'''''Danny Phantom''''' is an [[United States|American]] animated television series created by [[Butch Hartman]] for [[Nickelodeon]], produced by [[Billionfold Studios]]. It was distributed by [[Nelvana]], a [[Canada|Canadian]] animation company, as was ''[[The Fairly OddParents]]''.


The show is about a 14-year-old named Danny Fenton who, after an accident with an unpredictable portal between the human world and the supernatural "Ghost Zone", becomes half-ghost and frequently saves his town and the world from ghost attacks, while attempting to keep his ghost half a secret from everyone, except his best friends Tucker Foley and Samantha (Sam) Manson.
'''''Danny Phantom''''' is an American [[Animated series|animated]] [[paranormal]] [[superhero fiction|superhero]] [[Action fiction|action]] [[Adventure fiction|adventure]] television series created by [[Butch Hartman]] for [[Nickelodeon]]. The series premiered on April 3, 2004, immediately after the [[2004 Kids' Choice Awards]], and ended on August 24, 2007. The series follows Danny Fenton, a teenage boy who, after an accident with an unpredictable portal between the human world and the "Ghost Zone", becomes a human-[[ghost]] hybrid and takes on the task of saving his town (and the world) from subsequent ghost attacks using an evolving variety of supernatural powers. Danny is aided in his quest by his two best friends, Sam Manson and Tucker Foley, and later by his older sister Jazz, who for most of the series' run are among the only people who know of his [[Alter ego|double life]].<ref>{{cite book |last1=Perlmutter |first1=David |title=The Encyclopedia of American Animated Television Shows |date=2018 |publisher=Rowman & Littlefield |isbn=978-1538103739 |pages=144–145}}</ref>


Throughout its run, ''Danny Phantom'' received five [[Annie Award]] nominations and positive reviews.<ref>{{Citation|title=Danny Phantom|url=https://www.metacritic.com/tv/danny-phantom|access-date=2021-04-30}}</ref> In recent years, the series, particularly its first two seasons, has received renewed attention and critical acclaim from critics and audiences, being considered by many as Hartman's best work.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2017-03-08|title=Cult Corner: 'Danny Phantom' Was a Nicktoon Too Ahead of Its Time|url=https://decider.com/2017/03/08/cult-corner-danny-phantom/|access-date=2021-04-30|website=Decider|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=2017-02-25|title=Danny Phantom: 15 Best Episodes Of The Nickelodeon Cartoon|url=https://www.cbr.com/best-danny-phantom-episodes/|access-date=2021-04-30|website=CBR|language=en-US}}</ref> Additionally, ''Danny Phantom'' has spawned video games, home video releases, toys, and various other merchandise.

''Danny Phantom'' centers on the life and adventures of 14-year-old Danny Fenton, an unpopular but good-natured boy attending [[Casper the Friendly Ghost|Casper]] High School in the small town of [[Amityville Horror|Amity]] Park. He lives with his eccentric ghost-hunting parents, Maddie and Jack, and an overbearing 16-year-old sister, Jazz (short for Jasmine). Upon pressure from his best friends, Sam and Tucker, he decides to explore the Ghost Portal that his parents had created in a failed attempt to bridge the real world and the Ghost Zone (the ghostly parallel universe of Earth). Once inside, Danny accidentally presses the "On" button (which his naïve parents failed to do), activating the portal, which infuses his [[DNA]] with [[Ectoplasm (paranormal)|ectoplasm]], transforming him into a half-ghost boy.<ref name="Memory Blank">{{cite episode |title=Memory Blank.

Daniel "Danny" Fenton, a 14-year-old boy living in the small town of Amity Park, lives with his [[ghost hunting]] eccentric parents, Jack and Madeline "Maddie", and his overprotective but caring 16-year-old sister, Jasmine "Jazz". Upon pressure from his two best friends, Samantha "Sam" Manson and Tucker Foley, Danny decides to explore the Ghost Portal created by his parents in their attempt to bridge the human world and the Ghost Zone (the parallel universe in which ghosts reside), that when plugged in, failed to work. Once inside, he inadvertently presses the "On" button (which his parents naively failed to do), thus activating the Portal and infusing his DNA with [[Ectoplasm (paranormal)|ectoplasm]], transforming him into a half-ghost.<ref name="Memory Blank">{{cite episode |title=Memory Blank.

