Bell and Daniella Monet are fine actors, but they’re hopelessly miscast in this movie from the jump and it just never recovers-and, thanks to Fairly Odder not learning from past sins, it doesn’t even get the honor of being the worst version of this stupid, terrible, awful idea.

sparky was what made ME stop watching fop, too. it made me sad-- i loved the show so much as a kid, especially the animated movies, ESPECIALLY especially the jimmy/timmy power hour

I remember when Cosmo was smart and when Wanda and Cosmo loved each other, glad i quit watching the show while it was still good.

I went through the five stages of grief learning about this movie

To my understanding, this isn’t a canon ending, but some sort of alternate universe thing. I think Butch Hartman compared it to how comic book movies are like an alternate canon from their source material.

Channel chasers will always be the true ending of the FOP timeline Let's just say there are alternate enders to the show

I see the movie as an alternate universe since Chloe isn't there.

This is a prime example that we’re constantly straying further from God’s light.

"this mf looks like an eraser and yet i dont have a chance with Daniela Monet" you're so real for this.

You just confirmed what I was so confused about as a kid. I remember the movie constantly being on and seeing some stuff added that I never saw the first time watching. Even on the guide the length of the movie would be inconsistent Edit: There is an after credit scene with Crocker in one of the longer versions, it shows the bottomless pit wasn’t bottomless and he ended up on that random street where he boonk ganged the fairies. I think there’s also a version with Vicky in it for two seconds too.

I remember a few years ago with my online friend group I started streaming this movie as a joke that was supposed to last like a minute but we accidentally ended up watching the whole thing. Cause while it's.. not the best movie in the world, you can't stop watching it once it's on. Even if you've seen it before you just can't look away because it's just so weird yet entertaining

I believe the different runtimes come from the fact that at the time any time Nickelodeon had a movie or anticipated tv special they would add in an extra scene or two for the first airing that they would then take out for every rerun. every once in a while though they would show the original airing again and advertise it as a special “extended” version. off the top of my head I can think of this happening with the iCarly special where Freddie saved her life and the iParty with Victorious special. drove me crazy as a kid though thinking I just imagined those extra scenes or somehow forgot them when the full versions would rerun

The only ending that I will accept as cannon is the ending of channel chaser when we see into the future of an a adult timmy tunner with his own kids that he doesn’t make time for and leaves with a robot Vicky giving his kids fairy god parents as a result, lowkey channel chasers kinda ties the series up and brings it full circle and if they wanted to bring it back as a reboot then they could’ve based the reboot off of his kids having fairies and maybe him slowly remembering he had them as a kid but 🤷🏽‍♀️Acting if I remembering correctly Butch wanted it to end the show with channel chasers but they made him do more seasons, which resulted in him slowly killing his own creation as sad as it is shoutout to butch for giving us one of the most unforgettable Nickelodeon shows 🫶🏽big purr to you Butch H. 💅🏾

I only remember the beach one where Timmy falls in lava and Spoilers Turns into a fucking fairy

Wait... this movie WASN'T a fever dream I had when I was 10?

Just found your page and can tell I'll be watching every video over the next few days, your commentary is so chill and I appreciate the old school video game sound design🙌

Honestly I really enjoy your videos, I can never really find content that's like this anywhere else so I had to turn notification on.

If i were to guess as to why the movie has an inconsistent run time I would have to say it was because 1. It was 2011 and the info isn't readably available 2. Some sort of copywrite problem 3. A scene was just wayyyy too problematic 4. Commercials messed up the run time and what I think is the most likely is 5. If I remember correctly when the movie was first aired on Nickelodeon there was special segments in the commercial breaks that had some piece of the movie that either wasn't archived or some of it is counted as part of the movie to some sources while it's not counted to others My humble theory -BlenderFucker_

This movie was like the Nickelodeon version of Billy Madison

Your humour and jokes are hilarious! I enjoy every one of your videos, even though I've never seen most of these movies. You deserve more subs.

In mr crabs voice “MONEY”

If you saw Quinton's review, this is only the beginning of this live action FRANCHISE when the last movie had Timmy DIE and turn into a CGI baby fairy abomination version of his 10-year old self (with his old voice actor returning voicing him) and Tootsie looked very uncomfortable but said she tries to be used to him reverting to a child again and continuing dating him! Assuming anyone else still don't see fairies so she would look very delusional dating a tiny fairy boy but at least she will not get caught from doing any inappropriate physical with his child body! I really hope not or else it would be sick.

Dude I’ve been scrolling watching old RU-vid videos and then I found you on my subscribed channels THANK YOU DUDE I HAVE TONS OF YOUR CONTENT THATS NEW TO ME

If it weren't for the two live action sequels, and the fact that Channel Chasers shows Timmy as an adult, this could work as the cannon finale.

