Tj's World: The Movie

'Tj's World: Magical Adventure! A Tj-Tastic Movie (often promoted as Tj's World: The Movie') is a 2005 American animated film based on the Nickelodeon animated television series Tj's World. It shows how the boys forget SpawnColor's birthday and decide to make it up to him, but upon arriving at the party, he breaks a wand he is about to show them with Wally the Great, his friend, and he becomes enemies with him after the incident and runs off, so the boys need to find him.

The film was announced at a Nickelodeon press release in October 2003 by TjsWorld2011, who wanted the film to be similar to the 1997 film The Wiggles Movie. The film was originally planned to be released on November 24, 2004, but was changed to March 18, 2005 in order to avoid competition with The Spongebob Squarepants Movie, another Nickelodeon film which was to be released in 2004.

The film was released on March 18, 2005, and on DVD on August 23, 2005.

Plot
The film begins as we see a magician known as "Wally The Great", preforming a magic trick in the office of Mr.Novie. Things backfire, and Wally ends up setting a chair on fire. Mr.Novie becomes furious at Wally and confiscates his wand and teleports it to 123 Tj's World. Wally then exits the building, gets on his bike and ecides to go to 123 Tj's World to find his wand.

We then see Tjdrum, Ccmater2, Agentpeddle and IronInforcer decorating the house for Peace Girl's suprise birthday party. Peace Girl soon arrives at the house, and Tj and the rest suprise Peace Girl with the party. The begin to celebrate, until Spawncolor arrives in the driveway, making Tj remember that it was also Spawncolor's birthday, and that they forgot all about it. SpawnColor enters the house, and Tj decides to come clean and tell him that they forgot about his birthday. He also states that he'll make it up to him by throwing a party for him next Saturday, promising that he will get his favorite alternative rock band, Ectoplasm Geeks, to preform at his party.

The following Saturday, Tj, Cc, Agentpeddle and IronInforcer drive to SpawnColor's house to pick him up to take him to the party. The boys drive to the park. The boys walk over to the party, when SpawnColor notices Wally's magic wand inside a garbage can, and picks it up. Wally sees SpawnColor, who happened to be an old friend of his. He asks SpawnColor to give back his wand, but he refuses as he wants to show it to his friends. After a tug-of-war fight, the wand breaks in half. SpawnColor becomes furious and says that he and Wally are no longer friends. Tj and the boys notice the fight. SpawnColor then feels remorseful of his actions to Wally, and decides to apologize to him. Wally is about to ride away, not accepting SpawnColor's apology, when SpawnColor jumps onto the other half of the seat of the bike as he and Wally argue as Wally bikes through the streets.

Tj and the boys decide to look for SpawnColor and Wally, who look for them all through town. They go onto the Highway, and notice a sign that says "Magic City: 3 Miles". They all come to a conclusion that Wally and SpawnColor must be heading to Magic City because Wally is a magician. Meanwhile, Wally decides to finally forgive SpawnColor's apology, and explains that he is heading to Magic City to compete against Maxwell The Magnificent. The boys find Wally and SpawnColor and decide to introduce themselves to Wally. Wally walks into the Mr.Novie's office, asking for a new wand, and after a short argument, Mr.Novie gives him a new wand for the competition. After the competition, the boys (along with Wally) decide to head back to 123 Tj's World to continue celebrating SpawnColor's birthday party. The film ends with the boys stating their opinions about this movie, and decide to play on their PSOne.
