The Prodigies is a 2011 animated science fiction action thriller film based on La Nuit des enfants rois, a novel written by French writer Bernard Lenteric.

To save the game and locate more gifted individuals, Jimbo proposes the idea of a televised competition called American Genius.

Jimbo arrives too late to prevent the attack, but the pain Liza experiences is telepathically extended to the others, and they use their abilities to defeat the assailants.

In the meantime, the teenagers infiltrate the foundation's archives and find video recordings of Jimbo discussing his isolation and plans to bring gifted individuals together for revenge.

Inspired by Jimbo's words, Gil, Sammy, Lee, and Harry decide to avenge themselves and kill Liza's attackers, as well as the officer who covered up the crime and his wife.

Gil launches a nuclear attack on Killian University, but Sammy raises the possibility that Ann's unborn child may also possess supernatural abilities, saving her life.

Months later, the whereabouts of Liza, Harry, Sammy, Lee, and Gil remain unknown, while Ann, still pregnant, is left with the legacy of Jimbo's message and the ongoing search for gifted individuals.

[5] Linda Barnard of Toronto Star wrote that the film was "too violent for youngsters and so poorly written it won't engage an older audience, it seems to be targeted towards youthful nerds nursing overwhelming revenge fantasies."

In contrast, Sarah Gopaul of Digital Journal gave the film a positive review, stating, "The Prodigies delivers a noteworthy new approach to the “teens with super powers” genre that is worth the big screen treatment.
