Right after Nick renewed Butch for a two year contract he started overspending the budget. First he switched to a much more expensive form of animation that was costing almost double what the old animation costed.

Then he started hiring voice actors wihtout Nick's consent.

Then when Reign Storm was put in production he over spent the budget by over 20,000 dollars

He asked the executives for 2 million dollars for advertising Ultimate Enemy. They gave him the money on the grtounds that it would take in over 5 million in the GBA game and Burger King toys. But after paying royalties to THQ and Burger King Nick only made under 50,000. Nick was getting fed up with DP costing so much so they said if BH got merchandisng rights he could continue the show. He tried several companies, but word had got around of DP's marketing failure so they all turned him down.

Nick couldn't get him out of his contract so they agreed to let him finish seasons 2 and 3. But they stopped airing episodes frequently and gave it little to no airtime unless there was money invested.

And that is the reason Danny Phantom was cancelled.

And if you are wondering why FOP was renewed, its because they use an incredibly cheap form of animation that costs less than 1/4th of what DP costs and FOP makes millions in merchandise.


And Butch Hartman only worked on ONE Season 3 episode!!!!
