In production order, this movie is divided in three 1-hour-long episodes: The Big Beginning, The Exciting Middle Part, and The Final Ending. "Wishology" is the first and only Fairly OddParents episode to be broadcast in widescreen High Definition.
The movie features the hard rock band Kiss, with Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley voicing their Kiss personas "The Demon" and "The Starchild", respectively. Other notable guest stars are Patrick Warburton voicing the MERF agents (a parody of Men in Black), and Brendan Fraser voicing Turbo Thunder.
The movie features spoofs of hit science fiction and fantasy film franchises, such as Harry Potter, Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, The Matrix, Twitches, Doctor Who, The Terminator, Back to the Future, and many others.
Plot Summary
Robots, called "the Eliminators", appear in Dimmsdale searching for the "chosen one". Jorgen von Strangle saves Timmy Turner from them and then transports him to Fairy World. There, Jorgen takes Timmy to the "Cave of Destiny" where he explains a legend inscribed in the rock about the ancient fairies that fought the Eliminators and their master, a giant black hole called "the Darkness". A prophecy is also inscribed explaining that someone with a pink hat, buck teeth and the initials TT is to become the "chosen one" and defeat the Darkness once more.
From that moment, Timmy Turner sets out to retrieve a special magic wand to defeat the Darkness. The wand turns out to be a star-shaped electric guitar guarded by the rock band Kiss. After defeating the Darkness for the first time, a muscular man named Turbo Thunder appears claiming to be the "real" chosen one. When the Darkness returns, Timmy must enlist the help of both his friends and former enemies to retrieve a second and a third magic wand, and with help from Turbo Thunder stop the Darkness and the rogue Eliminators once and for all.
Synopsis
Part 1: The Big Beginning
The episode begins with Timmy Turner (voiced by Tara Strong) wishing he was in his own movie trilogy (which parodies The Matrix, The Lord of the Rings, and Harry Potter). Timmy is interrupted by Jorgen von Strangle (voiced by Daran Norris), who sends him back home. At home, Timmy can't find Cosmo, Wanda or Poof, and his family and friends don't remember him. When Timmy screams out his own name, an "Eliminator" (a spoof of the Terminator, voiced by Gary Sturgis) shows up and begins attacking him. Jorgen saves Timmy and informs him that he has erased the memory of him from people in order to protect him, and that the rest of the fairies are fine. In reality, Jorgen turned them all into gumballs and stuck them in a gumball machine in a truck stop bar.
Jorgen takes Timmy to a cave in Fairy World called the "Cave of Destiny" (a parody of the Cave of Wonders) where there is the prophecy engraved in the stone about the ancient fairies that fought the Eliminators and their master, a giant black hole called "the Darkness". The prophecy also explains that someone with a pink hat, buck teeth and the initials TT is the "chosen one" who will use a special magic wand to defeat the Darkness once more. Thinking he is the chosen one, Timmy sets out to "find the white wand in the rock sealed with a kiss".
After finding Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof, Timmy gets chased by M.E.R.F. Alien Hunters (spoofing Men in Black, voiced by Patrick Warburton). They believe he is an extraterrestrial due to the fact that he doesn't seem to exist and that photographs have been taken of him with the Eliminators. After a battle of wits, Timmy uses the Alien Hunter's freeze ray and freezes them. Timmy then steals an airplane and ends up in a Kiss concert in Las Vegas. There, Timmy finds out that Kiss are actually "fairy guardians" and that the White Wand is one of their star-shaped electric guitars. Although, initially they don't believe Timmy is the chosen one, they change their minds when the Eliminators and the Darkness arrive. Timmy plays the White Wand and forces the Darkness back with magical bursts from the guitar (similar to the video game Guitar Hero). The Darkness then retreats taking all the Eliminators with it.
With the Darkness defeated, the concert continues in Fairy World. Shortly after, a muscular looking man complete with a pink armor and pink hat arrives announcing himself as Turbo Thunder (voiced by Brendan Fraser), the real "chosen one". As he discovers that he is too late, everyone just goes on to enjoy the concert.
Note: In this chapter Poof's new power is eating rings.
