Fairly Oddparents: Abra-Catastrophe the Movie (2003)

The Fairly Oddparents is one of the funniest cartoons on the planet with fast-paced, jam-packed laugh appeal for kids as well as adults. (I think only the new Penguins of Madagascar has more perfect physical humor and pithy one-liners per minute.) Abra-Catastrophe starts with Timmy Turner dreaming in perfect spoofs of The Empire Strikes Back, Spider-Man 3, and Jurassic Park. He wakes up to be given a "magic fairy muffin" that grants anyone who eats it anything they wish -- which is a problem because if Crocker, the crazed teacher with a fixation on fairies, gets it, he intends to make himself supreme evil ruler of the world. All kinds of complications ensue -- including a movie-in-the-movie called Fairly Odd Primates. I never tire of catching this cartoon on cable. 5 stars.
