Out of Jimmy's Head (abbreviated as OOJH), is an American live-action/animated television series. It was advertised as the first Cartoon Network's series in this genre, even though Big Bag was what took credit, while also including some animated segments. Based on the first live-action/animated original channel movie Re-Animated, that was aired on December 8, 2006, it is produced by Cartoon Network Studios and Brookwell McNamara Entertainment (the latter known for shows such as Even Stevens and That's So Raven). Finally is created by Tim McKeon and Adam Pava, who were originally the writers for Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends and The Life and Times of Juniper Lee, but also the creators of Weighty Decisions short on Cartoon Network's Sunday Pants anthology series.
The series premiered on Cartoon Network on September 14, 2007, to coincide with the release of the Re-Animated movie on DVD, and was the only network show to be affected by the 2007 Writers Guild of America strike. Then made its Canadian premiere on Teletoon on Saturday September 6, 2008. It also aired on Boomerang in Australia. The U.S. run of the show ended with the airing of the show's final episode on May 29, 2008.
The series follows the back-story established by the film. After receiving a brain transplant from a celebrated cartoonist following an accident, a young boy named Jimmy Roberts finds himself inexplicably capable of seeing and communicating with the famed animated characters created by the cartoonist, resulting in a variety of odd predicaments or situations at the hands of Jimmy's interactions with these hallucinations. However, he also must handle the deceased cartoonist's conspiring and scheming son, Sonny Appleday, with intentions of murdering Jimmy and obtaining his father's brain so he may gain notoriety as a cartoonist, and take over the world.
