"Went to US Congress and found a lot of clowns but none of them were fun." Jesus Christ I miss the old writing of Fairly Odd Parents that's some funny shit!
My favorite part of this was "Where is the fun?" song where Flappy Bob is at a devastating crossroads from denying the fact that the Pixies were just using him for a grand scheme but they were sort of nice while Timmy was just kind of an asshole but kinda tells him that there's more to life than just being a business man for a place that was meant to keep kids safe but was a drag. Also the song's instrumentals were awesome. Like damn they didn't have to go that hard.
I always thought after this flappy bobs might have become a bit more of what it was probably soposed to be ,safer then kids just being free to do stuff on their own but also fun like the worst injury is from kids not following obvious rules and they have people who can fix up injuries like not absolute safety but safer since their are people watching them
Well he trusted the Pixies who basically raised him to not lead him astray, it's like you go to law school and your parents who have shown you nothing but love and support ask you to sign something, you skim it and sign it because why would you have any doubt to trust them? But yeah his Clown brain took over when he didn't fully read that contract XD
That’s more a jab at the American education system than anything. Most lawyers fresh out of law school are more like Phoenix Wright than Miles Edgeworth.
One of the things I loved most about this special was how the fairies treated summer vacation like it was new years. I found it ironic and cute how the kids were excited to have fun and the fairies were excited to get to work. It implies how much fairies love their jobs and their godchildren and I find it so sweet.
It is super sweet! The godparents all excited to spend summer with their godkids, keeping them safe from bad home lives while making their kids feel like they're the happiest ever(sadly I wouldn't be surprised if kids end up losing their fairies more in summer because of all the amazing wishes they make)
"Cosmo, Wanda, the people who could willingly turn the entire world into grey blobs, I wish no one was signed up for this camp." "YOU GOT IT TIMMY" *POOF* Special's main problem solved...
I love how that grey blob episode brought to light that even in a world where nobody has any visual distinctions, there are still people with prejudice.
From what I remember of the show, because of how structured yet cryptic it is, the legal system was one the few things fairy magic couldn’t affect(at least not much). Remember Timmy couldn’t counterfeit or wish his parents out of jail, and the most magic could do to affect laws was summoning a lawyer to stop a genie. Also, @@mettatonex7221the idea was brought up in Earth X.
Plot Twist: There 37 Year Long Plan comes into fruition in Fairly Odd Parents: A New Wish, and is the episode where Timmy is finally shown, which will also showcase the Pixies
Well the "104 days line" is supposed to be a tongue in cheek reference to how a cartoon needs at least 52 episodes in order to go to syndication. At least that's the reason behind that line I've seen.
When Butch Hartman interviewed Dan Povenmire, on his podcast, Povenmire said it was because he and his team confused summer vacation with summer itself
What? I didn’t forget it! I just never watched it again! I absolutely love it! And you’re right, the show deserves to have more musicals since the shows have such bops
It is the best song for Cosmo and Wanda, showing that they are literally each other's half. Which then hurts when Cosmo pulls all the "you're a nag, I'm trapped in this marriage, I have a huge crush on the Tooth Fairy" stuff, like I get being married for almost 10,000 years can lead to a few fights, but c'mon Cosmo if you thought all this about your wife who literally says she was lost in her life until she found you, then why didn't you get a divorce already? Were you scared of hurting her so deeply she would never want to look at you again, were you scared of her dad finding out? Sorry for the rambling.
i never forgot this special! i still go back and occasionally listen to some of the songs lol. like adults ruin everything and ofc everyone remembers the pixies song
I noticed that, with Summer starting in July and ending on Sept. 3rd. AND this may explain why Timmy still has Crocker for a teacher(not taking the 50 year time freeze into it). Some schools have you have the same teacher for multiple grades. And if Crocker is smart enough to teach at a College then I wouldn't doubt he has the education to teach fourth-sixth grade. But then their winter break ends the day after Christmas?
I will never forget this movie. I made it a yearly tradition to watch this every year once school got out for the summer. I even kept that up into college. The last time I ever watched it to continue that tradition was right after I graduated from college. I may never get to watch it after school gets out ever again, but I will always love this and keep coming back to it from time to time.
