Fans Recreate 'Danny Phantom' Intro Using CG-Animation

A group of fans have recreated the iconic intro of Nickelodeon's fan-favorite animated series Danny Phantom using CGI!

Danny Phantom CGI Reboot from Zachary Morawiec on Vimeo.

My friends Joshua Baum & Jack McCaffrey and I created this fan animated CG Danny Phantom animation inspired by the original series' intro!

The CG-animated Danny Phantom opening titles comes as a petition to revive or reboot the animated series gathers steam.

The video caught the attention of series creator Butch Hartman on TikTok, who couldn't help but show support for the creative remake. "Love seeing it in this style," he wrote on his duet of the TikTok. "So cool!" He's also seen grooving along to the show's catchy rap theme song, which he wrote the lyrics for. Hartman captioned his duet post saying, "ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS!"

Danny Phantom first premiered on Nickelodeon in 2004, netting fifty-three episodes that 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 and hometown from the threat of malevolent ghosts. 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.

Fans of Danny Phantom started a petition on Change.org several years ago urging Nickelodeon to revive the show. The description states that the show "continues to maintain a large, passionate fan base over a decade after its cancellation, showing true dedication to the series and appreciation of its quality." Although the petition has yet to reach its goal, it has maintained a consistent stream of engagement and has just recently crossed 17,000 supporters.

With Danny Phantom trending on Twitter, David Kaufman, who voice Danny in the series, Tweeted: "Danny Phantom trending today to let the world know he’s still fighting for me & you."


Nickelodeon isn't a stranger to reviving their older IPs for a modern audience. Paramount+ recently developed a revival series for the classic Nickelodeon sitcom iCarly, with all the original actors reprising their original roles, as well as a CG-animated Rugrats reboot, again with most of the show's original voice actors. Additionally, a live-action/animated hybrid reboot of Hartman's The Fairly Oddparents is set to begin filming later this year. In the midst of all these revivals, it's as opportune a time as ever for Danny Phantom to receive the same treatment.

Danny Phantom will also be a playable character in the upcoming Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl video game.

As media consumption has become more democratized in recent years, revival campaigns such as this one have become more and more common. Just last month, fans of the YA book series Eragon started a viral campaign for Disney to create a proper adaptation of the franchise as well. While the 80s and 90s nostalgia have been in vogue for the last decade, it seems that the wheel is now turning to the 2000s. Hopefully, Nickelodeon catches wind of this movement, and Danny Phantom will go ghost once again.

Über SpongeBob Schwammkopf

Tief unten im Pazifischen Ozean, in der Stadt Bikini Bottom, lebt ein quadratischer, gelber Schwamm namens SpongeBob Schwammkopf. SpongeBob wohnt zusammen mit seiner miauenden Haustierschnecke Gary in einer 2-Zimmer-Ananas, liebt seinen Job als Koch im Fast-Food-Lokal „Krosse Krabbe“ und hat ein absolutes Talent dafür, ständig in Schwierigkeiten zu geraten – ohne es wirklich darauf anzulegen. Wenn er also nicht gerade Krabbenburger brät oder seinem nörgelnden Nachbarn Thaddäus auf die Nerven geht, steckt SpongeBob meistens zusammen mit seinem besten Seestern-Freund Patrick oder seiner Eichhörnchen-Freundin Sandy mitten in einem schrägen Abenteuer.

Could Big Time Rush Be on the Verge of a Big Time Comeback?

Could Big Time Rush be making a comeback? The band's official Twitter account has updated to using a red layout, whilst each member of Big Time Rush - Kendall Schmidt, Carlos PenaVega, James Maslow and Logan Henderson - also updating their Instagram avatars to a solid red circle. The news follows reports that the band recently recorded new songs, including "Echoes", "How You Like Me Now", "Stars Align" and "Something Bout Your Love".

Credit: @PopBase

None of the members have yet commented on the meaning of the red profile photos, but they have in the past expressed interest in a formal reunion.

Update (7/17) - All will reportedly be revealed on Monday, July 19!:


On social media, Rushers theorized that a new single was coming, while others hoped for a reunion tour or concert special.

The Los Angeles–based boy band was formed in 2009 and starred in a Nickelodeon series, also called Big Time Rush, until 2013. The group released three albums and staged their final tour in 2014.

