Jimmy & Sam Revisited

Jimmy & Sam Revisited is a 2010 American 3D computer-animated science fantasy action-comedy film produced by Supreme Entertainment for Paramount Pictures. The third feature film from Supreme, it is the sequel to 2006's Jimmy & Sam 3000, with most of the original cast reprising their roles, except Mitchel Musso and Connor Price, who were replaced by Zachary Gordon and Frankie Jonas, respectively. It was also the first Storyline film to be presented in 3D. Sometime after the first film, Jimmy Parker (Gordon), Sam Parker (Ashley Johnson), and Ben Godines (Moisés Arias) retrieve a scientific treasure from the island Abeacan, and later return to the island to visit C.J. Hollister (Jonas), whose family is spending a holiday there. Eventually, they discover that Ophelia Trincheri (Vanessa Marshall), a nemesis to the siblings who lost her chance to retrieve the treasure herself, is plotting to take it back so she can use it to regain her former co-workers' attention and assume control over the entirety of her own species; thus, the kids team up to stop her.

Jimmy & Sam Revisited was released on December 22, 2010, and received positive reviews from critics, who praised its animation, score, and direction; it is considered by many to be an improvement over its predecessor. It went on to earn over $451 million worldwide on a budget of $68 million. It was later released on DVD and Blu-ray on March 29, 2011.

Production
Talks of a sequel to Jimmy & Sam 3000 began around a month after the film's opening in December 2006. Supreme officially announced the sequel in a press release in late 2008, shortly after production of their second feature film Twist City wrapped up. The film was developed under the title of Jimmy & Sam 3000 2 and then The Return of Jimmy & Sam 3000. By September 2009, it had been retitled to Jimmy & Sam Revisited.

Post Production
Skywalker Sound's workers, Gary Rydstrom and Randy Thom, the sound designers of the film, used a combination of sound approaches. Some of the sound effects are cartoony while others tend to be more realistic.
