Butch Hartman Explains Why a 'Danny Phantom' x 'Fairly OddParents' Crossover Never Happened

In a new video, animator Butch Hartman reveals that he once pitched a Fairly OddParents x Danny Phantom crossover to Nickelodeon, however, a Danny Phantom x Fairly OddParents crossover was ultimately deemed impossible as, whilst both shows have supernatural elements, they don't really mesh well, with a crossover potentially destroying the Danny Phantom Universe. In his video, Butch pitches and sketches ideas of what a Fairly OddParents x Danny Phantom crossover might look like, including a 'Dark Danny' and 'Dark Timmy', along with 'Dark Cosmo' and 'Dark Wanda'.

Guy Moon, Emmy-Nominated ‘Fairly OddParents’ and 'Danny Phantom' Composer, Passes Away Aged 63

Guy Moon, the four-time Emmy-nominated composer behind the music of Nickelodeon's The Fairly OddParents animated series, has sadly passed away at the age of 63.

Guy Moon / IMDb

Per his family and a Los Angeles County Medical Examiner report, Moon was killed in an accidental traffic collision on the morning of Thursday, January 8 and succumbed to traumatic injuries.

“We are overcome with grief to announce the passing of our beloved patriarch, Guy Moon,” the family said in a statement on Facebook. “We feel singularly blessed to have been able to call him dad and husband. As we stand together at the base of what seems to be an insurmountable grief, we are emboldened to grieve him with honor and courage with the tools that he equipped us with in his beautiful life. He has left an unmistakable legacy, and will be profoundly missed by us, his family, and countless others whose lives he impacted.”

The Annie Award-winning music writer also served as the composer on two more Butch Hartman-created series, Danny Phantom (writing the music for its earworm theme) and T.U.F.F. Puppy. In addition to those projects, he served as a music writer for Big Time Rush, The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest and its reboot, Back at the Barnyard, Cow and Chicken and The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy.

Outside of series and animation, Moon composed scores for films like 2017’s The Crash (starring John Leguizamo, Minnie Driver and AnnaSophia Robb), The Brady Bunch Movie, A Very Brady Sequel and the three live-action Fairly OddParents movies (starring Drake Bell and Danielle Monet). He also contributed to soundtracks for movies like Minority Report, Fight Club and Mystic Pizza.

Moon’s family noted a celebration of his life is being tentatively planned on his birthday, Saturday, February 7, in the Los Angeles area, and another sometime after in his hometown in Wisconsin.

On X, Butch Hartman, creator of many of the shows that Moon worked on, paid tribute to the late musician, saying:

Guy Moon has passed on to Heaven  

I can’t believe I wrote those words but there they are. I am devastated and crying as I write this. It’s taken me three days to compose myself enough to sit at a keyboard and express my thoughts. 

Guy Moon - my colleague, my friend, my brother - my family - passed on to Heaven on Thursday. I’m told it was sudden. I don’t know if that’s better or worse, all I know is that I didn’t get a chance to say goodbye and that’s the part that eats at me the most. I wasn’t part of his immediate clan but having known him for 30 years my wife, Julieann and I basically ‘adopted ourselves’ into his family.  

To say that he was a huge part of my career journey is an understatement. He wasn’t just a part of it; he was fused with it. There’s no ‘Butch Hartman Show’ without Guy Moon. His music was involved in everything - and I mean EVERYTHING – I’ve ever done professionally. Every episode, every song, every note. It was all him. 

I first met him in 1996 at Cartoon Network while working on ‘Johnny Bravo’. His amazing attitude, kindness, warmth, overall sense of fun – not to mention the INCREDIBLE musical talent he possessed – were evident right from the start. From there he worked on the original pilot for ‘The Fairly Oddparents’ in 1997 all the way through its entire run until 2018. Not only did he score EVERY EPISODE he was responsible for some of the most classic hits from ‘ICKY VICKY’ to ‘MY SHINY TEETH AND ME’. The incredible thing was, while Fairly Oddparents was still running I handed him a brand-new show called ‘DANNY PHANTOM’. It was completely different but that was no problem for him. He slid into it so effortlessly it almost seemed unreal. He helped me compose the classic theme song and he did the score for, yes, EVERY SINGLE episode. Keep in mind, he was doing Fairly Oddparents the entire time as well. But this is how gifted people do things: they make it look easy to us mere mortals. 

