Description: An intergalactic tale about the adventures of Jimmy Neutron, a 10-year-old boy with an exceptionally high IQ and a prodigious imagination. Always inventing gadgets to make his life in Retroville more interesting, Jimmy is a boy genius with real kid emotions. Jimmy has a great sense of fun and adventure but his inventions often get him into trouble, so Jimmy sometimes fantasizes about living life on his own. But when Jimmy's parents and all the adults in his hometown are kidnapped by invading aliens--the dreaded "Yokians", a group of green, gooey, egg-yolk creatures with eyes that sit in glass shells--Jimmy quickly discovers that things aren't so great without moms and dads. And so, armed with his cool inventions, Jimmy and his buddies--his trusty robot dog, Goddard, his best friend Carl Wheezer and his rival, Cindy Vortex--soar to the stars and back in one zany afternoon.

Description: The soundtrack to Nickelodeon's computer-animated feature Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius features a somewhat random mix of teen pop and classic new wave singles, mixing songs like True Vibe's glossy ballad "I Can Count on You" with the Go Go's' "We Got the Beat". The album also features covers of new wave favorites such as Melissa Lefton's "He Blinded Me With Science" and No Secrets' "Kids in America"; while neither of them are as good as the original versions, they're still pretty entertaining. Aaron Carter contributes almost one-fifth of the soundtrack's music, including pop-rap songs like "A. C.'s Alien Nation" and "Go Jimmy Jimmy", Other highlights include 'N Sync's "Pop (Deep Dish Cha-Ching Remix)," the industrial/electro/teen pop collage of Britney Spears' "Intimidated", and Bowling for Soup's theme for the film. As befitting the film's relatively hip look, Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius does a pretty good job of presenting cool music for kids.
