The specials premiered on Nickelodeon between 2004 and 2006, and were subsequently released to home video.

The Jimmy Timmy Power Hour 2: When Nerds Collide! (2006)

Jimmy and Timmy enter each other's worlds for a second time, both wanting to ask Cindy out to their school dance celebrating Friday the 13th. In an attempt to gain Cindy's affections, the two engage in a battle of smarts that sends Jimmy and his friends to Dimmsdale. As Timmy seeks to prove that Jimmy is a fraudulent scientist, Cosmo and Wanda struggle to keep their existence a secret from the people of Retroville. Meanwhile, Professor Calamitous, a major villain in Jimmy's universe, unleashes a surge of anti-fairies from Fairy World that threatens the rotation of Timmy's Earth. Jorgen Von Strangle, the powerful fairy commander and enforcer of Da Rules, gets increasingly frustrated by both Jimmy and Timmy's friends and their manipulation of fairy magic. In addition, Jorgen is forced to work with Calamitous after he is betrayed by the leader of the anti-fairies, Anti-Cosmo.

In their third and final encounter, Jimmy and Timmy make amends while trying to defeat the enemies from their own universes—including a monster that they concoct together—while purposefully rejecting their respective friends in the process, including Cindy. Initially, they are unable to make the monster evil enough to fight them properly, but when they succeed, he almost immediately turns against them and absorbs Cosmo and Wanda's magic and Jimmy's intelligence, and then begins destroying both children's universes.

Production

Each special in the Jimmy Timmy Power Hour series combines the 2D hand-drawn traditional animation of the Fairly OddParents and the 3D computer-generated imagery animation of The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius. This blending of animation techniques was a technical challenge for the studios responsible for both series, according to Keith Alcorn, co-founder of series producer DNA Productions.

Release and reception

According to Variety, the first episode was seen by nearly five million viewers on its Nickelodeon premiere, on May 7, 2004. Terry Kelleher of People gave the first special three stars out of four, calling it a "blast of creativity" although hard to follow. The Washington Post similarly gave it praise. In his review of the DVD release, John Sinnott of DVD Talk called the first special "an above-average extra-long episode."

The third and final episode aired July 21, 2006. In 2024, Game Rant ranked it at number nine of "9 Best Nickelodeon Cartoon Crossovers".