From there it was ‘TUFF PUPPY’. Yep, he did the theme and every episode. 

Then it was ‘BUNSEN IS A BEAST’. Same thing. He did it all. Completely and wonderfully. 

Then we did ‘HOBBY KIDS ADVENTURES’ and he nailed that one, too. 

By this time, I barely even had to communicate to Guy what was needed for each episode. Of each new project.  We knew each other’s rhythms so well by then. The final show we worked on together were 40 episodes of ‘THE GARDEN CARTOON’. After 3 years of production, he had JUST finished the final episode in November of 2025. I truly believe it’s a fitting capstone to an incredible career as this show teaches kids about the Bible and Jesus Christ.  I know Guy was as proud of it and through this show and all the others I know his legacy will continue for DECADES to come. Music lives forever even if our bodies don’t.

He could, quite literally, compose anything I asked him for. Pop, jazz, rock, opera, 1920’s Ragtime, whatever it was the story needed he could do. The crazy thing was he could do it without even thinking. That’s how gifted he was.

Maybe the most important thing about our relationship was that he was the first one to encourage me to seek Jesus. He never pushed it, I just saw how he acted. What his example was. From there I got inspired and now Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Guy didn’t make the decision for me; he just showed me the door. I praise God for his obedience. 

I’ll be saying a lot more about this as the days and weeks roll by. I’m at a loss, truly. Time will make it easier, I know, as it always does and most of the pain will eventually be forgotten. But Guy – thanks to his incredible music and his amazing legacy - will never be. That warms my heart. 

Rest with the Prince of Peace, my friend. My brother. My family. 

Until we see each other again - - 

-Butch

Voice actor Tara Strong, who voiced Timmy Turner on The Fairly OddParents, also paid tribute to Moon on X, saying:

"Oh no!!! Sending my love to his family, he was a pleasure to work with and so brilliant".

Jim Ward, 'Fairly OddParents' Voice Actor, Passes Away Aged 66

Voice actor Jim Ward, best known for his recurring roles on the Nickelodeon animated series The Fairly OddParents, sadly passed away on Wednesday, December 10. He was 66.

Ward died following a battle with Alzheimer's disease, the actor's agent, Arlene Thornton, confirmed to media outlets on Thursday, December 11.

"His ability to improvise on the spot, as well as his dead-on impressions, were beyond impressive," Thornton said in a statement. "He was a one-man comedy show every time he came to the office to do his auditions. We will miss him dearly, and we will never forget the joy he brought to our lives on a daily basis."

Despite his TV pedigree, it was the world of gaming where Ward's voice-over career truly took off. In the early '90s, the actor appeared in several video games, including Spider-Man vs. The Kingpin, Grim Fandango, King's Quest: Mask of Eternity and Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace.

Ward expanded into film and TV in the late '90s and early 2000s with roles in Casper Meets Wendy, Spirited Away and Totally Spies! The voice-over actor would later become a staple on Nickelodeon, appearing on the series The Fairly OddParents, Hey Arnold!, Danny Phantom, My Life as a Teenage Robot and Avatar: The Last Airbender.

L-R: Doug Dimmadome and Chet Ubetcha in 'The Fairly OddParents' | Nickelodeon

On Fairly OddParents, Ward played business tycoon Doug Dimmadome and news anchor Chet Ubetcha, in addition to various other characters, over the course of a 95-episode stint. Dimmadome has become a meme over the years, thanks to his tall hat and ownership of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome.

In 2009, Ward's performance as Stoker in the 2006 revival of the sci-fi action series Biker Mice from Mars won him a Daytime Emmy Award for outstanding performer in an animated program.

From 2004 to 2017, Ward was the co-host of The Stephanie Miller Show, a syndicated progressive talk radio program that featured a number of his impersonations of political figures and other celebrities and news makers.

