Quotes by Butch Hartman
I just like to draw and put ideas down. And every idea that Nickelodeon doesn't buy I put on the Noog Network.
Whereas 'OddParents' was slam-bam and silly all the way through, 'Danny Phantom' has more of a good-guy-vs.-bad-guy comic book feel.
I get so many kids coming up to me now, saying, 'Oh, Mr. Hartman, I love your show, I grew up with it; I understand all the jokes now!'
I thought about 'Johnny Quest' and how I loved that cartoon and what a cool name he has. I tried to come up with other names and thought 'Johnny Phantom' would be cool, a superpowered kid who was a ghostbuster.
I wanted to do a show with magic so I wouldn't have to worry about coming up with ideas, and sometimes that's the problem.
When 'Johnny Bravo' was going to end, I thought, 'I really need to sell something. I need a job.' So, I sat down and just sketched this little boy with a fairy godmother. I was going to do a boy version of 'Cinderella.'
