A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner! is a live action
television film based on the animated series The Fairly OddParents.
It first aired on Nickelodeon in the United States on July 9, 2011
to celebrate the series’s tenth anniversary. Unlike the previous
animated films of the series, this film was presented in live-action
mixed with CGI animation. This is the first Nicktoon to be shown in
live-action. The television film was viewed by 5. 8 million viewers
during its original airing.
The television movie is set in the city of Dimmsdale and centers on
the series’ main protagonist Timmy Turner with his fairy godparents
Cosmo and Wanda and his fairy godbrother Poof. In the movie,
Timmy is now twenty-three years old but is still in fifth grade with
his fairy-obsessed fifth grade teacher Mr. Crocker. Despite being
grown up, Timmy finds a loophole in the fairy rulebook Da Rules:
if he continues to act like a kid, he will still get to keep his fairies.
However, the dilemma rises when Tootie, who was once a dorky girl
when she was ten years old, returns to Dimmsdale as an attractive
woman. Timmy falls in love with her, a sign that he is growing up to
an adult, which means he is closer to losing his fairies. Meanwhile,
an oil business tycoon named Hugh J. Magnate, Jr. , who teams
up with Mr. Crocker, plans to use Timmy’s fairies’ magic in order to
promote his oil business.
On March 14, 2012, Nickelodeon announced a sequel to 2011’s
hit live-action TV movie, A Fairly OddMovie: Grow Up Timmy Turner,
entitled “A Fairly Odd Christmas”, set to air in 2012’s holiday season.
Plot
19
Thirteen years after the original series, Timmy Turner has grown into
a twenty-three-year-old man, but through maintaining a lifestyle
considered immature for someone of his age he has managed
to keep his fairy godparents. However, Timmy’s refusal to mature
greatly irritates his parents, who seem desperate to encourage him
to finally leave home, and Jorgen von Strangle, who is constantly
scheming up plans that will entice Timmy into giving up his fairies.
However, one day Timmy winds up reuniting with a girl from his
childhood named Tootie who once possessed an infatuation on
him and sees that she has grown into a beautiful activist. Soon,
Timmy starts to fall in love with Tootie and begins to date her,
much to the chagrin of his fairy godparents, Cosmo and Wanda,
who continuously scheme to repel Tootie. Meanwhile, Timmy’s
schoolteacher (as he refrained from passing the fifth-grade in order
to remain more childish), Denzel Crocker, teams up with an oil
tycoon by the name of Hugh Magnate in order to kidnap Timmy’s
fairies and use their magic for their own delights.
At the same time, a romantic relationship develops between Tootie
and Timmy, who is torn between keeping his fairies and dating
Tootie. However, one day Magnate deceives and kidnaps Tootie
while Crocker captures Cosmo, Wanda, and their baby son Poof,
imprisoning them in a device programmed to use their magic to
grant anybody’s wishes. After betraying Crocker, Magnate tortures
the fairies by fooling around with the wish-granting invention,
which electrocutes them each time somebody makes a wish, but
fortunately soon Timmy comes to the rescue of both the fairies and
Tootie (who also has been incarcerated in Magnate’s evil lair) and
battles with both his enemy and the toy robot that Magnate used
the fairies’ magic to anthropomorphize, successfully freeing Tootie.
However, now Timmy is forced to give up his fairy godparents,
who vanish forever. Although Timmy is saddened deeply by the
departure of Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof, he is happy to be free to
latch on to more mature behaviors as he longed to do, but soon
learns from Jorgen von Strangle that because of his courage a
new law was passed in Fairy World that will now permit him to keep
his fairy godparents forever as long as he makes only charitable
wishes. Because of this, Tootie and Timmy plan to start a charity
organization in which they will make wishes that will mend all of the
world’s problems or travesties, flying away in a magical van.