In 2021, it was reported that Ward had developed symptoms of a precocious form of Alzheimer's disease and contracted a severe case of COVID-19, leaving him unable to continue voice acting.

On December 10, 2025, Ward's radio colleague Miller announced she had received an email from Ward's wife, announcing that he had died earlier that morning.

Butch Hartman, the creator of The Fairly OddParents and Danny Phantom paid tribute to the late actor on Facebook, saying:

"My good friend, colleague and voice actor extraordinaire JIM WARD has sadly passed away. I had the great pleasure and honor of working with Jim for many years on “The Fairly Oddparents” and other shows. He did the iconic voices of some of the most classic characters ever including CHET UBETCHA and DOUG DIMMADOME. To say the voice over world has lost a giant is an understatement. Rest in peace, dear friend and thank you for blessing us with your incredible talent and charm. Love you, brother. ✝️🩷😢 #voiceover #rip #fairlyoddparents #nickelodeon #childhood #hollywood"

Danny Phantom Set to Land In Fortnite on December 5

It's time to Go Ghost once more!

Epic Games has announced that Danny Phantom and his best friend, Sam Manson, from Nickelodeon's beloved animated series, Danny Phantom, will be landing in Fortnite's Battle Island!

It's time to get hype for everything dropping in the shop this week including: New Outfits, New Sidekicks, and Kicks! What are you looking forward to? pic.twitter.com/rjrg3aZcze

— Fortnite (@Fortnite) December 3, 2025

In a recent trailer, the hit game revealed that a Danny Phantom and Sam Manson skin bundle will be arriving in Fortnite's Item Shop on Friday, December 5.

While Epic hasn’t revealed the full lineup of cosmetics yet, leaked promotional materials suggest additional items like Back Bling, Emotes, and possibly Gliders could be part of the package. According to these leaks, the pricing is expected to follow Fortnite’s usual Chapter 7 bundle structure:

• Danny Phantom Skin – 1,500 V-Bucks
• Danny Phantom (Non-Ghost Style, aka, Danny Fenton) – Alternate Outfit
• Sam Manson Skin – 1,500 V-Bucks
• Danny Phantom Bundle – 2,100 V-Bucks

The bundle will officially go live when the shop refreshes at 4 PM PT / 7 PM ET on December 5.

Earlier reports suggested that SpongeBob SquarePants and South Park are also set to join the game later this Chapter, hinting at a broader wave of Paramount partnerships. Paramount is also speculated to be introducing a "Paramount Sidekicks" content range to the game, which is expected to be adding during Chapter 7.

Not only is Danny Phantom set to join the fray, but Kill Bill is also continuing to add to its Fortnite roster, with a Gogo Yubari addition to the closet. A fresh companion can be recruited from the Item Shop as well, giving fans the option to have the Best Cat or a Phantom Guffpup sidekick companion. If fans are fast enough, the Naruto Kakashi bundle from Naruto Shippuden is still up on the shop today. As Fortnite has proven with The Simpsons, there’s no collaboration too out of bounds for Battle Island. Alongside new additions to the item shop, Fortnite has also teased the return of the Battle Bus. The Battle Bus Driver texted the runners of the official X account that they were, in fact, not obliterated by an energy beam last week, saying “I Lived”.

After the alleged demise of the Battle Bus via energy beam, players have been hard at work completing quests to repair the Battle Bus, locating pieces of the rig to reassemble, and this text message proves the hard work may have paid off. Although the bus looks a little worse for wear, Epic Games hasn’t confirmed whether the surfing mechanic (the current way to enter battle royale matches) will remain once repairs are complete.

Fans can jump in and check out the new additions to the Item Shop today.

Nickelodeon & Funko Announce SDCC 2025 Exclusive POP! Figures Based On Classic Episodes Of ‘SpongeBob,’ ‘Danny Phantom’ & ‘Fairly OddParents’

Nickelodeon and Funko are tapping into some serious millennial nostalgia for classic animated programming with three new POP! figures based on iconic episodes of Danny Phantom, The Fairly OddParents, and SpongeBob SquarePants.