Your editing is on-point my dude

I just found you via this video, you have great timing and you’re super witty. I’ll definitely be watching all of your stuff.

Out there, a person was introduced to the fairly odd parents from this cgi nightmare

Oh god I forgot this existed and I'm kinda sad you reminded me.

Actually they do show what happened to mr. Crocker. He falls from the sky and lands on the ground in the middle of a town.

Love the Persona backtrack you used. Those songs are masterpieces

You’re a real one for watching this, so we don’t have to

I consciously repressed this movie from my memories, but I need a new video from you or Ill go insane, so here we are ☠️

Took a nap and woke up to see a new video. Wonderful.

And now drake bell is a criminal who can't be around kids

They should've gotten Courtland Mead to play Timmy Turner in 2011, he's the only former child-actor I know who bares a resemblance to the character.

The 3rd Movie was on the same Level with The Last Airbander Movie.

Im pretty sure unless it is in the sequel that the time disparity comes from a missing subplot of jorgen trying to have timmy be hit with cupid's arrow. In which jorgen hits vicky and tries to hit timmy but end up with vicky chasing after jorgen.

I really do like the use of video game music and the Persona 5 aesthetic you go for in your videos. I got super into Persona in my early 20s so I probably would’ve implemented it into RU-vid videos if I made them around that time. Nice work all around, dude! ^_^

This was a good video, and I think you had some good commentary. Also, I greatly appreciate the Daniella Monet hype in this video. I was so down bad for her back then lol

I was just thinking of what video to watch while eating,this is perfect

banger video ur slaying as always

The idea of an adult Timmy Turner that still has his fairies makes the dark theory about Timmy being on drugs look even more plausible and darker if you think about it..... The theory years ago was that Cosmo and Wanda literally represented drugs Timmy was taking and the reason he got a hold of these drugs was because of his messed up life with having terrible parents and an abusive babysitter. Channel Chasers is what I personally believe should've been the end of the series since it wrapped things up nicely for a few reasons: 1) Timmy's parents realize how shitty of parents they actually were and learn the errors of their ways and actually take action in getting their son back 2) Throughout the series up until Channel Chasers, Timmy has always been complying with what his parents wanted despite being miserable, and when it comes to them taking away something he loves, he finally rebels against them and runs off into escapism 3) Vicky is finally exposed for who she really is and faces the consequences for her actions The drug theory would've also made the message of this noncanon finale 10 TIMES MORE POWERFUL because to me Timmy escaping into different channels could literally be symbolic of him going through overdose and his parents tracking him down is symbolic of them finally realizing what Timmy has been doing to escape his tragic life that they were unaware of and are now trying to save him. So Timmy finally learning to grow up could be about Timmy surviving his overdose and that he sees his parents are finally there for him. By showcasing Timmy constantly breaking the rules in the fairy world with Wanda and Cosmo not wanting to let him go even as an adult, Timmy could very well be much like a person on drugs. This explains why he's jobless and still at some kind of educational facility, since he's lost control of both his sanity and life for that matter. And once he hands the fairies off to his cousin in "Fairy Odder", that could literally be Timmy becoming a drug dealer

This being the “finale” of the series is also a little odd because even tho this came out before it. Poof has an episode of the show where he says his first words. So that last thing from Poof being his first words is a little strange

YEAHHH NEW VIDEO!!! (i cant watch it rn but ill watch it when i get home 🥳🥳🥳)

Holy shit I laughed so hard that tears streamed down my face 😭 I'm subscribing this was amazing ty

The gerudo valley theme song was my ringtone for years and it being in the backround keeps tricking my brain into thinking my phone is constantly ringing

I remember loving this movie as a kid, one of my favorites as well as the other live action versions (I remember loving the Christmas one the most haha)

The movie ends with Timmy becoming Uncle Grandpa.

I can expect a better live-action movie adaptation for theaters, but with better actors and better special effects…

I remember watching this as a kid lol it was so cursed

So since Kei died at the end of the vid, does this mean this is the canonical end of Kei’s channel?

I've never clicked as fast as this one. I really like your videos

As far as I can tell, when the movie first aired they had scenes with Chester, AJ and Vicky. But eventually, they cut those scenes out in later reruns. The version without those characters in on Paramount+.

You should do another video with the extended version. There are more scenes that include chester and a j and vicki

The streaming service is probably counting the end credits as run time which is why some is 48 mins and others are a hour

I never new about this and from the box art, that shit looks like an acid trip.

