A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner! (2011)

A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner! (or simply known as A Fairly Odd Movie) is a live action television film based on the animated series The Fairly OddParents. It first aired on Nickelodeon in the United States on July 9, 2011 to celebrate the series's tenth anniversary. Unlike the previous animated films of the series, this film was presented in live-action mixed with CGI animation. This is the first Nicktoon to be shown in live-action (excluding SpongeBob SquarePants). The television film was viewed by 5.8 million viewers during its original airing.

The television movie is set in the city of Dimmsdale and centers on Timmy Turner, his fairy godparents Cosmo and Wanda, and his fairy godbrother Poof. Timmy is now twenty-three years old, but is still in fifth grade with his fairy-obsessed fifth grade teacher Mr. Crocker. Timmy finds a loophole in the fairy rulebook: if he continues to act like a child, he will get to keep his fairies. A dilemma arises when Tootie, who was an awkward girl when she was ten years old, returns to Dimmsdale as an attractive woman. Timmy falls in love with her, a sign that he is becoming an adult, which means he is closer to losing his fairies. Meanwhile, an oil tycoon named Hugh J. Magnate, Jr., teams up with Mr. Crocker and plans to use Timmy's fairies' magic to promote his oil business.

The television film was released on Region 1 DVD by Nickelodeon Studios on July 11, 2011.

On March 14, 2012, Nickelodeon announced a sequel to the film, A Fairly Odd Christmas, which premiered during 2012's holiday season. A third film, A Fairly Odd Summer, premiered August 2, 2014 with Drake Bell, Daniella Monet, and other cast members reprising their roles.

Synopsis

Thirteen years after the timeline and finale of the original series, Timmy Turner (Drake Bell) has grown into a twenty-three-year-old man, but by maintaining a lifestyle considered immature for his age he has managed to keep his fairy godparents. Timmy's refusal to mature greatly irritates his parents (who desperately encourage him to leave home) and Jorgen von Strangle, who is constantly scheming to entice Timmy into giving up his fairies.
