Twenty-three-year-old Timmy Turner refuses to move on with his life so he can keep his fairies. He learns he has to deal with growing up eventually. Everybody does it. It cannot be stopped. I enjoy this moral.
The guy who played Mr. Crocker did a really great job sounding and acting like him as his live-action double. That had me fooled with the real voice actor. Creator Butch Hartman participated in many ways for this movie. Be on the lookout for him during Timmy and Tootie’s restaurant scene – a part I liked. I didn’t watch the televised cuts that showed other favorite characters in their live-action form such as Vicky and Chester. I only streamed this movie on Hulu so I only watched the cut version.
But, one word to describe this: corny! Why, just why? Why live-action? I wished for another FOP move after “Abra-Catastrophe” and this was not what I had in mind. Drake Bell as Timmy Turner? Hardly a match there. Combining animated and live-action elements produces cheesy effects. If you liked it: REJOICE! Otherwise…this show wasn’t the same after it got canceled in 2006 then returned later. I miss the old FOP. The new FOP is less fun to watch.
I feel this movie was not for me. If you want real FOP, use 100% animation. Watching this totally turns me off watching the other sequels. I give this movie ONE STAR (1) but this star is a respectful star. Upon watching this, it could be even more difficult to watch the sequels. Were they really necessary?
