Family fun? Your wish is granted!

“Abra-Catastrophe!” a full-length animated feature starring the cast of Nickelodeon’s latest big thing, “The Fairly OddParents,” stops by TV this weekend on its way not-quite-directly to video (it is available for sale Tuesday).

The series on which it expands -- now airing Saturday mornings in the coveted 10 a.m. spot formerly occupied by “SpongeBob SquarePants” -- concerns 10-year-old Timmy Turner and his colorful fairy godparents, Cosmo and Wanda; its theme is more or less that while you should be careful what you wish for, being able to get it is still pretty great.

“Abra-Catastrophe!” (tonight at 8, Sunday at 4 p.m.) concerns a magic muffin that falls serially into the wrong hands, including those of a monkey named Bippy and the power-mad teacher Mr. Crocker, whose brain has a nasty habit of popping out of his skull when he’s excited. Crocker is consumed by an existential dilemma: “In a world where magic and fairies exist, math means nothing!” Crocker says. “A fairy can make two plus two equal ... fish!”

When he and Bippy get their respective Earth-transforming wishes, dark hilarity ensues. Timmy and his winged pals must then restore the old world order.

Though not in any sense groundbreaking, “The Fairly OddParents” -- created by Butch Hartman, a veteran of “Dexter’s Laboratory” -- is still a superior example of the contemporary, pop-savvy, affectionately sardonic cult cartoon, made to appeal to both kids and adults.

For grown-ups, there’s metafiction (a joke about “non-copyright-infringing movie parodies”) and wicked truth (“I thought we agreed if Timmy asked us if we ever lied to him,” says Mr. Turner, “we’d lie to him and say we’ve never lied to him”). For small fries, there are space battles, butt scratching and monkey poo. Everything unreels at high speed and high volume.

As with almost every movie based on a TV series, this is an ordinary episode writ large and long, dressed up with special effects, extravagant set pieces and a cast of dozens. It’s an animated version of a summer blockbuster action flick; it’s probably no coincidence that it begins with takeoffs on “Star Wars,” “Spider-Man” and “Jurassic Park.”

And though the film reflects its made-for-TV budget and is paced for commercial breaks, “Abra-Catastrophe!” sustains not only its energy over 90 minutes but also its narrative thread, and it stays mostly on the right side of the fine line between stupid and clever. It even generates something you might call “suspense.” Fun for the whole family -- those not averse to monkey poo, at any rate.