Forbes Entertainment has unveiled a first look at all three items, which will be available to those attending this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. If you plan to be at the California-based con and want to get your hands on this limited merch, just be sure to get there bright and early — the Funko section of the convention floor never fails to attract large crowds.

Each SDCC '25 exclusive makes use of Funko’s “new authentication packaging,” the company says. “Using micro-optic technology that cannot be duplicated or replicated, these stickers contain unique item codes that can be officially verified through Octane5.”

Check out Nickelodeon’s exclusive Funko POP! figures for San Diego Comic-Con 2025

POP Animation: Danny Phantom - Sam​ ($15)

Don’t ghost this prom date! This exclusive POP! Sam Manson is here to party in your POP! Animation collection. Reunite her with her friends when you welcome her to your Danny Phantom lineup. Vinyl figure is approximately 4.2 in (10.7 cm) tall.

Of course, fans of Butch Hartman’s second Nickelodeon series will recognize this prom-themed version of Sam from Season 1, Episode 2 — “Parental Bonding” — which laid the groundwork for Sam’s romance with Danny. The two finally acted on their feelings and officially became a couple in the series finale: “Phantom Planet.”

Sam Manson's POP! code is 2002. 

POP Animation: Fairly OddParents 2 pack- Jorgen Von Strangle & Tooth Fairy ($30)

Talk about a power couple! POP! Jorgen Von Strangle and POP! Tooth Fairy are here to take their place in your collection. Add some magic to your POP! Television set when you welcome this exclusive 2-pack to your The Fairly OddParents lineup! Vinyl figures are approximately 4.7 and 5.4 in (11.9 and 13.7 cm) tall.

This duo set can only be a reference to Season 5’s “Teeth for Two," where Jorgen, the buff, Arnold Schwarzenegger-inspired leader of Fairy World, proposes to his longtime girlfriend, the Tooth Fairy, with Timmy Turner’s coveted buck teeth.

POP Premium: SpongeBob - Cleaning - $20

Courtesy of Funko/Nickelodeon

It looks like he could really use a break! Give this exclusive POP! Premium SpongeBob Cleaning a hand in your POP! Animation collection. Reunite him with all his Bikini Bottom friends when you welcome him to your SpongeBob SquarePants lineup. Vinyl figure is approximately 5.6 in (14.2 cm) tall.

This many-armed iteration of Bikini Bottom’s happy-go-lucky fry cook is plucked straight from the Season 3 episode “Rock-a-Bye Bivalve,” in which SpongeBob and Patrick become adoptive parents to an abandoned baby scallop they dub “Junior.” The former agrees to take care of things on the household front while Patrick goes to “work” every day. Pretty ironic, considering SpongeBob has a full-time gig at the Krusty Krab. In any case, SpongeBob becomes more and more ragged as the days go by and Patrick fails to share the parental load. As we soon learn, the dim-witted starfish’s idea of a hard day’s work is watching TV all day under his rock.

Cleaning SpongeBob has the production code of 2001.

Butch Hartman Reveals His Pick to Play Live-Action Danny Phantom at MegaCon

Butch Hartman, the creator of Danny Phantom, wants Tom Holland to play the teenage ghost.

Believe it or not, this April marks the 20th anniversary of Danny Phantom. The sci-fi series went live under the eye of Butch Hartman, and it remains one of the most beloved animated titles to come from Nickelodeon. Even after all these years, fans new and old continue to go ghost with Danny Fenton as he patrols the Ghost Zone. Now, Hartman has revealed who he would want to play Danny in live-action, and it is someone we all know.

The information comes straight from MegaCon in Orlando as ComicBook.com hosted a panel with Hartman. It was there the creator of Danny Phantom was asked about his live-action hopes, and Hartman admitted he wants a Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) star to tackle his creation.

"Tom Holland, all the way," Hartman revealed. "It's got to be Tom Holland."

So there you have it! From Spider-Man to Danny Phantom, it seems Holland has a lock on a number of top-tier heroes. Now, the only question is if the British actor is available for the role...

