Nicktoons (film)

Nicktoons is a live-action/animated action-adventure fantasy 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 a vindictive overlord invading the entire Nicktoon multiverse and capturing different cartoon characters for slavery, 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 mismatched heroes must go through as many challenges 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. It also takes some inspiration from Star Wars and The Avengers.
 * The creators thought a lot about the plot of the film before giving it a fantasy element.
 * Despite being an animated film, there are two live-action moments. First, there is a scene where Zim, GIR and SpongeBob accidentally appear in the Kenan & Kel universe. Later at the end of the film, the Nicktoons celebrate their victory by going back to that universe and visiting Good Burger in a moment paying homage to the scene in The Avengers where the heroes have shawarma.
 * 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 overlord's plot is to capture characters from different Nicktoon universes and take them to a new planet in a different multiverse so they can become slaves.
 * The Nicktoons have trouble working together: SpongeBob is underestimated, Zim tries to abandon the team, etc. As a result, the overlord 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 and GIR are accidentally sent back to their own universe with SpongeBob. As the team tries to reunite, they all learn something new about each other.
 * After getting captured, Jimmy works to free the imprisoned Nicktoons from slavery.
 * 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.
 * 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.
 * The DVD release includes a blooper reel hosted by Kenan and Kel and commentary by various fan-favorite Nicktoons. The blooper reel, treated as a traditional Kenan & Kel episode, shows the Nicktoons hanging out at the Nicktoons Animation Studio.
