Nickelodeon has tapped Drake Bell, Cheryl Hines, Jason Alexander and Steven Weber to star in a live-action TV movie version of the hit cartoon "The Fairly Oddparents".
According to TVGuide.com, Bell will play Timmy and Hines and Alexander will be his fairy godparents, Wanda and Cosmo.
Weber is set to play the villain, an oil tycoon who tries to steal Cosmo and Wanda away from Timmy.
The film, "A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up Timmy Turner!" finds an older Timmy still in the fifth grade, refusing to grow up.
"It's so much fun to see our animated characters come to life," Marjorie Cohn, president of programming at Nickelodeon, said in a statement.
"And who better to bring grown up Timmy Turner to life than Drake Bell, who himself grew up on our air and still remains one of our most popular Nick stars ever."
