Hey FOP Fans!
This past week we did our very first recording for our 2007 Season. Things are starting to get very exciting around here. It was great catching up with the very talented voice artists who help bring Timmy, Cosmo, and Wanda to life. So, here’s my question, how many of you think you have the chops to be a cartoon?! I asked Tara Strong, Daran Norris and Susanne Blakesley some questions about their job and I thought you’d get a kick out of the answers…

1. What do you do to prepare for your role? Or more specifically, how did you come up with your character’s voice?

Hey, gang! Butch here! Whew! It sure has been a while since I’ve entered the Blog-verse (my bad, so sorry) but I just wanted to let you know that everything is going great in FOP land! I’ll be in touch soon with more on upcoming episodes, but until then please enjoy this picture of the Crimson Chin. And, hey, who is your favorite Chin villain?

Thanks! -

God Bless - Butch

Hey everyone! My name’s Kevin Sullivan and I’m one of the writers on The Fairly Oddparents. Butch told you that there are a bunch of new Fairly Oddparents episodes in the works, so I thought I’d be the first to share with you a line of dialogue from the super top secret, hour-long special we’re writing right now, the big episode that will kick everything off. Are you ready? This is pretty huge. You might want to hold on to something. OK, here we go:

COSMO
Sorry!

Ta-dah! So what do you think? It’s big, isn’t it? Are you all on the edge of your seats? No? Not even close? I’m sorry I can’t share more with you, but trust me - this is a super cool new episode and someday soon you’ll be glad I didn’t spoil any of the surprises.

In the meantime, why don’t you share your favorite lines of dialogue [Read more…]

Hey, gang. Butch here again…

I know, I know this is the FOP Blog, but I couldn’t resist giving you guys a Danny Phantom image to look at. I figured I throw one on since he got nominated, too.

Thanks

Hey gang, Butch Hartman here -

Well, last night in beautiful Glendale, California a magical ceremony occured. It’s called the “Annie Awards” and it’s sort of the Academy Awards of the animation industry. The exciting news is that both of the shows I exec produce - The Fairly Oddparents and Danny Phantom - were nominated for awards! A super-talented artist friend of mine named Ben Balistreri was nominated for both character designs AND storyboarding for Danny Phantom and another awesomely talented artist pal named Shaunt Niggogosian was nominated for storyboarding for Danny Phantom, too. Unfortunately neither one of these incredible gentlemen won the Annie (Avatar and JUniper Lee beat them out) but I wanted to at least acknowledge their incredible accomplishments on Danny Phantom in a public forum. Without awesome artists like these two guys, great shows like Danny would never get made in the first place.

And the other great [Read more…]

Hey gang! Butch hartman here, the creator of The Fairly Oddparents and Danny Phantom. Just wanted to take a moment and welcome you all to the very first ever Fairly Oddparents Blog!
