Nickelodeon to Present The Fairly OddParents TV Movie for Anniversary

SANTA MONICA: To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the series The Fairly OddParents, Nickelodeon is to present a live-action and CG-animated TV movie, A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner!, on Saturday, July 9, at 8 p.m.

A Fairly Odd Movie will be the network’s first live-action, CG-animated TV movie. It stars Drake Bell of the hit series Drake & Josh and Daniella Monet of Victorious.

The hour-long movie focuses on 23-year-old Timmy Turner’s refusal to accept adulthood in order to hold on to his fairy godparents. The TV show has continued to rank highly since its debut in 2001.

"The movie has spectacular effects and an amazing roster of talent with standout Nick stars Drake and Daniella supported by the extraordinary Cheryl Hines, Jason Alexander and Steven Weber, who all knock it out of the park,” said Marjorie Cohn, the president of original programming and development at Nickelodeon/MTVN Kids and Family Group.

"I’ve always felt the vibrant characters and zany sensibility of The Fairly OddParents would make a great movie," said creator and executive producer Butch Hartman. "I wanted to take the series in an unexpected direction by introducing live-action characters while keeping the integrity of the series’ trademark magic through CG animation."
