What do you think? Are you planning to watch The Fairly Oddparents: Fairly Odder on Paramount+?
A couple of issues here. 1, I don’t think people really remember the original live action one all that well, 2, the IP is not as beloved as it once was and 3 people are going to scoff at the production value. In the original live action movie,Wanda and Cosmo were CG, here they’re just hand-drawn animated.
There are other things that are problematics that I’m not going to bring up but maybe I’m wrong and this will be a good movie.
I bet this will top the original show!!!!!!!
