'''''Fairy Idol''''' is a ''[[The Fairly OddParents|Fairly OddParents]]'' movie, which premiered on [[May 19]], [[2006]]. The title and plot parody the television show ''[[American Idol]]''. Before the premier of the show, an online poll at [[Nick.com]] went live to see which character was set to win the contest. At the end of the run, Cosmo was the winner with over 300,000 votes. On the film's premiere night, 3 million viewers tuned in to watch the show. The same day [[Bo Bice]], ''American Idol'' season four runner-up, hosted the Nickelodeon airing on [[May 19]], [[2006]] in the U.S., as he "knows something about" these kinds of contests. The movie is notable for having no moving title screen and just a plain one, like the regular episodes. |
|||
Originally, as [[Norm the Genie]] was slated to appear in the movie, [[Norm MacDonald]] was meant to reprise his role. However, due to scheduling conflicts, he was unable to do so. The creators turned instead to [[Robert Cait]].<ref>[http://normnews.com/4436.html ''Norm the Genie Returns for More Mischief: Norm MacDonald NOT Voicing Character Based On Him'']</ref> |
|||
==Plot== |
|||
The movie starts with Norm the Genie having been released from his lava lamp by the mayor of Dimmsdale. Norm is ranting about his frustration with his life as a Genie. His masters have been consistently "lame"; their wishes unimaginative. He also considers his lamp barely inhabitable. While waiting for the mayor's third wish, Norm reads a copy of ''[[Da Rules]]'' given to him by [[Cosmo]] ("Here! You can have this! There's no pictures in it!")and learns that if any Godparent quits, the vacancy is open to any magical, wish-granting creature in the known universe. Deciding that this is the way to escape his lamp once and for all, Norm prepares a wish for the Mayor that includes a stipulation placing Norm near [[Timmy Turner|Timmy]], because, Norm says, he knows that the "perfect idiot fairies" he will be able to trick into quitting are Cosmo and Wanda. |
|||
[[Chester McBadbat|Chester]] finds Norm's lamp, and, after a pre-emptive free wish, wishes that Timmy had more time to hang out. Norm reveals the wish to Timmy, providing a clone to fill in for him to the rest of the world while he spends time with Chester; and to his Godparents, distracting them with a "Hunky Chocolate Candy Bar" for Wanda and a piece of string for Cosmo. The clone, however, is surlier and meaner than the real Timmy, who had been more selfish than normal recently. The real Timmy returns home to find that his Godparents have quit. Norm gloats, and informs Timmy that [[Jorgen Von Strangle|Jorgen]] will be arriving shortly to reclaim the fairies and wipe Timmy's memory. Timmy dives into his closet to hide. The Timmy clone is thrown in the closet with the real Timmy, and he manages to shove the clone out, causing Jorgen to wipe the clone's memory instead. Nonetheless, Timmy is left with no Godparents and all the toys and goods he attained through them disappear. |
|||
In Fairy World, Cosmo and Wanda say they didn't want to quit being Godparents, they just wanted to quit being Timmy's Godparents. In spite of their protests, Jorgen proclaims that a new fairy godparent will be determined by "a super fantabulous singing contest". Meanwhile, Norm tricks Chester into wishing that his father, the disgraced ex-baseball player Bucky McBadbat, is the best baseball player in the major leagues, and the McBadbats end up living "the good life". This marks the second time Chester's father is seen without his bag. However, Norm adds that he will be in Fairy World for a week, and Chester, delirious with joy over the idea that he and his father will be wealthy and happy, agrees. |
|||
The contest begins, with several past characters as contestants, including the Tooth Fairy, the April Fool, [[Juandissimo Magnifico]], Cupid, and [[School's Out: The Musical|Sanderson the Pixie]]. Timmy sneaks into [[Denzel Q. Crocker|Crocker's]] fairy research lab, uses a sleeping gas grenade on him and uses his recently designed and functional Fairy World portal. The April Fool's ejection from the studio and his collision with the guard serves as Timmy's chance to enter. After being caught and caged by two guards, Timmy dons a set of Crocker's clothes (much of it designed to fight magic) and escapes, catching Cosmo and Wanda in a butterfly net in order to get a chance to apologize; although Cosmo is easy enough to win over (with an "apology cookie"), Wanda is still angry with Timmy for being so selfish and thoughtless. Meanwhile, as the first of many song parodies, Juandissimo Magnifico performs "I'm Too Sexy for My Sexy". Also, Cosmo gets and learns singing from a video involved with [[Diana DeGarmo]] |
|||
