Portaling the fairies into a hyper-surreal mod reality is chaotic enough to draw intrigue as some of the more absurd aspects of the cartoon characters’ powers border on light body horror in the real world. Turning the mom into a gold statue and making Viv a giant is definitely funny but also slightly concerning. Pitting the step-siblings against each other to learn to share the powers they wield with wish-granting fairy godparents could so very easily turn into a horror film if it this was coming from A24 and not Nickelodeon.
However, this Roger Rabbit spin on the show is so wild it could work among the current wave of animation/live-action projects slated to drop onto streaming services. And the ambitious approach may draw in more than the built-in Fairly OddParents fanbase. You be the judge on March 31!
In the meantime you can revisit all 10 seasons of the original The Fairly OddParents, which are available to binge on Paramount+.
