For the most part, audiences have some form of suspension of disbelief when it comes to the nonsensical, logic-defying things that happen in cartoons. For instance, some characters seem absolutely invincible when it comes to taking heavy damage, and others don't age after many years of existence. Well — as for the latter of two — there was an incredibly iconic and mind-blowing moment when the classic Nickelodeon series "The Fairly OddParents" actually answered the question of why its characters never aged. In the hourlong animated special "Timmy's Secret Wish," Timmy Turner was placed on trial just as he was set to make his 1,000,000th wish after it was discovered that he made a secret wish.
Eventually, Timmy is forced to reveal that he did make a secret wish to keep everyone from aging so that he could stay 10 years old and keep his fairies forever. Timmy even had Cosmo forget that he made the wish to keep it a buried secret. What makes this reveal truly jaw-dropping, though, is when Timmy reveals that he made the wish roughly 50 years ago. It's an incredible twist on the classic trope of cartoon characters never aging that's quickly become an iconic part of the beloved series. Fans even get to see elderly versions of Timmy and other characters when his secret wish is reversed.
