The Fairly OddParentsis a highly-acclaimed animated show that started as a series of shorts, before being picked up as a half-hour show. The show follows 10-year-old Timmy Turner, one of the most unhappy children on Earth before getting two fairy godparents, Cosmo and Wanda, that can make his every wish come true. Timmy’s wishes usually backfire, which creates all sorts of funny situations, while Timmy learns to be more careful with what he wishes for.
The immense popularity ofThe Fairly OddParentsled to ten seasons and three live-action movies. It’s still unknown if the reboot will follow the same structure as the previous live-action films, which mixed flesh and blood actors with CGI fairies.
