| - Later, while he is eating breakfast, Timmy's parents provide him with their own birthday gifts - a newspaper with want ads and home rental listings, which they have been giving him for the past few years. Timmy tells his parents that he is never growing up or leaving them, but they insist that he must because they have already sold the house. Timmy quickly wishes the house unsold, which causes a realty agent to change the sale sign outside of the home. Timmy then heads off to school, during which he has a brief run-in with his old archenemy Vicky, who now runs a day care. At school, Timmy is shown still sitting in Mr. Crocker's fifth grade class, a fact that Crocker deduces to the fact that Timmy is trying to keep his fairy godparents. On his way home from school, Timmy heads through Dimmsdale Park when he suddenly catches sight of a beautiful girl his age and starts following her. Nearby, he sees the Mayor of Dimmsdale introducing Hugh J. Magnate Jr., the CEO of Magnate Power, who promises the citizens of "Dummsdale" reasonably affordable and dirty power after he tears down the park and turns it into an oil well hotel complex. The girl, however, protests Magnate and chains herself to the Dimmsdale Dogwood, a large tree in the center of the park. Magnate mocks her as a "tree-hugging wheat grass sucking outsider", but the girl says she is from Dimmsdale and that her name is Tootie. Needless to say, Timmy is surprised to realize that this girl he's now attracted to is the same girl who constantly pestered him for affection when he was ten. Magnate sends his bulldozers to crush the Dogwood tree, and Tootie along with it if she doesn't move, but Timmy wishes the bulldozers to break down, Magnate's chainsaws to turn into balloons, and then for Chompy the Goat to eat Magnate's pants. While the crowd laughs at Magnate's expense, Timmy runs over to meet Tootie, who still remembers who he is, and appears to still quite obviously like him. Timmy tells Tootie that he is still in school, and she takes it to mean he is an educated man, unaware he means elementary school. Timmy and Tootie hug, but soon a strange feeling causes Timmy to make an excuse about a sunburn to get away from Tootie. Meanwhile in his limo, Magnate is yelling at his assistant Janice about his plan being ruined, when he suddenly gets a phone call from a mysterious voice, which turns out to be Crocker as he is given away by his mother calling him for dinner. Crocker tells Magnate to meet him at the corner of Hall and Oates at a restaurant called a Chinese restaurant called the Alley. That night, Magnate arrives at the Alley and meets with Crocker, who explains to him that Magnate's problems at the park were caused by Timmy Turner's fairies. Magnate agrees to fund Crocker's plans for an Atomic Fairy Incarcerator, a prison for harnessing their powers. The next day, at Timmy's house, his fairies are questioning him on his weird behavior. Timmy thinks he is sick because his stomach is in knots and his heart is racing. Wanda says he has been acting that way since he saw Tootie in the park yesterday. Timmy admits that he admires Tootie for being brave and sure of herself, and Wanda realizes that he is falling in love with Tootie and is now at risk of losing his fairies forever. Just then, Timmy's dad calls him from below and says that Tootie is there, so he tries to escape. He makes his way through the city, spinning a yo-yo to try to keep himself distracted, but Tootie catches up with him, and asks him if he wants to go to the waterfront and share a smoothie. Timmy gives in, as smoothies are his weakness, while Cosmo and Wanda monitor the love meter, which is quickly rising. At the lakeshore, Timmy spends some bonding time with Tootie, the both of them unaware of the Dragonspy, a dragonfly-shaped camera that Crocker is using to spy on them. During this, Timmy loses his trademark pink hat. Later, they go to share dinner at a fancy restaurant, where Tootie presents Timmy with a new hat to replace the one he lost. To Timmy's admiration, she then tells him if she could wish for anything, she'd wish to clean up the park so that it would be like it was in their childhood. Cosmo and Wanda, disguising themselves as the salt and pepper shakers, try to get Timmy's attention, but to no avail. They then turn into human waiters (played by Cheryl Hines and Jason Alexander respectively) and disrupt the dinner by pouring food all over Tootie. As Tootie goes to clean herself off, Timmy questions his fairies' intentions and wishes the mess off of Tootie, then tells them he has another secret wish he wants them to grant. Later, Timmy brings Tootie to the Dimmsdale Park, where it is revealed he used the wish to completely renovate the park. The local children also notice the change, and quickly flock to the park to play. Timmy and Tootie sit in the Dogwood tree, under the eyes of Cosmo and Wanda (still in their human disguises) watching sadly while pushing Poof in a baby carriage. Timmy puts his coat around Tootie and then snaps his fingers, and