Grand Opening was a silent, standalone animated short film released in 2021 on YouTube by Ivan Idea. Visibly created using The Sims, the short film told a short, necessarily-NSFW story about the opening of a nudist resort. In addition to a staggering number of cameos by unauthorised characters from various universes in the final, titular grand opening scene, it prominently featured Jenny Everywhere and Jenny Anywhere, becoming notable as the latter's first appearance in a video context.

Brad Mason and his wife Julie are trying to open a new naturist resort, but despite attempts at online advertising, their grand opening day is a disappointment with only a single guest showing up. The next day, on a walk in a nearby park, Brad commiserates with two of his friends, none other than “Jenny E.” and “Jenny A.”. The two tell him that they'd surely have dropped by if they'd been in town, as they both have experience with nudism already; the three agree to meet up again at the resort itself a few hours later. There, the trio brainstorm ideas for a second, more successful grand opening, and the Jennies agree to bring the Masons some of the friends they've made over the course of their travels as guests. To the Masons' surprise and delight, those friends, showing up the next day for the “second grand opening,” add up to dozens upon dozens of strange individuals, from vampires to superheroes, who begin to enjoy the resort's various facilities together.
