Guy Moon, the talented composer behind the music for many beloved classic Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network animated series, has passed away at the age of 63. His family announced his death on Facebook, stating he died in a car accident on Thursday morning. Moon’s music was a defining part of several well-known shows, making this a significant loss for both his family and the animation world.
Our family is deeply saddened by the loss of our beloved father and husband. While we are heartbroken, we find strength in the values he taught us and will honor his memory with courage. He left a lasting impact on so many lives and will be greatly missed by his family and countless others who knew him.
RIP Guy Moon (1962-2026)
I’m really excited to hear that the Moon family is planning a celebration of Guy’s life on his birthday, February 7th! They’re holding events both here in Los Angeles and back in his hometown in Wisconsin, and I can’t wait to find out the details. As a longtime fan of animation, I especially appreciate all the incredible work Guy did for shows like The Fairly OddParents, Danny Phantom, and Johnny Test – he really left his mark on so many of my favorite cartoons over the years! It’s wonderful that his legacy will be remembered.
Moon received an Emmy nomination for his music on The Fairly OddParents, and he’s also composed for numerous other popular cartoons, including 2 Stupid Dogs, Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken, and The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy. Beyond The Fairly OddParents and Danny Phantom, he’s contributed to other Nickelodeon hits like Tak and the Power of Juju, T.U.F.F. Puppy, Big Time Rush, and Back at the Barnyard. If you grew up watching cartoons in the late 90s or 2000s, chances are you’re familiar with Moon’s work.
Guy Moon Had a Huge Impact on Animation
Though Moon became widely known in the late 1990s and 2000s for his work on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network, he’d been composing music for animation for years. One of his early projects was Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue, a well-remembered crossover event featuring characters from many different cartoons in the late 1980s. This special served as a public service announcement about the dangers of drugs and was a groundbreaking crossover that paved the way for similar projects in animation.
Beyond animation, Guy Moon began composing for live-action films and TV shows in 1983, including projects like Square Pegs, Creepozoids, and Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama. He’s likely best known for his work on The Brady Bunch Movie and its sequel, as well as The Crash. Moon enjoyed a long and successful career working in a variety of styles and formats, and ComicBook extends its deepest sympathies to his family and friends during this difficult time.