18:48 Yes! This is why I love this so much! I love music but I’ve never been a fan of musicals compared to normal stories because it always feels like the songs have a habit of interrupting the narrative. This special uses the songs to continue it and I freaking love it! I honestly feel like more musicals should take notes from this one, which has amazing bangers. My favorite is The Pixies. It’s just so damn cool and catchy, which is hilariously ironic.
You mentioned how School's Out was the only musical show for Fairy Oddparents but wasn't there another special that basically was a spoof of American Idol that also was a musical in this show? Fairy Idol? That's the special where I got the Pixies rap song confused (Sanderson sings a title song there that basically sounds like mid 2000s RnB) I forget the entire plot but I do remember the Genie and Chester playing huge parts of it.
Fairy Idol is not actually considered a musical. There’s 6 songs total in that special and 4-5 of them are just short 20 second song parodies and only 1 or twin of them being an original song. Schools out the musical had 11 original songs and was the only special they’ve released to be actually considered a musical by The Fairly Odd Parents team
@AggressivelyAverage it wasn't? Ah sorry. That's insane how you have an entire episode that's basically based on a musical performance show not be a musical.
It's these constant moments that show up where you can tell he's mostly desperately padding the video to mae it "video essay length" when he doesn't actually have much to say about an FOP special he watched as a kid. I feel like a LOT of "retrospective video essays" are just millenials' being nostalgic and trying everything they can to pad out the video because they feel like if they can make it into a "video essay", that SOMEHOW it'll make "I'm subjectively nostalgic" magically into a cerebral commentary.
I was 13 when this came out, and dude, everything was such a bop. I enjoyed this way too much hahaha Kids Just Being Kids was in my head for weeks. Where Is The Fun too!
I absolutely loved this special! You hit the nail on the head, the feeling of kids being excited about summer really shined through! The songs were really catchy and I also appreciated that they moved the plot along. There was also a lot of really funny jokes and moments in this too! A super fun musical and a great video showcasing it!
Omg im just realizing where's the fun has been in my head for the last 19 years i always wondered wht is this song that appeared in my head every blue moon
10:03 I'm guessing it's a sort of DnD style magic. The pixies can do petty bits of magic on their own like changing the style of a car but still keeping it as a car or spraying water in someone’s face. Meanwhile, wishes can fundamentally change how a world operates. Which is why wanda couldn't do anything the pixies had control of fairyworld and their magic.
I’m 36 now and when I watched this special episode on tv I was only 17. Man how time flies. This was one of my favorite episodes ever. It’s a great Summer story much like Goofy Movie or Recess school’s out. Please cover the ICarly Christmas special for the holiday season next month! Love this musical episode!
I'm surprised you didn't mentioned despite the side characters being pushed aside after the first act, how Crocker was the other adult among the rest who started off oblivious and only stating the kids aren't his problem till Sept 3rd.
You know what would also be finally time for this musical? An ACTUAL soundtrack release! Fairy Idol’s songs got included in the two volume releases for the series. Where the heck is School’s Out?!
I remember the one where Poof was born, and I remember enjoying that particular special, but also feeling like after that Poof had no real purpose in the show.
@@mettatonex7221 yeah I remember Fairy Baby as well, Poof was funny for his overexaggerated moments XD baby care ain't that ridiculous but still a chore, my parents laughed harder at the special XD
Does no one remember the one that was like American Idol but for magical creatures? He kept saying this was the only musical but that one sure had a lot of songs in it
13:50 In The Little Mermaid, King Triton tried breaking Ursula's contract to keep Ariel to no avail, as it's a binding contract. Same rules apply to Wanda.
And the Pixies definitely planned for Timmy, or any other kid with fairies in the area, to attempt to break the contract. Also, the Pixies met Timmy before this special so they knew that he would be the perfect addition to the 37 year plan.
2:29 I'm a bit old, but I think some older pick up trucks had those, even if it were automatic. When I was a kid in the early 90s, I think my dad's truck had one, but I don't remember seeing him shift gears.
