All Grown Up, Danny Phantom and My Life as a Teenage Robot

Unwrap Trio of Original Must-See Movie Treats; The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius Unveils Wedding Special

SANTA MONICA, Calif., July 12 /PRNewswire/ -- As summer temps soar, Nickelodeon breaks out a trio of cool new animated flicks based on the Nicktoon hit series All Grown Up, Danny Phantom and My Life as a Teenage Robot, airing weekends in July and August, premiering Saturdays (8-9 p.m. ET/PT) and encoring Sundays (4-5 p.m. ET/PT).

The primetime hour-long armchair adventures will transport kids from a dude ranch where tween-age Tommy Pickles and his pals try their hand roping and wrangling in All Grown Up/"Dude, Where's My Horse" (July 16 & 17) to a ghost zone ruled by a ghastly spirit in Danny Phantom/"Reign Storm" (July 30 & 31) and to a planet of earth-threatening robots led by wannabe-human teen Jenny's nemesis in My Life as a Teenage Robot/"Escape from Cluster Prime" (August 13 & 14).

On tap, too, is a suspenseful trip to "My Big Fat Spy Wedding," a half- hour special episode premiere of The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius (Saturday and Sunday, July 23 & 24) featuring the voice talents of Wendie Malick as calculating recent jailbird/bride-to-be, Beautiful Gorgeous and Michael Clarke Duncan as Commander Baker of the top secret spy agency BTSO, who hires Jimmy to track Beautiful Gorgeous. The special follows up the hit Jimmy Neutron TV movie "Operation: Rescue Jet Fusion" (original air date: 10- 13-03).

Following are detailed highlights; all times ET/PT.

Saturday, July 16 (8-9 p.m.)

ALL GROWN UP/"Dude, Where's My Horse" -- Premiere -- When Grandpa Lou's buddy Red challenges the kids to work his dude ranch, Tommy jumps at the chance to prove himself and drags the rest of the gang along with him. Finding ranch work beyond grueling, the kids are one blister away from bailing when they're invited to join a real live cattle drive. As they spend the week learning to rope and ride, Tommy is the only one who finds himself out of his element. While the others easily master new wrangling skills, Tommy fails at every turn. But when the kids lose their Trail Master mid-drive, it's up to Tommy, the lamest cowboy but a born leader, to get the group to their destination. (Repeat telecast: Sunday, July 17, 4-5 p.m.)

Saturday, July 23 (8-8:30 p.m.)

THE ADVENTURES OF JIMMY NEUTRON, BOY GENIUS/ "My Big Fat Spy Wedding" -- Premiere -- Jimmy embarks on a special mission for Commander Baker at BTSO to track the activities of recent jailbird Beautiful Gorgeous (Wendie Malick). He locates the femme fatale just as she springs an apparent attack on international super spy, Jet Fusion. But to Jimmy's horror and complete confusion, Jet explains that Beautiful wasn't trying to hurt him; she was helping him with his new tuxedo ... for their wedding! Beautiful Gorgeous and Jet Fusion are getting married, and they want Jimmy to be the Best Man and present the ring at the ceremony. Has Beautiful Gorgeous really changed her ways, or is this just a diabolical plot to exact her revenge on Jet and Jimmy in one big dramatic climax. (Repeat telecast: Sunday, July 24, 4-4:30 p.m.)

Saturday, July 30 (8-9 p.m.)

DANNY PHANTOM/"Reign Storm" -- Premiere -- When Vlad Plasmius accidentally awakens the most powerful king of ghosts, Pariah Dark, Danny finds himself the pawn in an action-packed, suspenseful game of chess. The only way to defeat the Ghost King seems to be in an ecto-skeleton battle suit, but the outfit may also prove fatal. With time running out and the entire town sucked into the Ghost Zone, Danny Phantom must battle the powerful Ghost King, with the fate of his enemies, family and friends hanging in the balance. (Repeat telecast: Sunday, July 31, 4-5 p.m.)

Saturday, August 13 (8-9 p.m.)

MY LIFE AS A TEENAGE ROBOT/"Escape from Cluster Prime" -- Premiere -- Jenny is accidentally transported to Cluster Prime, the planet of robots ruled by her nemesis Vexus, where she goes through an emotional roller-coaster ride. At first, she is shocked that she finally fits in, surrounded by her true peers. But things change quickly, as she is forced to battle evil robot guards, save desperate robot slaves and face betrayal by a new robot friend. Back on Earth, Wakeman and the boys try desperately to contain a horde of colorful criminal characters that have come out of the woodwork in Jenny's absence. Ultimately, all of the heroes must work together to thwart Vexus and the Cluster's full-scale invasion of Earth. (Repeat telecast: Sunday, August 14, 4-5 p.m.)
