    It stands up there with Monsters, Inc. and Shrek.

    ehhh... generally too kiddish for an adult watching this alone.

    For its time, the animation is actually pretty good in some ways. But overall this is just a funny, well-written kids movie. Nickelodeon going backwards and having this movie preceding the show shortly after was pretty odd as we just had to get used to the characters without having much background, but it worked out somehow.

    Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius is one of my childhood favorites, a must see for all animation lovers.