Stick shifts don’t shift too often, just when gaining speed or coming to a stop Plus ya i just understood what you mean, yeah auto shifters would look a lot like stick shifts before the linear or puzzle piece like auto shifters started becoming a thing in the 80s
Im guessing the loop hole about being the last magic creature on earth but suppose to explain why Pixies can't grant the wish by someone to hand them fariy world... but it just doesn't really.
OH MY DOG I REMEMBER WATCHING THAT MUSICAL & SINGING ALONG TO IT- im so glad someone else knows abt this movie, the pixies are my favourite fairly oddparents characters :}
Oh, I LOVE this one!. It’s one of the best specials the show ever did! In fact, next to “channel chasers” I think it is my favorite! (at least if I’m not including holiday specials like the Halloween or first Christmas one) The songs were great and catchy, the plot was good, the humor was good it’s just a good viewing experience. I also remember the bloopers in there. I really liked that reminded of how Pixar used to do that for their movies. I know this sounds minor but think about it. this was A CARTOON, which meant, unless they had to create those mistakes ON PURPOSE just because they wanted to. It shows a kind of dedication that I think was sadly missing from the last few seasons of the show.
also you wanna know a forgotten Fairy odd parents special? "The big superhero wish" literally some scenes from that live rent-free in my head specially the big climax scene (if you know then you know)
I saw this a few times growing up but never saw it fully, but Floating With You will ALWAYS be my favorite song from this, because it shows us that Cosmo and Wanda would be nothing that they are today without each other. Wanda probably would have joined her dad in the Garbage business and Cosmo would have probably been banished from Fairy World after all he'd done(If you ask me, his mom sending him to the Fairy Military was probably her last ditch attempt to keep him away from Wanda, but when he was discharged he found her, probably proposed to her, told his mama he was going out for milk in his wedding suit which she didn't even think twice on, then met Wanda at the chapel and they were wed. Then they went to the Godparent Academy to get their licenses and became godparents for as long as they had been married. They had so many good and bad ones that they loved, then they got two of the best gifts-Timmy and later their birth son Poof/Peri, the sons they treasure and love even to this very day). After your description throughout this I cannot WAIT to watch it! I may find it actually more enjoyable as an adult because it can take me back to the time when I was kid just enjoying summer. Also at the beginning with HP and Sanderson driving a stick shift, I'm gonna say they stole it, or just made any car appear because they can drive it with magic, and that's why Sanderson isn't pushing the gas pedal. For Timmy to get to show us the caring side the show can't show all that often because time restraints is so sweet and refreshing, because it shows the type of kid Timmy truly is, he wants to enjoy his summer yes but if he sees someone being mistreated by someone he knows is up to no good he will help them find themselves again. He attempted it with Trixie but she rejected it out of fear of her social status, and he's always helping his friends or his parents...who mess it up usually, but hey he reunited Doug Dimmadome owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome with his son Dale Dimmadome who, 20 years later, would go on to be the biggest tech mogul with Dimmadome Global. All in all from the bare minimum I remember it was a good mini movie with banger songs that NEED to be fully released on some music service now. Thank you for reading this, and one last thing is I hope Betty is in a better place and Flappy Bob and his birth parents are happy and whole at whatever circus they are performing at(You GO Mama Wanda for bringing another family back together!)
That toilet joke is way too clever for its own good. Since head is another name for a toilet, so the "head of state" literally being in the shitter is just 👌.
