:05:00
I can hang out with Ultra Lord!
:05:02
And there's a petting zoo.
:05:04
Well, look at this.
:05:05
Let's go!
:05:07
The look of Jimmy Neutron
is done with 3-D computer graphics,
:05:12
so it's not like a 2-D show,
it's not hand-painted.
:05:16
All the characters
are constructed on the computer.
:05:19
It's like having a live-action set
in the computer.
:05:22
The first thing they'll wanna see
is the animatic.
:05:25
When we're designing the characters,
we'll design them on paper,
:05:29
and sculpt maquettes
out of some of the main characters,
:05:34
and then the modellers can take those
:05:37
and build the same thing
in the computer.
:05:40
We can make modifications right there
in the computer, and it works great.
:05:44
Engaging pulse rockets now!
:05:48
We love the "squash and stretch" and
action of the Looney Tunes heritage,
:05:52
and to take Looney Tunes into CGI
and make a cartoon-animated world
:05:57
that takes advantage
of what computer graphics can do,
:06:01
you've got something
very different and very special.
:06:03
It's original, it seems to me,
the art for this.
:06:06
It's extraordinary, animation today.
:06:09
Whereas once upon a time we were
used to a classic style of animation,
:06:14
now you never know
what you're going to see.
:06:25
How many times have we told you
not to launch yourself off the roof?
:06:30
Probably nine.
:06:32
Exactly nine. They say repetition
is good for a developing brain.
:06:36
Jimmy's parents are fantastic because
they accept the fact that he is a genius.
:06:40
I received a message from outer space
but it was garbled in the ionosphere...
:06:44
Message from space? Wow!
:06:47
They're great characters in themselves,
cos his mom can fix the car,
:06:51
and she's obviously
the engineering part of the family.
:06:54
The father has sort of
a wide-eyed innocence himself.
:06:58
He loves the toys in the cereal box.
