Good Wilt Hunting is the second Made-for-TV Movie for the series Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, released at the end of the fourth season. It premiered November 23, 2006.It's the annual Five-year Reunion at Foster's, where the imaginary friends get to see their creators again once every five years. While Mac and Bloo meet many of the creators of the friends, they wonder who Wilt's creator was. After asking Wilt a number of questions about his creator, he gets nervous and runs inside. The night of the reunion, Wilt decides to leave the house, and explains to Bloo (who followed him downstairs) that he did something terrible and needs to fix things up. Bloo (who thought that by "something terrible" meant that Wilt was a criminal) ended up telling everyone in the house the next morning, with Frankie deciding to try to find him. Coming with Frankie are Mac, Bloo, Eduardo, Officer Nina Valerosa (Eduardo's creator), Coco, and Douglas and Adam (Coco's...discoverers).Along the way, Wilt ends up helping other people with their issues, while finding out more about himself. In this movie, we find out about his backstory. Wilt was once the imaginary friend of all-star basketball player Jordan Micheals, but after losing an important game to him, he ran away. The game also caused his injuries, with a basketball bouncing onto his eye and his arm being crushed (and most likely amputated).It's pretty much what happens if Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends met Follow that Bird. The movie was a success, and was nominated for an Emmy (however, it lost to Where's Lazlo?)Not to be confused with Good Will Hunting | |

Dudley Do-Right Stops to Help: On his way to find his creator, Wilt stops to return a lost imaginary friend to her owner, help a farmer bale his hay, mow the lawns of the people in the neighborhood he passes by, and help some movers load furniture into a moving truck (the last of which gets him arrested, as unknown to him, those movers were criminals and the furniture was stolen). This results in his friends from Foster's losing track of him when they follow him. | |

Awesomeness by Analysis: Mac is able to figure out the identity of Wilt’s creator by looking at photos of Wilt playing basketball and noticing that he always sticks his tongue out when shooting baskets, and as Mac and the rest of the group explain later, only one pro basketball player does that; Jordan Michaels. | |

Laser-Guided Karma | |
Good Wilt Hunting / int_90e31482 | comment |
Laser-Guided Karma: Foul Larry, but not in an immediately visible way. He cost Wilt an arm and eye and caused him to abandon Jordan in shame. By the movie's end, there's no apology- Larry just suddenly adopts a disgustingly sweet puppy dog-ish behavior and ends up at Foster's. However, Larry's own creator is nowhere to be seen in the present, having seemingly abandoned him; implying that while Larry won the basketball game, he was left all alone & lived with nobody to appreciate him. | |

My Greatest Second Chance | |
Good Wilt Hunting / int_b4696332 | comment |
My Greatest Second Chance: The final game at the end provides 2 examples. Wilt challenges Foul Larry to a rematch to prove that he can beat him. Subverted in that he ultimately still loses. At the end of the game from 30 years ago, Jordan was almost hurt by Larry because he was too focused on the game, and Wilt was injured as a result. This time Wilt gets too focused on the game and unknowingly endangers himself to getting crushed by Foul Larry's slam. Jordan pulls him to safety at the last moment. | |

Shout-Out | |
Good Wilt Hunting / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The two nerds who found Coco and brought her to Fosters' are named Douglas and Adam, after Douglas Adams. Astro Slam (which was a shoehorned in Early-Bird Cameo promo for the then upcoming, Re-Animated which lead to Out of Jimmy's Head). And, you know, Good Will Hunting. Douglas and Adam appear to be grown-up versions of Dexter and Mandark from Dexter's Laboratory. Wilt riding a lawnmower might be one to The Straight Story. Adam's voice is a parody of Comic Book Guy's. | |
