"Wishology!"

Wishology is a trilogy television film, the ninth movie, and the 95th-100th episodes of the animated television series The Fairly OddParents. "The Big Beginning" (part 1) first aired on Nickelodeon in the United States on May 1, 2009, "The Exciting Middle Part" (part 2) on May 2, 2009, and "The Final Ending" (part 3) on May 3, 2009. The film centers on 10-year-old Timmy Turner with his fairy godparents Cosmo and Wanda and his fairy godbrother Poof. Robots known as the Eliminators appear in Timmy's hometown Dimmsdale, searching to destroy the "chosen one", Timmy himself. Because of this, Jorgen von Strangle takes him to the Cave of Destiny in Fairy World, where he explains a legend inscribed in the rock about the ancient fairy warriors who fought the Eliminators and their master, a giant black hole called the Darkness. According to the prophecy, Timmy must retrieve three special wands in order to defeat the Darkness and save everyone.

Critical responses were mixed; critical reviewers displayed mixed reactions to how three-dimensional objects interact via computer animation with the series' usual two-dimensional artwork. According to Nielsen ratings, parts 1 and 3 of Wishology was viewed by approximately 4 million viewers while part 2 was viewed by 3.6 million. In addition to its cultural references to various media, the television film contains parodies of science fiction and fantasy film franchises, such as The Matrix, The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, The Terminator, and Star Wars. The television film also features guest performances of two members, Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley, from the rock band Kiss, who serve as protectors of the white wand, the first of the three wands Timmy must possess. Other notable guest stars are Patrick Warburton voicing the agents of the Military Extraterrestrial Research Facility (M.E.R.F.), and Brendan Fraser voicing a warrior, Turbo Thunder, who believes he is the true chosen one and not Timmy.

Plot

"The Big Beginning"

Timmy wishes for his own movie trilogy but is interrupted in the middle of his wish by Jorgen, who poofs his fairy godparents away and warns him not to speak his own name before sending him back home. Mr. and Mrs. Turner have no recollection of having a son, and Chester, A.J., and Mr. Crocker all refer to him as the "new kid" at school. Timmy shows his completed homework assignment on the Big Dipper, which everyone refuses to acknowledge exists. He grows frustrated and questions what is wrong with everyone, until an Eliminator breaks into the classroom and blasts lasers at him. Timmy runs away on A.J.'s hovering scooter, with the Eliminator transforming into a flying attack vehicle and chasing him, and tries to find his godparents, only to be grabbed into an alley by Jorgen, who explains the Eliminator can find him every time his name is uttered. The Eliminator appears again, and it projects a black hole through its mouth to inhale Timmy in. Jorgen and Timmy escape on Jorgen's fairy motorcycle to Fairy World.

Meanwhile, Jorgen poofs all the fairies as gumballs inside a dispenser machine in a truck stop bar at Barstow. A kid dispenses a quarter to chew on Binky, much to the fairies' horror. As he is about to put Wanda into his vortex mouth, Cosmo jumps in and takes her place. He is blown up into a bubble and grabs Wanda and Poof along as he floats away. The rest of the fairies use Cosmo's method as their escape plan.

At the Cave of Destiny, Jorgen explains the cave prophecy, where in ancient times fairy warriors fought and eliminated the Darkness with light. The stars in space represent fairy warriors watching out if the Darkness ever returns, until last night when the Big Dipper brigade had disappeared, which connects to why everyone back at school said it does not exist, because Jorgen erased everyone's memory of it, along with of Timmy so his name and location would not be revealed. The ancient fairies also hid a powerful white wand, which is to be found and possessed by the chosen one, Timmy Turner. The Eliminators break into the cave, prompting the two to leave, only to crash into a warehouse shortly. Jorgen disguises himself as Timmy and sacrifices himself to the Eliminators in order to buy Timmy more time. Now alone, Timmy witnesses stars in space disappearing and the Darkness approaching, so he uses the Tooth Fairy's quarter transporter to send himself back to Earth. He tracks his godparents down before he becomes detained and questioned by the Military Extraterrestrial Research Facility (M.E.R.F.) agents, who claim he is an alien. Timmy manages to escape them by stealing their car to drive to Las Vegas. He bumps into his godparents along the way, along with the M.E.R.F. agents and the Eliminators, which he uses M.E.R.F.'s freeze ray on both groups, though the latter break free and resume chasing him.