I found myself engaged with the schools out musical because I almost felt that flappy bob's character arc resembled a person coming out of the closet. It's almost eerie how symbolic it is. A man struggling to accept being a colorful, flamboyant person yet repressing it because of how he was raised to perceive what was the "correct" way to live. He even expresses in song how he's not prepared to accept himself. "But changing my life's a risk I'm not ready to take." I bet that resonates with LGBTQ people now more than ever. I know i'm reading too much into this, but it's a nice arc of a man coming to accept himself for who he is.
so phineas and ferbs's 104 is actually based of standard cartoon practices. most cartoons run for 52 episodes, and since phineas and ferb has two11 minute stories in 1 episode, therefore 104 episodes or days. so timmy is closer lol
Depending on how many snow days schools get, some states push the final day of the school year off to mid-June (or somewhere in that area.) Thus, the exact number of days and weeks of Summer Break differs all over
Or with random crazy attacks to the schools that lead them not not being open because you happen to live in a city with kids who have Fairy Godparents XD
I still don't know how "The earth will be safe and fun as defined by flappy bob" broke the contract. Yes, flappy's definition can change, but that's only effecting his knowledge and on Earth. Control over fairy world is unrelated to the clause that effects Earth alone. As well as flappy doesn't know what faires are so "used to be" doesn't include children having fairies. As it's "used to be as defined by flappy", so it's how he remembers how the world was. Which to him only he had "rich people with the power to change things".
I'm sure Timmy added to it to fully turn things back to normal once the Contract was broken. And you know the Pixies would cover a lot in it that would link all together.
Honestly, I still think about this special. But I think it could be better than it was if some things of the current age were there. Plenty of Broadway actors and actresses make appearances with animated TV shows. Like Neil Patrick Harris in Penguins of Madagascar and Batman the Brave and the Bold. Or James Monroe Igleheart in Tangled.
songs from this special will sometimes surface in my head, hasnt happen lately, but will likely happen now that im watching a review of it So thank you and curse you
This musical was such a fever dream that I thought I made up the “Where is the fun?” song because I knew none of the context and only remembered a single verse
Out of all of the Fairly OddParents TV species/movies, I think School's Out! was the cream of the top and my favorite special ever (Fairy Idol being a close second--can you even say that special would be special with my fave villain Norm and his duet with Cosmo in the bop "Gimme The Wand"). All the songs were on point, especially from my other fave bad guys the Pixies, the story was great and really highlighted the kids' spirit realistically showing what might happen if they actually rule (like KND), and visuals and dialogue were great. It has a great message on fun, summer, and choosing your own path like Flappy Bob. Overall, 10/10 wands!
I fondly remember the Pixie Rap from when I was a kid, it's one of the few things I remembered about the movie at all. But I was NOT ready to learn it was performed by Method Man and Redman. No wonder it was such a banger.
He was 10 Years Old, he should be selfish. And even then he wishes for his friends and family to have things to make themselves happy but THEY get selfish with whatever wish Timmy gives them. Then Timmy has to wish those things away so they don't do something really bad.
I never noticed that Betty mite have died in the end of this specail,funny enough I did notice a similar thing in Disney's Mulan,Mulan was offered someone's job and the news caused him to freak out and fall to the ground and he was never seen again in that movie or even mentioned in sequel so I thought maybe the news was so shocking it killed him
The strong anti-adult messages in this special (like way more than usual) to me serves as a great reminder of how much better A New Wish handles parenting in particular, especially in regards to its protagonist and her parents. Because neither Angela nor Marcus are inherently terrible people, and are in fact quite likeable most of the time. It’s just that their jobs happen to be a bit on the demanding side- and even then, Marcus takes every opportunity he can get to spend time with Hazel, whom he has been shown constantly to have a very strong bond with. Likely in part because they’re both autistic but I digress 😂 In any case, when you consider the way the OG show portrayed the kids as flawed but the parents even more so, it stands to reason that a likeable but realistically flawed kid like Hazel would have likeable but realistically flawed parents to match. Just one of the dozens of reasons why A New Wish makes me so hesitant to go back to the original show because the reboot is just that good 😊
Fairy Idol. When Norm the Genie tricks Cosmo and Wanda into quitting and other fairies and magical creatures compete in a music competition to replace them in their jobs.
@@AggressivelyAverageWould be interesting though with “A new Wish” out. They could write a storyline of pixies targeting an unsuspecting adult Timmy Turner with Hazel and Dev trying to help without getting caught. Timmy could very well be the next Flappy Bob in their story. Maybe his memory was wiped so bad he forgot how to have fun.