Danny, who calls himself 'Danny Phantom' in ghost form, quickly develops the ability to fly and become invisible or intangible. Over time he learns other powers such as his ghost ray, ghostly wail and [[cryokinesis]]. Danny initially is frightened by his new powers and has little control over them, but he soon learns to use them to protect his town from malevolent ghosts. After the defeat of a Lunch Lady Ghost in the first episode, Danny turns to the life of a [[superhero]], using his powers to rid his hometown from the various ghosts that plague it.<ref name="Mystery Meat">{{cite episode |title=Mystery Meat. Director: Butch Hartman; Writer: Butch Hartman, Mark Banner, Steve Marmel. |series=Danny Phantom |serieslink=Danny Phantom | network=[[Nickelodeon]] |airdate=2004-04-03 |season=1 |number=01}}</ref> Danny's best friends, technophile meat-loving Tucker Foley and goth-minded ultra-recyclo vegetarian Samantha (Sam) Manson, as well as his overbearing yet loving sister Jasmine (Jazz) Fenton, support Danny and help him with his ghost fighting.
Danny, who calls himself "Danny Phantom" in ghost form, develops the ability to fly, become invisible, intangible, and "overshadow" (possess and control) people after first learning how to switch back and forth at will between his ghost and human forms. He becomes much more unique then the other guys. Over time, he develops much stronger abilities, such as his Ghost Ray (a concentrated blast of energy he fires from his hand), his Ghostly Wail (an intensely powerful scream with sonic capabilities that knocks back anything caught in its path), and even cryokinesis. Danny is initially frightened by his new abilities and has little control over them, but he soon learns to use them to protect his town from evil spirits. Danny turns to the life of a [[superhero]], using his powers to rid his hometown of the various ghosts and mutant animals which begin to plague it and are almost always brought into the world thanks to the sporadic activation of the Fentons' Ghost Portal. Sam, Tucker, and Jazz are Danny's primary allies in his ghost-fighting activities,<ref name="Mystery Meat">{{cite episode |title=Mystery Meat. Director: Butch Hartman; Writer: Butch Hartman, Mark Banner, Steve Marmel. |series=Danny Phantom | network=[[Nicktoons]] |airdate=2004-04-03 |season=1 |number=01}}</ref> and help him keep his ghost-half a secret.


Danny's ghost self is a polarization of who he was when he entered the ghost portal. When he goes ghost, his black hair turns white, his blue eyes turn green and the white jumpsuit he was wearing during the accident is now black. If Sam had not removed the Jack Fenton logo on Danny's jumpsuit before the accident, it would be a permanent part of Danny's ghost form. In the second season a ghost grants Sam's inadvertent wish that she and Danny had never met, and in consequence Danny loses his ghost powers. In the end Sam persuades Danny (now fully human) to regain his powers by reenacting the accident, this time wearing the jumpsuit with her newly designed "D" logo on the chest, so that it appears when he goes ghost from then on.
Danny's ghost form is a polarization of what he looked like when he first entered the Ghost Portal. When he "goes ghost", his jet-black hair turns snow-white, his sky blue eyes turn neon green, and the black-and-white [[jumpsuit]] he had put on before the accident appears in negative color, with the originally white areas of the suit appearing black, and vice versa. In the premiere episode of season two, a ghost grants Sam's inadvertent wish that she and Danny had never met; in consequence, Danny loses not only memories but his ghost powers as well, as Sam had primarily been the one to persuade Danny to investigate the portal in the first place, which led to the accident. Luckily, however, Sam had been protected from the wish by the ghost-hunting technology of Danny's parents, allowing her to persuade the now fully human Danny to regain his powers by re-enacting the accident. This time, before Danny enters the portal, Sam replaces the logo of his father's face on the jumpsuit, which she also had removed the first time (if she hadn't, it would have been part of Danny's ghost form), with her recently designed "DP" fused-letter logo on the chest so that it appears when he goes ghost from then on.