At the Middle-Aged Rock Festival (M.A.R.F.) in Las Vegas featuring the band Kiss, Timmy tries to retrieve one of Kiss' electric guitars, the white wand, from the upper stage, but ends up falling down. The Kiss members reveal they are the galactic protectors of the white wand, asking Timmy to prove he is the chosen one in order to wield it. When the Darkness and the Eliminators arrive, he and the band fight them off. The fairies arrive to assist in defeating the Eliminators, while Timmy defeats the Darkness by performing a successful rock solo with the white wand. With the Darkness defeated, and Jorgen and the Fairy World returned, the concert continues in Fairy World, where Turbo Thunder, a warrior who claims to be the true chosen one, shows up, interrupting the event. Everything goes back to normal, until the stars disappear once more.

"The Exciting Middle Part"

Timmy enjoys celebrity lifestyle as the chosen one in Fairy World, though Wanda interrupts and poofs the group back home. Meanwhile, the Eliminators and the Darkness invade the planet of Yugopotamia and steal the "fake-i-fiers", belts allowing users to transform into anyone else. Unable to save themselves, King Grippulon and Queen Jipjorrulac send their son Mark Chang to Earth before being devoured into the Eliminators' vortex mouths. When he notifies Timmy of his planet's disaster, Mark reveals to be an Eliminator as he opens his vortex mouth to devour him. Fortunately, he is crushed by a space pod—containing the real Mark—plunging into Earth, at which point Timmy realizes the Darkness is back. The group returns to the Cave of Destiny in Fairy World, where Timmy discovers there is a second part of the cave prophecy: He must find a second wand, which is located at the Blue Moon in the Vegon system.

After the fairies are captured by the Eliminators, disguised as the cave's stalagmites, Timmy and Mark manage to escape through a hidden portal, which teleports them back to Timmy's bedroom. Timmy encounters his parents downstairs, Trixie outside the house, and his friends Chester and A.J. in the sewers, all of whom turn out to be Eliminators in disguise, and Mark saves Timmy from all of them. After Timmy throws various objects into their darkness portal, the Eliminators explode, but regenerate after he and Mark leaves. With no transportation to the Blue Moon and no help from Timmy's companions because they were kidnapped, Timmy seeks help from his enemies: Mr. Crocker, Dark Laser, and Vicky. After everyone embarks in Dark Laser's death pod and depart into space, they make their rest stop in a cantina at a planet called Frigidarium, where the aliens turn out to be Eliminators. While all the others in the group are sent to the Albacatraz Prison back in Fairy World, Turbo Thunder flies Timmy and Mark to another planet, Thunder World, so they would help him locate the second wand. Timmy tells him the information, and Turbo Thunder ditches the two as he flies his spaceship to the Blue Moon, though the two hide in the spaceship and arrive at the Blue Moon as well. Turbo Thunder does not pass the rock guardian's test of the "true chosen one", while Timmy does and is granted the wand, which the Lead Eliminator steals.

Meanwhile, at the Albacatraz Prison, the Eliminators incarcerate all the fairies. They also put Mr. and Mrs. Turner, Trixie, Chester, and A.J. in the same cell with Cosmo, Wanda, Poof, and Jorgen. Cosmo and Wanda reveal to them they are Timmy's fairy godparents who grant his wishes. Timmy's family and friends become infuriated at Timmy for his selfishness, for not making wishes helping out others, but Wanda tells them he is risking his life to save everyone. Eventually, Poof successfully escapes from the cell and uses kung fu to take down the Eliminators running the facility. After Poof chomps the vault open to retrieve the wands, Jorgen poofs everyone to the Blue Moon.

Timmy's friends, family, and the fairies unleash a combined magical attack that defeats the Eliminators and have a reunion with Timmy, which is cut short when the Darkness tries to inhale everyone. Timmy tries to use the second wand, but it produces no effect. As soon as he realizes the Darkness only wants him, Timmy climbs the human rope everyone else made and kisses Trixie before he is pulled into the Darkness. Everyone grieves over Timmy's sacrifice, and Jorgen decides they must save him.