@@spectralight8412 Oh wow that would be painful to see. Imagine his love for his godparents ran so deep that the memory wiped had to be increased to keep Timmy from ever remembering all the good and fun he had from a kid to a teenager with the fairies he considered his family over his own family. All he remembers is the rotten treatment his birth parents gave him and the torture Vicky put him through and he does his best to be a good parent himself but he can't bring himself to have fun because having fun in his eyes as an adult is ignoring your kids and he won't ignore his kids but doesn't remember what it means to be a kid having fun. Perfect for the Pixies to get their revenge on and achieve their goal(until Timmy gets his memories back and beats the pixie dust out of HP and Sanderson, and any other Pixie involved).
"only musical." Are you sure about that? It has been a long time, but at that mere mention, "give me the wand" pops into my head. What episode was that again? Fairy Idol? Does that really not count?
So basically, this is the exact opposite of Joker 2, seeing as the songs were good, the musical sections were entertaining and also good, and the musical sections actually moved the plot along.
"Went to US Congress and found a lot of clowns but none of them were fun."
Jesus Christ I miss the old writing of Fairly Odd Parents that's some funny shit!
That joke went over my head as a kid
The old writing was moderately mature. A lot of adult bonuses in the early seasons, especially jokes concerning politics and economics.
"Looks like those clowns in Congress did it again, what a bunch of clowns." DJ3000 - March 31, 1994
“I’m the president of kid world?”
“Well, everywhere but Florida, they’re still voting”
@@nickz4993 Oh snap, I'm only understanding that now. Lol
The fact that a Fairly Oddparents musical has the most accurate portrayal of gaslighting is beyond me
My favorite part of this was "Where is the fun?" song where Flappy Bob is at a devastating crossroads from denying the fact that the Pixies were just using him for a grand scheme but they were sort of nice while Timmy was just kind of an asshole but kinda tells him that there's more to life than just being a business man for a place that was meant to keep kids safe but was a drag.
Also the song's instrumentals were awesome. Like damn they didn't have to go that hard.
Completely agree with everything you just said. Absolute BANGER 🔥 🔥 🔥
@@AggressivelyAverage yeas my favorite to also pixi rap kids bein kids and my absolut favorite fairly oddparents song floating with you 😊❤
It hit unnecessary hard
I always thought after this flappy bobs might have become a bit more of what it was probably soposed to be ,safer then kids just being free to do stuff on their own but also fun like the worst injury is from kids not following obvious rules and they have people who can fix up injuries like not absolute safety but safer since their are people watching them
Best song
It may not be Channel Chaser tier but this movie is anything but forgotten.
True on both accounts.
Back in the day school break was from mid late may to early september. So closer to 104 days of summer vacation.
And school comes along just to end it...
For us it was early June to early September, but I might be remembering wrong
@@TheAverageGamer1that was the same for me when I went to school
I be buildings rockets and fighting mummies 😂
For me it was June to early September
My favorite part is how flappy bob went through law school and then just blindly signed a contract
Well he trusted the Pixies who basically raised him to not lead him astray, it's like you go to law school and your parents who have shown you nothing but love and support ask you to sign something, you skim it and sign it because why would you have any doubt to trust them? But yeah his Clown brain took over when he didn't fully read that contract XD
Never said it was a good law school
That’s more a jab at the American education system than anything. Most lawyers fresh out of law school are more like Phoenix Wright than Miles Edgeworth.

2:29 I'm a bit old, but I think some older pick up trucks had those, even if it were automatic. When I was a kid in the early 90s, I think my dad's truck had one, but I don't remember seeing him shift gears.
That’s actually really good detail accuracy on the creators of the show if that’s true
Stick shifts don’t shift too often, just when gaining speed or coming to a stop
Plus ya i just understood what you mean, yeah auto shifters would look a lot like stick shifts before the linear or puzzle piece like auto shifters started becoming a thing in the 80s
Daran Norris also played Gordy the janitor on Neds Declassified
He can play so many roles and do so many voices, he's a KING!
