Timothy Tiberius "Timmy" Turner (born March 21st, 1992) is the main protagonist of Nickelodeon's The Fairly OddParents franchise and one of the two titular main protagonists (alongside Jimmy Neutron) of the crossover trilogy The Jimmy Timmy Power Hour.
He is a miserable 10-year-old boy who is granted a pair of fairy godparents, Cosmo and Wanda, to help him navigate through everyday life. By season 10, he was forced to share his fairies with his neighbor, Chloe Carmichael by Jorgen Von Strangle.
He was voiced by Mary Kay Bergman in Oh Yeah Cartoons!. Since 2001, he has been voiced by Tara Strong, who also voices Dil Pickles, Poof, Bubbles, Ashi, Twilight Sparkle, Omi, Raven, Ben Tennyson, Daizy, Melody, Dannan O'Mallard, Unikitty, Molly Winks, and Angel.
His future self was voiced by Alec Baldwin, who voices Dennis from The SpongeBob Movie and Boss Baby from The Boss Baby, Adam Maitland from Beetlejuice, Mr. Conductor from Thomas and the Magic Railroad, Butch from Cats and Dogs and Nicholas St. North from Rise of the Guardians.
In live-action, he is portrayed by Drake Bell, who also portrayed Drake Parker from the movies and by Caleb Pierce from Fairly Odder.
Overview[]
He is a 10-year-old boy who lives in Dimmsdale, with his idiotic parents, who refuse to believe that his babysitter Vicky is evil until Channel Chasers, and he has fairy godparents named Cosmo and Wanda.
Even from earliest episodes, Timmy has always shown extraordinary courage and a willingness to sacrifice himself if his friends and family's lives are in danger. Power Mad, the second episode in the first episode "block", has him being very heroic after his friends were accidentally transported inside of a very dangerous video game. Timmy wound up going inside of the game to attempt to rescue them. The players, Chester, A.J., and Timmy, were given three lives; if they lost all three lives, they would disappear forever implying death. However when it looked like a monstrous Vicky Robot was about to crush Chester and A.J., after all three boys lost two of their lives, Timmy sacrificed his last life to save them. Fortunately, this action gave him enough points to get another life.
Another good example is from the Wishology special, in he sacrifices himself to protect his friends, family, and even his enemies.
Despite this, Timmy does have some rather serious flaws. He does do things that are foolish, even idiotic. That, though, may be a reflection of his impulsive nature than his actual I.Q. It has been speculated in other media that he might have Attention Deficit Disorder. There are other instances when he's pretty smart at outwitting his enemies. In addition, he can be callous and at times a jerk. To his credit, though, he is well aware of his faults, and he will do the right thing when it's necessary.
When Jorgen van Strangle declared that Timmy's chant with his fairy godparents is low, he was forced to share his fairies with Chloe Carmichael.
In Fairly Odder, Timmy gave his fairies away to his cousins when he goes away to college.
Appearance[]
Timmy wears a pink hat which matches his shirt, and has blue pants and shoes. His hair is colored brown. He has blue colored eyes and buck teeth. He, along with his friends Chester and A.J., are considered unpopular at school. One thing that remains true for Timmy throughout his life are his buck teeth. It was shown in "The Good Old Days!" that his grandfather, Pappy, allowed Timmy to suck on his pacifier too long, causing him to develop his signature buck teeth. Timmy never appears to get his teeth fixed, as he carries his even into his adult life. (Although in the movie, "Grow Up Timmy Turner", he is seen without his buck teeth.) Timmy also wears pink clothing, notably a pink hat, because his parents thought their first child was going to be a girl and bought all girl clothing, as revealed in "The Secret Origin of Denzel Crocker". Being a ten year old, Timmy has a very high and squeaky voice. According to the "77 Secrets of The Fairly OddParents Revealed!", Timmy is four feet and two inches tall, and weighs sixty pounds.
