"Wishology!"

Wishology is a trilogy television film and the ninth movie special 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 trilogy is written by Kevin Sullivan, Scott Fellows, and Butch Hartman, and was directed by Gary Conrad. 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. 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 in the film.

The film centers on the show's main character 10-year-old Timmy Turner (voiced by Tara Strong) with his fairy godparents Cosmo and Wanda (voiced by Daran Norris and Susanne Blakeslee respectively) and his baby fairy godbrother Poof (also voiced by Tara Strong) who was introduced into the series during the previous special Fairly OddBaby. Robots known as the Eliminators appear in Timmy's hometown Dimmsdale to destroy the "chosen one", Timmy himself. Jorgen von Strangle—a non-floating fairy general who uses an oversized wand—takes him to the Cave of Destiny, a cave that contains prophecies for the "chosen one". The cave is located in Fairy World, a place filled with fairies that sits on a cloud in space and is connected to Earth by a rainbow bridge. Jorgen explains a legend inscribed on the cave wall about the ancient fairy warriors who fought the Eliminators and their master, a giant black hole called The Darkness. To defeat The Darkness and the Eliminators, Timmy must retrieve and use three special wands: the white wand at the Middle-Aged Rock Festival (M.A.R.F.) in Las Vegas, Nevada, the second wand at the Blue Moon in space, and the ice wand in the Earth's north polar region.

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. The rock band Kiss made a guest appearance. Patrick Warburton provides his voice for the agents of the Military Extraterrestrial Research Facility (M.E.R.F.), and Brendan Fraser voices Turbo Thunder, a warrior who believes he is the true chosen one and not Timmy. In addition to its cultural references to various media, the television film contains parodies of science fiction and fantasy film franchises, particularly The Matrix, The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, The Terminator, and Star Wars.

Plot

"The Big Beginning"

Timmy wishes for his own movie trilogy but is interrupted by Jorgen, who poofs his fairy godparents away and sends him back home. No one has any memory of him, but an Eliminator appears after he exclaims his own name. In an alley, it projects a space vortex through its mouth to inhale Timmy in. Jorgen saves him and the two arrive at Fairy World.

Meanwhile, the fairies are hidden as gumballs in a truck stop bar by Jorgen. After blown into a bubble from a kid's mouth, Cosmo takes 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, represented by stars in space, fought and eliminated The Darkness with light. The ancient fairies also hid a powerful white wand, which is to be found and possessed by the chosen one, Timmy Turner. As stars in space disappear and The Darkness approaches, Timmy arrives back on Earth and tracks his godparents down in Las Vegas.

The M.A.R.F. in Las Vegas features the rock band Kiss, whom reveal to Timmy they are the galactic protectors of the white wand, their star-shaped guitar. The Darkness and the Eliminators arrive at the venue, and the fairies arrive to defeat the Eliminators while Timmy defeats The Darkness with a rock solo performance on the white wand.

"The Exciting Middle Part"

Eliminators and The Darkness invade Yugopotamia—a planet home to squid-like aliens called Yugopotamians—and steal "fake-i-fiers", belts that allow users to transform into anyone else. King Grippulon and Queen Jipjorrulac send their son Mark Chang to Earth before they become devoured. Mark notifies Timmy of this, and the group goes to the Cave of Destiny in Fairy World and discovers the second part of the cave prophecy to find a second wand located at the Blue Moon.

Timmy and Mark teleport back to Dimmsdale, where Timmy's friends and parents are now Eliminators in disguise. Timmy, with his enemies Mr. Crocker, Dark Laser, and Vicky, board Dark Laser's death pod and depart into space. During their rest stop at planet Frigidarium, the aliens inside the cantina are Eliminators, whom send Timmy's enemies to the Abracatraz Prison in Fairy World. Via Turbo Thunder's spaceship, Timmy and Mark manage to arrive at the Blue Moon, where the rock guardian grants Timmy the second wand.

Meanwhile, the Eliminators incarcerate the fairies at the Abracatraz Prison and put Timmy's friends and family in the same cell with Timmy's godparents and Jorgen. Eventually, after Poof frees the group and locates the wands, Jorgen poofs everyone to the Blue Moon.

Timmy's friends, enemies, family, and the fairies defeat the Eliminators with a combined magical attack and have a reunion with Timmy, which is interrupted when The Darkness tries to inhale him. The second wand produces no effect, and Timmy realizes he has no other choice, so he sacrifices himself into The Darkness.

"The Final Ending"

Timmy wakes up inside his bedroom again, but in reality he is still inside The Darkness and the world is merely an illusion. He exits The Darkness safely with his fairy godparents and Jorgen. Back on Earth, the Lead Eliminator uses Jorgen's wand to poof Timmy's friends and family away. The M.E.R.F. launches an array of military weapons at the Eliminator, only to be absorbed by him and transform him into a more powerful version of himself, the Destructinator, whom solidifies the entire Earth in a steel casing.

Timmy and his fairies return to the Blue Moon via M.E.R.F.'s escape pod to retrieve the second wand. A weakened Turbo Thunder there reveals the second wand only opens a secret cave underneath, which contains magical wands and the final part of the cave prophecy: to find the ice wand. The group returns to Fairy World with the wands to free the imprisoned fairies before everyone heads back to Earth.

The Destructinator's henchmen plant explosives inside Earth that, upon activation of a detonator remote, will blow it up. The fairies arrive and use their magic at once to remove the Earth's metal casing. At the Earth's north polar region, Timmy tricks the Destructinator to inhale the explosives. He reveals the detonator remote he stole from him back in space and uses it to obliterate him.

