Phantom Animation in August

Half-human, half-ghost, all hero. One boy's story about teenage adventure, the perils of growing up and of course, ghosts, Danny Phantom is once again set to thrill viewers with an entire week of all new episodes. With a devoted following of the program and of the program's creator, Butch Hartman, Nickelodeon is additionally scheduling to air an all-new Danny Phantom television movie entitled "Phantom Planet." The television movie pits Vlad Plasimus against Danny, whom on top of having to troubleshoot being turned into Danny Fenton permanently, has to deal with an asteroid (jarred loose by Vlad) from destroying the planet.

The new episodes will premiere all week long from Monday, August 20th through Friday, August 24th 2007 at 4:00pm each day. The television movie "Phantom Planet" will premiere on that Friday evening from 8:00pm-9:00pm. (All times ET/PT) Detailed synopses of the brand new episodes of the Danny Phantom television animation are listed below, as is a description of the TV movie. Please note that these synopses do contain minor plot spoilers for each episode of programming. Danny Phantom is a Nicktoon and is produced at the Nickelodeon Animation Studios in Burbank, California.

Monday, August 20th -- "Eye for an Eye"
Danny and Vlad's game of revenge begins with childish pranks, and unfortunately for Danny, ends when Vlad decides to run for mayor of Amity Park. By overshadowing voters, Vlad wins the election in a landslide. The new mayor is eager to use his new power to make life as miserable as possible for Danny and his friends. He shuts down the Nasty Burger, outlaws technology, creates new school uniforms, and passes so many new laws in the name of "protecting the children" that Danny finds it impossible to go ghost. He even turns the townsfolk against Danny Phantom by painting him as an evil ghost. Completely outmaneuvered, Danny must find a way to outsmart Vlad and get back some of his freedom or Danny Phantom's career may be over.

Tuesday, August 21st -- "Boxed Up Fury"
The Box Ghost is tired of being unappreciated and ignored. He raids his warehouse for some boxes that might help him with his wimpy image, but none of the new boxes he unleashes scare anyone. Frustrated, he sneaks into a forbidden area of the Ghost Zone to steal the mythical Pandora's box. Soon, the Box Ghost is feared by all, because every time he opens Pandora's box a new evil attacks Amity Park. Each evil is worse than the one before. Danny must track down the box's owner, Pandora, a colorful old woman who doesn't take any sass from anyone. With Pandora's help, Danny works to put the Box Ghost back in his place.

Wednesday, August 22nd -- "Frightmare"
It's a whole new world for Danny Fenton – he's getting A's, he's the quarterback of the football team, he and Tucker are best pals with Dash, and Sam is his girlfriend – and then he wakes up from a nap. He finds himself wearing a strange headset and floating in the far reaches of the Ghost Zone. He frees himself and heads home to find that Amity Park's been conquered by Nocturn, the ghost of sleep. Danny manages to wake Sam, Tucker and Jazz, and together they set out to conquer this new, powerful ghost. While Tucker and Jazz set about destroying the machine that's keeping everyone asleep, Danny and Sam overshadow a sleeping Nocturn and invade his dreams.
