While Jimmy and all the other kids from Retroville are partying in the amusement park, the Yokians kidnapping all the adults in town.

On the planet of the Yokians they are captured and learned that their parents are to be sacrificed to the chicken demon Poultra. With the help of Jimmy's robot dog Robbie, the children manage to break out of captivity, free the adults and escape on board a Yokian spaceship. They manage to destroy the alien fleet, only King Goobot and Ooblar can escape and swear to Jimmy and the other children that they have not seen them for the last time.

reception

The Cinema editorial team rated the film as a "funny and brilliantly animated adventure for geniuses big and small". On kino.de, Jimmy Neutron is described as an "entertaining but exciting science fiction scenario for children" whose "wonderfully clear animation [...] does not have to hide from the big ones (Pixar, Dreamworks)". SKIP - The cinema magazine draws the conclusion: "Children's film as it should be: brightly colored, super fun, the message is right and the music anyway". Frank Ehrlacher from the Moviemaster-Film-Lexikon gives the production a rating of 40 percent and sees parallels to the Disney animated film Toy Story , whereby Jimmy Neutron "in spite of all efforts to find an original script in terms of joke can by no means compete with the alleged" role model " .