* [[Danny Phantom (character)|Daniel "Danny" Fenton/"Danny Phantom"]] (voiced by [[David Kaufman (actor)|David Kaufman]]) The [[titular character]] of the show. Danny and his friends are the "unpopular" kids, having "jock" bullies and quaint teachers. A freshman in high school along with his friends, Danny is a clumsy 14-year-old boy who gained ghost powers from a lab accident when he stepped into his parents' ghost portal. He later chooses to use these powers to fight against malevolent [[ghost]]s, which have begun to regularly escape the mysterious Ghost Zone and plague his hometown of Amity Park.<ref name="Mystery Meat"/> An ongoing arc is his constant struggle to use his powers for the benefit of others rather than abuse it for his own selfishness. Danny can be benevolent and decisive. Since he is half-ghost, Danny's struggles, hardships faced by teenagers in his world, are unusually topped with deadly villains from the ghost zone; but in the end, with the help of his friends, he determinedly acts on the right decision. His love interests include Valerie Gray, Paulina, and Samantha Manson, who eventually becomes his girlfriend.<ref name="Reign Storm"/><ref name="Splitting Images">{{cite episode |title=Splitting Images.

Though wealthy, she chooses to hide her family's monetary success (for quite some time) in favor of being liked for who she is. A strident individualist, Sam is a practitioner of an overly dramatized fictional form of [[vegetarian]]ism called "Ultra Recyclo-Vegetarianism"<ref name="Mystery Meat"/> (often generalized as "not eating anything that had a face"), a frequent protester for such things as [[animal rights]],<ref name="Splitting Images"/> and a self-proclaimed goth.

* [[List of Danny Phantom characters#Jack and Maddie Fenton|Jack Fenton]] (voiced by [[Rob Paulsen]]): Danny and Jazz's [[father]] and Maddie's [[husband]].

===Cancellation===
==Reception==
===Critical reception===
''Danny Phantom'' was well received by audiences. However, in August 2007, Nickelodeon announced that it has ended support for new episodes of the series. Butch Hartman has said that although no new episodes would be made, the show would still continue to be broadcast "for years to come". Fans of the show expressed outrage at the cancellation, citing Butch Hartman's admission on his forums that he wished to create more episodes, however his initial public statement on his personal forum was that he is willing to make more episodes if the show is picked up again. The series ended with the episode "Phantom Planet". Repeats of the series are still airing on [[Nicktoons Network]]. However, fans have continued to praise the show even after its cancellation.
''Danny Phantom'' was very well received by both television critics and audiences, gathering a cult following since its original run.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://screenrant.com/nickelodeon-danny-phantom-best-episodes/amp/ | title=15 Best Episodes Of Danny Phantom | author=Lillejord, Kacie | date=22 March 2019 | publisher=Screen Rant}}</ref> Sean Aitchison from [[Comic Book Resources|CBR]] said "''Danny Phantom'' might have a few elements that firmly place it in the 2000s, but the storytelling and design still feel fresh and fun in modern day. The show was full of action and humor, and the characters felt real and layered. If you're looking for an old Nickelodeon cartoon to rewatch,&nbsp;''Danny Phantom'' should be on your list."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cbr.com/good-and-bad-cartoons-from-the-00s/ | title=Keep It 2000: 8 Cartoons From The '00s That Hold Up (And 7 That Don't) | author=Aitchison, Sean | date=14 October 2017 | publisher=[[Comic Book Resources|CBR]]}}</ref> Eric McInnis writing for Study Breaks Magazine said, "The show offered fun comedy, memorable characters, and fantastic character designs for the enemies Danny had to fight in each episode."<ref>{{cite web | url=https://studybreaks.com/culture/5-tv-shows-need-to-make-comeback/ | title=5 TV Shows That Need to Make a Comeback | author=McInnis, Eric | date=15 September 2017 | publisher=Study Breaks}}</ref>

Danny Phantom is an American animated paranormal superhero action adventure television series created by Butch Hartman for Nickelodeon. The series premiered on April 3, 2004, immediately after the 2004 Kids' Choice Awards, and ended on August 24, 2007. The series follows Danny Fenton, a teenage boy who, after an accident with an unpredictable portal between the human world and the "Ghost Zone", becomes a human-ghost hybrid and takes on the task of saving his town (and the world) from subsequent ghost attacks using an evolving variety of supernatural powers. Danny is aided in his quest by his two best friends, Sam Manson and Tucker Foley, and later by his older sister Jazz, who for most of the series' run are among the only people who know of his double life.[2]