Cosmo reluctantly grants a wish which makes the dogwood tree blossom above Timmy and Tootie's heads. However, just as they are about to kiss, Wanda cries out, causing Timmy to look back and fall out of the tree. Tootie flips down from the tree and begins to suspect Timmy is hiding something from her, such as another girlfriend or a previous bad relationship. Since Timmy cannot explain his situation to Tootie, she becomes upset and yells at him "Grow up, Timmy Turner!", before running away sobbing and leaving a distraught Timmy collapsed on the grass. Cosmo and Wanda, pleased at this development, change back to their normal forms. While angrily storming away through the city, Tootie notices a seemingly innocent-looking bunny lost in the city. She tries to pick it up, but it springs a trap. She is kidnapped by Hugh J. Magnate's goons and taken into his limo, where Magnate reveals that the bunny was working for him. Some of Timmy's classmates, however, witness Tootie getting kidnapped, and sprint off to warn Timmy. Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof also witness Tootie's capture, and while Cosmo and Wanda celebrate at first, a long hard stare by Poof brings out their guilt, and they too set out to tell Timmy of Tootie's peril. Unfortunately, Mr. Crocker quickly captures them using the raygun he and Magnate built. Back at the park, Timmy's classmates tell him of Tootie's capture. Timmy tries to simply wish Tootie back, but when nothing happens, and a help message magically appears on his book bag, Timmy realizes that his fairies have also been captured. Timmy steals a dirt bike in order to get to Magnate's headquarters. While driving through the city, he runs into Vicky again and accidentally causes her to splatter a pizza all over her face. She angrily begins to chase Timmy down the street, when suddenly Jorgen, who has been trying to hit Timmy with Cupid's Love Arrows, suddenly appears in front of him and causes him to crash the bike. But just as Jorgen tries to shoot Timmy with another arrow, Vicky catches up and throws a slice of pizza at Timmy. It misses and hits Jorgen instead, causing him to fire the love arrow at Vicky, who immediately falls for the musclebound fairy and starts chasing him around. Timmy sees that his dirtbike is wrecked, and that he must now find alternate transport. He then comes upon his old friends, Chester and A.J., and asks for them to give him a lift to Magnate's headquarters. When A.J. asks why he doesn't just call the police, Timmy reveals to his them that he has had fairy godparents all along. Chester and A.J. initially refuse to help him, but they change their minds when he offers to help them get girlfriends. At his headquarters, Magnate brings Tootie into his evil lair, which resembles a horrific Mike E. Mozzerella's Pizza Fun House, and places her into a ball cage suspended in the air. While overhearing his ranting about fairies, Tootie recognizes Mr. Crocker, and also notices the fairies trapped inside the Atomic Fairy Incarcerator. Magnate uses a remote which draws powers directly from the fairies and gradually drains their life force, allowing Magnate to make any wish he pleases. He wishes for a bottomless ball pit, and Mr. Crocker tests it out on one of Magnate's goons. After seeing that the bottomless ball pit works, Magnate promptly betrays Crocker and wishes him into the ball pit. Cosmo and Wanda mock Magnate for being less of a man than Timmy is, but this only prompts Magnate to make more wishes, including a huge mustache, a buff upper body, and turning an action figure he stole earlier into an actual robot servant. While Magnate continues to make errant wishes, severely weakening the fairies, Tootie notices the cage's unlock switch below her and grabs it using Timmy's yo-yo (which was still in his coat that she's still wearing). While Magnate is distracted by his ridiculous wishing (to the point that his assistant Janice gets sick of it and leaves), Tootie escapes from her prison. Eventually, after being driven there by Chester and A.J. Timmy makes it to Magnate's building and takes the elevator down to the lair. Magnate orders his robot servant to attack Timmy; the robot's laser blast misses, however, and hits the rope bridge instead, leaving Tootie suspended over the ball pit and hanging on for dear life. Magnate drops the remote in the process, and it gets lost underneath steam from a broken pipe. Timmy notices his captured fairies, and hears Tootie calling him for help. He tries to wish the bottomless ball pit into pillows, but Wanda explains their magic is being rerouted and they can't grant his wishes now. After disabling Magnate's robot servant by removing one of its batteries, Timmy swings on a rope to rescue Tootie from falling into the bottomless pit. Unfortunately, Timmy's fairies have had their life forces almost completely drained. Magnate corners the pair, forming energy from the fairies with his hands to blast them into oblivion. With no other choice left, Timmy decides it's time to grow up - he reaches over