Great Video keep it up bro ILY

ok but like big old trees in towns are usually so iconic

I find it funny how in the two sequels for this movie's plots are Timmy can't become Santa claus because he gave gifts to kids before christmas and on a summer vacation Foop shows up to to kill Timmy and it he actually does it and Timmy is now just a fairy. that's how the shows ends I guess

Dude the Persona stuff in your videos is so good, because it always makes me go “oh cool he likes that stuff too!” I just want to give you a heads up that Atlus has been cracking down on RU-vidrs that have used their music in videos lately regardless if it’s fair use or not and I just don’t want to see you get got.

I'm gonna force my friends to watch this with me, they need to see and remember this like I did

6:26 jesus christ i legit had to take a breather from the video because this lady's face actually jumpscared me. like it took a few seconds for my brain to realize that her facial proportions were normal due to the blur from the picture moving

I remember hearing that cosmo and Wanda’s models are the same as the power hour ones, but of course modified for 2011 standards, so yeah, that’s something cool to know

There is an odd sort of pride in watching videos at 2x speed and finishing a video like 5 minutes before everyone else when I click on a video right after it's uploaded

I actually remember extra scenes from this movie that include Vicky trying to attack Timmy like how she did before and I think she fell in love with Crocker in the end? But also There's scenes where we see Chester and AJ who have jobs (I just Remembered Chester being a Cop) Timmy actually tells them that he had fairies, to which I think believe they respond the same way Tootie did. Plus I know it has to be this movie cause I never saw the other 2

There's a couple of things that bother me greatly in this movie, including the romantic aspects. Long rant incoming: First of all, stating that love is a sign of maturity and that falling in love would cause Timmy to lose his fairies makes no sense. Ignoring the fact that there's several kinds of love that can all be felt prior to adulthood, Timmy actually has fallen in love before, at kindergarten age even! Sure, you could say that it's just a crush and that it's just puppy love, but the movie never states that there's a difference or that either don't count, not to mention that its definition of "love" is just as shallow as well. So according to this movie, Timmy should've lost his fairies _before he even HAD fairies!_ Secondly, the girl Timmy had fallen in love with since kindergarten? Trixie Tang. _Where is she?!_ I know this is a Timmy x Tootie movie, but Timmy having this huge crush on Trixie instead was a common recurrence in the actual show at this point, enough to be a significant aspect in the entire series... yet Trixie hasn't even been mentioned ONCE. You'd think that they'd at least try to explain when or why Timmy moved on from Trixie, but she has never been acknowledged in the whole movie...TRILOGY. As if she had NEVER existed! This is also a significant problem continuity-wise, because Trixie ALSO had kissed Timmy before. It was her debut episode back in Season 1, "A Wish Too Far". Heck, Timmy and Trixie kissed in "Wishology", which aired two years prior to this movie. Yet this movie likes to pretend that Tootie is the ONLY girl that kissed Timmy. Also, where's Cupid in all of this? You'd think that this love-focused movie would have the fairy governor of love in it as an important character, but he has never been acknowledged, either (probably because it would ruin the whole "love = adulthood" thing this movie tries to propagate). Lastly, this movie has continuity issues. Actually, I think it'd be fair to say that, retroactively speaking, the entire Fairly OddMovie trilogy has continuity issues. I already mentioned them pretending that love would cause Timmy to lose his fairies when this wasn't the case in the actual show, and I also mentioned Trixie having actually kissed Timmy despite the movie telling only Tootie had. And we know that retroactive continuity error of Timmy not having a dog when Sparky would be introduced in Season 9 (which would take place before the movie), but also of note is that the trilogy doesn't seem to remember that we already see a 30-year old swole Timmy being the dad of two kids resembling him, Tootie and Trixie, and having no memory of fairies, back in "Channel Chasers". Why? Well, because the third movie, Fairly OddSummer, decides to go completely against that ending, by _reincarnating Timmy as a fairy._ Voiced by Tara Strong so now that he sounds like his 10-year old self! Also, Fairly OddMovie ends with Timmy still remembering his fairies, even though he shouldn't anymore according to "Channel Chasers". I really don't believe this is supposed to be the canonical ending of the series: there's issues that go completely against some previously established, exceptionally significant points. I think it's likely that Butch wanted to retcon a bunch of stuff like all Trixie-related aspects (which would be kind of a dick move, especially in light of Wishology only a couple years prior) and go full Timmy x Tootie, but giving two more sequels, adding Sparky to the main series despite this movie stating Timmy never had a dog, and giving the third movie a definite ending that goes completely against the ending of _one of the most widely beloved Fairly OddParents specials of the entire franchise,_ makes the whole "this is the canonical ending" a retcon in itself. The events of this film can only exist in an alternate timeline now.

0:20 WTF that's my mom's birthday
