	Movies - Crash Nebula

Crash Nebula is Timmy Turner's favorite TV show on The Fairly OddParents. Oddparents creator Butch Hartman had attempted to create Crash Nebula as a spin-off animated series. A thirty-minute pilot was created, which aired on July 2, 2004.

The pilot chronicled Sprig Speevak. He attended the Celestial Academy, a school where kids all over the universe learn to become space heroes. Sprig deals with the same problems all high school students go through (girls, bullies, popular kids, teachers, etc.) in sci-fi style. The show tells about Crash Nebula before he became a space hero.

Characters

Sprig Speevak a.k.a Crash Nebula: Sprig was just a normal earthling until one day he was sent to the "Space Celestial Academy". There he must survive space school, earn the crash suit, and become: "Crash Nebula; Space Hero"!

Dif: An alien that Sprig met in the Celestial Academy, he's just one big blob with a big heart. He immediately became friends with Sprig.

Chuck: Another alien Sprig met in the Academy, Chuck's a turkey, but he's not just any turkey. Upset him, and he'll get his missiles out. So don't mess with Chuck... especially about treating turkeys in a "harmful" way.

Sprout Speevak: Sprig's annoying, bratty sister. Her and Sprig don't get along very well... not very well at all.

Ving: The big bad bully at the Academy, he became Sprig's enemy right away. Ving wears a black cape and has pointed ears, making him look like a vampire. Ving is jealous of Sprig because he saved Princess Galaxandra and became her favorite student. Ving has the power to turn into a huge giant and do some massive damage.

Felos: One of Ving's pals. He's a big blue cat with black stripes and some huge claws. He can give you quite a scratch with those claws, but he's easily distracted. So if you're Felos's enemy be sure to have a ball of yarn handy.

Rockwell: Him, Felos, and Ving are the destructive trio, Rockwell is the strong one, but his weakness is his brain and he has no ears.

Ani: a girl from an anti-matter universe. At first, she didn't like Sprig. After he saved her life, she begins to warm up to him. Ving claims that she's his soon-to-be girlfriend, but Ani wouldn't date him even if he were the last guy in the universe.

Pam Dromeda: The toughest teacher in the CA. She teaches Galactic Defense 101. Princess Galaxandra assigned her to tutor Sprig on the Nebula Suit 5000.

Princess Galaxandra: The Headmistress of the Celestial Academy. Sprig saved her life when she was being chased by little buglike androids (bugdroids). She shows her gratitude by having Sprig enroll in the Celestial Academy. She sees true greatness in Sprig.

Trivia

An easter egg is shown is when Sprig is looking at his comic. Danny Phantom is shown on the back of the comic, and a caption says, "Coming Soon". The episode was made before the premiere of the series. However,the show appeared April 2004.
In an episode of Danny Phantom, Danny is at a movie thearter when a ghost attacks. In the back ground is an arcade game that features Crash Nebula on the side.
The part when Sprig pauses the film to talk is similar to a show in Teletoon.

Delays & Cancelation

Only one episode of the animated television series was done, and segments of Timmy watching the show were animated and edited in to extend the length to 30-minutes. In these animated segments, Cosmo and Wanda try to guess what the episode is about, causing Timmy to miss portions of the episode. When they finally answer, it is the end of the episode, and Timmy had missed the whole thing.

After a long while of speculation, Butch Hartman confirmed on January 24, 2006 that the whole project was called off and that the series was not going to be made. He does, though, intend to "keep trying", and the concept may come back someday.

The concept was also written as a movie script and pitched to Paramount Pictures as a feature film. It would have been entitled Crash Nebula: The Movie. However, it was rejected, as there were too many similarities to Sky High
, a movie already being put out by Disney.