At the end of the competition, Cosmo and Wanda are the winners; however, Norm uses the butterfly net to prevent them from using magic, then aims a wrecking ball at them to incapacitate them, making him the winner by default and causing him to be assigned to the most miserable child on earth. After a long satellite scan, that child is revealed to be Chester, whose success wish had backfired, first when his dad's fame kept him apart from him (similar to Timmy's scenario in the episode "[[Odd Jobs/Movie Magic|Odd Jobs]]"), then when their riches were repossessed and Mr. McBadbat jailed due to massive debt. |
|||
While Timmy and his former Godparents are walking home before they must separate for good, Chester sees him crying and wishes for Norm to be transferred to him. When Norm reveals his grand plan, Timmy refuses to wish for anything for two weeks, knowing that Norm will eventually explode from "magic buildup", which he does. Norm promises to grant a wish properly if he is returned to normal, but quits Godparenting before granting the wish, out of spite. Jorgen once again returns to wipe Timmy's memory, but Chester, who still has not made his third genie wish, reverts everything to the point before he found Norm's lamp. Norm is forcibly sucked back into the lamp, and Timmy (who has learned to be considerably less selfish) is reunited with his Godparents. Unfortunately, he leaves them alone for too long so he can hang out with Chester, and they explode as well, which Cosmo doesn't seem to mind ("Neat! I'm string!"). |

==Trivia/Goofs== |
|||
{{Trivia|date=September 2007}} |
|||
* Simon is an obvious spoof of Simon Cowell, one of the judges of American Idol. Also, his first (and only other) appearance is in "Timmy TV". |
|||
* One of the female genies with whom Norm is seen is Jeannie from the sitcom [[I Dream of Jeannie]]. |
|||
* Cosmo holds up a video of "''How to sing like [[Diana DeGarmo]]''". DeGarmo, ''Idol'' season three runner-up, then performs in DeGarmo's singing voice. |
|||
* In the opening session of ''Fairy Idol'', [[Butch Hartman]] and the rest of the staff of ''The Fairly Oddparents'' are shown as fairies. |
|||
* The lawn gnome's performance, "We're not Pixies", is an obvious reference to "''[[School's Out: The Musical]]''". |
|||
* Jorgen Von Strangle uses the [[Men in Black]] style mind eraser ("Now with Forget-a-Cin!") in this episode; last seen in "The Secret Origin of Denzel Crocker". |
|||
* Juandissimo tries out for Fairy Idol, yet he is assigned as Remy's fairy godparent. |
|||
* [[Redman (rapper)|Redman]] had Sanderson's rapping voice in School's Out instead of [[Method Man]] who did Head Pixie's rapping voice. |
|||
* Even though Jorgan said there are no duets in Fairy Idol, in the second part of "Gimme the Wand" Norm and Cosmo are technically singing a duet. |
|||
* It seems that they don't allow duets, but they do allow trios because there were 3 lawn gnomes performing the song "We're Not Pixies". |
|||
* When Chester goes to "help" the penguins, he goes to the North Pole. Penguins are only found in the Southern Hemisphere. |
|||
* In the beginning Norm shows a 15-minute "Genie Wish Video"-in which 3 wishes granted by genies fall into a pattern: Wish # 1 is used to wish for something stupid; Wish # 2 is used to make the wisher all powerful; Wish # 3 is used to turn everything the way it was before the wisher met the genie. This is how the story line in the movie turns out as well. |
|||
* Throughout the movie, Binky, Blonda, and Simon's seats rearrange. |
|||
* When Jorgen Von Strangle gets rid of every magical thing Timmy ever came into contact with, he makes the bed disappear. But when Timmy realizes that his fairies are gone, the bed reappears. |
|||
* Norm spelling genie as "GENiE" may be a reference to [[Homestar Runner]] who, on several occasions, use a lowercase I in place of a uppercase. |
|||
== Judge Jokes == |
|||
1. When the witch comes up to sing "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" (it is assumed that she is a fairy version of the [[Wicked Witch of the West]] in ''[[The Wizard of Oz (1939)|The Wizard of Oz]]'') a house falls on her. Simon says "Wow. You really brought the house down." In reality, when ''Idol'' runner-up [[Katharine McPhee]] performed the song, the real Simon said (in a slightly indifferent tone) that it was an outstanding performance. |
|||
2. The Tooth Fairy sang "My Shiny Teeth And Me" by Chippington Skylark III (A.K.A. [[Chip Skylark]]) because she is a fan (his teeth are her greatest work). Blonda said "Those notes were so high only [[dolphin]]s could hear them", and we see a dolphin cheering in the audience. In reality, a contestant on ''Idol'' performed a song in [[falsetto]]. |
