The most recent Animal Crossing fan project to display how far players are willing to go in showing love for old properties is Danny Phantom. YouTuber ecokitti uploaded a video where they, in collaboration with UltimashodowX, recreated the Danny Phantom opening. It comes in as another Animal Crossing: New Horizons animated intro recreation with Cartoon Network’s Adventure Time getting the same treatment last month.

Danny Phantom was a beloved mid-2000s Nickelodeon animated series following the titular character and his ghostly superpowers. Watching the Animal Crossing version dubs in the show’s theme song so the plot is quickly presented. The video itself, while using as much captured Animal Crossing: New Horizons footage as possible, is still willing to use some editing magic to get effects resembling the original intro.
One of the cuter elements of the video is using Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ very own wandering ghost Wisp. Players are familiar with helping Wisp find his pieces after unintentionally scaring him during the night. Those who help the frightful ghost are treated to a difficult decision of choosing between “something new” or “something expensive.”
Animal Crossing: New Horizon recreations has become a genre in and of itself. Despite Animal Crossing: New Horizons not being a complete sandbox, players have been able to do magic with the tools given to them. Recreating TV show intros are just one way fans are using their islanders. The Gravity Falls intro remade in New Horizons that came out just a week after launch was one of the earlier projects in this style.
Beyond intros, players have actually used their entire islands as a canvas to recreate famous pop culture locations. One player took it beyond just island terraforming and costume designs to actually remake an entire gameplay segment. Last month, saw YouTube channel The Nooksters remake the Pokemon Blue opening with Villagers as surrogate Pokemon.
As for Danny Phantom, this recreation might be salt in the wound for fans who still clamor for a Danny Phantom reboot. The show’s popularity has not wavered after its abrupt end in 2007. While it is unlikely much will change in that front, hopefully ecokitti releases the costume designs for series fans.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons is available now on Nintendo Switch.