"The Final Ending"

Timmy wakes up inside his bedroom again and is informed he has defeated the Darkness by his godparents. When he wishes for the best day ever, the Eliminators show up again, this time they are Timmy's godparents and Jorgen in disguise, who inform Timmy that he is actually still inside the Darkness, that this world was an illusion serving as a distraction. They all exit the Darkness and safely arrive back at Earth, and the Lead Eliminator follows to destroy him. After reunion with his family and friends back at Dimmsdale, the Lead Eliminator shows up again, and uses his magic weapons—acquired by absorbing Jorgen's wand—to poof Timmy's friends and family away into the Darkness. The M.E.R.F. launches an array of bombs and missiles at the Eliminator, only to all be absorbed by him, transforming him into a more powerful version of himself, the Destructinator. With his upgraded abilities, the Destructinator solidifies the entire Earth in a steel casing, which also transforms the M.E.R.F. agents into his robotic henchmen.

Using M.E.R.F.'s escape pod, Timmy and his fairies return to the Blue Moon to retrieve the second wand. They also to run into a weakened Turbo Thunder, who reveals the true purpose of the second wand is simply to light the way. He places Timmy on a pedastol, which turns the night sky to daytime and powers up the wand, opening a secret cave underneath the surface. The cave is filled with magical wands and contains the final part of the cave prophecy, which is to find the ice wand hidden beneath the Earth's ice. The group goes back to Fairy World, where Timmy dumps several wands so the incarcerated fairies can free themselves and attack the Eliminators running the facility. Timmy also uses his thunder pits—received from Turbo Thunder during their training—to light the white wand, held by a Timmy statue, in order to return Fairy World to its normal state. After everyone departs, an Eliminator notifies the Darkness that Timmy is heading to Earth.

Back on Earth, the Destructinator's henchmen plant 20 million gigatons of explosives that, upon activation of his detonator remote, will blow up the planet and destroy the Darkness. Timmy, Turbo Thunder, and the fairies arrive, and the fairies all use their magic at once to remove the Earth's metal casing. Timmy goes back into space with the Destructinator following him. The Destructinator absorbs Timmy's thunder pits attack and fires back at him, sending him down to the Earth's north polar region. When the Destructinator reassures he has all the powers in the universe, Timmy retorts by reminding him he is missing the explosives stuffed inside the planet. The Destructinator inhales them, which increases his size. However, Timmy reveals the detonator remote he grabbed from him back at space, and presses its button, finally obliterating the Destructinator.

With the Darkness still left for Timmy to defeat, a talking polar bear—the guardian of the ice wand—rises the ice wand from beneath the ocean. Following Timmy's plan, the fairies create a celestial smile which is formed by the ice wands added to each planet and the Fairy World's white wand. The celestial smile projects its light into the Darkness, turning it into a bright yellow smiling sun, the Kindness. The group returns to Dimmsdale and notices the Darkness' transformation. Wanda figures out Timmy is the only one who blasts anything nice into the Darkness, and Timmy concludes it was only looking for a friend. An Eliminator crashes in front of them and presents his change in heart, giving Timmy a hug and spewing back out everyone who had been sucked into the vortex mouths. Everyone parties in Fairy World, celebrating the chosen one's accomplishment.

Production

Series creator and executive producer Butch Hartman wrote Wishology, along with head writer Scott Fellows and Kevin Sullivan, who had joined the series since its fifth season.[1] Gary Conrad, who has been directing several episodes of the series since its second season, served as the director for Wishology.[2] Music composer Guy Moon, who has worked on the music for The Fairly OddParents since its inception, along with two other animated television series—Danny Phantom and T.U.F.F. Puppy—also created and produced by Butch Hartman, composed the music for the trilogy.[3] According to Toon Zone's interview with Butch Hartman, the production of the three-part film was completed in 18 months.[4]

The rock band Kiss made a guest appearance in Wishology.

Kiss made a guest appearance, playing an important role as the galactic guardians of the white wand in "The Big Beginning" and making a cameo appearance in "The Final Ending". However, only two of the band's four members Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley provided voice roles of their Kiss personas "The Demon" and "The Starchild", respectively.[5][6][7] Butch Hartman and Scott Fellows pitched in the idea of having a rock band in the storyline guard the white wand that Timmy seeks and the wand take the form of the band's star-shaped guitar. Both Hartman and Fellows originally did not have an idea of featuring Kiss in Wishology. Rather, they initially planned to create the rock band "Smooch", featuring its members with heart-shaped make-up on their faces, alluding to the original Kiss band. Nevertheless, they asked and received permission from Gene Simmons to feature the Kiss band, drawn as animated two-dimensional figures to blend in with the series' customary appearance. Hartman and Fellows were also able to feature one of their songs "Rock and Roll All Nite" during a concert party at Fairy World towards the end of "The Big Beginning".[8]