Part 2: The Exciting Middle Part
As the episode begins, Timmy Turner is basking in the glory of being the Chosen One in Fairy World. It turns out that he isn't such a hero after all, when it becomes clear that the Darkness has returned. Timmy wants to stay in Fairy World despite Wanda (voiced by Susanne Blakeslee) urging him to go home because she believes his parents are worried about him. When the Darkness devours Mark Chang's (voiced by Rob Paulsen) home planet, Yugopotamia, Mark goes to Earth for help. In the process, the Eliminators take transmutation belts ("Fake-i-fiers"), just like the one Mark uses to change forms. After escaping from the Eliminators, who now transform into various people, Timmy and Mark go to Fairy World to get help from the real chosen one, Turbo Thunder. However, they arrive late as Jorgen has banished Turbo Thunder to an unknown place for being "annoying".
In the Cave of Destiny, Timmy and Mark discover a previously unseen portion of the prophecy, which is written in Yugopotamian language. The prophecy reveals that the heroes must retrieve a second magic wand on "the dark side of the blue moon". Afterwards, the Eliminators conquer Fairy World and imprison all the fairies. Timmy and Mark escape to Timmy's house through a portal that appears right on the prophecy. Unfortunately, the Eliminators are already there, disguised as Timmy's parents and friends. Timmy manages to stop the Darkness and destroy the Eliminators by throwing various gifts into the Darkness, including a boom box, some roller skates, and some cocktail weenies. The Eliminators survive, however, and absorb the items Timmy threw into the Darkness. With the fairies and friends locked up in Fairy World's greatest prison, Abracatraz (a parody of Azkaban and Alcatraz), Timmy and Mark are forced to team up with Timmy's enemies, Denzel Crocker (voiced by Carlos Alazraqui), Vicky (voiced by Grey DeLisle), and Dark Laser (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson), in order to go into space to find the Blue Moon and the second wand. Inside Dark Laser's spaceship the crew receives clothing which makes them to look like Star Wars characters: Timmy as Luke Skywalker, Mark as R2-D2, Crocker as Chewbacca, and Vicky as Princess Leia. Along the way, they make a pit stop at a bar on Frigadaria (a parody of Mos Eisley Cantina from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope). The Eliminators follow them and capture Vicky, Crocker and Dark Laser with ease. Timmy, only trying to be nice, shakes the hand of the head Eliminator (voiced by Gary Sturgis), and they all go haywire. At that moment, Turbo Thunder, the acclaimed real chosen one, shows up and lies to Timmy to make him reveal the location of the second wand. To save their lives, Mark swallows Timmy whole and stows away on Turbo Thunder's ship. When they reach the Blue Moon, Mark regurgitates Timmy.
Meanwhile, in Fairy World's prison, Cosmo, Wanda, Poof, Jorgen, Mr. and Mrs. Turner, Trixie, Chester, and AJ all band together to help Timmy. Using kung fu learned by watching TV, Poof defeats a group of Eliminators and frees everyone from their prison cell. Together, they use Jorgen's magic to warp to the Blue Moon as Timmy passes the test of the guardian to get access to the second wand. Even with Timmy's friends and family successfully driving the Eliminators back with a combined magical attack, their reunion is cut short when the Darkness tries to inhale everyone. Timmy tries using the second wand, but it only puffs a big wind and does nothing. Timmy realizes the Darkness only wants him, so he climbs the rope his friends and family made and gets pulled into the Darkness.
After Timmy's sacrifice, Jorgen and the others firmly decide to save him. The episode ends with the words "To Be Continued". This is the first ever The Fairly OddParents episode or movie with a cliffhanger.
Note: Poof's new power is martial arts.
