You inspire me so much Butch

[@Navillea]

I wasn't born when you're cartoons aired but when I first found them I was immediately hooked on Danny Phantom I wish nick would bring it back, but you inspire me everyday thanks for the best cartoons of my life❤

[@juxtapositionofsouls]

Hey Butch, I was watching one of the older episodes of The Fairly Odd Parents and noticed there's a drawing in the style of The Fairly Odd Parents of the Icelandic singer Bjork on the wall wearing her swan dress. I forget which episode it was, but it was kinda of an easter egg for the audience and for me since I love Bjork and your work. Can you explain why you drew Bjork, are you a fan of hers to? Also, I noticed that Blonda was wearing Bjork's famous swan dress. Thank you, such a huge fan! ❤👏

[@NathanFisherNF7]

I love that you and Seth had Adam West inside the studio back when you guys were working on Johnny Bravo 🙂

I dont care what they all think. Butch hartman is my favorite cartoonist along with the adult swim and hartman a honorable one.

Yes indeed he is.

Happy Holidays Mr. Hartman.🎄☃️❄️

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

Noticed Nickelodeon Studios in the background. Butch Hartman was recorded in front of a live studio audience in Nickelodeon Studios at Universal Studios Florida

[@Anwawesome]

@@MrParkerman6 This comment was probably a reference to what they would say at the beginning of a show that was filmed there back in the 90s and early-mid 2000s. No need for the name calling lmao.

Happy 45th Anniversary Nickelodeon 🟠 1979-2024

[@ryderthetiger8772]

Being a Nickelodeon creator would be a day come true!

[@ryderthetiger8772]

Khalil Rawls thanks! I know it wouldn’t be easy

[@IanHamby]

As an aspiring cartoonist, I'd like to see more!

[@andrewf2745]

Next video the process on working on Danny phantom and tuff puppy.

[@deaareonmorris6536]

Thank you butch for giving me advice as I’m on my journey to becoming a more skilled animator/creator I hope my show will be on the big network 1 day.

[@QueenA.G.]

I would be honored to create a show at Nickelodeon, I’ve been creating my own (kinda stupid) show about a bunch of disabled princesses that are superheroes called the Cyber Girls! The show is supposed to preach that you’re strong no matter what u have. Blind? Deaf? Autistic? Bionic arms? Bionic legs? Doesn’t matter! You can be super and just as successful as someone who is “perfect” but the other thing that my show addressees is that “nobody IS perfect, even if they SEEM perfect! Because everyone has something going on”

[@zacquinn]

That sounds amazing. You might be able to get it on adult swim or Fox

[@icecreamhero2375]

Pretty cool idea I like it.

[@icecreamhero2375]

That idea sounds cool now they just need a villian, And if I were you I would switch it to school rather than princesses to throw in a few relatable moments. Also it gives the Cyber girls an excuse to all know each other if they simply met at school. Also you run into all sorts of people in school but all thesed princesses happen to be disabled.

[@icecreamhero2375]

@UCQ2Ebm0IbAqATHbMAiRykiA To be fair I wouldn't say they are all perfect. Snow White is naive and too gulibale. Cinderanlla was in an abusive realtionship and she does her best to get through it with a smile. Arrora was just borring sleeeping beauty was not there best work, Bell is a book worm, Jazmine is kinda sassy, Areil is stuborn and reckless, I didn't finish princess and the frog, Elsa is an introvert.

[@icecreamhero2375]

How did they get their powers?

[@politicallyunhinged]

I wanted this to be like the videos that you watch in history class.

[@Fustro]

This is my dream but I have social anxiety :(

[@HappyBob123]

I have a much bigger Social anxiety

[@sora034]

Fustrolight That’s okay to feel that way. You’re just not use to it. I feel the way but I feel like I can do this job and I think you can do the same.

[@frothingbubbles]

same

[@ThePhinMurphy]

Being an animator is my dream butch thanks so much for these videos butch it really helped me what to expect if I went into creating my own cartoon shows for nick or Disney or any other net work.

[@F.E_Robin]

I want more videos on Kitty Katswell!

[@waelalabri7219]

Me too! I like her more than other characters from the side of Nickelodeon. Many fans like me (and certainly you) hope that she gets her own spin off show someday.

