Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius (2001)
A minor surprise, for sure. Quite funny and clever much of the time, which helps offset the occasional lame stretch. The design of the film is pleasingly goofy and detailed too. (The scenes with the carnival-ride rocket ships blasting through space, the roller-coaster wriggling along like a snake on fire, deserve to be noticed as some of the year's most visually striking.) There's about twenty pop-song montages too many, but by now that's more or less a necessary evil. It's no Pixar film for sure, but it's better than Shrek. I want a dog like Goddard....
Grade: B-
