Created by Adam Pava and Tim McKeon to serve as Cartoon Network's first foray into live-action programming, Re-Animated is a 2006 live-action/animated comedy Made-for-TV Movie that serves as the pilot for Out of Jimmy's Head.During a class trip to Gollyworld, after being coerced by both the popular kids and his clout-chasing best friend, put-upon middle schooler Jimmy Roberts (Dominic James) finds himself searching one of the attractions for the frozen brain of deceased animator Milt Appleday. When his half-hearted search has him encounter Sonny Appleday (Matt Knudsen), Milt's middle-aged son who is searching for the brain himself for some nefarious goal, Jimmy quickly flees and is hit by an amusement park train in the process. At an on-premises hospital, the doctors realize that the child requires an emergency brain transplant and, naturally, the only brain available is the one from the very much true urban legend. Jimmy survives the operation with his personality and memories intact, but he soon discovers he can now see all of Appleday's characters in real life.Now badgered by Appleday's most famous creations — namely the egotistical Golly Gopher (Paul Reubens), his kind girlfriend Dolly Gopher (Ellen Greene), the show-witted Crocco the Alligator (Brian Posehn), stand-up comedian Tux the Penguin (Tom Kenny), and the silently violent Pickles and Prickles — Jimmy struggles to navigate his new life between Sonny's schemes to steal his brain and Golly's plans to reclaim his greatness by having Jimmy become head of the animation studio. | |

Re-Animated / int_149f7447 | comment |
Rescue Romance: Happens twice, with both being examples of Chained to a Railway. The first time is with Golly and Dolly, shown in a cartoon at the beginning of the film, which is later echoed during the film's climax with Jimmy and Robin. | |

Artistic License – Biology | |
Re-Animated / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology: Even ignoring the idea that a brain transplant is even possible, the brain surgery is done within hours and without even cutting Jimmy's hair. On top of that, considering it's someone else's brain entirely, not even transplanting Jimmy's "personality gland" would make him the same person he was before. | |

Tie-In Cereal: Invoked. To showcase Jimmy's dad as a Manchild, he is introduced watching a Golly Gopher cartoon while eating Golly Gopher-branded cereal called "Sugar Cube Crunchems". As the name would imply, the cereal is basically just a bowl of sugar-cubes that he pours a whole bag of sugar onto. | |

Broken Aesop: Jimmy is portrayed as being selfish and unfaithful to his friends when he spends more time concerned with his new cartooning career than with Craig. All well and good, but nobody seemed to care that (similarly to Golly) Craig was pretty much treating Jimmy like dirt throughout the story for his own ends, constantly using him as a lackey so he could get in with the popular kids. | |

Tertiary Sexual Characteristics: Lampshaded. When first meeting the group, Jimmy (who isn't really a fan of cartoons), questions why there are two Gollys. Golly is offended and claims his and his girlfriend look nothing alike, while Crocco stage whispers that the only way he can tell the duo apart himself is the bow. | |

Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Sonny. He was seen as a screw-up by his father, pushed around by his coworkers and despite his attempts to carry on his father's legacy, he was seen as a failure and a joke for his initial (admittedly bad) attempt. It's hard to blame him for losing his mind the way he did. | |