to Tootie, admits his love for her, and embraces her into a long passionate kiss, which causes Magnate's wishes to begin to reverse, and Timmy's fairies' life force to return, as Timmy is now becoming grown-up. However, this now means that Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof must return to Fairy World. Timmy says goodbye to his fairies as they slowly disappear - and then vanish to safety. Magnate frets about losing his magic power, but Timmy tells him it was neither of theirs to begin with, and then leaves with his new girlfriend. The next day, the newspapers report that Magnate was locked up in an insane asylum as nobody believed him about the fairies, and Janice took over Magnate's company and pledges to use clean energy. While reading the newspapers in Dimmsdale Park, Tootie congratulates Timmy for saving the dogwood tree and tells him she's still amazed to learn that he had fairy godparents all these years. Timmy seems saddened, and wishes that he could see them once again. Just then, Jorgen appears, trying to hide from the still-lovestruck Vicky, and then tells Timmy that he has a big surprise for him. Timmy and Tootie are brought to Fairy World and before the Fairy Council, who reveal that a new rule has been put into Da Rules - the "Timmy Turner Loophole". Due to Timmy's undying love of his fairies, as well as his many services to Fairy World in years past, Timmy is allowed to keep his fairies forever on the condition that he uses their wishes for unselfish purposes. Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof reunite with Timmy, and then they are properly introduced to Tootie. A few months later, Timmy and Tootie begin their new lives together running a business called "Wishful Thinking" from out of a pink van, using the fairies' magic to bring better changes to the world. While they are about to depart, Poof finally says his first words to Timmy and Tootie, voiced by American Idol judge Randy Jackson With that, Timmy, Tootie, and the fairies drive off in the flying van, passing by Chester and A.J. and their new girlfriends. Meanwhile, Timmy's parents are relaxing outside their house, when Crocker suddenly falls from the sky in front of them and walks off, as suspicious as ever.
- The television film was released on Region 1 DVD by Nickelodeon Studios on July 11, 2011. On March 14, 2012, Nickelodeon announced a sequel to 2011’s hit live-action TV movie, A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up Timmy Turner!, entitled "A Fairly Odd Christmas", which first premiered during 2012's holiday season.
- A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner! is a Made for TV Movie that is the second Live Action Adaptation of one of Nickelodeon's cartoons - in this case, The Fairly Odd Parents. The film is set thirteen years following the events depicted in the original series, but nothing has changed for Timmy (played here by Drake Bell) except for his physical age now being 23. He still lives at home with his parents, attends Mr. Crocker's fifth grade class, and rides a tiny children's bicycle to school. Timmy's arrested development stems from his desire to keep his fairy godfamily, Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof, for as long as possible. "Da Rules" state that every child must eventually give up his or her Fairy Godparents when they become an adult, but Timmy has found a loophole around this rule by acting like a child. But Timmy's carefree life takes an unexpected change when he comes across his former Stalker with a Crush, Tootie (Daniella Monet), who has grown up to become a brave, beautiful nature-loving woman. While seeing Tootie protesting the plans of an evil oil tycoon named Hugh J. Magnate Jr. to tear down the old Dimmsdale Park, Timmy finds himself developing romantic feelings for her, and he has to decide whether he keep being a child to keep the fairy family he has known for so long, or grow up and be with the woman he loves. As if that isn't enough, Magnate joins forces with Mr. Crocker to capture Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof, planning to use them to fuel his maniacal ambition. The film first aired July 9, 2011. A sequel titled "A Fairly Odd Christmas" is planned for holiday 2012. The movie will feature Drake Bell and Daniella Monet reprising their roles as Timmy and Tootie.
* Adult Fear: Seeing Cosmo and Wanda slowly dying as they're drained of their magic is bad. Seeing Poof, a baby, slowly dying as he's drained of his magic is absolutely terrifying.
* All There in the Script: Timmy's classmates who alert him about Tootie being kidnapped are named Mouse, Howie, Katie, and Ravi. Mouse is the only one who is addressed by name onscreen.
* Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: To try and get Tootie to marry Timmy, his parents offer her money, livestock, and raisins.
* The Artifact: Vicky, Chester, and AJ. None of them are in the original cut. In the extended version, Vicky doesn't even have a minute of screentime, and the latter two have about three minutes.