Throughout its run, Danny Phantom received five Annie Award nominations and positive reviews.[3] In recent years, the series, particularly its first two seasons, has received renewed attention and critical acclaim from critics and audiences, being considered by many as Hartman's best work.[4][5] Additionally, Danny Phantom has spawned video games, home video releases, toys, and various other merchandise. A campaign to revive Danny Phantom called the Go Ghost Again Movement has spawned in recent years, including a petition on Change.org that has received thousands of signatures.[6]

Premise

[edit]
See also: List of Danny Phantom characters

Daniel "Danny" Fenton, a 14-year-old boy living in the small town of Amity Park, lives with his ghost hunting eccentric parents, Jack and Madeline "Maddie", and his overprotective but caring 16-year-old sister, Jasmine "Jazz". Upon pressure from his two best friends, Samantha "Sam" Manson and Tucker Foley, Danny decides to explore the Ghost Portal created by his parents in their attempt to bridge the human world and the Ghost Zone (the parallel universe in which ghosts reside), that when plugged in, failed to work. Once inside, he inadvertently presses the "On" button (which his parents naively failed to do), thus activating the Portal and infusing his DNA with ectoplasm, transforming him into a half-ghost.[7]

Danny, who calls himself "Danny Phantom" in ghost form, develops the ability to fly, become invisible, intangible, and "overshadow" (possess and control) people after first learning how to switch back and forth at will between his ghost and human forms. He becomes much more unique then the other guys. Over time, he develops much stronger abilities, such as his Ghost Ray (a concentrated blast of energy he fires from his hand), his Ghostly Wail (an intensely powerful scream with sonic capabilities that knocks back anything caught in its path), and even cryokinesis. Danny is initially frightened by his new abilities and has little control over them, but he soon learns to use them to protect his town from evil spirits. Danny turns to the life of a superhero, using his powers to rid his hometown of the various ghosts and mutant animals which begin to plague it and are almost always brought into the world thanks to the sporadic activation of the Fentons' Ghost Portal. Sam, Tucker, and Jazz are Danny's primary allies in his ghost-fighting activities,[8] and help him keep his ghost-half a secret.

Danny's ghost form is a polarization of what he looked like when he first entered the Ghost Portal. When he "goes ghost", his jet-black hair turns snow-white, his sky blue eyes turn neon green, and the black-and-white jumpsuit he had put on before the accident appears in negative color, with the originally white areas of the suit appearing black, and vice versa. In the premiere episode of season two, a ghost grants Sam's inadvertent wish that she and Danny had never met; in consequence, Danny loses not only memories but his ghost powers as well, as Sam had primarily been the one to persuade Danny to investigate the portal in the first place, which led to the accident. Luckily, however, Sam had been protected from the wish by the ghost-hunting technology of Danny's parents, allowing her to persuade the now fully human Danny to regain his powers by re-enacting the accident. This time, before Danny enters the portal, Sam replaces the logo of his father's face on the jumpsuit, which she also had removed the first time (if she hadn't, it would have been part of Danny's ghost form), with her recently designed "DP" fused-letter logo on the chest so that it appears when he goes ghost from then on.

Danny faces threats of many kinds, including vengeful ghost hunter Valerie Gray (voiced by Cree Summer) who, for a short period of time, becomes his love interest,[9] an enemy half-ghost Vlad Masters, an old college friend of his father's and considered to be Danny's true arch-rival,[10] and even his own parents who, as ghost hunters, view Danny Phantom (as they would and do to any ghosts) as nothing but a menace to human society. Furthermore, Danny tries to keep his secret safe from his classmates, teachers, and family.[11] Throughout the progression of the series, Danny slowly realizes his own potential and purpose, while both worlds slowly begin to accept him as their defender.[12]

Reception

[edit]

Critical reception

[edit]

Danny Phantom was very well received by both television critics and audiences, gathering a cult following since its original run.[47] Sean Aitchison from CBR said "Danny Phantom might have a few elements that firmly place it in the 2000s, but the storytelling and design still feel fresh and fun in modern day. The show was full of action and humor, and the characters felt real and layered. If you're looking for an old Nickelodeon cartoon to rewatch, Danny Phantom should be on your list."[48] Eric McInnis writing for Study Breaks Magazine said, "The show offered fun comedy, memorable characters, and fantastic character designs for the enemies Danny had to fight in each episode."[49]