[@F.E_Robin]

Wael ALAbri OMG I ME TOO, SHE WAS THE ONLY REASOM WHY I WATCHED TUFF PUPPY!!!!! I would love to see more of her soon

[@waelalabri7219]

Well Joe, many fans on Deviant Art admit that fact too. As they like her the most. Nickelodeon should respect pretty side characters like her. Same like Nintendo did with Mario's girlfriend Princess Peach when she got her own game on DS.

[@F.E_Robin]

Wael ALAbri MAYBE IF WE GATHER A LARGE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE TO ASK NICKELODEON TO MAKE A SPIN OFF OF HER THEY MIGHT ! Sounds like a good idea tbh

[@waelalabri7219]

@@F.E_Robin This sounds cool. Maybe asking Butch Hartman himself and actress Grey Delisle about the same idea. Let's hope so.

[@RaidingSalmon]

I'd definitely like to see more content like this. Im working on a little project at the moment, and this video really showed me how important it is to work with others and be organized.

[@michaeld2799md]

I’m so grateful when you post stuff like this butch. Always a wealth of information.

[@irisgarrett5818]

Butch, you should make a video about how to sell a cartoon. Like what what would be your tips on how to sell a cartoon.

[@lucas25884]

This is the best video on subject i've seen so far!! Thank you so much!

[@ChocolateForTheWin]

I would love more videos like this, I really would like to get one of my ideas on tv one day so learning all this is very helpful!

[@icecreamhero2375]

Hey Butch I noticed in the credits of some shows like Phineas and Ferb there are 2 show runners does that mean you get to do more drawing?

[@purplehumanz]

icecream hero it means both draw the cartoon

[@Mal.Vid.13]

I’ve been binging Tom and Jerry a kids lately and I noticed your name in the character design in the credits (in seasons 2-4 only)

[@BenChungHoon]

It would be great to hear how you deal with notes from the studio or if a show/story isn't testing well, where do you fight for things you like or are passionate about vs accepting what the studio is looking for.

[@rickyjerome_]

We would love to hear more about the creation process Butch!! Your videos are very informative!

[@alisonmcgregor2002]

this seems so stressful omg how am i gonna handle all of this when i become a cartoonist? i have plenty of time to think about that tho

[@Tommyknocker.]

Oh, it's still my dream. Hope to make it to the art school, then to the animation college, and then here we go Hollywood

[@BLUESTREAK91]

That my friend is indeed a lot of info to keep in mind but all at the same time very informative and helpful! You inspire alot of artists and future cartoonist's!

This is an interesting video about yourself at the first day with Nickelodeon Mr. Hartman. It helped me knowing what to do. I'm also hoping to make cartoons. At least writing ideas as a start.

[@denkeshi]

Thanks for telling me, I will remember your words.

[@sokitaoshiwade7255]

Thanks for that Butch!Now I'm starting to get the idea of what's it's like being a cartoon creator.

[@icecreamhero2375]

I'm glad I already designed my characters.

[@icecreamhero2375]

@@MrParkerman6 Its not hard to design your own characters you just need paper. Also I would rather do the main characters then let someone else do it.

Hey Butch, I was wondering if there was a way to get danny to go ghost again as in Make a season 4 of Danny Phantom on youtube, If not, That's fine, But I wanted to know that since I grew up with Danny Phantom and it was sad that it ended but I can understand the reason why.

Wow this is so awesome

How to make a cartoon series at least an episodic one 1) Premise 2) character dynamics and personality 3) antagonists (4 rules for what the character can and can't do and how they should act (5 running gags and reoccuring themes.

hello Butch Hartman, I really like you youtube videos as-well as your shows on nickelodeon. My favourite show was , of course, the fairly OddParents. Could you make or tell us a series finale? The fairly OddParents was an amazing show and it really deserves a series finale! bet if you don't want to that's ok too.

[@Lady-Sin]

Just wanna comment this in hope to get an actual comment from the legendary Butch Hartman himself. In the fairly odd parents there is a massive secret hidden in plain sight from early on in the series. The dangerous fairy hunter Mr. Crocker is in fact not a fairy hunter at all but rather a method actor fairy himself.

[@Dragonlove3]

Hi butch I would more videos like because This will be my first Semester in a animation class at MATC college . Also this will be my first time I’ll be able animation my characters moving around that I draw. This would help a lot us creators that need to know what we Will need to have after we get our first job as creator. This is not my first time watching your videos on KZbin I have always been a fan of all your shows but I real like the fairly odd parents & danny phantom the most. Sense I was a kid l watch the fairly odd parents because I had the same color hair as Timmy turner & the his fairy godparents too this made it feel more comfortable for me in the really world.