A polar bear—the guardian of the ice wand—rises the ice wand from beneath the ocean. The fairies add an ice wand to each planet, which, along with the white wand at Fairy World, creates a celestial smile that projects its light into The Darkness. The smile transforms it into a bright sun, The Kindness, to which Timmy concludes it was only looking for a friend. The group returns to Dimmsdale, where an Eliminator crashes in front of them and spews out everyone who had been sucked in. Everyone parties in Fairy World and celebrates 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 joined the series beginning its fifth season.[1] Gary Conrad, who has directed several episodes of the series since its second season, served as the director for Wishology.[2] Composer Guy Moon, who has worked on the music for The Fairly OddParents since its inception, composed the music for the trilogy.[3] According to Toon Zone's interview with Hartman, the production of the three-part film was completed in 18 months.[4]

The rock band Kiss made a guest appearance in the trilogy. The band plays an important role as the galactic guardians of the white wand in "The Big Beginning" and makes 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][8] Hartman and Fellows pitched in the idea of a rock band in the storyline, where the band guards the white wand that Timmy seeks. Both Hartman and Fellows originally did not think they would feature Kiss in Wishology. Rather, they initially planned to create the rock band "Smooch", with its members with heart-shaped make-up on their faces, an allusion 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 Kiss' songs "Rock and Roll All Nite" during a concert party at Fairy World towards the end of "The Big Beginning".[9]

In addition to the regular cast and Kiss, 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][10] Recurring guest voice actors Jim Ward and Kevin Michael Richardson reprised their roles as Dimmsdale news reporter Chet Ubetcha and space villain Dark Laser, respectively.[11][12]

Initial plans were to broadcast Wishology on Nickelodeon for three consecutive Fridays starting on May 1, 2009.[13][14][15] At last-minute notice, however, as of April 27, 2009 Nickelodeon decided to consolidate the premieres into one weekend. In accordance with the plan change, Wishology aired every night 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][16][17][18][19]

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.[5][10][15][20] 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.[21] Timmy also dodges Mr. Crocker's lasers in a style similar to that done in the original film.[21] 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.[22] 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.[23] 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.[24] Inside the cantina, Crocker clears his throat in a way that sounds like Chewbacca's voice.[24] All the aliens inside resemble other characters of Star Wars.[24] The opening sequence of "The Final Ending" features text that briefly recaps the conclusion of the previous part of the Wishology story in the style of the Star Wars opening crawl.[25]

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!.[26] 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.[27] 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.[28] At Dimmsdale, when he tries to figure out the chosen one riddle in order to find the white wand, Timmy becomes chased down by the police for allegedly becoming a quarter thief and smashing a statue at the Dimmsdale museum. To remain undetected, he uses a Mona Lisa painting to disguise his face, and one of the cops make note of his "Renaissance smile".[29] 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.[9]

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, which utilizes a white wand guitar controller that imitates the actual white wand, like a Guitar Hero controller that imitates a real guitar instrument.[30] 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.[31] At the site of the Abracatraz Prison, where the kidnapped fairies are held hostage, its front gate contains an inscription that reads "Abandon all hope, ye who here enter",[32] 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 that ridicules him onto a video-sharing website called "TooYube",[33] whose name and logo are similar to those of YouTube. Before heading to the Blue Moon, Turbo Thunder flies Timmy and Mark from Fridgidarium 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.[34]

In "The Final Ending", Cosmo is fed up with the Lead Eliminator whom constantly attacks his family and godchild, so he transforms into a giant creature named "Cos-zilla", a reference to the Japanese movie monster Godzilla.[35] 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.[36] 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.[37] 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.[37]

Reception

According to Nielsen ratings, Wishology received 4.012 million viewers for its first night, "The Big Beginning", about 3.6 million viewers for "The Exciting Middle Part", and 4.071 million viewers for its last night, "The Final Ending".[38][39] "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.[38] 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.[38] 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.[38][39][40] "The Final Ending" ranked in third place for Sunday night, being edged out by two other Disney Channel shows that aired simultaneously—Sonny with a Chance and Hannah Montana, which aired at 8:00 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., respectively—in terms of viewership.[38] The trilogy's ratings were highest for The Fairly OddParents since its preceding special Fairly OddBaby, which attained 8.809 million viewers during its premiere and ranked the highest in the top 20 cable network shows for the week ending on February 24, 2008.[41]

Wishology received mixed reception from critics. Eileen Cruz of Toon Zone mainly praised the television film. Specifically, she remarks it "manages to remain largely fresh the entire time" for an animated comedy episode over two hours long.[20] Aaron Bynum of The Animation Insider, however, gave a mixed to negative review to it. He suggested it was only "moderately entertaining" when it is "just another over-exerted animated epic of an over-extended property."[42] Cruz commented positively on the show's usage of both standard and computer animation; however, she also noted the blend between special 3D objects and its surroundings was "not perfect", though "not distracting either".[20] Bynum stated the animated film's usage of computer animation was "rather needless" and its cultural parodies were "tired and forgettable".[42] While he finds "The Final Ending" interesting enough to keep the viewer engaged, he also criticized the series as a whole for Wishology. He says "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".[42] Cruz praised the role of the band Kiss in the episode. She cannot think of too many other bands that "could exist in such a universe with such an exaggerated reality".[20] However, she also criticized the role of Turbo Thunder in the episode. Specifically, she sees problems with the character's voice. She finds it to be "entirely unattractive" and "off-putting," and thus "it simply didn't work for me."[20] Bynum, however, gave a more positive reaction to the character. He noted Turbo Thunder was "hilariously pretentious and self-serving", and he "ultimately makes the second chapter ["The Exciting Middle Part"] a whole lot better by acting as a frenemy with similar goals."[42]

Composer Guy Moon won an Annie Award for his music in "The Big Beginning" in the "Individual Achievement Category" of "Music in a Television Production" on February 6, 2010.[3][43][44]