In addition to the regular cast and Kiss, guest actor Gary Sturgis guest starred as the Lead Eliminator. Actors Patrick Warburton and Brendan Fraser guest starred as the M.E.R.F. agents and Turbo Thunder respectively.[5][7] Recurring guest voice actors Jim Ward and Kevin Michael Richardson reprised their roles as Chet Ubetcha and Dark Laser, respectively.[9][10]

Initial plans were to broadcast Wishology on Nickelodeon for three consecutive Fridays starting on May 1, 2009.[11][12][13] At last-minute notice, however, as of April 27, 2009 Nickelodeon decided to consolidate the premieres into one weekend. Following the plan change, Wishology aired every night from from 8:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., from Friday to Sunday, May 1–3, 2009. "The Big Beginning" premiered on May 1, "The Exciting Middle Part" on May 2, and "The Final Ending" on May 3.[7][14][15][16][17]

Cultural references

During the three parts of Timmy's trilogy wish at the beginning, Wishology bases its references from three science fiction films: The Matrix, The Lord of the Rings, and Harry Potter.[18][13][5] In Timmy's first trilogy wish, Timmy—under his alias Teo—is dressed as Neo from The Matrix,[5][7] while his school teacher Mr. Crocker is dressed as Neo's antagonist Agent Smith.[19] Timmy also dodges Mr. Crocker's lasers in a style similar to that done in the original film.[19] In his second trilogy wish, the group arrives at Middle-earth. Timmy is dressed as Frodo, Wanda and Poof are dressed as Hobbits, and Cosmo takes the appearance of Gollum.[20] In the third, Harry Potter-themed trilogy wish, where everyone is in Quidditch match, Timmy is dressed as the film's main character Harry Potter and Poof takes the form of a quidditch snitch.[21] Timmy's evil baby-sitter Vicky is "Moldywart", a reference to the antagonist of the Harry Potter film series Lord Voldemort.

George Lucas' film series Star Wars is prominently referenced in "The Exciting Middle Part".

Throughout Timmy's travel in space with Mark and Timmy's enemies in "The Exciting Middle Part" and during the beginning of "The Final Ending", Wishology focuses its media references to George Lucas' film series Star Wars.[7] On their way to Planet Frigidarium in "The Exciting Middle Part", the group dresses up as the main characters of Star Wars: Timmy as Luke Skywalker, Mark as R2-D2, Crocker as Chewbacca, and Vicky as Princess Leia.[22] Inside the cantina, Crocker clears his throat in a way that sounds like Chewbacca's voice.[22] All the aliens inside resemble the Star Wars cast.[22] The opening sequence of "The Final Ending" features text recapping the ending of the previous part of the Wishology story in the style of the Star Wars opening crawl.[23]

The television film contains a number of other cultural references. In "The Big Beginning", when he grabs a muffin before he leaves his house, Timmy accidentally chooses but then rejects the Fairy-versary muffin, the magic muffin used in the first The Fairly OddParents television film Abra-Catastrophe!.[24] During Jorgen's and Timmy's journey throughout Fairy World to find the Cave of Destiny, Jorgen swings through the trees in a manner similar to Tarzan does.[25] The Lead Eliminator's attire of a black coat and sunglasses is similar to those worn by The Terminator.[5] The weapons M.E.R.F. agents use in order to fight Timmy are similar to those used by the Men in Black.[26] When trying to figure out the chosen one riddle in order to find the white wand, Timmy becomes chased down by the police for being accused of being a quarter thief and smashing a statue at the Dimmsdale museum. To avoid being caught, he uses a Mona Lisa painting to disguise his face, and one of the cops make note of his "Renaissance smile".[27] Towards the end of Timmy's rock solo performance at the M.A.R.F., Gene Simmons notes Timmy's long tongue when Timmy licks the guitar, a tribute to Simmons' own long tongue.[8]

