About

Quick guide

The Fairly OddParents is an animated comedy about a 10‑year‑old boy whose wishes, granted by two fairy godparents, lead to chaotic adventures.

Their well‑meaning but wildly misinterpreted magic turns everyday problems into spectacular mishaps, teaching Timmy (and viewers) that wish fulfillment can backfire in the most entertaining ways.
