Reviews

  • A lickety-split, madly packed, roller-coaster entertainment that might almost have been designed to make you scared of how much smarter your kids are than you.

  • It doesn't have the little in-jokes that make "Shrek" and "Monsters, Inc." fun for grown-ups. But adults who appreciate the art of animation may enjoy the look of the picture.

  • Mixes ''Jetsons''-style futuristic hijinks with a reliable story of a boy inadvertently whisked ''over the rainbow'' to another galaxy where his mettle is tested.

  • Clever and funny, with a dense surface of ideas and moods.

  • The charm of Jimmy Neutron is that it's both futuristic enough to intrigue kids and retro enough to hook their parents.