At the beginning of "The Exciting Middle Part", Timmy is in Fairy World in front of fairy game geeks. He plays The Chosen One Video Game using a white wand guitar controller imitating the actual white wand, like a Guitar Hero controller imitating a real guitar instrument.[28] When Mark's space pod plunges into the Earth and destroys an Eliminator disguised as Mark, the Eliminator's feet curl up in a way similar to the Wicked Witch does.[29] Mark finds a working fake-i-fier used by the Eliminator and uses it to try three disguises, one of them being American singer and actress Tina Turner.[29] At the site of the Abracatraz Prison, where the kidnapped fairies are being held hostage, its front gate contains an inscription that reads "Abandon all hope, ye who here enter",[30] which when translated into Latin reads "Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate", the phrase used at the entrance gate to Hell in the Inferno chapter of Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy. In order to get Dark Laser to come to Earth so Timmy, along with Mr. Crocker and Vicky, can board on his death pod and blast off into space, Timmy posts a video making fun of him onto a website called "TooYube",[31] whose name and logo are similar to those of YouTube. Right before Frigidarium is about to be imminently sucked by the Darkness, Turbo Thunder flies Timmy and Mark to another planet, Thunder World. The planet features a "thunder wonderland", an amusement park with the Las Vegas Strip theme, evidenced by hotels and palm trees.[32]

In "The Final Ending", Cosmo is fed up with the Lead Eliminator constantly attacking his family and godchild, so he transforms into a giant creature named "Cos-zilla", a reference to the Japanese movie monster Godzilla.[33] During Timmy's and his fairies' revisit the Blue Moon, they run into Turbo Thunder, who tells them how alone in the universe he was after the rock guardian threw him over the planet's horizon. Since then, he made a personified friend, a rock with a happy face, similar to Chuck Noland's companion Wilson the volleyball in the 2000 drama film Cast Away.[34] In his flashback, Turbo Thunder receives an invitation flyer to the "Chosen One Competition" in Fairy World. On the flyer, the phrase "Chosen One" is printed in American Idol font.[35] At the competition venue, the four fairy elders sit as judges behind a table in front of the auditioners like the American Idol judges do so.[35]

Reception

According to Nielsen ratings, Wishology received 4.012 million viewers for its opening night, "The Big Beginning", earned about 3.6 million viewers for "The Exciting Middle Part", and garnered 4.071 million viewers for its closing night, "The Final Ending".[36][37] "The Final Ending" and "The Big Beginning" ranked twelfth and thirteenth overall, respectively, on the list of top twenty television shows on the cable network for the week ending on May 3, 2009.[36] The Fairly OddParents became the highest-rated cable network series on Friday night of that week for "The Big Beginning", the only episode aired on that night to appear on the top 20 list.[36] However, "The Exciting Middle Part" did not attain as much viewers, not even ranking anywhere on the top 20 list; it was topped by the teen sitcom and drama series Jonas, which premiered simultaneously on the Disney Channel and attained 3.965 million viewers.[36][37][38] "The Final Ending" ranked in third place for Sunday night, being edged out by two other Disney Channel shows—Sonny with a Chance and Hannah Montana, which aired simultaneously at 8:00 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., respectively—in terms of viewership.[36]

Wishology received mixed reception from critics. Eileen Cruz of Toon Zone mainly praised the television film, stating it "manages to remain largely fresh the entire time" for an animated comedy episode over two hours long,[18] while Aaron Bynum of The Animation Insider gave a mixed to negative review to it, calling it only "moderately entertaining" when it is "just another over-exerted animated epic of an over-extended property."[39] Cruz commented positively on the show's usage of both standard and computer animation; however, she also noted the blending between special 3D objects and its surroundings was "not perfect", though "not distracting either".[18] Bynum stated the animated film's usage of computer animation was "rather needless" and its cultural parodies were "tired and forgettable".[39] While he finds "The Final Ending" interesting enough to keep the viewer engaged, he also criticized the series as a whole for Wishology, saying "it would appear that the cartoon is no longer an exclusive journey into one child's ever-changing imagination; now, it's just a fanciful what-if".[39] Cruz praised the role of the band Kiss in the episode, calling it "fitting", saying she cannot think of too many other bands that "could exist in such a universe with such an exaggerated reality".[18] However, she also criticized the role of Turbo Thunder in the episode. Specifically, she sees problems with the character's voice, saying it was "entirely unattractive" and "off-putting," and "it simply didn't work for me."[18] Bynum, however, gave a more positive reaction to the character. He noted Turbo Thunder was "hilariously pretentious and self-serving", saying he "ultimately makes the second chapter ["The Exciting Middle Part"] a whole lot better by acting as a frenemy with similar goals."[39]

On February 6, 2010 at UCLA's Royce Hall, music composer Guy Moon became the recipient of an Annie Award for his music in "The Big Beginning" in the "Individual Achievement Category" of "Music in a Television Production" during the 37th Annual Annie Awards.[3][40]
