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.
