Butch Hartman

Elmer Earl "Butch" Hartman IV (born January 10, 1965) is an American animator, executive producer, animation director, storyboard artist, producer, and creator of the hit animated series, The Fairly OddParents, as well as Danny Phantom and TUFF Puppy. He is currently working on the new nickelodeon series Bunsen Is A Beast. He was also a part-time actor in the 1980s. He also voices various characters, such as the father of Trixie Tang, the school bus driver, Dr. Rip Studwell, and the farmer on TV. Butch Hartman has been writing, directing, and story boarding episodes since the "Oh Yeah! Cartoons" animated shorts. Since he was very young he has loved drawing and one day at school he drew a very good picture, which the teacher displayed on the board.[citation needed] All of his three shows employ the same style that involves thick outlines and thin in lines as well as the "flat-chinned children" and "Hartman Hips" drawing system. This style was inspired by that of the Hanna-Barbera Animation Company which he worked for.
