Name an animated film or tv show that you like. Why do you think you like it?  Is it the characters, the animation techniques? Include this in the journal post. Research the studio/artist that created it as well as the date it was created and include this information in your post.

An animated TV show that I’m enjoying at the moment is Danny Phantom a show from my childhood that just never seems to lose its touch even with me now in college. The reason why I like that program is due to the designs of the characters, along with the personalities of each character how those personalities can create conflict with one another, and how some of these characters you may not think would work together work very well even with the difference in personalities. The man who made the show was Butch Hartman he worked for Nickelodeon from 1997 to 2018  at the time when producing Danny Phantom as well as making Fairly Odd Parents at the same time. Both are some of the few faces standing with Spongebob to be part of the branding of Nickelodeon. Danny Phantom was released on April 3rd, 2004, and ran for a little over three years getting 3 seasons ending on August 24th, 2007. Similar to Fairly OddParents which is one of  Butch Hartman’s other projects he was working on at the time. Danny Phantom was a hand-drawn animation similar to the other shows Hartman has worked on.

My favorite show would be The Amazing World of Gumball. It is a sitcom made by Ben Bocquelet and aired first on Cartoon Network on May 3rd, 2011. I used to watch all the episodes when they came on as a kid. The two main characters, Gumball and Darwin, were entertaining and I enjoyed the different art styles and current media references they added in certain episodes.

An animated tv show that I like is The Owl House, created by Dana Terrace. The Owl House was aired on Disney on January 10, 2020. The things I like most about the show are the characters, the animation itself, and the story/plot. As the show goes on and time has passed in the actual story, you can see how each character grew and changed. There are scenes where the animation becomes smooth and looks really cool, such as most of the fight scenes and the dance scene. My favorite scene was the final fight scene between Luz and Belos in the last season, season 3. I like this scene because shows how much Luz has grown and learned throughout the series. I like the story because at first, the goal of Luz seems simple enough to achieve. Then as Luz stays in the demon realm longer, she runs into more trouble and her goals change and get more difficult throughout the series. Since Luz’s goal changes, it makes you want to watch more and figure out what happens next.
