The series was originally animated by ] in Toronto, but animation production moved to ] in Vancouver after C.O.R.E closed down. At that time, ] took over as Supervising Producer.

==Plot== | ==Plot== | ||
One day, after sneaking into ]'s laboratory and finding his new ], ] accidentally blasts himself into outer space when he disobeys Jimmy's warning note, "Sheen, do not push this button", and pushes the button Jimmy mentioned in his note. After soaring through the cosmos for an unspecified amount of time, Sheen eventually crashes onto a distant alien planet four trillion and one light-years away from Earth known as "Zeenu" where he meets the planet's emperor, who firmly believes Sheen is a supernatural creature that will bring joy. | |||
Much of the show is centered around Sheen fixing his rocket so he could go home, working for the Emperor as his new supreme royal adviser, and annoying an evil sorcerer named Dorkus with his antics and wild destruction. Furious that Sheen not only destroyed his home when he first arrived on the planet but also took his job from him, Dorkus and his minion Pinter scheme to destroy him but fail at every turn. | |||
After sneaking into his best friend ]'s laboratory and finding Jimmy's secret rocket ship, ] accidentally blasts himself into outer space when he disobeyed Jimmy's warning note ("Sheen, do not press this button.") and pressed the button Jimmy mentioned in his note. Four million and one light years away, Sheen crashes on Zeenu — an odd planet inhabited by aliens called Zeenunians. Soon after the crash, Sheen wants to go home, but his rocket ship was smashed when he flew into a house belonging to a Zeenunian named Dorkus, whose name Sheen ridicules for its similarity to the word "]." | |||
While on Zeenu, Sheen makes many new friends, some of which include: Doppy Doppweiler, a green ]-like creature who resembles Sheen's friend ]; Nesmith, an intelligent chimpanzee from Earth who excels in subjects such as math and engineering; the Emperor's daughter Princess Oomlout, who develops a crush on Sheen that he does not appreciate; Aseefa, a girl who becomes Sheen's crush and knows how to ]; and Chock Chock, Aseefa's pet Choctow who's regarded as the most feared and dangerous creature on Zeenu. | |||

