Danny Phantom is an American animated action adventure television
series created by Butch Hartman for Nickelodeon. The series follows a
teenage boy who, after an accident with an unpredictable portal
between the human world and the "Ghost Zone", becomes a human-ghost
hybrid and takes on the task of saving his town (and the world) from
subsequent ghost attacks using an evolving variety of supernatural
powers. He is aided in his quest by his two best friends Sam Manson
and Tucker Foley, and later, his sister Jazz, who for most of the
series' run are among the only people who know of his double
life.Throughout its run, Danny Phantom received five Annie Award
nominations and generally positive reviews from critics and audiences,
with praise primarily directed at its ensemble cast and comic
book-influenced themes and storyline. Additionally, Danny Phantom has
spawned video games, home video releases, toys, and various other
merchandise.Danny Phantom centers on the life and adventures of Danny
Fenton, a fourteen-year-old boy living in the small town of Amity
Park. He lives with his ghost-hunting parents, Jack and Maddie, and
his overprotective but caring sixteen-year-old sister, Jazz. Upon
pressure from his two best friends, Sam Manson and Tucker Foley, Danny
decides to explore the Ghost Portal created by his parents in their
attempt to bridge the human world and the Ghost Zone (the parallel
universe in which ghosts reside), that when plugged in, failed to
work. Once inside, he inadvertently presses the "On" button (which his
parents naively failed to do), thus activating the Portal and infusing
his DNA with ectoplasm, transforming him into a half-ghost.Danny, who
calls himself "Danny Phantom" in ghost form, develops the ability to
fly, to become invisible, to become intangible, and to "overshadow"
(possess and control) people after first learning how to switch back
and forth at will between his ghost and human forms. Over time, he
develops much stronger abilities, such as his Ghost Ray (a
concentrated blast of energy he fires from his hand), his Ghostly Wail
(an intensely powerful scream with sonic capabilities that knocks back
anything caught in its path), and even cryokinesis. Danny is initially
frightened by his new abilities and has little control over them, but
he soon learns to use them to protect his town from malevolent ghosts.
Danny turns to the life of a superhero, using his powers to rid his
hometown from the various ghosts who begin to plague it and are almost
always brought into the world thanks to the sporadic activation of the
Fentons' Ghost Portal. Sam, Tucker, and Jazz are Danny's primary
allies in his ghost-fighting activities, and help him keep his
ghost-half a secret.
