Peter John Hannan (born August 13, 1954) wears many hats: producer, animator, singer-songwriter, educator, and author. He is the mind behind the Nickelodeon cartoon CatDog, whose theme song he both sang and wrote. His television work also includes serving as producer, story editor, and songwriter for the PBS Kids series Let's Go Luna!, and writing for shows like Figure It Out and Pound Puppies.

Hannan writes and illustrates children's books, including Petlandia, My Big Mouth: 10 Songs I Wrote That Almost Got Me Killed, and The Greatest Snowman in the World, among others. He co-founded FutureVision, a company that produced a TV concert series featuring blues musicians like Muddy Waters, Albert King, and Buddy Guy. Beyond these projects, he has taught art, writing, animation, and creativity workshops for students from preschool through college, worked as a graphic designer and art director, and created illustrations for magazines, newspapers, and advertising.