Of course, Danny Phantom fans would love to see the series make a comeback, but no such plans are in the works so far as we know. The original animated series ended in August 2007 which gave it three years on the air. In recent years, social media has rallied behind Danny Phantom with some groups going so far as to petition Nickelodeon for a revival. Not long ago, reports even surfaced that discussions for a live-action Danny Phantom movie were in talks in Hollywood. So if that is the case, well – we know how Hartman wants to see go ghost on the big screen!

For now, it seems like your best bet to reconnect with Danny Phantom is through its animated series. The hit show is streaming right now on Paramount+, and you can get a free trial by clicking here.

Live-Action 'Danny Phantom' Movie Reportedly In The Works

Could Danny Fenton be about to go ghost once again?

An iconic animated series may soon be making its way back to our screens in a new form. According to insider Daniel Richtman, a live-action Danny Phantom film is in development at Paramount.

Danny Phantom is an animated series that first premiered on Nickelodeon in 2004, netting fifty-three episodes across three seasons. Created by Butch Hartman (The Fairly OddParents), the series followed the adventures of a teenager named Danny Fenton, who gains various superpowers like flight and invisibility after an accident in his ghost-hunting obsessed parents' laboratory. Despite his initial hesitation, Danny eventually learns to embrace his powers and commits to becoming a superhero to defend his family, friends Tucker Foley and Sam Manson, and hometown from the threat of malevolent ghosts from the Ghost Zone.

The show bears many similarities to Sony's Ghostbusters, including some of the equipment used in the series, as well as Marvel's Spider-Man series, with both protagonists forced to juggle the responsibilities of being a superhero along with the everyday mundanities of being a teenager. This timeless formula proved to be a success as Danny Phantom has retained a solid following since its finale aired well over a decade ago.

Although the series ended in 2007, Danny Phantom has remained in the hearts of fans, and has seen a few comebacks in recent years, including most recently as characters in the Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl franchise as well as a graphic novel, "A Glitch In Time".

Ricthman did not reveal any further information about the film, such as a creative team or potential timeline. It seems the project is still in very early development; it may be some time before any additional news regarding the movie is announced. It remains to be seen if the film will receive a theatrical release or premiere on Paramount+.

Interestingly, Grey DeLisle (The Loud House), who provided the voice of 'Sam' in Danny Phantom, hinted back in 2016 that Nickelodeon were planning to make a live-action Danny Phantom movie.

The news also comes as Nickelodeon is revisiting many of its iconic properties, including the recently released Zoey 102 and Good Burger 2 movies, as well as revivals of Fairly OddParents and iCarly. Nickelodeon has also rebooted Rugrats and Blue's Clues, and will be launching its rebooted Dora the Explorer series later this year, along with a The Thundermans revival movie. A Henry Danger movie is also in the works, as well as new Avatar: The Last Airbender projects.

It's important to note that, at the time of posting, nothing official has been confirmed so far, so it's worth taking it all with a pinch of salt.

Official Ember Spotlight - Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 - GameMill Entertainment

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 - Official Ember Spotlight - GameMill Entertainment

Featuring a unique cheer meter, Ember Mclain from Danny Phantom joins Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 with far reaching guitar attacks and strong abilities. Watch Ember's previously released reveal trailer here!

As an all-rounder, Ember comes equipped with an array of far-reaching attacks based on her gaster guitar and music-centric moves, notes Try Hard Games. These attacks contribute to her unique in-game feature: a cheer meter that fills up incrementally when she lands hits with these particular moves.

Upon filling the cheer meter, all of Ember’s special moves receive a power boost, thereby adding a layer of strategy for players who use her. Among her special moves are her up special, where she rides her guitar into the sky while pulling opponents along until the move’s final hits. Her side special, dubbed “Arpeggio,” comprises four hits and can be canceled at will. When her cheer meter is full, this move transforms, delivering a potent blast all at once.

Another special move in her repertoire is “Ghost Power Cord,” her neutral special. This move serves as a useful projectile for controlling space and initiating combos. It gains speed and power once the cheer meter is filled. Ember’s down special, known as “Jam Sessions,” uses hypnotic tunes to stun opponents, setting them up for further attacks.

