Hi, fellow fans! I'm here to send forward an announcement of awesomemercerdude at YouTube considering a Jimmy Neutron fanreboot (a non-profit project):

 

zdog95ster and I already offered to stick to this project. I'll be the lead animator and fanvoice for Carl, his dad, Ms. Fowl and principal Willabee.

 

What we have so far are few models ripped from Attack of Twonkies, which I'll be subsurfing and rigging. Here's a little sample I made on Jimmy:

Yeah, after I rendered this, I fixed the icon in Jimmy's shirt, so that'll look smoother.

 

The other characters we have from the game are:

Goddard, Carl, Sheen, Judy, Hugh, Cindy, Libby, Nick, Ms Fowl and principal Willabee.

 

There are lot more characters pending from Attack of Twonkies, as well as environments and objects (like Strato XL-rocket) from that game. The one who ripped the models we got so far, refused to get the rest, so I'll rip them myself. BUT the game is so hard, that I hope someone could bring me savestates of Attack of Twonkies, so I can get models from levels that would otherwise take forever to get into.

 

We also need fanvoices for the rest of the characters (except Goddard's, hes voice will be recycled or generated with tts) and co-writers (and possibly the storyboard artists, but I'm not sure). amd and I have few ideas for episodes, but I got an idea for just one full episode.

 

Also, there'll be moments with multiple characters doing different moves simultaneusly. For one animator that'll be a hard work, so we're hoping there are other animators that use Blender, who could co-animate with me.

 

So, if anybody is interested, you can contact either amd via awesomemercer.dude@gmail.com or me by commenting this thread, PM or via gwktmplus@gmail.com. The finished reboot will premiere primarly in amd's channel.

 

Thank you for your attention

Maybe this little progress update will attract you better:

 

I tried out ripping those models myself. First what I got is Butch:

Had to borrow Carl's hands though, cause Butch kept his hands together.

 

I'll smooth and rig the model soon enough

 

So I just need savestates of Attack of Twonkies, so I can get models from levels that would otherwise take forever to get into.

Good to know. Is there anything you can help me with considering the fanreboot?

[JimmyxxCindy4EVER]

Spread the word is probably it, cuz I have very little digital manipulation skills, nothing like you're doing here... *shrug* Just some photoshop basics and that's it. I can show it to THE Keith Alcorn, though! I'm friends with him on FB!

[GWKTM]

Hmm, hope they don't mind someone else is doing a reboot before them, even though it's non-profit and fanmade. One bright side is that they'll know what we expect from the official reboot.

 

But yes, you can spread the word.

 

PS, Could you ask Alcorn why they're bringing the reboot to Netflix, if they could bring it to normal TV-broadcast instead? Not everyone affords Netflix.

Progress update: Are you going to finish that croissant?

[GWKTM]

Seesh! It's been about 11 months since I first announced this fanreboot and no one still hasn't submitted any screenplays or synopsises. Thought of having at least one finished screenplay to work with by now.

 

Are we having a failure to communicate?

[GWKTM]

Great news! I just don't know where else to share them.

Anyway, I finally get to read Return of the Pumpkin Head from star to finish. Well ok, someone else read it for me. And that someone was someTHING. And that something was a YouTube video where a kid read it to his mom. It seemed like if mom was giving him a therapy or something, as she sometimes gave kid some questions regarding the book. Plus the kid sounded autistic, which says alot.

Anyway, while listening to it, I wrote the whole story down in notepad, so that turning it into fanreboot's episode would be easier. I also took snapshots of some of the pages for reference for new characters and elements.

With that said, I got a question for those who have this book: What is Jimmy dressed as in it? Luke Skywalker? The book was yet too far from camera to answer that question.

Btw, I'm writing the fanreboot episodes just as a precaution in case that rumored weakass reboot turns out to be real, which I rather hope it won't.

[GWKTM]

I managed to write two full screenplays so far. The adaptation of the Pumpkin head story, and the episode inspired by one of the fanfics. The latter would make an ideal season finale due to involvement of Yolkians. There are yet some details left to come up with.

[GWKTM]

Behold! The upscaled Strato XL

Upscaled from Attack of Twonkies model, that is.

 

I also reduced some of the details THQ removed or substituted. With control panel though, I wanted to retrace one from Jimmy's old rocket:

 

Looks so much cooler and less compact. Strato XL deserves some of old rocket's features anyway. Such as parachute break.

[SheWolf]

All of these look really great, btw. Who did you have in mind to do the voice acting?

[JimmyxxCindy4EVER]

I can do Jimmy, Cindy, Libby, and Carl fairly decently, but I tend to be hesitant about recording my voice... The other characters I'm just okay at, I think...
