It's been just over twenty years since Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius hit theaters and nearly 18 since The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, the animated series based on the movie on Nickelodeon aired its final episode. As you know by now, it's never too long for Hollywood to revive a property for a reboot and in the ever-expanding world of streaming video, revivals are now more possible than ever.
In a video interview with The Able Gamer recorded in 2022, John A. Davis, the creator of the beloved Nickelodeon franchise, revealed that Nickelodeon was planning to reboot Jimmy Neutron around 2020, with Nickelodeon said to have been "very interested" in reviving the property, with the original crew, however, the project unfortunately fell apart. You can check out Davis' comments around the 31:38 mark in the video below:
Although we didn't get a reboot, the property has been a somewhat of a comeback, with Hugh and Jimmy being playing characters in the Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl franchise.
Created by John A. Davis and based on several Jimmy Neutron and Johnny Quasar shorts, Nickelodeon Movies, O Entertainment, DNA Productions and Paramount Pictures' Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius made its debut in theaters on December 21, 2001. Following its success, a spin-off series The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius premiered on July 20, 2002 and ran for 63 episodes over three seasons. The success of the film and TV series spawned another spin-off, Planet Sheen, as well as three crossovers with The Fairly OddParents under the name The Jimmy-Timmy Power Hour and a ride called Jimmy Neutron's Nicktoon Blast at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida.
Jimmy Neutron follows James "Jimmy" Isaac Neutron, Retroville's resident Boy Genius. Jimmy (Debi Derryberry) creates amazing inventions designed to make his life easier and more interesting--and when they work the way they're supposed to, they do just that! Which is rare. But for Jimmy, his robot dog Goddard and his pals Carl Wheezer (Rob Paulsen) and Sheen Estevez (Jeffrey Garcia), every short circuit is a new adventure!
