Danny Phantom

Micro-Management

Season 2, Episode 11, Aired 1/27/06

Episode Summary

Although Danny Phantom can perform extraordinary physical feats, Danny Fenton is still something of a weakling. For this reason, Dash is assigned as Danny's "fitness buddy" to help him prepare for the Presidential Fitness Test at school. When Skulker appears at FentonWorks on his usual hunt, Danny Phantom, Dash, and Skulker are accidentally hit with Jack's new "Fenton Crammer," which shrinks them all to a half-inch tall! Worse yet, Danny's ghost powers don't work so well in his tiny form. Now, Danny and Dash must rely on each other's brains and natural physical abilities to get to the FentonWorks Emergency Op-Center and reverse the shrink ray before Skulker and his brand new fully-powered ecto-skeleton catches up to them.moreless

O.K. That was a pretty good episode. But, it seems to be old somehow. It was a AWESOME episode, but it got boring too quick. Normally, a Danny Phantom episode has to be watched by me like, 7 or 8 times to get boring on me! Like take Phantom Planet for example, I Tivo'ed it and watched like 3 times in a row the first morning! Not to mention rewinding the kiss scene. I wish Micro-Management was as interesting as that. But, things that are the same get too old too quick. But, this is a great episode, but not may favorite.moreless

This was an awesome episode! The animation was phantastic and it was all SO adventurous! I loved how Danny was willing to save Dash despite everything- Danny's the kind of hero who gives everyone a second chance instead of picking and chosing who he saves. I liked the

"I couldn't have wished for a better fitness buddy. Maybe you're not so bad after all."

"Thanks! Hey, what do you say we stick around here...and stuff Fenton's head in the toliet? Just for giggles? *laughs* "

Danny: *Shrinks him*

Dash: Noo! I don't do puny!

LOL. I didn't like the idea of Sam being able to do things Danny/Tucker couldn't (at least at the beginning) since there's more than enough girl power in the series. But awesome ep, anyway! :) I loved how Dash showed respect and admiration towards Danny Phantom, too.moreless

Micro Management is an amazing episode of Danny Phantom. I only saw it once and it was excellent. Although I haven't seen the first 5 minutes, I loved the rest. In this episode, Danny and Dash must be fitness partners. Danny, Dash, and Skulker become very small and have many adventures. Danny is Danny Phantom when they are shrunk, and Dash doesn't know about Danny's secret identity. Sam and Tucker become fitness partners, and Sam is coaching Tucker on making him improve in fitness. Later on in the episode, Danny and Dash become regular sized and Skulker stays micro small.moreless

Danny and Dash are shrunk down to a small size. It is up to them to forget their differences and work together to Skulker off their path, and thier size back to normal.moreless

This episode was really plotted greatly and the relationship between Dash and Danny Phantom is nicely shown. But, I wasn't quite fond of the rat for some reason, and I couldn't help but let that stupid animal bug me. Besides that, nonetheless, it was thrilling how Danny's powers were running out and he had to race aganist it to get back to normal size beofre his final transformation into changing back to a normal Danny Fenton. In the end, Danny and Dash work together and return back to their normal size and, back at school, Danny ends up passing his fitness test. Though it wasn't my favorite, I enjoyed this episode.moreless

This is one of my favorite episodes. I loved the idea of Danny and Dash working together to get up to the op-center to make themselves life-size while fighting Skulker. My favorite parts include: Danny and Dash getting blasted to the porch, Dash telling Danny to fly, Danny and Dash hiding in the hole while Jack is playing golf, Skulker riding the mouse, Sam passing Danny and Tucker while running, Tucker ricking everything to get the new PDA, Jack saying that Danny is as fit as our 60 year old president, etc. I loved the whole episode, we'll just leave it at that, lol.moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- In the episode "The Million Dollar Ghost," Sam could barely bike and said she hated exercise. Now she is one of the most fit people and doesn't mind exercise. Edit
- When Skulker is sucked into the Fenton Thermos in the beginning, his suit would definitely not fit. Edit
- If Dash has GPA of a D-, why is he on the football team? Normally, sports teams have strict guidlines of how bad someone's grades can be and still be on a team. Edit
Notes
ADD NOTES
- Title Picture: Shrunken Danny and Dash are being chased through the grass by Skulker on his mouse. Edit
- We learn that Danny likes lime and vinegar chips, because they were seen opened on his desk. Edit
- Look hard: Notice that when Tucker & Sam leave the recreation center, the skin color of Sam's face changes to a brown tint-ish color. Edit
Quotes
ADD QUOTES
- Danny's flying and suddenly loses altitude and crashes Danny: That's never happened before... must've been the wind shear. Later, when he can't phase through a wall Danny: Okay... can't blame the wind this time. Something's wrong. Edit
- Skulker: (After climbing up the pizza to reach Danny and Dash; as Dash is "uncramming" Danny) You can't escape me, I'm faster than you! I'm stronger than you! (About to reach Danny) And you're weak, weak! (Dash pushes the trigger and Danny becomes big again; Danny transforms into Danny Phantom) Danny: (To Skulker, who is still small) Actually, I'm a lot stronger than I thought. (Picks up Skulker; flicks him into the freezer as he screams; closes the freezer door shut) Edit
- Danny: (Outside; trying to get away from Dash when Skulker attacked) Ahh! Ghost! Run! Run, it's a ghost! (Starts running) Jack: (In the Op-Center; about to eat a slice of pizza; hears Danny screaming) Sounds like Danny's in mortal danger from some ghost. (Slams down pizza) Cool! (Piicks up the Fenton Crammer) I get to play with my new weapon! I mean, uh... save Danny. Edit

ADD ALLUSIONS
- Presidential Fitness Test: Name and Appearance The fitness test in this episode is actually a test taken in all grades of P.E. at the end of the year to test a student's physical abilty and to make sure they're up to standards. There are three rankings in the test (from lowest to highest): Average, National, and Presidential. To achieve a Presidental, you must get the top score on all your tests, one "National" score and you get a National passing grade, more than one National and you get an Average score. Edit
- Dash: (After he and Danny enter the mouse hole) What kind of mouse hole is this? Where's the matchbox sofa and the coffee table made from a spool of thread? Dash is making a reference to Tom and Jerry, a classic cartoon about the rivalry of a cat and mouse. Jerry, the mouse, had a mouse hole with a matchbox sofa and coffe table made from a spool of thread. Edit
- Danny, Dash, & Skulker: (Shrunken) This episode has many references to the 1989 movie, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, including Danny and Dash traveling through the grass, and Skulker about to be eaten by Jack. Edit