Im guessing the loop hole about being the last magic creature on earth but suppose to explain why Pixies can't grant the wish by someone to hand them fariy world... but it just doesn't really.
OH MY DOG I REMEMBER WATCHING THAT MUSICAL & SINGING ALONG TO IT-
im so glad someone else knows abt this movie, the pixies are my favourite fairly oddparents characters :}
Forgotten?! This isn’t forgotten, I still have it on VHS.
Oh, I LOVE this one!. It’s one of the best specials the show ever did! In fact, next to “channel chasers” I think it is my favorite! (at least if I’m not including holiday specials like the Halloween or first Christmas one) The songs were great and catchy, the plot was good, the humor was good it’s just a good viewing experience.
I also remember the bloopers in there. I really liked that reminded of how Pixar used to do that for their movies. I know this sounds minor but think about it. this was A CARTOON, which meant, unless they had to create those mistakes ON PURPOSE just because they wanted to. It shows a kind of dedication that I think was sadly missing from the last few seasons of the show.
also you wanna know a forgotten Fairy odd parents special? "The big superhero wish"
literally some scenes from that live rent-free in my head
specially the big climax scene (if you know then you know)
It’s not forgotten to me, I just watched this yesterday!
This is my favorite Fairly OddParents Special, second behind Channel Chasers.
The songs are great & the Pixies Rap is my favorite
Pixie rap is absolute fire 🔥
''hard to put it in words'
nick: ''wriths a full musical''
Forgotten? This was one the best ones!
I sing songs from this musical often its my favorite.
I saw this a few times growing up but never saw it fully, but Floating With You will ALWAYS be my favorite song from this, because it shows us that Cosmo and Wanda would be nothing that they are today without each other. Wanda probably would have joined her dad in the Garbage business and Cosmo would have probably been banished from Fairy World after all he'd done(If you ask me, his mom sending him to the Fairy Military was probably her last ditch attempt to keep him away from Wanda, but when he was discharged he found her, probably proposed to her, told his mama he was going out for milk in his wedding suit which she didn't even think twice on, then met Wanda at the chapel and they were wed. Then they went to the Godparent Academy to get their licenses and became godparents for as long as they had been married. They had so many good and bad ones that they loved, then they got two of the best gifts-Timmy and later their birth son Poof/Peri, the sons they treasure and love even to this very day).
After your description throughout this I cannot WAIT to watch it! I may find it actually more enjoyable as an adult because it can take me back to the time when I was kid just enjoying summer. Also at the beginning with HP and Sanderson driving a stick shift, I'm gonna say they stole it, or just made any car appear because they can drive it with magic, and that's why Sanderson isn't pushing the gas pedal. For Timmy to get to show us the caring side the show can't show all that often because time restraints is so sweet and refreshing, because it shows the type of kid Timmy truly is, he wants to enjoy his summer yes but if he sees someone being mistreated by someone he knows is up to no good he will help them find themselves again. He attempted it with Trixie but she rejected it out of fear of her social status, and he's always helping his friends or his parents...who mess it up usually, but hey he reunited Doug Dimmadome owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome with his son Dale Dimmadome who, 20 years later, would go on to be the biggest tech mogul with Dimmadome Global. All in all from the bare minimum I remember it was a good mini movie with banger songs that NEED to be fully released on some music service now.
Thank you for reading this, and one last thing is I hope Betty is in a better place and Flappy Bob and his birth parents are happy and whole at whatever circus they are performing at(You GO Mama Wanda for bringing another family back together!)
Channel Chasers > School's Out > Abra Catastrophe. All three were the golden age of Fairly Odd Parents.
That toilet joke is way too clever for its own good.
Since head is another name for a toilet, so the "head of state" literally being in the shitter is just 👌.
I could never forget this masterpiece
I found myself engaged with the schools out musical because I almost felt that flappy bob's character arc resembled a person coming out of the closet. It's almost eerie how symbolic it is. A man struggling to accept being a colorful, flamboyant person yet repressing it because of how he was raised to perceive what was the "correct" way to live. He even expresses in song how he's not prepared to accept himself. "But changing my life's a risk I'm not ready to take." I bet that resonates with LGBTQ people now more than ever. I know i'm reading too much into this, but it's a nice arc of a man coming to accept himself for who he is.
