Nicktoons (film)

Nicktoons is a live-action/animated action-adventure comedy crossover film directed by Jared Hess and based on cartoons created by Nickelodeon. The plot involves different characters from Nickelodeon cartoons joining forces to save their multiverse from a dangerous threat unlike anything they've ever faced before. The film features the voices of Tom Kenny, Tara Strong, David Kaufman, Debi Derryberry, Janice Kawaye, Alanna Ubach, and Richard Steven Horvitz.

Synopsis
When Jimmy Neutron learns of an insane scientist threatening the entire Nicktoon multiverse and capturing different cartoon characters for insane experiments, he knows that he can't possibly fight back by himself. So he assembles a dream team of six to help him: SpongeBob SquarePants, Timmy Turner, Danny Phantom, Jenny Wakeman, El Tigre, and Zim. The unlikely allies must go through as many universes as possible to fight back against their new foe and save their fellow Nicktoons. But that's easier said than done when everyone in the group is very different from each other. Can they somehow co-exist long enough to save their worlds from the brink of disaster?

Trivia

 * The film is mostly based on the 2005 video game Nicktoons Unite! and its sequels.
 * This is a story within a story. At the beginning of the film, the characters are preparing to watch a movie that they made together in the Nicktoons Animation Studios. The scene is inspired by the opening for Friday Night Nicktoons.
 * Much like the theatrical SpongeBob SquarePants movies, this film focuses more on the animation instead of the live-action.
 * Many Nicktoon characters make appearances throughout the film, whether they loved or hated. The writers said they didn't want to play favourites.
 * The Nicktoons have trouble working together: SpongeBob is underestimated, Zim tries to abandon the team, etc. As a result, the evil scientist attacks them, captures Jimmy, and separates team members in different dimensions. Danny and Jenny are paired together, Manny is forced to work with Timmy and his fairies, and Zim is left with SpongeBob. As they try to reunite, they all learn something new about each other.
 * After getting captured, Jimmy works to free the imprisoned Nicktoons.
 * Zim plays a major role in the film as an anti-hero. He'd rather go into business for himself and protect his own world, stating that he would not be upstaged. Since Dib was captured, Jimmy figured that an extraterrestrial being would make a decent ally.
 * The creators discussed the plot of the movie for a long time. They went through a few different options. Option #1 involved the Nicktoons in the real world. Option #2 involved them teaming up to save their multiverse from their enemies. Eventually, they decided to combine both ideas and have the Nicktoons trying to save their multiverse from a villain who lives in the real world. That way, Nicktoon villains have a reason to help the heroes.
 * Nickelodeon got permission from Disney for the use of Doug in the film. Jim Jenkins stated that since Doug was the first Nicktoon, "it just wouldn't be the same without him".
 * The creators of SpongeBob SquarePants, The Fairly OddParents, Danny Phantom, Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, My Life as a Teenage Robot, El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera, and Invader Zim all worked on the film.