In Big Time Rush, four best friends from Minnesota trade in their hockey sticks and high-school life for the opportunity of a lifetime: pursue pop music stardom in Los Angeles as a boy band. Discovered as a solo singer, Kendall has no interest in leaving his Midwest life behind, so he agrees to take part in "pop group" training in exchange for the record company allowing his three buddies -- James, Logan and Carlos -- a chance to make it with him as a group. They live in a swanky housing development, but the boys soon find life in Hollywood is not all about the parties and girls, and if they are to make it in the big time, it will only come from hard work, dedication -- and the support of one another.

Big Time Rush stars Kendall Schmidt as Kendall Knight, Carlos PenaVega as Carlos Garcia, James Maslow as James Diamond, Logan Henderson as Logan Mitchell, Ciara Bravo as Katie Knight, Stephen Kramer Glickman as Gustavo Rocque, Tanya Chisholm as Kelly Wainwright, Challen Cates as Jennifer Knight, Erin Sanders as Camille Roberts, Katelyn Tarver as Jo Taylor, and Malese Jow as Lucy Stone.

Over the course of its four-season run, the actors’ lives mimicked that of their onscreen characters. Both on- and off-screen, multiple Big Time Rush albums were released, sold-out tours were embarked on, and millions of fans, also known as Rushers, were made.

The news follows Kendall, James, Logan and Carlos hosting a series of virtual reunions during the COVID-19 pandemic, which included releasing new renditions of two of their hit songs, "Worldwide" and "Beautiful Christmas" - and it's speculated that the boys will be treating fans to new music later this year.

Earlier this year, Maslow, 30, admitted that the guys talked more in 2020 than they had in a while. “This last year, we’ve definitely been in touch more than previous years and wanted to do several things just to bring some levity and some ‘stay positive’ nostalgia to our fans in such trying times,” he told Smashing Interviews in January. “The reaction’s been pretty fantastic. So what that means, I’m not certain. I think we need to get past [COVID-19] before any of us are touring individually or collectively. But something may be on the table. We’ll see how things turn out this year.”

Big Time Rush is available to stream on Paramount+ and Netflix.

Carlos PenaVega Teases Possible Return of a Hit TV Series

[...]


PenaVega Wore a Red Hat in a Video This Week & Answered Questions About It

In an Instagram video with his wife Alexa PenaVega, Carlos was wearing a red baseball cap with the word “OBEY” on it. Fans wondered if there was a secret message behind it. During the Q&A, Carlos brought up the question a couple of times.

At one point he teased:

So many people asking me what’s up with the red dot… Can’t a guy just like the color red? … How often do I wear this red hat? I lost this red hat on a rollercoaster and you (Alexa) bought me a new one. That’s how much I love this red hat. So why can’t a guy like red guys?

Later when someone asked again, he said: “What’s up with the red? I like the color red. That’s it. I love you guys.”

So it appeared that he was playing coy, but fans weren’t buying it. One fan replied, “Need that reunion tour announcement!!”

Another wrote: “why cant a guy like red?? OK CARLOS I SEE U 😑😭😂”

Another fan replied: “a guy can like red but c’mon…what’s the real reason behind the red profile pictures?”

Yet another person replied: “OF COURSE YOU CAN WEAR RED BUT YOU KNOW WHAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT😭 4 GUYS WHO WERE AT A BAND HAVING THE EXACT RED PICTURE ON IG🙃🙃”

Alex and Carlos also answered questions about whether they were returning to Hallmark. When asked when their next Hallmark movie is, Carlos said they don’t know but they would love to do another one. Alexa added that they also don’t know when their next “Picture Perfect Mysteries” movie is going to be either.

“We don’t know if it’s coming back (‘Picture Perfect Mysteries’), we don’t know if we’re coming back to Hallmark, we don’t know anything,” Carlos admitted.

They also briefly mentioned that they’re working on a book, but didn’t go into details on what it’s about.

“We were in the middle of brainstorming for this one chapter, and I was talking about Alexa, and I was like, ‘Man, I don’t think … I’ve had sleepless nights because of the baby, but never because I was actually the one feeding the baby,'” Carlos admitted. “…My wife is so incredible, she knows that I need my sleep, so she’s like, ‘I will take care of the baby all night long so you never have to do it.’ And I just want you (Alexa) to know that I love you, and your efforts do not go unnoticed.”

