The Movie of a Teenage Robot

The Movie of a Teenage Robot is a 2008 American 3D computer-animated superhero sci-fi comedy film based on the Nickelodeon animated television series created by Rob Renzetti. Directed by Renzetti from a screenplay by Renzetti, Scott Peterson, Heather Martinez and Reza Memari, it stars the voices of Janice Kawaye, Candi Milo, Chad Doreck, Audrey Wasilewski, and Quinton Flynn, and introduces Matt Damon, Diego Luna, and Seth Rogen.
In the film, teenage robot Jenny Wakeman was alerted by her mother, Nora, that a planned attack by the villainous Lord Crazy -with his henchmen The Clown and The Jester- would be initiated by Friday. With only five days before the Doomsday upon Tremorton, it is up to Jenny to stop Lord Crazy and his henchmen from pursuing with his plans of mass destruction.
Production on a Teenage Robot film began in 2004, during the first season of the show. Series creator Rob Renzetti pitched the script to Paramount Pictures, and the film was given the green light in July. Originally proposed to be animated by Rough Draft Studios, the animation was instead produced by Reel FX Creative Studios. The film's score was composed by Christopher Lennertz. The film was produced by Nickelodeon Movies, The Kennedy/Marshall Company and Frederator Incorporated, in association with Legendary Pictures.
The Movie of a Teenage Robot premiered on July 25, 2008 at the Kodak Theatre, and was theatrically released in the United States on August 2, 2008 by Paramount Pictures in 3D and RealD 3D, becoming the first Nickelodeon film to be released in 3D. It received acclaim upon release, with praise for its animation, design, musical score, action sequences, voice cast, visual effects, pacing, plot, screenplay and faithfulness to the source material.

The film's score was composed by Christopher Lennertz. John Debney was originally interested to compose the score for the film.
