message: Remember when the yolkians made the jump? But they can't have gotton to earth that fast, it would have taken years even from the closest system at light speed. Could the yolkians have technology of the Spaceballs and have gone into Ludicrous speed? Or could they be even more advanced and go faster? Darth Vader II 16:46, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Meaning? 

message: This is trivia and may be integrated back into the article in prose form with references.
* In an early sequence, Jimmy rides his jetpack past a train labeled MJ12, coinciding with the extraterrestrial theme.
* When Jimmy crash lands on his house in the beginning of the film, three birds flying in a V-shaped pattern can be seen in the sky, several times. This may coincide with the extraterrestrial photographs taken by Billy Meier that featured three UFO's flying over a valley. This can also be observed in several of the TV episodes.
* In the beginning of the message Jimmy sends to the aliens, he salutes them using the Vulcan salute.
* When Sheen takes the Ultra Lord oath in the amusement park, his right hand is doing the Vulcan salute.
* The Egyptian-style ride "Show me the Mummy" is a parody of Jerry Maguire's catch-phrase "Show me the money".
* One of the rides has a scared kid's face with eyes wide open and his hands on his cheeks. That's the famous pose of Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone. (Which itself is a parody of the Edvard Munch painting The Scream)
* The alien's YT program is a parody of ET.
* During the scene when the kids are camping on the asteroid, Nick's story is from the 1999 film The Blair Witch Project
* Look closely when Hugh Neutron is channel surfing on his TV set, the film open for Nick, called "Rhino", is seen, alongside one ident and the ping-ping-ping sound of Nick's sister channel TV Land.
* One ride in Retroland that is made into a spacecraft is called "Bat Outta Heck", an obvious reference to the common phrase Bat out of Hell.
* In the scene where all of the kids are in space and camping on an asteroid, they are able to survive despite having no protection against the freezing cold, lack of air pressure or oxygen. Their space ships aren't even sealed and most expose the children's bodies. Curiously, in the series that spawned from the film, in the episode "The Junkman", while on a trip to the moon, Sheen asks Jimmy about this, and Jimmy answers him, but his explanation goes unheard, as Carl's loud and terrible singing drowns it out.
* When the Yolkian planet is viewed from space, it seems to be based on Coruscant.
* The Yolkian Ooblar's name is perhaps a nod to The War of The Worlds where the martian's battlecry is 'Ulla' - pronounced Oolaa.
* During the chase through space Libby is the Communications Officer, a possible reference to Lt. Uhura in Star Trek: The Original Series, as both Libby and Uhura are black females.
* On the scene when Cindy is on her room with Libby, there is a poster of a girlband, called Space Girls. This is an obvious parody of Spice Girls.
* The film currently has a 75% "Certified Fresh" rating on RottenTomatoes.com
* When Jimmy did the radar search for adults it said there were no adults found but in a few scenes later they showed Ms. Fowl, which may be because of Jimmy accidentally shrinking her earlier and being too small for the radar to pick up. 
* Another poster of this film had Jimmy & Goddard on the front, looking through a hole from metal that they had blasted through. Next to the hole are the words I can fix that... and under the hole is the words Blasting into theaters this Christmas.
* Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius was nominated for Best Animated Feature in 2001. It lost to the Dreamworks blockbuster, Shrek.
* The plot was based upon a failed Jimmy Neutron show pilot, Runaway Rocketboy, While most of the footage from the failed pilot was used on the original teaser trailer, but in the end Nickelodeon finally accepted to create a television series, which turned out to be a hit, turning into Nick's third highest rated show.
* Retroville's paper updates incredibly fast. The headline of the day of the satellite launch was that a UFO (Jimmy and Carl) had been spotted over the town. Of course, the boys could have done it before, seeing as there was no Goddard in the photo.
* There are ceramics that look like chickens, the shape of the ships and the god of the Yolkians. These are seen at the last scene of the film.
* The entire film was done with over the counter CGI software
* Some of the scenes from the film can be seen during the opening sequence of the TV series during the first season.
* When Carl Jimmy and Sheen are reading from the flyer, Carl mentions "Llamas and Capybaras", hinting at an obsession with capybaras, not just llamas.
* The song Blitzkrieg Bop by The Ramones appears in the film. However, the line "Shoot 'em in the back, now" is removed.
* Unlike in the show, Cindy's shirt is a pink blouse, her hair is in two pigtails and she wears black pants. On the show, her shirt is a green striped halter, her hair has one ponytail, and her pants are beige. The same goes for her friend Libby, who had one ponytail and a green dress in the film, but had a tropical-style hairdo and a pink tank top in the tv series. This happened after an episode where Jimmy and his friends redo Libby's hair to stop the mummies.
* Jimmy's name is believed to be originated from the scientist James Chadwick who discovered the Neutron. His full name, James Isaac Neutron, is also a reference to famous scientist Isaac Newton.
* This is the second film Patrick Stewart and Martin Short appeared in. Their first film together was the 1998 film The Prince of Egypt.
* This is also the only time we see Jimmy wear shorts, and Jimmy's voice is a lot deeper in the series presumably because a year had passed.
*There was a proposed sequel to the film entitled Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius 2: The Search for Carl, but the project was scrapped.

thread_title:  3D Re-Release 

message: :::When did this movie get released onto VHS and DVD? I do remember the promotions for the VHS and DVD release on some of my Nick and Nick Jr VHS tapes back when they where new, and that was back in 2002. This probably means that the movie got its home media release in late 2001 or early 2002. Could someone add the home media release date to the artical? --24.147.1.197 (talk) 21:49, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: Already done I fixed  to  as requested. The other 2 sections either already were corrected (e.g ) or were renamed by another editor to something else (). Cheers! —Sirdog (talk) 04:39, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
