The shape of the Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius Camera gives it the ability to be useful for many different and stimulating applications. It takes good pictures but I like it anyway. It accepts 35mm film.

• 

  There's a little indent where you pry up with your fingernail to open the front of the camera.

• 

  Slide the slider in the direction of the arrow and pry the back open with your fingernail (again, the fingernail) to load the film.

• 

  You turn the red ring to advance the film. You press the black dome and turn the red ring in the direction indicated to rewind the film after exposure.

• 

  The film counter window. It's tiny.

Phil Arny gave me this camera. He got it for $1.99 at a Value Village. I know that because he left the price tag on it. I put it through its paces. The camera ran smoothly, in the most exciting manner.

The small print says 2002 Viacom International, Inc and 2002 Hilton Hospitality. No information on where it was manufactured (though I can give a guess).

Like Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Great geniuses have the shortest biographies. Their cousins can tell you nothing about them.”

Trying to look like a genius, but not quite pulling it off.

GOTTA BLAST! (Jimmy’s catchphrase)