Part 3: The Final Ending
Timmy awakens inside of his own room again. He is told by his godparents that he used his chosen one powers to destroy the Darkness and Jorgen then erased everyone's memories of what happened. Timmy simply wants a normal day but it turns into a disaster, so he wishes for the best day ever. However, Timmy started to notice everyone acting weirdly and it eventually led him to discover that he was NOT in Dimmsdale, but inside the Darkness. Cosmo, Wanda, Poof and Jorgen disguise themselves as Eliminators and enter the Darkness, bringing Timmy safely back to Earth (strangely, the Darkness kept Timmy close to its one weak point, its heart). The Darkness now wants Timmy safely back, but the Eliminator that first chased him (the future Destructinator) is still set on destroying Timmy when the Darkness does not want him destroyed. Even after he is destroyed and sent plummeting into the ocean on Earth, he magically reassembles himself and takes off to face Timmy. Back on the real Dimmsdale, Timmy reunites with his family and friends in the Timmy Cave beneath his house and they relay what has happened so far before the Eliminator returns. He not only absorbs Jorgen's wand and sends Timmy's friends and family into the Darkness, but pursues Timmy all the way to the Dimmsdale Mall. Cosmo, enraged that he openly attacked them, transforms into a giant Godzilla like creature named Coszilla, and, even though he had the advantage now, he stupidly made their magic wands vanish, causing him to then exclaim that this mistake could very well be his biggest blunder ever. But before he can finish Timmy, the Eliminator was targeted by a large assault from MERF, only he managed to absorb a high number of bombs and missiles (along with a giant kitchen sink Built In 1952 for a joke) fired at him, taking a massive change in appearance. With a massive power boost, the Eliminator uses its new found magical powers to completely solidify the Earth in a giant steel casing and change all the humans (the MERF group, to be more precise) into his robotic henchmen as Timmy and his fairies escape. At this point, he now dons himself the Destructinator, the true antagonist of the Wishology trilogy.
Timmy and his fairies return to the Blue Moon to retrieve the second wand and run into a weakened Turbo Thunder. He then reveals the true reason why the second wand did nothing when Timmy used it. Its true purpose was to "light the way", as the entire planet turned to face the sun and powered up the wand. It was then revealed that beneath the moon's surface was a hidden society lined to the brim with magic and it revealed the final part of the cave prophecy, where Timmy would have to find a third and final wand, hidden within the Earth's ice. Turbo Thunder reveals he was the original chosen one, picked by the Fairy Council (through auditions), but as stated before he was late and Timmy had to fill in, he apologizes and admits that Timmy is the new chosen one. He also tells them he tried out to become the chosen one to take revenge on the Darkness because it destroyed his home world Wonder World, where it inhabitants had superpowers, and took his family from him. Turbo Thunder tries to train Timmy, but Timmy is unable to keep up with his super powered teacher. Thus, Turbo Thunder transfers his powers to Timmy, who dubs himself "Turbo Timmy", knowing he was the only hope of stopping the Destructinator and the Darkness. The group returns to Fairy World and frees the fairies by giving them wands from the hidden ruins below the moon and fight back the remaining Eliminators, winning. Timmy then returns to Earth to face the Destructinator as the Darkness catches word that Timmy returned.
Timmy battles the Destructinator through space and finally leads him back to Earth where they crash land in the Arctic. The Destructinator planned to stuff the Earth full of bombs and missiles so that when the Darkness sucked it up, it would unleash a giant explosion, killing both it and Timmy. However, Timmy managed to snatch the self destruction device from Destructinator and uses the robot's thirst for power to trick him into absorbing all the bombs he planted inside the planet. He then detonates the bombs, destroying the Destructinator once and for all. The massive explosion also melts the ice and reveals the third and final wand (although the guardian, a talking polar bear, made it appear after Timmy blew up most of the ice). Now, with Jorgen, his fairies, Turbo Thunder, Juandissimo and Cupid standing at his side, Timmy must now fulfill the prophecy and defeat the Darkness. But just then, he realizes something. When the Darkness appeared before Turbo Thunder's world and Fairy World, it was first attacked by the inhabitants of the world before it attacked them. All the Darkness ever wanted was a friend, but, looking as terrifying as it did, everyone always thought it was evil. With the powers of the Fire Wand (the guitar), the Wind Wand (the wand on the Blue Moon) and the Ice Wand (found buried under the North Pole's icy layer), he uses his fairies magic to poof up more ice wands on every other planet in the solar system, creating a giant smiling face of light when he activated the wand's powers and unleashed a powerful beam of light into the Darkness. After that, the Darkness has now become the Kindness (While Cosmo Calls It The Yellowness) and returns all of Timmy's captured friends and family. Then Timmy tries to kiss Trixie again, but his dad popped in front of him and he says "ooo, nice man-smooch!" then the darkness returns Mark's and Turbo Thunder's parents. They celebrate with another KISS concert in Fairy World when KISS and the ancient fairy counselors surprisingly appear after Timmy defeated the Darkness. During the concert, Timmy and Trixie attempt to kiss, but Jorgen interrupts them and tells Timmy that he's erasing everyone's memories after the concert. Timmy figured that would happen, but was relieved he wouldn't have to find anymore wands. But in the Cave of Destiny, as the prophecy showed Timmy with all three wands, a red fourth wand appeared. But, it's revealed that Cosmo drew it with a red crayon before saying "Just kidding!" and ending up crushed by a rock after getting brain freeze from an ice cream sandwich, ending the Wishology trilogy story. Note: Poof's new power is his cute smile that is "the most powerful smile ever".

