Talk:A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner!/@comment-1264394-20110715183757

Dave Thomas has just officially put the "alternate canon" thing to bed.

''Hi Alpha9Delta!

Here's my short answer: It's way more fun to wonder!

And here's my long answer: That's a great question. Let's examine the evidence!

The live action movie was written by Butch and former FOP writer and co-executive producer Scott Fellows. On top of that, Butch was deeply involved in every step - from casting and hiring the crew, all the way through editing.

Furthermore, it's been suggested throughout the series that Timmy will end up with Tootie in the future.

However, what does "canon" mean? Google told me that the whole idea comes to us from the Christians. Different branches of Christianity made different choices as to which ancient Judeo-Christian texts they would recognize. For example, the Roman Catholics recognize more texts as canon than the Protestants. Hence the difference between Catholics and Protestants!

How did they decide? It was a really complicated process but in the end, it was not the people who wrote the texts, but the communities of people who read the texts who decided!

So what I'm saying is, it's not up to us. It's really up to you!''
