Time
Warp collects together five episodes of the animated adventures
of Jimmy Neutron.
First
up is The Big Punch. To settle an argument with Cindy
about the radio, Jimmy brings in an expert, Mr Thomas Edison
himself! But things become a little static when Mr. Edison
falls for Miss Fowl and refuses to go back to his own time!
In
Granny Baby Jimmy's parents go off on a third honeymoon,
leaving Granny Neutron to look after Jimmy. He sees this as
the perfect opportunity to test his 'Anti-Aging Tonic' on
a human subject. But the tonic works a little too well and
Granny ends up as a baby.
Next
up is Time is Money. Jimmy's got to have the 1,000
volume Encyclopaedia of Infinite Knowledge. But the
set is too expensive. When Jimmy says aloud, 'I wish we were
rich', his dad tells him how he almost made an investment
that would have made the family wealthy. So Jimmy travels
back in time to try to convince his father to go for the money.
But the resulting alternate universe is not what Jimmy was
expecting.
In
Jimmy on Ice, Jimmy and his pals are desperate to escape
the heat during a particularly hot day. Jimmy devises a way
to cool things down - by applying sunblock with an SPF of
9000 on the sun! Oh, Retroville cools down all right. In fact,
if Jimmy doesn't do something fast, there's going to be another
Ice Age.
Finally,
in Battle of the Bands, Jimmy invents a set of instruments
that play sounds as you think them in an attempt to win the
gold trophy in the school talent show, Unfortunately, instead
of concentrating on their act, Jimmy, Sheen and Carl focus
all of their attention on becoming rock stars... inflated
egos and all.
This
collection is fantastically funny. Dare I say it? But this
collection is way to good for children. Don't buy it for them,
buy it for you. There are some great moments (which will be
lost on the kids) like Jimmy's parents conversation about
what they want to get up to on their third honeymoon.
The
only nitpick I could see was that while the Time Booth time
machine was introduced in the first episode, it wasn't until
a later episode that his friends ask him about it and it looks
like Jimmy's only just invented it.
But
forget my anal ramblings and pop out and buy this now.
