I was a fan of Fairly Odd Parents, and when I saw the previews for Danny Phantom, I thought it would be a fun ride. Honestly, I did not like the first episode at all, but I kept watching, because there was something about this show that excited me. And I am so glad I did! This show is engaging on a level that surpasses Fairly Odd Parents in some ways. This show is more real-life oriented, despite its affair with the "Ghost World." The level of continuity in on-par with most adult live-action shows, and the layers of the show keep one watching and engaged.

This show has what few other animated shows do: an ever growing and adapting storyline. Half-human/half-ghost, Danny Fenton is an awkward 14 year old friend yearning for the attention of the local popular girl, Paulina. He spends his days trying to survive high school, and his nights fighting ghosts and protecting his city while attempting to avoid the radar of his ghost-hunting parents.

Any spare time is spent with his two best friends, Sam, a goth chick with conscious and consideration. She's a rebel, but also the most clear-headed of Danny's two best friends. Tucker is technology savvy, yet socially challenged. He and Sam closely guard Danny's secret. As does Danny's big sister Jazz, who is most accurately described as an overachiever who thinks she is an adult.

I love this show because there are so many overlapping story lines going on at once. There are romances, confrontations, loose ends that you know will someday be tied, and fun battle sequences, not to mention great humor.

Danny Phantom reminds me of the old Spiderman cartoons, because Danny always has a clever punchline when defeating his arch-rivals and stuffing them in the Fenton Thermos. Yes, it is a thermos that holds ghosts. Danny's parents are the most inept ghost hunters in the world (especially his father), but some of their gadgets are actually useful.

If you think that animation is only for children, I challenge you to give this show a chance. Yes, some of the humor is oriented towards the young ones, but like Fairly Odd Parents, there are many jokes that go over their heads, and a complexity that an adult can really appreciate.

That's the one word to describe what was an amazing movie. I watched it last night on DVD with my family, and it was phenomenal. The script allows you to bond with the characters, to grow to love them, and to care about them. The visuals are amazing, and the acting spectacular. It's just a really great movie and I wish I had seen it in theatres. I was completely blown away, and hope to see the movie again!

The character Joshua is just amazing, and wonderful portrayed by the actor. It was a great job. I had tears rising to my eyes in parts, and laughter spilling out of my mouth at others. The music was great, and the message phenomenal. From my point of view as a Christian it was just amazing. The little symbols throughout the movie were amazing. The heart, the glass. It was all just amazing. The healings of so many people's hearts, minds and souls. It was just amazing.

Please see this movie. You are truly missing out if you don't. I've seen some Christian movies, and this one is the best I've seen yet. It just touches your heart and soul in so many ways. God's love is so awesome!

It's a movie that everyone can appreciate and enjoy, and it doesn't utilize violence, sex, drugs, or explicit language to accomplish that. I love this movie, and I hope you will too!
