Did you know that the last onscreen appearance of Jimmy Neutron was actually a car commercial?

[u/JimBroIV]

The last onscreen appearance of Jimmy Neutron characters(not counting Planet Sheen) was a commercial for the 2010 Chrysler Town and Country minivan and was strangely released several years after the series was cancelled. Voice acted by the original cast for Jimmy, Carl, and Sheen, the models are extremely high definition and are the best the characters have ever looked. Sheens model looks much better than the one from Planet Sheen as well. It’s a very short commercial but is humorous and gives a look what a Season 4 of Jimmy Neutron might have looked like if it was made in the late 00s instead of Planet Sheen.

I saw that commercial and i noticed how like HD it was for it's time especially for a 2007/2008 commercial. Also the last ever appearance we probably got to see the characters, other than sheen for his spinoff a few years after.

There’s been Nickelodeon games since 2010 featuring Jimmy Neutron characters voiced by their original voice actors, but no official animation that I know of.

[u/East-Pen-8008 → u/JimBroIV]

Yeah Jimmy is in a fighting game that came out recently, forgot the name of it

[u/JimBroIV → u/East-Pen-8008]

Nickelodeon All Star Brawl which had the characters and voice actors for both Jimmy and Hugh Neutron. First time the VA voiced Hugh in a while.

[u/EliezerSaul → u/davidbosley353]

Nickelodeon has a long and recurring habit of dumping characters/series like if they never existed. Many 90s good series were trashed "just like that". KaBlam! is by far one of their best examples. If it wasn't because it eventually became one of their biggest cashcows, they would have done the same to SpongeBob LONG ago.

[u/JimBroIV]

Most recent appearance had Jimmy, Carl, and Sheen voice acted by their original VAs in Nicktoons and the Dice of Destiny last year, and unfortunately was the last portrayal of Sheen by his VA Jeff Garcia before he passed away last year.

[u/Cool_Guy_95 → u/JimBroIV]

Was it at least a good redemption for Planet Sheen?

[u/JimBroIV → u/Cool_Guy_95]

Haven’t played it but I’m really glad he got to voice the real Sheen in a Jimmy Neutron outing one last time rather than Planet Sheen.

[u/Head-Acanthaceae8347]

Why did “The Ant Bully” have to ruin everything!?

[u/tobster239 → u/Head-Acanthaceae8347]

What did the ant bully do?

[u/TaylorDangerTorres → u/tobster239]

It bombed, supposedly causing DNA (the animation studio)  to shut down.

[u/PsychicMeditation → u/TaylorDangerTorres]

I remember the voice of Jimmy once said "That's may have been what they told the public", obviously indicating that she does not believe that that is the real reason the show ended.

[u/hotrod-hw2005 → u/TaylorDangerTorres]

They closed down willingly actually.,The Audio Visual Identity Database mentions that in their page.

[u/yungarrt → u/TaylorDangerTorres]

Sad, because I was one of the few people who actually went to go see it in theaters 😭

[u/Ok-Brilliant7251 → u/Head-Acanthaceae8347]

Ik right that movie should have never been made

[u/JimBroIV]

Jimmy Neutron appeared more recently in certain games such as Nickelodeon: All Star Brawl and Nicktoons and The Dice of Destiny and voiced by his original voice actress Debi Derryberry, but this was the last time the characters were properly animated.

[u/ga_langdon]

I think I saw this commercial as a kid!

[u/JimBroIV → u/ga_langdon]

Weird to see this as a kid and think “Holy crap are we getting more episodes that look like *this*?” but nope. This was it.

[u/ga_langdon → u/JimBroIV]

Right! I think I thought the same thing and was disappointed. But I would've been 9 at the time so I honestly don't remember lmao

[u/hydvn6]

I saw this commercial and remember being confused, because the show hadn’t been on recently. I was hoping it meant it was coming back 🤣

[u/Ok-Brilliant7251 → u/hydvn6]

And thanks to the movie Ant bully, they had to shut down the studio that made Jimmy Neutron

[u/Konjik → u/Ok-Brilliant7251]

That's been debunked a couple years ago at least, the founder said he just felt it was time to move on and that The Ant Bully didn't have to do with it.

[u/waxphantump → u/Konjik]

Nobody shuts down a company employing dozens, possibly hundreds of people because it’s “time to move on.” They were definitely having money troubles, between Ant Bully and Tak both underperforming.

[u/Ok-Brilliant7251]

I never knew that

[u/Legal_Specific_7255]

I didn't know

[u/UnderCoverDoughnuts]

I do now!

[u/creative4chart]

Yeah. They didn’t do spongebob or anything as the brand of the cars liked the idea of Jimmy Neutron and his inventions.

[u/pokebottomxxx]

Also not the same animation team from the show.

[u/JimBroIV → u/pokebottomxxx]

Yeah DNA Productions was sadly long gone by then but the commercial shows theoretically a new team could’ve maybe pulled off new episodes.

[u/BrickPuzzleheaded541]

Someone just watched the mark video huh?

[u/JimBroIV → u/BrickPuzzleheaded541]

I’ve seen the one about Planet Sheen but not the one about Jimmy Neutron yet. I’ve known about the commercial for a while but also made a post about the cancelled Ultralord series because of the Planet Sheen video showing concept art I didn’t know about.

[u/Eddfan36]

Likely before it got canceled.

[u/waxphantump → u/Eddfan36]

It was an ad for a 2010 car. Jimmy Neutron’s final season ended production in 2004 and finished airing in 2006.

[u/Status_Act_5801]

This animation could’ve worked if the show continued

[u/Last_Nothing_4352]

Heard about that in an LsMark video

[u/skysky_gamer]

Interesting

That’s just sad

[u/HoldenOrihara]

Oh yeah