It's hilarious because you know Butch Hartman didn't purposefully write it that way.
So Timmy has entire armies at his disposal, but there are no wars?
Where is the fun is such a Bop.🔥🔥
This lives rent free in my head too.
17:35 The Truman- I mean, Timmy. The Timmy Show.
"What could possibly go wrong?"
Bro not gonna mention how that opening is just superman
so phineas and ferbs's 104 is actually based of standard cartoon practices. most cartoons run for 52 episodes, and since phineas and ferb has two11 minute stories in 1 episode, therefore 104 episodes or days. so timmy is closer lol
Depending on how many snow days schools get, some states push the final day of the school year off to mid-June (or somewhere in that area.)
Thus, the exact number of days and weeks of Summer Break differs all over
Or with random crazy attacks to the schools that lead them not not being open because you happen to live in a city with kids who have Fairy Godparents XD
I still don't know how "The earth will be safe and fun as defined by flappy bob" broke the contract.
Yes, flappy's definition can change, but that's only effecting his knowledge and on Earth.
Control over fairy world is unrelated to the clause that effects Earth alone.
As well as flappy doesn't know what faires are so "used to be" doesn't include children having fairies. As it's "used to be as defined by flappy", so it's how he remembers how the world was. Which to him only he had "rich people with the power to change things".
I'm sure Timmy added to it to fully turn things back to normal once the Contract was broken. And you know the Pixies would cover a lot in it that would link all together.
18:15 Uncle Hank mentioned
Honestly, I still think about this special. But I think it could be better than it was if some things of the current age were there. Plenty of Broadway actors and actresses make appearances with animated TV shows. Like Neil Patrick Harris in Penguins of Madagascar and Batman the Brave and the Bold. Or James Monroe Igleheart in Tangled.
The "she doesn't like you like that" gag is my favorite in the entire special
songs from this special will sometimes surface in my head, hasnt happen lately, but will likely happen now that im watching a review of it
So thank you
and curse you
"Pull Back The Fairies" is the best song of the series
This musical was such a fever dream that I thought I made up the “Where is the fun?” song because I knew none of the context and only remembered a single verse
Out of all of the Fairly OddParents TV species/movies, I think School's Out! was the cream of the top and my favorite special ever (Fairy Idol being a close second--can you even say that special would be special with my fave villain Norm and his duet with Cosmo in the bop "Gimme The Wand"). All the songs were on point, especially from my other fave bad guys the Pixies, the story was great and really highlighted the kids' spirit realistically showing what might happen if they actually rule (like KND), and visuals and dialogue were great. It has a great message on fun, summer, and choosing your own path like Flappy Bob. Overall, 10/10 wands!
This is my favorite Fairly Odd Parents movie after Channel Chasers. It's definitely not forgotten
I fondly remember the Pixie Rap from when I was a kid, it's one of the few things I remembered about the movie at all. But I was NOT ready to learn it was performed by Method Man and Redman.
No wonder it was such a banger.
I can never forget this school's out, i still remember pixies to this day its up there with give me the wand and the chip skylark songs
"Pull back the fairies is so catchy I might get up to shake my ass" 🤣🤣
Man i miss when summer break actually felt like a 3 month holiday.
The crew of the new series say Timmy was always a selfish person and I point episodes/specials like this as proof that wasn’t always case with him
He was 10 Years Old, he should be selfish. And even then he wishes for his friends and family to have things to make themselves happy but THEY get selfish with whatever wish Timmy gives them. Then Timmy has to wish those things away so they don't do something really bad.
This musical was amazing, and I remember it coming out when I was 10. Loved it!
AJ's clones from the Jimmy Timmy Power Hour, return in this episode, it is canon after all
I never noticed that Betty mite have died in the end of this specail,funny enough I did notice a similar thing in Disney's Mulan,Mulan was offered someone's job and the news caused him to freak out and fall to the ground and he was never seen again in that movie or even mentioned in sequel so I thought maybe the news was so shocking it killed him
The strong anti-adult messages in this special (like way more than usual) to me serves as a great reminder of how much better A New Wish handles parenting in particular, especially in regards to its protagonist and her parents.
