It’s back-to-school time for Danny Fenton, Butch Hartman’s young ghost buster who is also part apparition himself. In Danny Phantom: The Ultimate Enemy, a new hour-long special scheduled to air on Nickelodeon Friday, Sept. 16 at 8 p.m. (ET/PT), our hero takes on Eric Roberts (TV’s Less Than Perfect, HBO’s Spawn) as the voice of Danny’s most powerful adversary. David Carradine (Kill Bill Vo. 2, TV’s Kung Fu) also guest stars.
When hitting the books and tackling specters proves too much for Danny, he decides to cheat on his Career Aptitude Test and risks turning to the dark side forever. When a group of Ghost Zone inhabitants known as The Observants sees a disturbing change in the boy, they send a time-controlling ghost named Clockwork (Carradine) to Amity Park to get him back on the right path before he’s defeated by "The Ultimate Enemy."
Leading up to the special’s debut, young fans have been going to Nick.com to play The Danny Phantom Ultimate Enemy Face-Off, a game that allows players to create their own ghosts and compete online with others. This week, Nickelodeon has been randomly selecting contestant ghosts to be featured on air.
Creator/exec producer Hartman wrote and directed episodes of Cartoon Network’s Dexter’s Laboratory, Cow & Chicken and Johnny Bravo before moving to Nickelodeon with Oh Yeah! Cartoons! and his own creation, The Fairly OddParents. Danny Phantom is produced at Nickelodeon Animation Studio in Burbank, Calif.
