Butch Hartman (The Fairly OddParents, Danny Phantom, The Garden Cartoon)

This week on Toon’d In!, Jim Cummings welcomes the wildly inventive and endlessly energetic Butch Hartman! A titan of television animation, Butch is best known as the creative force behind beloved Nickelodeon classics like The Fairly OddParents, Danny Phantom, T.U.F.F. Puppy, and Bunsen Is a Beast—shows that shaped a generation and redefined Saturday morning cartoons.

In this fast-paced and laughter-filled episode, Butch shares his journey from an eager young animator at Hanna-Barbera to becoming one of the most recognizable names in modern TV animation. He and Jim swap stories about voice acting chaos, late-night production miracles, and the creative risks that led to some of the most iconic characters in toon history.

From drawing Timmy Turner on a napkin to building an entire cartoon universe, Butch breaks down the power of humor, heart, and hustle in building stories that stick. Whether you’re a budding animator, a nostalgic 2000s kid, or just love a good behind-the-scenes look at the toon biz—this one’s a must-listen.
