Jimmy Isaac Neutron's inventions often cause more problems than they solve, so when he contacts an ultra-intelligent alien life form, the boy genius sets off a chain of events that lead to the Yokians - imagine an egg with a see-through shell and green yolks - kidnapping all of the parents in Retroville. So Jimmy leads an expedition of fellow 1950s retro-styled classmates into space to rescue their parents. As is the norm since 'Toy Story', 'Jimmy Neutron' is packed with pop-references, but lacks sufficient sophistication to appeal to adults.
