2001 Nickelodeon animated film Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius. A
10-year-old boy named Jimmy Neutron wishes to go to the opening
of a theme park, but was told by his parents he couldn't.
Meanwhile, he sent a satellite made out of a toaster to try to
connect with aliens for intergalactic peace. However, the aliens