Alexa joked back, “When I’m extra-aged because of all these sleepless nights, you just have to still love me the same.”

Carlos joked back: “Sweetheart, it’s a balance because living with me, I keep you young.”

They added that they plan to make YouTube videos again, and they have something special planned for next year.

“We have some really cool stuff planned for next year,” Alexa said.

'Jimmy Neutron' Fans Want Hugh Neutron in 'Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl'

The Fight for HUGH NEUTRON in Nick All-Star Brawl | Vailskibum94


Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is on the way. With characters like SpongeBob SquarePants, Danny Phantom, Nigel Thornberry, and many others joining the party, one cartoon dad is missing: Hugh Neutron. Was he even planned at all? Hugh's voice actor chimes in.

So far, Jimmy Neutron isn't getting much representation in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl. Considering it was one of the most beloved Nicktoons of the classic era, the decision is questionable. Could we ever get Hugh Neutron in the game?

‘Gullah Gullah Island’ Stars Ron and Natalie Talk About the Show’s Creation and Overall Success

CHARLESTON, S.C. – It’s a tune those who grew up in the mid-90s know all too well; “come and let’s play together in the bright sunny weather…” Gullah Gullah Island was a popular preschool series that aired on Nickelodeon from 1994-98.


It follows an African American family as they learn about life with friends, neighbors, and their big yellow pet pollywog Binya Binya.

What makes it special – especially to those who grew up in South Carolina's Lowcountry – was its setting on South Carolina’s sea islands.

In this week’s episode of Let’s Talk, News 2 anchor and podcast host Carolyn Murray talks to Ron and Natalie Daise, co-creators and stars of the show based on Gullah-Geechee people and culture.

Ron was born and raised on St. Helena Island. He met his wife, Natalie, when she moved to the Lowcountry from New York and created the sing-along series together.

They turned everyday activities into teachable moments through storytelling, songs, and gameplay.

“The network did not know that it would become as popular as it did,” said Ron. “I think it was ‘okay, we’ve done this now we can move on,’ but then it went – at that time – four years in production, and until that time Nick Jr. shows had gone a total of three.”

“In terms of success, I remember one day the executive director of Nickelodeon said something like ‘do you know how many million people watch this every day,’” Natalie recalled.

But how did it all come together? Natalie said she was working for the Town of Hilton Head Island and left her job so they could both hit the road full-time as storytellers and performers.

“I had been doing community performances, doing readings and dramatizations, said Ron. “And Natalie said, around that time, ‘wouldn’t it be great if we could be like Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis?”

They would perform skits and presentations for schools and community organizations. “We grew and developed over time, but there was always a sense, to me at least, that this is what we’re doing that is going to lead to something. I’m not sure what it’s going to lead to, but it’s going to lead to something,” said Ron.

Natalie said Gullah, Gullah Island came about by grace. “We had been traveling, doing performances. At that time, we had a baby – she was a wonderful road baby – and then she was pregnant again and we began to talk, it’s one thing to have one baby on the road.”

While Natalie was pregnant, they began to look for something else. “We went to some folks we respected and said what do you think is next for us? They said ‘well, you’ve been playing around long enough it’s time for you to get a job with benefits and just try to be grownups now.’ We were like that doesn’t feel like what’s next…”

It was during a dinner with a friend, who was a novelist when they began discussing television for children and how there was no diversity. The friend stated, “well, you know Nickelodeon is going to diversify.” She and her partner had already pitched shows that were not picked up when they introduced Ron and Natalie to the network.

The then Nickelodeon CEO, said, “wow, I always wanted to do a show about an island, maybe I can do a show about you,” said Natalie. “The production company, the network, was very open to being respectful and to incorporating the culture into the show – not just letting it be the backdrop, but sort of saturating it. Things just came in naturally.”

After nearly 15 years, I've decided to 'upgrade' the blog's web address!

There's still tons to do, such as updating the links in the sidebar, however, if you click on them, they should automatically redirect to the new address.

I'm not totally sure how this will affect RSS feeds, hopefully they'll continue to work until I update the links.
