So awesome!! I didn't know any part of the original theme was actually worked on beyond the animatic! Thank you so much for finding this and compiling it!
This is really cool! Never made the connection that the bits of animation from the very first DP ad were actually pieces of unused animation from the old intro !
@@natedeanmaan2 More specifically, they use the instrumental for this opening as the credits theme, which is a neat way for them to recycle their assets.
The fact that bits and pieces of the original animatic *were* fully animated (And from throughout the song at that!) *does* strongly point towards the whole thing having been animated. It's likely that it got scrapped at the last minute and quickly replaced with the rap that we all came to know and love as kids. I'm doubtful that Nickelodeon would've had segments of the animatic animated **just** for use in promos, animation is expensive! TV animation especially so. Nick probably took what they could from the completed song to use as promotional material as a way of "recycling" the animation - Getting there moneys worth for it, so to speak. I've had my fingers crossed for years that someday the entire original theme in all of it's animated glory will drop, courtesy of someone who worked on DP proper. Lost Media is most often found that way.
I'm doing a liveblog and I remembered all these lyrics and am now just trying to find the source! Memorized this as a kid when I was first getting into online fandom. Edit: I got two words wrong 😂Pretty good considering, though, right? I think I must have learned this in 2009ish? When I was 15 or so.
Here's the lyrics. EARLY LYRICS: A kid who's life is changed Molecules rearranged Ghosts are so deranged (He's gonna catch 'em all cause he's Danny Phantom, Phantom) Spirits don't stand a chance Senses all enhanced Powers so advanced (He's gonna catch 'em all cause he's Danny Phantom, Phantom, Phantom) Unleashing all of the freaks Onto his hometown streets Now everyone he'll beat (He's a phantom, he's a phantom) Flying right through the wall (Through the wall) You can't see him at all If they are big or small or tall (Big) He's gonna catch 'em all cause he's Danny Phantom Gonna catch 'em all cause he's Danny Phantom (Gonna catch 'em all cause he's Danny Phantom) Gonna catch 'em all cause he's Danny Phantom

Excellent work! It's really cool to see the original intro like this! :D
This version is too awesome. The should’ve at least used it in the credits
They do. It's part of the outro if you listen carefully

That was awesome! Never knew there were alternate lyrics!
Awesome! Danny Phantom is my favorite Nick Toon show.
Ending of the pilot
Danny Phantom: Oh Yeah Cartoons!
I think the scene when Danny falling or coming toward the camera at the beginning of the intro also has been found.
There's a Pilot out there I know
Maybe there's a fully animated version of this intro out there somewhere

It’d be cool if someone animated the full thing.
He's gonna catch 'em all cause He's Danny Phantom
way more cool

Does anyone believe this actually was finished? I’m guessing partially.
Lyrics?
Here's the lyrics.
EARLY LYRICS:
A kid who's life is changed
Molecules rearranged
Ghosts are so deranged (He's gonna catch 'em all cause he's Danny Phantom, Phantom)
Spirits don't stand a chance
Senses all enhanced
Powers so advanced (He's gonna catch 'em all cause he's Danny Phantom, Phantom, Phantom)
Unleashing all of the freaks
Onto his hometown streets
Now everyone he'll beat
(He's a phantom, he's a phantom)
Flying right through the wall (Through the wall)
You can't see him at all
If they are big or small or tall (Big)
He's gonna catch 'em all cause he's Danny Phantom
Gonna catch 'em all cause he's Danny Phantom (Gonna catch 'em all cause he's Danny Phantom)
Gonna catch 'em all cause he's Danny Phantom
Thanks
