Danny Phantom 10 Years Later- Part 1

Danny Phantom 10 Years Later- Part 2

Butch Hartman (creator of Danny Phantom, Fairly Odd Parents, etc...) has a youtube channel and it is fantastic. Recently he has been discussing a lot of Danny Phantom and has hinted quite a lot that if given the chance he'd love to bring back Danny Phantom.

As a nice little treat he did 'Danny Phantom 10 years later' videos where he goes over the original design and why he went with it, and then did a couple of sketches of a version of the character 10 years later and where he'd see them. Just released part 2 last month.

Essentially if given the chance to bring back the show he'd do it where all of the good characters are a 'Team Danny' type of deal.

Here are the main trio designs

And for reference sake here's a fan doing it in an artstyle closer to the show

Here are the rest (family members, Vlad and Danni Phantom)

(Jazz, the sister, acting as an Oracle-like character)

(Jack, the dad)

(Maddie, the mom in her best Mad Max outfit)

(Vlad, the main bad guy)

(Dani Phantom, the female clone from the first show)

What are your thoughts on the designs? Would you love to see the show come back?

Personally the main trio, Jazz and Dani look great but I'm not crazy about the adults. I could take them or leave them with a few changes.

Btw, he goes through some of Jazz' looks without the full suit. Like her grown up with long hair, short hair, etc... so check the video if you're interested. His channel is great, he also has anime characters in the style of Fairly Oddparents.

Can we get a Samurai Jack-esque revival (maybe not as mature, but still)?

 

[Maximo]

I would watch it....

 

[AlexFlame116]

Maddie looks...different.

I think Danny Phantom was the last cartoon show I watched as a kid before I entered middle school and stopped watching cartoons until I graduated high school.

I appreciated that the show had a lot of similarities to classic Spider-Man. It was a coming of age story that could both be serious and funny. I recall the 3rd season diving off a cliff and being garbage, though. Don't know if I'd bother watching a revival. Honestly, this and Fairly Odd Parents are the only Butch Hartman shows I ever liked and both went to shit after a few seasons.

I'm rewatching it right now (whole show is up on Hulu alongside many other nick shows) and yeah the Spiderman thing is something I completely ignored as a kid.

The only difference being that the hot red head is his sister vs the love interest. Besides that though. Geeky kid, bullied by a jock, gets superpowers, a lot of high school drama. It's great.

Few episodes ago was the Ember episode. Completely forgot how god damn catchy her song is.

EMBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER, YOU WILL REMEMBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER.

edit: as to fairly oddparents going to shit, I think he has completely given up on the show at this point and probably just lets the team do what they want.

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

That Vlad is awesome.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Tucker was Jamaican?

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Tucker was Jamaican?

In the video he says he simply went for a Jamaican style combining his original character's colors into the hat. But that considering he could have opted to get dreads as well while in college.

 

[kewlmyc]

Didn't this show end with Tucker becoming mayor of the city at like 15 years old?

 

[Astral Dog]

I was just remembering this show with the evil versions of characters thread. Future Danny was quite a bastard

Here is the whole song if you didn't hear it complete
And a few classics up there

lmao that I don't remember. I guess I'll find out when I finish with the seasons on Hulu.

 

[Defuser]

I'm ok with the trio but not Jazz,Maddie and Jack.

 

[Bronx-Man]

Also I love that one concept of Vlad into basically Ozymandias.

 

[LycanXIII]

Don't like the ripped Danny, but the fan version of it is okay.

 

[Fj0823]

Hartman comes off like a really fun and creative guy in these.

It must hurt seeing many of his shows going to shit.

 

[Puck Beaverton]

Sam bae

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Don't like the ripped Danny, but the fan version of it is okay.

His argument for the ripped Danny was that years of exercising and fighting phantoms eventually gave him a more fit look. In all likelyhood without more weight training chances are it'd just be lean muscle, but he can always say Danny did weights as well if he absolutely wanted a ripped version of him.

Hartman comes off like a really fun and creative guy in these.

It must hurt seeing many of his shows going to shit.

It does, but clearly his fans love him and he has enough clout considering the popularity of two of his biggest shows. I hope his hints end up coming fruitful and he can make his Danny Phantom revival. Particularly with Samurai Jack coming back, maybe Nick wants in on that nostalgia.

I am quite surprised that's his personal art style.

But then if he drew the same as the style of the show after all these years, that would be pretty shocking.

he did a video of anime characters in fairly odd parents style that looks closer to his tv shows art style

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nljYRAOLtJc

So I'm sure he was trying to draw the danny phantom characters in a more gritty style.

Was going to post this, the man has range.

 

[Double Donut]

Danny Phantom was one of my absolutely favorite shows as a kid. I would watch a sequel series in a heartbeat.

Always loved the little jingles that intro'd every episode along with the title cards.

 

[Mortemis]

I loved Danny Phantom and holy shit how did I never make the connection between it and spider man

To be fair it seems like outside of the initial concept having similarities it doesn't do much more than that. But funny enough, in Spectacular Spiderman Peter has an interest on the sexy latina cool kid cheerleader which is funny considering Paulina in here.

 

[LaNaranja]

The show wore its Marvel influence on its sleeve. They straight up had the Infinity Stones/Gauntlet in one of the movies.

 

[Permanently A]

I love Danny Phantom. His rogues gallery was absolutely fantastic.

AND THIS MOTHERFUCKER

Male Cartoon Stars are too buff these days.

I gotta admit. Even for a kid's cartoon, Evil future Danny's backstory is fan-fucking-tastic.

 

[Mortemis]

y'all making me wanna rewatch Danny Phantom

so it's on hulu? gonna check if it's on netflix

 

[Admiral Woofington]

Box Ghost's backstory is probably the best. He is a ghost who is focused on boxes.

Hulu has most Nick shows. Doubt Netflix has it. You could probably get a free trial of the ad free hulu and watch it in your medium of choice.

Right??? Preteen me was blown away.

 

[Caddywompus]

This show was always a good concept, the execution just fell apart in the later seasons.

A reboot would probably suit this franchise better than a time skip.

 

[Opto]

The only thing I really remember is that Vlad was constantly frustrated he couldn't own the Green Bay Packers

Isn't that mostly due to Hartman being born again and coming to back to fuck with the show wen he was pretty hands off?

Also I agree.

 

[DominoKid]

BRING IT BACK

 

[Caddywompus]

Isn't that mostly due to Hartman being born again and coming to back to fuck with the show wen he was pretty hands off?

Also I agree.

Usually it's the creator leaving that ruins a show, but if he's reason the show dropped off I'm not sure how much of his involvement is welcomed.

 

[Bronx-Man]

People are just now seeing the Marvel influences? Even at 8 I knew it was pretty much Spider-Man + Ghostbusters. Still an awesome, awesome cartoon tho.

 

[TheSkullPrince]

I remember this came out while I was in high school and I still watched the fuck out of it. A shame it only lasted about 50 episodes.

You know, I think it was the same for me

Whoops. Wrong thread.

I died at that last anime.

Yeah, I'll take one retcon of this, please and thanks.

 

[bman94]

Fuck. Didn't realize how much I want a Danny Phantom sequel till now. I wasn't even a huge fan of the show but I fucks heavily with the 10 years later angle.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

I died at that last anime.

Cory in the houses live action setting doesn't do its original Japanese Anime justice

Yeah, I'll take one retcon of this, please and thanks.

In the 10 years later videos he is also taking fan feedback on the designs. I think he's more interested in the time skip series over a reboot. But who knows, this is all just dreaming.