Trivia
This article contains a list of miscellaneous information. (May 2009) |
This section possibly contains original research. (May 2009) |
- At the end of Part 1, every star in the sky disappeared once again as a sign the Darkness would soon return. But, in Part 2, after Timmy declared he didn't know where the Blue Moon was, there was a zoom-out of the galaxy, and all the stars were in there.
- In Part 1, Timmy picks up the magic muffin from the first movie Abra-Catastrophe and puts it down saying "No, Not that one".
- Timmy, Wanda, Cosmo, and Turbo Thunder knew that the Eliminator was called the Destructinator but they weren't there to hear him say that.
- Kiss performs the song Rock and Roll All Nite, the first time that a real world song has been heard in a Fairly OddParents project.
Movie Parodies
- Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer- The Darkness is based on the villain Galactus, entity which feeds on life-bearing planets.
- Star Wars- The whole end of the 2nd part with Crocker as Chewbacca, Dark Laser as Darth Vader, Vicky as Princess Leia, Mark as R2-D2, And Timmy as Luke Skywalker. Dark Laser makes a reference to use the force, but instead says use the forks. Vicky begins to say "May the forks be with you", before she is frozen. Also, a Star Wars related opening begins Part 3 when Cosmo narrates what happened in Part 2 (though ending it very shortly since that was all he had) Also in Part 3, Timmy uses the fake Cosmo and Wanda as lightsabers. Then also in Part 3 when Timmy is talking to Turbo Thunder, Turbo Thunder says "Timmy, I am-" and then Timmy says "Whoa, you're not going to cut off my arm and tell me you're my father are you?" (possibly remembering how Cosmo did it in Abracatastrophe). Also, Timmy is referred to as "The Chosen One", just like Anakin Skywalker was. Also at one point during this sequence Timmy yells "It's a trap!". A very popular quote from the Star Wars series from the character Admiral Ackbar
- Lord of the Rings - the second part Timmy's trilogy dream wish.
- Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone- His third trilogy wish.
- The Matrix- The first part of Timmy's trilogy dream wish. Crocker appears as a parody of Agent Smith, and in Part 2, AJ is dressed similarly to Morpheus.
- Batman When Timmy goes to the "Timmy-Cave" and gets onto the "Turner-Cycle"
- Terminator Salvation- Timmy is dressed up as John Connor for a brief part.
- Men in Black- The M.E.R.F. agents.
- Back to the Future- The chase scene between Timmy, Jorgen and the Eliminator,when Jorgans pink motorcycle lays down a trail of fire and teleports. The scene of Timmy sneaking on stage to get the white wand guitar
- Cast Away- Turbo Thunder's story of how he survived on the blue moon, with Rocky taking the place of Wilson.
- Superman- Turbo Thunder's Origin story.
- Godzilla- Cosmo transforming into a giant dragon called Coszilla.
- History of the World: Part 1- Timmy says "It’s good to be the chosen one" Similar to what Mel Brooks character says during History of the world: Part 1 "It’s good to be king"
- The Shining- When Lord Moldywart (Vicky) says, "Here's Moldy", referencing Jack Nicholson's iconic "Here's Johnny".
- Doctor Who-the stars go out in the episode turn left.
- The Elite Squad-the third part, while the Thunder Timmy Turbo trains to fight the Dark, Timmy falls from a giant cliff and smashes on the floor. Bruised, Timmy says "I give the Lord", but the Thunder Turbo does not.
- Twitches-the third part,were timmy decides to give up so Turbo Thunder and Timmy hold hands then something magical happens
Continuity
- During Part 1, as Timmy claims that he's had weirder mornings, he picks up a Magic Fairy-versarry Muffin (the main center point to the whole chaos in the first Fairly Odd Parents movie Abracatastrope) before setting it back down, saying "No, not that one."
