Tj's World

''This article is about the TV show. You may be looking for the video game''.

Tj's World is an American animated television series created by TjsWorld2011 and Ntpockets. The show first premiered on Nickelodeon on June 12, 1999. It is TjsWorld2011's second series after PuffRuff School.

TjsWorld2011 first conceived the show in late 1993 with his idea of "building a whole world" around his two characters, Tjdrum and Ccmater, early versions of the main characters. However, in 1995, changes were made to both characters, and he soon made more characters in the universe. The characters first appeared on the ''Oh Yeah! Cartoons'' show on Nickelodeon in August 1998. The cartoons were adapted into a half-hour television series in June 1999.

The success of the show's premiere helped a spin-off series get made, titled Tj's World Kids, which premiered in 2002 finished its run in 2005, as well as three feature films, Tj's World: Magical Adventure! A Tj-Tastic Movie, Tj's World: Across The 2nd Dimension and Tj's World: Modem Mayhem, which were released from 2005 to 2013.

The series is currently rated TV-PG in the United States and its targeted age group is 7-15 year old boys.

Development
The show was first concieved by TjsWorld2011, then a student at Collingtoons, in the office of Ntpockets in 1993. The idea hit him after he came up with two characters, Tjdrum and Ccmater. They didn't look exactly like how they look today. But when the year 1995 came, a few changes were made to both characters. Soon after, TjsWorld2011 had come up with more characters, including Agentpeddle, IronInforcer, Peace Girl, SpawnColor and more.

Tj's World first appeared on August 16, 1998 on the ''Oh Yeah! Cartoons'' show. That year, TjsWorld2011 submitted an email to the producers at his company, TjsWorld2011 Entertainment that they were working on a full version of the cartoon, and that they were trying to find a company to produce it. In 1999, Klasky Csupo and TjsWorld2011 Entertianment adapted Tj's World into a half-hour television series on Nickelodeon. The series was originally set to premiere in March of 1999 with the pilot they showed to Nickelodeon earlier that year, "Tj Reveals A Secret", but the episode was declined to be used by Nickelodeon (until it was finally preserved on the season 1 DVD in 2001). The producers of the show then decided to "go ahead" and air another first episode, "Pilot" on June 12, 1999.

Premise
Tjdrum moves out of Atlanta, Georgia to 123 Tj's World, Florida with Ccmater2 and his sister Peace Girl to live on his own after an argument with his parents in order to show them he can do so. But their life there is occasionally interrupted by attacks from villains such as Santed Sailor, Tj's evil counterpart Jtmurd and others, so Tj and Cc must occasionally team up with Agentpeddle and sometimes IronInforcer to stop their plans. And all this happens during their daily life.

Films


Paramount Pictures, Nickelodeon Movies and TjsWorld2011 Entertainment produced Tj's World: Magical Adventure! A Tj-Tastic Movie, a feature film based on the series. It shows how the boys forget SpawnColor's birthday and decide to make it up for him, but upon arriving at the party, SpawnColor's friend Wally the Great, who has entered a magic competition without a wand steals SpawnColor's prop wand, mistaking it wor a real magic wand. SpawnColor catches him, and they end up breaking the wand, causing them to part both ways from the party, so the boys must bring SpawnColor back to the party and Wally to the competition with a wand. As cited in the credits, "original story by Greg Truman", the plot is based off of the 1997 film The Wiggles Movie. The film was released on March 18, 2005.

A sequel to the film, Tj's World: Across The 2nd Dimension, was released on July 4, 2007. In the film, Tjdrum, Ccmater2 and Agentpeddle find refuge from an aftershock in a dimension different from theirs with the help of Santed Sailor, who later ditches them and meets his counterpart, Santed Sailor 2. His counterpart then goes on to take revenge on Tj and the Resistance (Tj and his friends' counterparts) who infiltrate his headquarters, later taking the battle to their dimension, staging a confrontation in 123 Tj's World. It was the first film to be produced by Tj's production company under the TjsWorld2011 Pictures name.

In October 2007, TjsWorld2011 confirmed that TjsWorld2011 Pictures was planning a reboot of the series, titled Tj's World, set for release in 2014, but it was cancelled in August 2012 because the film had a similar plot to Hey Arnold! The Movie, yet another Nickelodeon film. However, it was announced that they were planning a third Tj's World film, which was later titled Tj's World: Modem Mayhem.

The film centers around how Tjdrum and Ccmater2 get sucked into the internet, therefore meeting MJ and Kirby, but one of the Internet's most recognized prisoners, Geek Guy, steals Tj's hat to complete a chip that can call an army, and he escapes into the real world to destroy 123 Tj's World, so Tj and Cc need to stop him. The film was originally scheduled to be released on May 17, 2013 but was changed to June 5, 2013 to avoid competition with Star Trek Into Darkness, another Paramount film, and finally released on June 26, 2013.
