Trivia
Intended as a television pilot for The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius (2002). But, when Paramount's executives were shown very early footage, and early design plans for it, they were so impressed by it, that they decided to fund it for theatrical release.

Goofs
Jimmy uses a hair from his head to confirm a DNA match to enter his clubhouse. While hair itself doesn't contain DNA, the follicle from which the hair grows does have DNA. A plucked hair always contains a bit of the follicle.

Quotes
Jimmy: But dad, all my friends are going.
Dad: I know son, but if all your friends were named Cliff, would you jump off them? I don't think so.

Crazy credits
During the credits shows us what happend to Jimmy's teacher Ms. Fowl after he shrunk her in the beginning of the movie. She is seen riding a worm to the cafeteria.

Alternate versions
On the VHS version, the movie opens and closes with the 90th Anniversary Paramount Pictures logo. However,on the DVD release, and on most TV prints, the 1986-2003 Paramount logo appears, which was in the original theatrical release.

Not as bad as people say

I never watched the show as a kid so when I watched the movie, I knew nothing but that Jimmy is a genius so this movie was a fresh take on the show for me. Obviously just like the show, the CGI didn't age well but I found the characters kinda alright and the voice acting was pretty good. The jokes were ok and the story was good. I thought the sence where they used the rides to go to space was amazing. I give it a 7 because the CGI isn't the prettiest to look at and often the characters are unenjoyable but for a show that I knew nothing about, the movie was passable and is easily one of the better movies to come out of Nick