* Big Bad: Hugh J. Magnate Jr.
* Big Damn Heroes: Timmy saving Tootie from falling off the bridge and into the bottomless ball pit by swinging on a rope and grabbing her.
* The Big Damn Kiss: Timmy and Tootie kiss toward the end of the movie, which causes Timmy to lose his fairies.... temporarily.
* Big Damn Movie: As per usual with Fairly Oddparents movies.
* Bottomless Pits: Magnate wishes up a bottomless ball pit, fitting with his Psychopathic Manchild personality.
* Though it's not truly bottomless- Crocker lands in the Turners' front yard at the end.
* Brick Joke: Crocker falling down the bottomless ball pit.
* Broad Strokes: How the movie approaches most of the series' continuity. The characters and the premise are mostly intact, but the details of particular episodes are often lost.
* Call Back: The entire premise of Timmy acting like a kid to keep his Fairy God Parents is one to an episode in season two called "The Big Problem!", where Timmy wishes himself to be an adult and nearly loses his fairies since only kids can have them, but exploits a loophole that an adult that is a 'kid at heart' can keep his fairies.
* Another one comes from the season four episode "Channel Chasers", where at the end Timmy is all grown up with two kids of his own, one who looks suspiciously like Tootie when she was a kid, alluding to the two hooking up in this film.
* Casting Gag: Daran Norris as Timmy's Dad, who voiced him in the series and was modeled after him.
* Catch Phrase: Chester: "Jealous?"
* Chekhov's Gun: Timmy's toy yo-yo is later used by Tootie to escape from the cage.
* Chewing the Scenery: Jorgen, Crocker, and Magnate for sure. Vicky as well. That scenery must be delicious!
* Childhood Memory Demolition Team: Magnate and his men trying to tear down the Dimmsdale Dogwood, which Tootie chains herself to.
* Composite Character: Magnate seems to be a combination of Doug Dimmadome (Oil Tycoon) and Flappy Bob (Businessman with Daddy Issues).
* Corrupt Corporate Executive: Magnate, the Big Bad.
* Creator Cameo: Butch Hartman appears as the maitre d'.
* Distant Finale: The events of the movie take place thirteen years after the cartoon's time frame.
* Dramatic Curtain Toss: When Hugh J. Magnate Jr. reveals his concepts for the mine.
* Duet Bonding: Drake Bell (Timmy) and Daniella Monet (Tootie) sing the song "Lookin' Like Magic", which plays during their date montage.
* Everything's Better with Motorcycles: Timmy "borrows" one in order to get to Magnate's hideout.
* Eye Pop: Cosmo and Wanda do this in sync with Timmy's Spit Take.
* Freudian Excuse: In the scene where they first visit Magnate's evil lair, he starts to explain the reason his evil lair is "colorful" because he didn't have a childhood because his father made him work as a kid and didn't allow him to have friends.
* Friend Versus Lover: The main premise of the movie: Timmy has to choose between keeping his fairies or being with Tootie. Timmy ultimately chooses to grow up and be with Tootie. Because of this, and how much Timmy loved his fairies, Jorgen ultimately allows him to keep them, on the condition that he's less selfish with them.
* Getting Crap Past the Radar: Hearing Tootie mutter "Oh, balls!" in frustration is a little bit jarring, considering it's a Nickelodeon production. Although considering that Daniella is part of the cast of Victorious it's not that much of a stretch. Of course, she's dangling over a bottomless ball pit at the moment, but still it's a little odd.
* "I got a tooty fruity with fudge on top!"
* Granola Girl: Tootie has become interested in helping animals and the environment.
* Growing Up Sucks: Ultimately subverted. As Timmy ends up being happy grown up, and thanks to how much he loved his fairies, Jorgen adds a loophole so he can keep them. Timmy and Tootie then use them to help others at the end of the film.
* Hoist by His Own Petard: Crocker
* Instant Plunder, Just Add Pirates: The pirate battle at the beginning.
* If You Die, I Call Your Stuff: During the pirate battle at the beginning, Cosmo asks him "If you die, can I have your bike?"
* Kissing in a Tree: Timmy and Tootie sit together and nearly kiss in the dogwood tree that Tootie saved earlier, but are interrupted by Wanda. If one looks very closely, they can also see names carved on the tree: Timmy/Tootie and Timmy's Dad/Timmy's Mom, the latter being quite humorous when one considers it was probably written there before Timmy was even born.