History[]
Early life[]
Before Timmy was born, they thought he was going to be a girl, so they brought him stereotypically girly things. This explains why Timmy wears a pink shirt and a pink hat. It also explains why his parents have baby photos of him in dresses.
When he was born, Mr. Turner wanted to call him "Bono", but Mrs. Turner wanted him to be "Timmy".
It is implied in "Timmy's Secret Wish!" that Timmy was put on the top of his family car when he was taken home from the hospital after his birth. However, "The "Good Old Days!"" seems to counter this as in the former episode, Timmy has buckteeth, but the latter episode implies that Timmy got his buckteeth after Pappy Turner babysat him and let Timmy suck on his pacifier for too long.
As Timmy grew older, his dad recorded everything that he did everyday, and put it all on tape so they could watch it later. When he turned 8, Timmy's parents told a lie that made Timmy get stuck with the evil babysitter Vicky. Timmy also met Vicky's sister Tootie around this time, and she took an immediate liking to him. One day after being tormented by Vicky, he threw his lucky Magic 9 ball at the wall in frustration, and Cosmo and Wanda emerged when the toy broke. The two fairies became Timmy's "fairy godparents", watching over him and granting wishes to make him less miserable.
Timmy's birthday is, in fact, the day after that of celebrity Chip Skylark.
At school[]
At school, Timmy is considered as a "loser", along with his friends, and tries to become a popular kid so he can hang with his crush, Trixie Tang, the most popular girl at school. Unfortunately, when he wishes to be cool, it results in some kind of scrape that Timmy eventually gets himself out of, nearly losing his fairies in the process. In "Movie Magic", Timmy made a real-life movie instead of entering the movie with his friends in it to the Dimmadance Film Festival, trying to win to impress Trixie. But he decided to go with the original movie to keep his friends. He failed to win Trixie over but did not give up. Even with the help of magic, Timmy Trixie's stubbornness (Some of the fans think Trixie just said that because he is still a "loser " at school).
Timmy has two best friends, Chester McBadbat and A.J., and two back-up friends: Sanjay and Elmer. Timmy and his friends are considered "unpopular kids" by the rest of the school, although Timmy, Chester, and A.J. are apparently a notch above Sanjay and Elmer. Timmy and his friends are frequently tormented by the school bully, Francis, who beats them up on sight, oftentimes in plain sight of the school faculty. Even though Francis's size and brutality hopelessly outmatch him, Timmy will still stand up to him. In "Kung Timmy" he was able to beat Francis in a fight with the help of his fairies, as kung-fu could only be used in defense, and when Francis was about to beat up Tootie for cheering on Timmy, he was easily able to save her and beat Francis so badly that Timmy's father could use his son as a threat to get Francis to clean up the mess he made at the Turner's House. Tad and Chad, the two popular boys opposite of Trixie and Veronica, also consider him unpopular as well and treat him just as badly.
Denzel Crocker is a teacher at Timmy's school who believes in fairies and follows Timmy around, trying to show the world Timmy's fairies and proving that fairies DO exist. Once with the help of a magic muffin, his instinct proved successful, but when Timmy got his fairies back, he wished that everyone had forgotten that he had fairies, so Crocker went back to being considered "Crazy Guy with a Hunchback & a low Charisma". Crocker also has a knack for giving Timmy F's, Timmy's common grade. In "The Secret Origin of Denzel Crocker", it is revealed that Timmy tried to prevent Mr. Crocker from losing his godparents (who happened to be Cosmo and Wanda as well), but in the end, just caused Crocker's insanity, instead of preventing it.
