From the gritty misadventures of Jesse Pinkman in The way to the epic battles of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Netflix has conquered a wide variety of different franchises from different networks. However, there are plenty of titles that could be explored further from Nickelodeon.
While the The Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie was a fun entry into the franchise, Nickelodeon’s shows have even more to offer. sponge Bob Y avatar the last airbender These are two titles that have already received blockbuster movies (with varying degrees of success), but there are plenty of other Nickelodeon titles that deserve a shot, whether in an animated sequel or live-action version.
The Wild Thornberries
The Wild Thornberries features a family that makes documentaries about wildlife. It stars the eccentric host Nigel and his daughter Eliza, who has the ability to communicate with animals. They are accompanied by the rest of their family, including a chimpanzee named Darwin.
As long as there has been one wild thornberry movie, cleverly titled the Wild Thornberrys MovieWell, that movie was released in 2002. It would be great to see a proper reboot in movie or TV form, but Netflix could do an especially good job with another movie. Whether there’s a time jump in Eliza’s life and career or she’s just going on a random family adventure, the Thornberries need new content.
back in the barnyard
back in the barnyard was a television series based on the movie Corral about a cow named Otis who runs a barnyard full of anthropomorphic animals who are constantly having fun.
A sequel to Corral It would be a fun exploration of where animal life has gone since the end of Back in the barnyard. Similar to another strangely similar concept in toy storyKeeping their true nature a secret from humans is a big part of barnyard animal adventures. Having a human protagonist discover and interact with Otis and the others could be a fun sequel concept.
Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide
declassified ned It was one of Nickelodeon’s best non-animated series. It starred the titular protagonist Ned Bigby, as well as his friends Moze and Cookie as they try to survive high school.
While the actors are well past the age of a high school sequel, there are a few directions a declassified ned the movie could go. College or even “adulthood” would be both possible options. Another would be for the children of the original main characters to be the stars of the film in a cutting-edge version of the future of school survival guides.
rugrats
rugrats follows the misadventures of a group of babies trying to make sense of the adult world. As a result, the series features a lot of adult humor that made it even funnier for its more mature audiences.
While the rugrats reboot is currently at Paramount+, that wouldn’t stop Netflix from picking up the rights to make a movie in the future. However, it may have to be in the distant future given the nature of the contracts. Still the original rugrats It may not be the ideal series of the franchise to turn into a movie. Instead, the sequel all adults has much more convincing versions of the cast to make a movie.
My life as a teenage robot
My life as a teenage robot was one of Nickelodeon’s most underrated cartoons. Starring female robot presenter X-J9, also known as Jenny, who wanted to live as a normal teenager despite her job as protector of the earth.
Jenny’s adventures with her friends Brad and Sheldon, as well as Brad’s younger brother Tuck, would make for an excellent movie. There are still many things that can be resolved in the My life as a teenage robot world, including the other robots and any potential romance in the series. Whichever direction they take, Jenny and Brad’s adventures could use a reboot.
The magical godfathers
The magical godfathers follows the adventures of Timmy Turner with his fairy godmothers, Cosmo and Wanda. Together, they grant wishes that are possibly less than advisable and deal with the resulting consequences.
Something new fairly odd parents Of course, the movie would need to feature two of the best 2000s cartoon villains of all time, Denzel Crocker and Vicky. Has been fairly odd parents movies in the past, but it includes a live-action movie that was poorly received and some TV movies like channel hunters. A a sequel or a new movie in the same universe would be a welcome addition to the series.
Hi Arnold!
Hi Arnold! follows the adventures of elementary school student Arnold, who finds himself in a new environment with unique new friends. He also follows the weird head trend with other legendary cartoon protagonists like Phineas.
Netflix recently got the latest classic cartoon movie, Hi Arnold! the jungle movie, which was released in 2017. Many fans have been begging for a reboot ever since the movie, but a continuation of the franchise through a sequel would also be a great idea. Alternatively, a live action version of the cartoon with a larger cast could be interesting. Anyway, Hi Arnold! It deserves a sequel in some form.
Sponge Bob Square Pants
While is true that Sponge Bob Square Pants It has already received a wide variety of movies, it really is the series that keeps on giving. No Nickelodeon series is as popular as sponge Boband he deserves all the movies he can get.
the 2020 movie sponge on the run was produced by Paramount+, but it’s not out of the question that Netflix will eventually receive the rights to a new movie. The series could, in particular, use a Patrick- or Squidward-centric movie that sees SpongeBob as a supporting character. The possibilities are endless with the world of Bikini Bottom.
The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius
Jimmy Neutron it was a funny cartoon showing the glory of science and intelligence in an era when scientific characters were usually villains or supporting characters. Instead, the boy genius himself was front and center to inspire the kids.
The series has everything you need for a fantastic film adaptation. There are even some fun romance and love triangle options to explore, especially if you choose to go with older versions of the cast in high school or college. Perhaps more than any other Nickelodeon series, it would be really interesting to see the future adventures of Jimmy and his friends after they’ve had more time to learn.
Danny Phantom
Danny Phantom has one of the best premises of any Nickelodeon to show. A boy with ghost powers who fights ghosts that come through a strange ectoplasmic portal created by his parents is among the best animated TV concepts out there.
Whether it’s through Netflix or Paramount+, Danny, Sam, and Tucker should definitely return for a reboot or movie. The trio of characters still have plenty of adventures they could go on, and Danny and Sam never got much screen time as a couple. It will be interesting to see how everyone’s relationships and characters evolved over time, and what college looks like for the gang.
