Theodore tries to motivate an animator with bad posture.

Join the ‘Danny Holt Cartoons’ Discord Server!

Hey, everyone! At the behest of some viewers, I’ve started a Discord Server. Right now it’s pretty sparse, but it’ll be a nice place to meet folks and complain about how long it takes for Danny Holt to finish a cartoon. Just click the link above!

I’m still plugging away at new proje...

Bat Boy Footage

No, this isn't the next cartoon I'm making. A friend of mine is directing a production of the Bat Boy: The Musical. He's commissioned me to produce a few short video clips for the show--more cutout-slideshow stuff than actual animation.

They're not done yet, but these are the firs...

Sketchbook: Gam-Gam Adventures

A silly, quick video based on a random Tik-Tok comment. Re-using music from my old short film, "Face and Hands".

Sorry for the abundance of sketch videos lately. I've been swamped with non-personal work. It's a pain, but it's gotta be done. These videos are quick to turn around in my free t...

New Sketchbook Video: Porky Pig's 90th

Last week marked the 90th anniversary of Porky Pig's debut. This week will see the release of, "The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie" which stars Porky and Daffy Duck. I'm a Looney Tunes dweeb, so (while I'm finishing my cartoon about my chronic headaches) I made a lil something.

Mini-Toon: After Valentine's Day

Shorter-than-a-short, this is a little thingy I made for social media. It'll be posted this evening. Within the next week I should have much more exciting things to share early.

Thanks for your patience, hope you had a peaceful V-Day

New Theodore (Early Access)

Here's the new Theodore cartoon! It's the longest one yet. Hope you enjoy it! Not sure what it'll be called when it's up on YouTube. If you have any ideas, let me know!

-Danny "Deep Sleeper" Holt

Preview: 2 Minutes of Theodore

I'm no good at following my own directions. My idea with the new Theodore cartoon was too make it longer, but with very limited animation. That way I could have more dialogue, but produce it in the same amount of time.

Yet, here I am (nearly finished with the thing) and it's certainly the b...

Preview: New Theodore!

Here is a sneak peek at the new Theodore cartoon. I'm currently animating it--these are some of the storyboards. It shouldn't be too long of a wait for this one. I'm aiming for this weekend or early next week.

I didn't want to spoil the whole cartoon, but this is a pretty good idea of where...

New Video: Sketchbook

A new video, adding voices to random drawings I found my old sketch books. It'll be released to the rest of the world pretty soon--honestly I'm just trying to tide everyone over while I finish a new Theodore cartoon.

Look for that in the next week-or-so. After that? A fake Tylenol commerci...

Theodore Gets Existential

A (very short) new Theodore video that I just finished up. You folks get to see it early, of course.

My plan is to make short little clips like these in-between more substantial Theodore cartoons. We'll see how well that goes.

Hope you enjoy!

-Danny "Lame Tamer" Holt

Merry Christmas!

I provided a special guest voice in this comic dub by Jarvis Bailey (you can check him out on YouTube).

It’s a classic Christmas comic by Ty Templeton. Jarvis did all the editing (and a great job at that).

I hope you’re having some Happy Holidays—I look forward sharing some more...

The Making of my Silly Little Batman Cartoon

I spent a year making it. I might as well spend fifteen minutes talking about it--

(Note: I was a fool, and didn't adjust the shutter speed on my camera, so there's a slight flickering to the background light through some of the on-camera portions. My apologies. Next time? Total darkness.)<...

Early Access: BATMAN Cartoon

I have (finally) finished my silly-little Batman cartoon.

I really want to thank you all for your patience with this one. While I've been able to complete many other projects this past year, I've been wanting to finish this one all along.

I couldn't do it without you! I mean. I could....

Long Lost Animation (vol. 2)

Making cartoons all-by-yourself is exhausting. And time consuming. Your support means a lot to me. I'm sorry it takes so long in-between new animations.

As I wrap up a pretty big project this week, I'm very excited to get back to making quick videos. Little one-off videos, and returns of so...

Witch Hazel (with special guest star)

Hey everyone!

I’d imagine most of you saw this on social media, but I wanted to preserve it here too. It was really cool to make this, because it features the voice of Kaitlyn Robrock.

If you don’t know, she’s a very accomplished Voice Actor (among other things, she’s the of...

Drawing: Zoey Zookeeper

A comic book-y drawing of Zoey and Theodore. Maybe I’ll end up turning it into a painting (when I have more free time).

Theodore Answers Your Questions (no. 1)

Here for you (my favorite people) a few hours before the rest of the world can see it, is my newest video. Theodore takes his first look at his viewer mail, and clears the air.

You'll get a look at the making of this video real soon. So, if you have any questions/comments about it, let me k...

New Video (Early Access)

I'm Gay, and Aladdin is one of my favorite Disney movies, so I made this. And you kind, wonderful people get to see it before the rest of the world! Those chumps might get it tomorrow night (or Thursday). Because they're not cool-and-hip like you are!

As a general update:

1. I'm just ...

Exclusive: Diet Coke Song

This video was intended for the public. In the end, there didn't seem to be much interest, and I get veeery self conscious about the songs I write. A cartoon flopping is one thing, but when people aren't digging a song? It makes my skin crawl.

Long story short, I'm leaving it here for you g...

New Cartoon! (Shower Psycho)

This was made as part of a friend’s larger project. Not sure when I’ll be able to post it publicly, so for a while it will an exclusive to you Patrons!

Enjoy this animation (I’m probably not suppossed to post yet)!

-Danny “Glam Ham” Holt

New Cartoon (Early Access)

Hey! This was a quickie cartoon...doesn't make a ton of sense. But I'm happy with how it came out. It'll be released to the public soon, but for now--it's all yours.

Thanks again for your support. Real, longer cartoons still being worked on.

-Danny "Bug Button" Holt

Theodore Painting Timelapse!

Just trying to make quick, little things so the various algorithms don’t forget about me while I work on the big stuff.

-Danny “Total Tongue” Holt

New Video (Early)

This will probably be out in a few hours, so it's not much of a preview...but it's not much a video, either!

Just a short little thing to make sure my accounts aren't dormant for too long between cartoons. After all, it takes to do 1,000 drawings of a Koala.

Thank you as always, see y...

What's the Hold Up?!

I'm close to finishing my Batman cartoon (finally) and I want to thank you all for your patience. Your continued support while I work on longer projects means the world to me. I wanted to give you some idea as to why this particular cartoon is taking so long. So, I cut together some of the non-jo...

(kinda) Exclusive: Theodore Anniversary Cartoon!

It’s been one year since the first Theodore cartoon was released. Needless to say, I really love the character, and I’m glad people enjoy him.

To celebrate I threw together this (very quick) cartoon. This is the uncropped, HD version. I don’t think I’ll be putting it on YouTube. It�...

New Cartoon!

It’s a brand new Theodore cartoon. My Batman animation will be done shortly, followed by a bunch of quick, little projects.

In the meantime, please enjoy this Theodore animation. The one-year-anniversary of the first Theodore cartoon is coming up next week, and I plan to post a little som...

Emo Theodore

As I work on inking another real cartoon, please enjoy this doodle of Theodore.

New Theodore Cartoon (Public)

I shared the cartoon earlier. But here’s the public version, that you can send to your friends and enemies.

NEW CARTOON (Early Access)

Before the rest of the world sees it--here is my new cartoon. Thank you, you special, vastly superior people.