==Production== | |||
'''Sheen Estevez''' (voiced by ]) is a dim-witted, lanky, hyperactive 13-year-old boy and the protagonist of the series. He has a very short attention span, and was about to start the sixth grade when he was launched to Zeenu. As the Royal Advisor of Zeenu's Emperor, Sheen often has to save the day by himself, unlike his role in the original series. He develops a crush on a Glemorian (Zeenu Race) warrior named Aseefa. | |||
During production of '']'', much of ] staff were pitching new titles for development for when ''Jimmy Neutron'' would eventually end. From this, Keith Alcorn and Mike Gasaway developed "Red Acres", which was set to be a CGI series about an adult astronaut who finds a planet filled with dimwitted aliens. The two (alongside Ben Gilberg) pitched the idea to ] (at their parent company ]'s headquarters in New York City), who reportedly loved the concept, yet refused to greenlight it on the stance of it breaking the network's rule of the main character not being a child. They then subsequently pitched the idea to ], ], and ], yet got rejected each time. | |||
They then redeveloped their main character so that instead of focusing on an adult, they focus on Carl and Sheen from ''Jimmy Neutron''. However, after presenting their idea, a Nickelodeon executive said that the series should focus just on Sheen. Though it was hard for the team to fully accept, they reached a compromise by introducing an alien character who resembled and acted like Carl. | |||
'''Nesmith''' (voiced by ]) is a ] from Earth who has been living on Zeenu for 48 years. He came to Zeenu as a normal chimpanzee, but after his rocket crashed in 1962, he developed advanced intelligence and the ability to speak because of the higher gravity. On Earth, he was a circus performer, along with his wife, Beverly. Mr. Nesmith is often fed-up with Sheen's antics, but tolerates him in hopes that they may be able to fix Sheen's rocket and return to Earth. He lives with Sheen in their apartment on Zeenu. His wool cap and name is in reference to ] of the 1960s pop rock group ]. His attire is similar to Steve Zissou's from the ] Film ]. He is Jimmy Neutron's counterpart of the show. He is often mistaken as a monkey. | |||
After pitching the idea to Nickelodeon Animation in LA, it was put into immediate development, with ] joining the crew to help develop the show even further.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.gasmangroup.com/blog/2015/05/30/day-275-red-acres-aka-planet-sheen/|title=Day 275 – Red Acres aka Planet Sheen|date=30 May 2015}}</ref> | |||
'''Dorkus Aurelius''' (voiced by ]) is the main antagonist of the series. He was the Emperor's #1 royal advisor. When Sheen's rocket crashlands on Dorkus' house, the Emperor takes a liking to Sheen and gives him Dorkus' position. As a result, Dorkus wants revenge on Sheen, and often tries to destroy him. Despite this, Sheen still enjoys teasing Dorkus, usually about his name and is unaware of his attempts to destroy him. It is revealed that his last name is Aurelius in the episode "Trial by Jerry" (presumably a reference to Roman emperor ]). A recurring gag is that in most of the episodes he's in his house gets destroyed somehow. He also says phrases like 'Oh, ]!' in terms of exclamation. | |||
==Broadcast== | |||
'''Pinter''' (voiced by ]) is a small, orange, eyeball-like ] with small, two-toed feet and bat-like wings. He is the minion of Dorkus. Dorkus often takes out his rage on Pinter when his evil plans fail, but Pinter still adores Dorkus nonetheless. | |||
''Planet Sheen'' premiered in the United States on ] on October 2, 2010, and continued to air there until August 18, 2011. The series was moved to ] on May 4, 2012, to air the remaining episodes until February 15, 2013. ''Planet Sheen'' continued to air reruns on Nicktoons until May 5, 2015. ] aired a sneak peek of the series on January 2, 2011, which was followed by an official premiere on January 5, 2011. On July 21, 2011, the series debuted in Australia and New Zealand on ]. ''Planet Sheen'' also aired on Nickelodeon in the ], with a sneak peek on May 2, 2011, and an official premiere aired on June 6, 2011. | |||
==Episodes== | |||
'''Emperor''' (voiced by ]) is a small, purple squid-like lump of goo who could not be happier to have Sheen Estevez on Planet Zeenu. He has 11 tentacles for a beard and eight points on his crown. In the Emperor's eyes, Sheen is the mythological bearer of peace, prosperity and joy whose arrival is foretold in the Book of Great Goodness (Zeenu's equivalent of the Bible). After watching Sheen defeat terrible beasts, the Emperor not only promotes Sheen to top advisor but also tries to get him to marry his daughter, Princess Oom. | |||
===Series overview=== | |||
'''Princess Oom''' (voiced by ]) is a purple alien and the daughter of the Emperor. She wears a futuristic yellow dress with a tutu and is much taller than her father. Oom is madly in love with Sheen and tries to seduce him with her two faces, despite the fact that Sheen is afraid of her. It is shown in one episode that she was born with only one face, and one day she sneezed too hard and another popped out. She seems to not like Aseefa, mostly because of Aseefa's scary warrior face. She most likely knows that Sheen does not like her, but she does not care. She often follows Sheen around and gives him "raffenhoffer" (a raffenhoffer is where she licks Sheen with her long tongue). | |||

'''Doppy Dopweiler''' (voiced by ]) is the Zeenunian version of Carl Wheezer, one of Sheen's friends in the ]. He resembles a green slug with Carl's face, and wears two pairs of glasses on his four eyes. Like Carl, he can be overly worried about things and can easily feel insulted. Doppy is timid and dimwitted, but quickly makes friends with Sheen. He idolizes Dorkus, who always tries to trick him into harming Sheen. He is voiced by Rob Paulsen, the same person who voices Carl Wheezer in the original series. His name could perhaps be a silly play on the word ''doppelganger,'' telling by his strong physical resemblance to Carl Wheezer, albeit this is not mentioned. | |||
{{Episode table/part|subtitle=]|c=#87A96B}} | |||
'''Aseefa''' (voiced by ]) is a brave, blue-skinned Glimmorian girl whose ponytail functions as a third arm. You know she is near when you hear her Glimmorian battle call which is actually just yodeling, which Sheen finds attractive (In the pilot, when Aseefa had left, Sheen had said " She has a monster for a pet AND she can yodel! That's my kind of girl!"). She is an adventurous tomboy and warrior. Sheen has a crush on Aseefa, but he is too nervous to tell her because of uncertainty of her feelings towards him (though she most likely feels the same for him). Aseefa somewhat replaces Libby as Sheen's love interest. Aseefa resembles Neytiri from '']''; however, this is merely a coincidence, as her character was designed before ''Avatar'' was released. She has revealed that she speaks at least 14 languages, including "Zeenunian" (almost identical to English) and "Fire Waffle." Sheen never explained why he isn't together with Libby. It is in fact hinted that Aseefa may have similar feelings for Sheen when Sheen commented in one episode that she was pretty and Aseefa became noticeably excited and asked "really?" She seemed upset when Sheen hastily replied "no" as a cover-up. | |||

