Veteran Composer Guy Moon Killed in Car Crash at 63
A renowned composer best known for his extensive work on Nickelodeon shows has been tragically taken from the world. Emmy-nominated Guy Moon, 63, passed away on Thursday after being involved in a car accident in Los Angeles County.
Moon's musical legacy will be deeply missed by fans of beloved kids' shows such as "The Fairly OddParents," "Danny Phantom," "Big Time Rush," and "SpongeBob SquarePants." His iconic songs, including the catchy theme song for "Danny Phantom" and popular tracks like "Bartmania!" and "Shiny Teeth," will remain etched in the minds of many who grew up watching these shows.
Born in Wisconsin on February 7, 1962, Moon began his musical journey at the University of Arizona School of Music before moving to California. He made a name for himself as a talented composer, earning four Emmy nominations between 2002 and 2004 for his work on "The Fairly OddParents."
Moon's impact went beyond kids' entertainment. His credits span over 70 works across film, television series, animated series, TV movies, and shorts. He also worked on notable films like "The Brady Bunch Movie" and the producer credits for "The Black Knight" and "Dr. Dolittle 2." Moon's music was showcased not only in animated children's shows but also in the world of live-action film.
Industry friends and colleagues are mourning his loss, including director Albie Hecht, who recently collaborated with Moon on the premiere event of "Ryan's World The Movie: Titan Universe Adventure" in Los Angeles. Hartman himself has been left heartbroken, saying there were no words adequate enough to express his grief after losing a friend, brother, and family member.
A celebration of life is planned for Moon's birthday, February 7, in both Los Angeles and his home state of Wisconsin, where he will be deeply missed by those who knew him.

... I mean, Guy Moon was an awesome composer, right? He brought so much joy to our childhoods with those iconic Nickelodeon shows 
. It's crazy to think about all the Emmy nominations he earned – four in just a few years! 
That's insane.
It's wild that his music wasn't limited to just kids' shows – he worked on some big-name films too. He was super talented and always pushing the boundaries of what's possible in scoring.
. Losing someone as talented as Guy Moon is like losing a piece of our collective childhood magic 
. Let's take a moment to appreciate his legacy and celebrate his life, even though it was cut short 
.
Poor guy, it's just not right that he's gone so soon. I mean, 63 isn't old at all - like, my grandma is still kickin' it at 82 and she's been dealin' with more health issues than Guy was! 
Anyways, his music is def gonna be missed by a lot of people who grew up watchin' those Nickelodeon shows. I remember "Danny Phantom" was like, my fave show when I was a kid - that theme song is still stuck in my head lol! 
It's crazy to think about how much work he did across all these different mediums - film, TV, animation... the guy was a total Renaissance man, you know? 
I'm so glad they're plannin' this celebration of life for him on his birthday - it'll be a great way to honor his memory and bring people together. Rest in peace, Guy 
From "The Fairly OddParents" to "SpongeBob SquarePants", his songs are still so catchy! 
It's not every day you hear about someone with such an impact on the entertainment industry. RIP, Guy Moon... may your legacy live on through the music we all loved 
Oh man, can't believe it 
. Guy Moon was like the unsung hero of kids' TV, you know? Always churning out these catchy tunes that still get stuck in your head after all these years 
. I grew up watching "Danny Phantom" and "The Fairly OddParents" back in the day, and his songs were always the highlight for me 
. It's crazy that he had such a huge impact beyond just kids' shows - I mean, who doesn't love a good "Shiny Teeth" song? 
But seriously, it's time to celebrate his life and music instead of mourning his loss 
. Let's get this party started for Guy Moon! 
Guy Moon was like a part of our childhoods, you know? I remember watching "The Fairly OddParents" all the time and that theme song still gets stuck in my head 
. It's crazy that he's gone, but at least we have all these amazing memories of his work 
.
and now Guy Moon is gone 
anyway, what's the deal with those car crash celebrations in LA? like, don't they have hospitals or something?