Because neither Angela nor Marcus are inherently terrible people, and are in fact quite likeable most of the time. It’s just that their jobs happen to be a bit on the demanding side- and even then, Marcus takes every opportunity he can get to spend time with Hazel, whom he has been shown constantly to have a very strong bond with. Likely in part because they’re both autistic but I digress 😂
In any case, when you consider the way the OG show portrayed the kids as flawed but the parents even more so, it stands to reason that a likeable but realistically flawed kid like Hazel would have likeable but realistically flawed parents to match. Just one of the dozens of reasons why A New Wish makes me so hesitant to go back to the original show because the reboot is just that good 😊
I think I saw this when it came out🤯🤯🤯 I don't remember tho
I remember waiting for weeks for this. I’m 27 so it came out at the perfect time for me as well
I had this on vhs and watched it a lot so i could never forget it
This one’s a fever dream for me. I barely have any memory of this happening
I need to go watch this right now! The songs have lived rent free in my mind for years (along with fairy idol) and I barely remember the plot.
I loved Gimme the Wand. Don't remember what the episode/special was though.
Fairy Idol.
When Norm the Genie tricks Cosmo and Wanda into quitting and other fairies and magical creatures compete in a music competition to replace them in their jobs.
I was born 2001 and I just so vaguely remember this.. And it still gives me nostalgia
Hearing you’re born before the year 2000 makes me feel old 😭
God I loved this one. Still listen to some of these songs.
This special was the boom whenever it came on during summer vacation in my childhood
The is the sequel ever gonna happen? After all they said Timmy will pay when he turns 47… will he ever have?
I’m still holding out hope but I’ve got a feeling it’s not on the top of nickelodeons list 😆
@@AggressivelyAverageWould be interesting though with “A new Wish” out. They could write a storyline of pixies targeting an unsuspecting adult Timmy Turner with Hazel and Dev trying to help without getting caught. Timmy could very well be the next Flappy Bob in their story. Maybe his memory was wiped so bad he forgot how to have fun.
@@spectralight8412 Oh wow that would be painful to see. Imagine his love for his godparents ran so deep that the memory wiped had to be increased to keep Timmy from ever remembering all the good and fun he had from a kid to a teenager with the fairies he considered his family over his own family. All he remembers is the rotten treatment his birth parents gave him and the torture Vicky put him through and he does his best to be a good parent himself but he can't bring himself to have fun because having fun in his eyes as an adult is ignoring your kids and he won't ignore his kids but doesn't remember what it means to be a kid having fun. Perfect for the Pixies to get their revenge on and achieve their goal(until Timmy gets his memories back and beats the pixie dust out of HP and Sanderson, and any other Pixie involved).
Thank you for reminding me of the Pixie rap 😆
Who's Dean Norris? I only know Daran Norris.
is it just me or was this episode cut off halfway when they put it on netflix back in the day?
It premiered in 2 parts in America so most streaming services have it as 2 episodes while some combine it to be one long episode
@AggressivelyAverage yeah but they never showed the second part
You couldn’t tell me this wasn’t the best movie that I ever saw when I was a kid
I love this and I watch it all the time ❤
Certified classic
"only musical." Are you sure about that? It has been a long time, but at that mere mention, "give me the wand" pops into my head. What episode was that again? Fairy Idol? Does that really not count?
So basically, this is the exact opposite of Joker 2, seeing as the songs were good, the musical sections were entertaining and also good, and the musical sections actually moved the plot along.
This is the Joke 2 we deserved 😂
"Hey, that's my line!" 🤡
It's even got clowns!
Well, maybe 90% of our country has forgotten about this movie, but as for me, who still has the original dvd release, I'll never forget this movie.
Underrated special fr.
The songs didn’t have to go hard as they did. Like why was I out here shaking my ass? 😭😂