- This is the second Fairly Odd Parents movie that has Cosmo and Wanda's secret being exposed to Timmy's parents while this is the first time Timmy's friends meet them (Chester met them before in Fairy Idol but this is a retcon since Chester used his last wish from Norm's lamp to revert everything back to it was before he ever met Norm.) This is also the third time Crocker has seen Jorgen (The Jimmy/Timmy Power Hour and Abracatastrophe, both end with him losing his memories of Jorgen due to either magic or a severe injury), the fourth time he has seen Cosmo and Wanda (but in the episode "Pipe Down" he could not say anything due to Timmy's wish of no sound, also when he was fused together with cheese and captured them) but this is the second time he's seen Poof (the first was Cheese and Crockers). This is also the first time Trixie has ever met Timmy's fairies.
- During Part 3, in the scene where the fairies look for the Ice Wand, Wanda looks for it in a van being driven by Vanilla Ice who was one of Cosmo and Wanda's former godkids (as seen in "Hassle in the Castle" and "Escape From Unwish Island".)
- The Destructinator is the first person (rather non-human being) in Fairly Odd Parents history to be able to wish for devices without the need for a magical fairy or being of any kind (Chester and Timmy once made wishes from Norm the Genie) since he swallowed up Jorgen's wand in Part 3 and gained his own from it, though it was a pitch black star instead of yellow.
- This is the first time Timmy has made a wish for Trixie, after she non-casually was asking for a unicorn. Strangely, this is the only time he made wishes when his family and friends were nearby, likely because they knew he had fairies.
- This is the first time Dark Laser, A.J. and Mark played important roles in a Fairly Odd Parents special while this is where some of Timmy's other friends and enemies had important roles again, like Timmy's parents ("Abracatastrophe" and "Channel Chasers"), Crocker ("Abracatastrophe"), Chester ("Fairy Idol"), Trixie ("Information Stupor Highway") and Vicky ("Channel Chasers"). One can wonder if the Jimmy/Timmy Power Hour trilogy can also be counted for Chester and A.J. had larger roles in the third special, and they both saw Cosmo and Wanda too (though Jorgen probably erased their memory of fairies including the minds of Jimmy Neutron and friends, though Nicktoons Unite! game series might have proved otherwise. Jimmy and friends met Timmy through a wish so its possible they're excluded because of it or because Timmy managed to trick Jimmy into believing they were "fairy computer programs" to him.)
- When comparing the enemies Timmy has encountered throughout his life, the Destructinator might be the most evil enemy Timmy faced and the closest to actually try to kill him.
- In Part 3, Jorgen calls the Destructinator "The Jerkinator", a reference to the final subtitle of the Jimmy/Timmy Power Hour trilogy.
- While this isn't the first time Trixie and Timmy might have kissed (except it is on the lips), this is the first time Trixie and Timmy kiss without any magical influence before or after (save for her debut episode, "A Wish Too Far"), coming from their feelings for each other (Trixie's feelings for Timmy are proven when they meet again on the blue moon and she tells Timmy that she admires Timmy's "brave and magical" side of him and she also cried after Timmy was sucked up by the Darkness).
- This is probably the first special where Jorgen has shown his softer and more friendly personality towards Timmy the longest, which lasts throughout the entire trilogy, whereas Jorgen usually is more sarcastic and annoyed by Timmy.
- This is the second time that the fairy talk show star, Billy Crystal Ball (first seen in "This Is Your Wish") appears. However, his eyes and hair are a different color but fans can recognize him as the same Billy Crystal Ball because of his voice. He only appeared in Part 2 when Wanda magically poofed him to his new set, the Billy Crystal Ball show set, after attending the statue unveiling at Fairy World City Hall.
- This special is the second time Juandissimo and Cupid appear together. They first appeared in the Fairy Olympics special. Also, Cupid is the only holiday representative, Valentine's Day, to appear in a Fairly Odd Parents special after his appearance and the first Fairly Odd Christmas special.
- The MERF agents, all voiced by Patrick Warburton, are the second characters to be voiced by the same person. The first was the Pixies, who are all voiced by Ben Stein.
References
- At Abracatraz, a reference to Alcatraz, the sign in front says "Abandon all hope, all ye who enter here." An obvious reference to Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, more specifically the Inferno.