* Fridge Logic: In one episode, it is revealed Timmy's parents had mom and dad as their nicknames, and they liked the name "Timmy".
* Key Under the Doormat: How Chester opens the door to Magnate's headquarters.
* Large Ham: Again, Jorgen, Crocker, and Magnate.
* And when she appears, Vicky.
* Live Action Adaptation
* Loophole Abuse: How Timmy manages to keep his fairies for so long since as long as he acts like a kid, hes allowed to keep them (this is also sort of a Call Back to the first episode which also used this.) Jorgen ultimately uses this as well to let the fairies stay with Timmy.
* Magic Skirt: Tootie has one when she flips over the barrier, rushing to the tree.
* Man Child: Timmy Turner, referenced by name from Crocker. Also Magnate when get his hands on the fairies power, but of the evil and insane kind.
* Mecha-Mooks: Magnate uses Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof to wish one up out of an action figure.
* Medium Awareness: Twice in the movie, Timmy briefly recalls how Tootie looked as a kid using a thought balloon, and both times, Cosmo, Wanda and Poof see it coming and move out of the camera to give it space.
* My Name Is Not Durwood: Magnate doesn't bother to remember Tootie's name.
* Nice Hat: Timmy loses his trademark pink hat midway through the film, but Tootie gets him a fedora (which is also pink) to replace it.
* Howie also wears one, as does Ravi.
* Noodle Incident: Magnate's remark about people like Tootie moving when he tries to tear what they're protecting down...most of the time, implies he's actually gone through with it when they haven't moved... What exactly happened to them and how Magnate wasn't in prison for this has never been explained.
* Not-So-Harmless Villain: Mr. Crocker.
* One-Scene Wonder: Jason Alexander and Cheryl Hines as human Cosmo and Wanda, much to the disappointment of many who felt they were much better than the CGI fairies with their TV voices that were used through most of the film.
* Vicky's scenes.
* Opt Out: Magnate's assistant chooses to leave before the climax really gets going.
* Potty Emergency: Timmy wishes for Crocker to have "the atomic runs".
* Psychopathic Manchild: Magnate turns out to be one.
* Right-Hand-Cat: Or in Magnate's case, a bunny
* Running Gag: Jorgen trying (and failing) to hit Timmy with Cupid's arrows.
* She Is All Grown Up: Tootie.
* Shipper on Deck: Mostly inverted - Cosmo & Wanda spend much of the first half of the movie trying to prevent Timmy and Tootie from getting together, as it would make Timmy grow up and lose them. But this begins to change after the below-mentioned What the Hell, Hero? moment, and by the end of the film, they're happy that Timmy and Tootie are finally together.
* Shout-Out:
* Crocker tells Magnate to meet him at a restaurant at the corner of Hall and Oates.
* The Wishful Thinking van taking off into the sky at the end mimics the closing shot from Back to The Future.
* Spaghetti Kiss: Crocker and Magnate almost share one during their initial meeting.
* Spit Take: Timmy's reaction when Tootie says the above My Name Is Not Durwood line.
* Suspiciously Specific Denial: Cosmo does this when posing as Timmy's waiter.
* Throw the Dog a Bone: Mr. Crocker gets taken seriously for a change.
* Title Drop: Tootie gives one of these after Timmy denies her a kiss after things started to move for them romantically.
* Trailers Always Spoil: A behind-the-scenes promo posted on Nickelodeon's website shows a brief shot of the scene where Tootie meets Cosmo, Wanda & Poof. Indeed, the trailers shoved so much in - right before the show started - you had to ignore the screen.
* The Triple: Timmy's parents attempt to offer gifts to Tootie:
* Villain Team-Up: Crocker and Magnate join forces.
* Vocal Dissonance: When Poof talks at the very end.
* Waxing Lyrical: While watching Timmy fight pirates, Cosmo chants, "To the right! To the left! Everything you own is in a box to your left!"
* What Happened to the Mouse?: What happened to that security guard who fell into the ball pit?
* Probably fell out onto the Turner residence' front lawn minutes before Crocker.
* What the Hell, Hero?: Poof manages to do this simply by staring at Cosmo and Wanda.
* You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Magnate drops a random Mook and Crocker down the bottomless ball pit he used Cosmos, Wanda, and Poof to wish up. And then he embarrasses his other Mook out of the room by wishing him into a dress soon after.