The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius (2002–06) |
Planet Sheen is an American animated television series created by Keith Alcorn and Steve Oedekerk. It is a spin-off series of the Jimmy Neutron franchise, the second sequel television series of the film Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, and also a sequel to the television series The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius. The series was picked up for 26 episodes by Nickelodeon for its only season. Jeffrey Garcia returns as the voice of Sheen, and Bob Joles and Rob Paulsen are the voices of Nesmith and Doppy. The series was originally animated by C.O.R.E. in Toronto, but animation production moved to Bardel Entertainment in Vancouver after C.O.R.E closed down. At that time, Chris Neuhahn took over as Supervising Producer. Planet Sheen premiered on Nickelodeon on October 2, 2010 (along with T.U.F.F. Puppy, which premiered a half hour later) in the United States, and then aired its final episode on February 15, 2013.
Plot
One day, after sneaking into Jimmy's laboratory and finding his new rocket ship, Sheen accidentally blasts himself into outer space when he disobeys Jimmy's warning note, "Sheen, do not push this button", and pushes the button Jimmy mentioned in his note. After soaring through the cosmos for an unspecified amount of time, Sheen eventually crashes onto a distant alien planet four trillion and one light-years away from Earth known as "Zeenu" where he meets the planet's emperor, who firmly believes Sheen is a supernatural creature that will bring joy.
Much of the show is centered around Sheen fixing his rocket so he could go home, working for the Emperor as his new supreme royal adviser, and annoying an evil sorcerer named Dorkus with his antics and wild destruction. Furious that Sheen not only destroyed his home when he first arrived on the planet but also took his job from him, Dorkus and his minion Pinter scheme to destroy him but fail at every turn.
While on Zeenu, Sheen makes many new friends, some of which include: Doppy Doppweiler, a green slug-like creature who resembles Sheen's friend Carl; Nesmith, an intelligent chimpanzee from Earth who excels in subjects such as math and engineering; the Emperor's daughter Princess Oomlout, who develops a crush on Sheen that he does not appreciate; Aseefa, a girl who becomes Sheen's crush and knows how to yodel; and Chock Chock, Aseefa's pet Choctow who's regarded as the most feared and dangerous creature on Zeenu.

Production
During production of The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius, much of DNA Productions staff were pitching new titles for development for when Jimmy Neutron would eventually end. From this, Keith Alcorn and Mike Gasaway developed "Red Acres", which was set to be a CGI series about an adult astronaut who finds a planet filled with dimwitted aliens. The two (alongside Ben Gilberg) pitched the idea to Nickelodeon (at their parent company Viacom's headquarters in New York City), who reportedly loved the concept, yet refused to greenlight it on the stance of it breaking the network's rule of the main character not being a child. They then subsequently pitched the idea to Kids' WB, Cartoon Network, and Disney, yet got rejected each time.
They then redeveloped their main character so that instead of focusing on an adult, they focus on Carl and Sheen from Jimmy Neutron. However, after presenting their idea, a Nickelodeon executive said that the series should focus just on Sheen. Though it was hard for the team to fully accept, they reached a compromise by introducing an alien character who resembled and acted like Carl.
After pitching the idea to Nickelodeon Animation in LA, it was put into immediate development, with Steven Banks joining the crew to help develop the show even further.