One of Ember’s distinct advantages is her ability to operate at a greater range compared to most characters. This advantage stems from her musical abilities and equipment. Those skilled in maintaining spacing during gameplay could benefit from a spike located at the tip of her Forward Air move. Additionally, her light up air proves to be an effective tool for starting combos and juggling opponents.

Other interesting features in her move set include a charged aerial up attack, which can be terminated early for a stronger finish if the attack button is pressed again. Her aerial charged down attack, termed “September Rain,” releases a potent ghostly rip. Overall, the gameplay mechanics and movesets announced for Ember McLain make her a versatile addition to the Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 roster, providing various tools suitable for a range of matchups.

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 lets you duke it out with the biggest and best fighting character roster yet, including all new characters like SpongeBob SquarePants, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Squidward Tentacles, Jimmy Neutron, and more! Choose your favorite brawlers, master their unique move sets, and use all-new powerful Supers to land the finishing blow with friends or across a unique, roguelike player campaign!

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl Leak Suggests Sequel is on the Way

A potential leak suggests that Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl may be getting a sequel, which will allegedly feature a new playable character.

A rumor has started going around that Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl could be getting a sequel soon. The game was last updated in October last year, which introduced Rocko from Rocko's Modern Life as a playable character, to celebrate its first anniversary.

Released in October 2021, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is a 2D platforming fighter game featuring well-loved characters, such as SpongeBob SquarePants, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Garfield. Many players have been requesting other characters, such as Squidward and Jimmy Neutron, to be included in future DLCs, but the game has not been updated for a few months.

Over on Reddit, user KlausHeissler09 shared a photo of Squidward models, which they claimed were leaked screenshots for the upcoming Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl sequel. The assets point to the sequel’s apparent Squidward character having a moveset revolving around a wheelchair, a furious two-handed punch, and his bizarre talent show dance moves. Meanwhile, fans may also see Patrick’s moveset updated in the follow-up, with additional shots displaying the starfish throwing his rock house.

Hours after the post was made, user Faboulous_Mud_alt3 also took to the AllStarBrawl subreddit to reveal an alleged updated character model for Danny Phantom in the sequel.

The leaker said in the comments that the Squidward photos originated from an alleged dev leak and was later shared in a MultiVersus Discord server. Although KlausHeissler09 didn't provide further details about the sequel and the other playable characters, they theorized that Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl developer GameMill might reveal the game as early as July this year.

Gamers had varying reactions to the rumor, with many thinking that the Squidward models could be fake, while others seemed excited for what's to possibly come and hoped that Handsome Squidward would be added as well. Some were also surprised that Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl might get a sequel this early as they expected it to be a live service game that will be updated constantly with new playable characters.

Of course, this information hasn't been confirmed yet and gamers should take it with a grain of salt first and wait for official announcements about the Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl sequel. However, it's also worth acknowledging that KlausHeissler09's past leaks on Reddit have mostly been accurate. For example: They previously shared the release date of the original’s Hugh Neutron and shared the official box art of Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3 before it was revealed to the public.

Fans also should not rule out the possibility that Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is just getting started with their DLC packs. Despite its most recent character, Rocko, launching in October, it has been teased that he may not be the last. In Rocko’s character showcase, the game’s developer concluded the video by simply stating, “Please look forward to more like this in the future.” It is not understood whether players will gain new content in the original, but it is looking ever-more-likely that they have not seen the last of All-Star Brawl.

If Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 does happen, players could expect more new characters, stages, and items. It's also possible that it might have similar or perhaps even better graphics than the first game, especially if it will be made for current-generation consoles. But as long as the alleged Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl sequel sticks to its core of having fun, cartoony action, players are sure to love it.

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.

Update (6/26) - Cover art for the rumored Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 has been posted on Twitter, however, it's currently unknown whether it is official. The box art, thought to be for the Nintendo Switch, features SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star, as well as Raphael from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Jenny "XJ-9" Wakeman from My Life As A Teenage Robot,
