The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish

The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish is the second reboot to the Fairly OddParents, the first being the Paramount+-exclusive Fairly Odder, which was cancelled after one season due to it being an attempt to turn the series into a live-action sitcom continuation (as well as some people believing the series did not need to be brought back, among other reasons), and can be seen by many fans as Nickelodeon still being unable to make up their minds on whether the FOP should stay cancelled or not (as the original show was infamous for being cancelled, only to be suddenly renewed).

Set in the city of Dimmadelphia, the show follows Hazel Wells, a ten-year-old girl whose family moved into the city. Missing her brother, Antony, who is in college, Hazel is sad and depressed, but soon, her life is about to turn Fairly Odd, as her next-door neighbors end up being Cosmo and Wanda, Timmy's fairy godparents. Having retired sometime prior to the series, seeing Hazel being miserable, they decide to come out of retirement and become her fairy godparents, where like with Timmy, each wish causes an adventure as they usually go wrong.

So, yeah, basically, this is yet another reboot, and somehow, this is fairly better than Fairly Odder. Taking the series back to its animated roots, A New Wish goes CGI with the characters looking like they were made for the original show (and even some still images made for flashbacks and the title cards done in the 2D style of the original show). Sadly, the show is said to feature mostly new characters, with Cosmo, Wanda, and the strict Jorgen von Strangle being the only three characters returning (unless Nickelodeon and the series decide to have the characters return at some point if the show does good enough to go beyond one season). For the voice acting, Daran Norris and. Susanne Blakeslee return to voice Cosmi and Wanda (with Daran also reprises the role of Jorgen). Ashleigh Crystal Harrison, best known as the voice of Babs Bunny on Tiny Toons Looniversity. Voices Hazel, and does an amazing job, and the show brings in some well known VAs like Grey Griffin,Eric Bauza, and even Carlos Alazraqul, whom FOP fans remember as the voice of series antagonist Denzel Crocker, was invited to voice a new character in Mr. Guzman, who is a lot nicer and gives Hazel good advice (as the mean adult role went to the principal,Amy Krentz, who is one of Grey Griffin's characters, who is basically mean, strict, and is obsessed with perfection or winning,

With the new characters and settings, the formula is always the same, as each episode has Hazel makes a wish, only for it to go bad, just like it did with Timmy in the original show, and learning an important lesson along the way. However, I have to give this a sevem as despite being good, the new characters were a hit-or-miss, as well as of the humor not being funny, but A New Wish is good, and I hope it gets newer fans to go and check out the original show.

When I first heard about this show, I didn't have high hopes. I expected it to be like some of the other shows that have come out recently, which were not very good. I thought it might be another disappointment, like the show "Fanboy and Chum Chum." However, I was pleasantly surprised. From the very first episode, the show grabbed my attention. The characters are interesting and the story is good but not perfect. It is clear that the creators put a lot of effort into making this show enjoyable for all ages. The animation is also very well done. The colors are bright and vibrant, which makes the show visually appealing. Not like the other reboots we had.

I love the new art style it reminds me of the Peanuts Movie. The reboot did a pretty good job being true to the original while still doing its own thing. In this new version, Cosmo and Wanda have a new Godkid and it takes place in the future. I prefer the original but this is a worthy reboot. It's pretty funny so I would recommend checking it out. My man Poof had better appear he is one of my favorite characters. I also hope they show the whereabouts of what happened to other characters from the original. What happened to Chloe, What happened to Sparky, What happened to Chester, What happened to AJ, What happened to Vicky, What Happened to Tootie, What happened to Darth Lazer, etc.

Legitimately surprised with how this one turned out. Its miles better than the final couple seasons of the fairly oddparents. The problem with the original show is that the studio kept dragging it out for WAY too long, running it into the ground so hard that by the time it ended, pretty much everyone involved (from the animators, to the writers, to the voice actors) werent even trying anymore. And when i went into this show i was just worried it was going to be a continuation of that, but no, they gave it a well needed new coat of paint.

For one thing the returning characters arent flanderized as heck in this one, cosmo isnt a complete braindead moron and wanda isnt a condescending nag. Theres also a good amount of callbacks to the original series which actually served a purpose, and the writing quality is really improved.

Another thing they improved upon the show is how they managed to flush out characters that the original series would have just pushed to the side. Like hazels parents for example, they could have easily just made them generic parent stereotypes like timmys parents were, but no, they actually have personalities this time around. The writing isnt lazy or cheap, in the original series the writers pretty much gave up following the shows rules by the end of it, and its nice to have writers that actually care this time around

also the animation, oh man the animation is good. Its highly stylized 3D animation that imitates 2D, and its done surprisingly well. Like i expect a level of quality like this in a movie, this is probably the first ever tv show to have a "spider verse" level of stylization. I also like how they occasionally bring in the old 2D style and integrate it seamlessly with the modern animation style. No idea how they have the budget for this, but im impressed.

Its not bad, it really is. Its a good idea being taken in the right direction for once.

Look, I get it. People are really piling on this show with negative reviews. But come on, it's gone too far now. You all are hating on it way more than it deserves. Sure, maybe it's not quite as amazing as the original series. That doesn't mean it's terrible though. The way some folks are talking, you'd think this new show personally insulted them or something. It's just a show meant for kids, not the end of the world! I've been reading through so many reviews, and honestly, a lot of them don't make any sense to me. It feels like people decided they were going to hate it before they even watched it. They're nitpicking every little thing and blowing the good proportion of the show away. Like, are we even watching the same show here? I'm not saying it's perfect, but it's nowhere near as bad as these reviews are making it out to be. Some people are getting mad about the tiniest details that don't even matter. Who cares if a character's hair is different or if the character is black. That stuff isn't what makes or breaks a show. On less they pull the same writing as Velma. Nothing will ever be exactly like the og show, but that doesn't mean new things should be automatically bad.
