The series continued where the original movie ''Re-Animated'' left off. Pre-teen Jimmy Roberts ([[Dominic Janes]]) gets into an accident at Gollyworld, a theme park based on the cartoon character, Golly Gopher. He gets hit by a park train, flying in the air, to land on concrete. As a result, Jimmy needs a brain transplant. He gets the brain of Milt Appleday, the late cartoonist who created Golly Gopher and the other characters of his cartoons. Milt had [[schizophrenia]], which allowed him, and now Jimmy, to see the cartoon characters in real life. Sonny Appleday (Matt Knudsen), Milt's son, wants the brain for himself. He plans to become a great cartoonist with his father's brain, which he believes would allow him to rule the world.

Cartoon Network ordered 20 episodes, which were filmed from May to September 2007. In airing the show, Cartoon Network split the series into two "seasons." The first "season" of the show premiered in September 2007 and lasted 13 episodes. The channel later aired the remaining seven episodes as the second "season," starting in March 2008, one week after the airing of episode 13, which was considered part of the first season. The show's hiatus between seasons (actually between episodes 12 and 13) coincided with the 2007 Writers Guild of America strike, which led many to believe that writing on the show had been interrupted. In fact, writing and production for all episodes had been completed in September. However, the strike did prevent the writers from being involved in editing and post-production, including the controversial decision to add a [[laugh track]] beginning with episode 8, "Skate Night." Following the strike, the series was not renewed.
