Movie Reviews of Fairly OddParents - School's Out! The Musical
Movie Review: Family Fun
Summary: 5 Stars
Fairly Oddparents is a success for Nick, and rightly so. It belongs to the second generation of Nick's attempts to renovate and revive cartoons. The first generation brought Rugrats, Doug, Ah! Real Monsters, and Ren and Stimpy. With the second generation came Fairly Oddparents, Invader Zim, and a few others. All of which have a unique look, witty writing, and which generally raised the bar for TV 'toons. Similar efforts were underway at Cartoon Network, Fox Kids, and Disney, and each studio has produced cartoons with production values which far exceed anything from a few decades ago.
One not very bright spot has been the effort to create longer cartoon specials and direct to video home DVDs. There are several reasons for that. One, a longer feature helps other studios fill in the space occupied by Disney cinema animation. Two, it provides material for shows like Cartoon Network's Cartoon Theater. Three, it provides a way to directly market already profitable TV shows or movies with direct to video sequels and follow-ups. Nick, for instance, refers to its cartoons as a Nick brand, and attempts to group its products under the well-known orange Nick logo in the manner that Disney does with its own name through its Buena Vista distribution division.
None of which has anything to do with this musical, except to say that it somewhat plays against type. The previous TV animation features I've seen, usually running around an hour, have all been inferior to the regular TV cartoons. Here's the exception. The reason it's an exception is because it's a musical, a lively, likeable, witty one. The songs are Pinky and the Brain smart and Disney singable. The long version is that School's Out: The Musical manages to combine everything that makes Fairly OddParents such a great cartoon, while adding musical moments that stretch, without thinning, the show. Not only that, but the story is essentially a kid-friendly version of Aldous Huxley's SF novel, Brave New World. In short, it's a hit.
Summary of Fairly OddParents - School's Out! The Musical
It's the last day of school, and the kids of Dimmsdale eagerly await the start of those fun-filled months of Summer Vacation. But this summer the grownups of Dimmsdale are worried that their kids are getting too wild, so they call a town meeting to find a solution for their concerns. Enter Flappy Bob, the clown founder of Flappy Bob's Happy Peppy Learnatorium. Timmy and his friends are enrolled in Flappy Bob's school, and they immediately see all hope of a fun summer dwindling away. Timmy realizes he must find a way to bring fun back to summer, and it's all done through the magic of song.Animation DVD Video