Future life: Bad/Good Future[]
In the bad future shown in "Channel Chasers", twenty years in the future Timmy will have sneaked into Future Vicky's forces after she had taken over and destroyed the world. Timmy is shown to be a powerful, skilled fighter, who easily dispatches an entire squad of Vicky's forces for her entertainment and earns her trust while in disguise. After Vicky gets her hands on future A.J.'s Time Belt, she sends Timmy, now her most trusted and skilled minion, back through time to present Dimmsdale to either retrieve young Timmy's Magic TV Remotes or perhaps even cause him harm. Future Timmy instead chases his younger counterpart through television until younger Timmy manages to capture and interrogate him. Future Timmy reveals himself and his true intent to Timmy and the viewer, and the two Timmy's team up to stop her. Although Vicky eventually damages Future Timmy's time belt, causing him to fade back into the future, younger Timmy succeeds into stopping Vicky and retrieving both TV remotes, thereby denying Vicky her power and changing Future Timmy's timeline for the better.
After the timeline is restored, a vision of the new good future appears. 30-year-old Timmy is shown to have had two children, Tommy and Tammy, and will reside in the same house he did as a child. His spouse is unrevealed, but the children were given characteristics of both Tootie and Trixie Tang, his most common love interests in the show, to leave Timmy's romantic struggles open for future episode plots. He is shown glancing at a photograph he took with Cosmo and Wanda, but they are replaced with real goldfish, and he does not recall anything in particular about them. Cosmo and Wanda are shown to still live with Timmy, who is shown making the same neglectful mistakes as his parents had made, such as leaving his kids with an evil babysitter (who was a Vicky Bot 9000).
Heroic acts[]
In "Channel Chasers", Timmy Turner managed to stop Vicky from taking over the world, found 3 wands while avoiding the Eliminators and stopped the Destructinator from launching weapons into the Darkness and he fixed Chloe Carmichael's inner-child when she was making wishes in her sleep, helped Jimmy Neutron save Retroville from Professor Calamitous who had Jorgen under his control but, with Jimmy Neutron's help, Jorgen was free. He has various other heroic acts such as stopping Mr. Crockers reign in "Abra-Catastrophe!", helping stop Shirley's omnicidal goals, and stopping Dark Laser from destroying Earth.
Trivia[]
- In the live-action continuity (where he's 23 years old), Timmy is the only person to keep his fairies for a long time.
- It has been debatable in the fandom as to whether Timmy ends up with Tootie or Trixie.
- In "Channel Chasers", Timmy has two kids that shares the same characteristics as Tootie and Trixie.
- The live-action adaption implies that Tootie is the person who Timmy ends up with, though the creators were unable to give a solid answer as to why Trixie wasn't seen or mentioned at all in the film.
- Since Timmy was born in 1992, the series took place from 2002-2003, and the live-action movie took place from 2015-2016.
- Timmy was originally supposed to have a blue hat, but Butch Hartman's blue marker ran out, so he grabbed the next color, which was pink, and it stuck.
- In-universe, his parents were expecting a girl (having been too poor at the time to get ultrasounds to check his gender) and had bought a literal moving truck worth of girl stuff. This included the hat.
- Timmy's reaction to the above situation implies he doesn't like wearing his hat and only does so to make his parents happy.
- Timmy was also going to be a redhead but Butch Hartman didn't want audiences to mistake Timmy and Vicky as siblings.
- In the "Secret Wish" special, Timmy is revealed to have actually been chronologically 60 years old by that point; having wished for aging to cease on Earth and have no one question it, erasing Cosmo's memory of granting said wish with another.
- Timmy did ultimately reset things to normal, after saving the world from being doomed by the fairies' moronic idea of fast-forwarding everyone on Earth to ages that matched the years they missed; in short, the humans race would have died off as there were no births during the fast-forward and the world was only full of old people.
- It's possible he made said wish during the events of "Channel Chasers" as he was shocked to meet his older self. This is also the episode where he learns that he'll eventually lose his godparents one day, which supports the theory.
- He is named after Butch's younger brother, Timmy Hartman.
- There's a character in Fairly OddParents: A New Wish that resembles Timmy, specifically his adult form from the episode "The Big Problem!", leading to some fans to believe that this was him in the present-day (as the show takes place after the original series). However. it was confirmed by the writers of the show that this was a completely different character.
