Creator, executive producer and animator, Butch Hartman left Nickelodeon after a 20 year-career in which he spearheaded four successful series including the multiple Emmy award-nominated “The Fairly OddParents,” “Danny Phantom,” “T.U.F.F. Puppy” and “Bunsen is a Beast.” With his wife Julieann, they launched their own online kid’s destination called “THE NOOG NETWORK” in 2015 and in 2019, partnering with Pocketwatch, Butch launched “Hobby Kids Adventures” on TH-cam with nearly every episode reaching 1,000,000 views within days of premiering, and The Hobby Kids toys available at Walmart, Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s all across the nation.
Butch’s personal TH-cam channel “Butch Hartman” has 840K subscribers and is growing steadily. His podcast “Speech Bubble”is currently closing in on 50,000 subscribers and his Tik Tok account has over 2 million followers.
Butch and Julieann met in Hollywood doing stand-up comedy. Executive producer of “The Garden” with husband Butch, Julieann worked in Hollywood as an actress through the 80’s and was on the writing staff of “Jeopardy” for 14 years. Julieann is the founder of “Healing Journeys Today” on TH-cam with 16K subscribers and co-founder with Butch of “Hartman House” a 501(c)(3) based in California. She also ministers as a Bible study teacher and pastor at Church in the Park in Woodland Hills, California.
The Hartman’s biggest endeavor to date is creating an entertainment platform called Oaxis Entertainment. They also help, mentor, strategize and encourage individuals through Vision: Possible, and Butch’s book “Mad Hustle: How to Pitch and Sell Shows in Hollywood” draws upon Butch’s 35 years in the entertainment business.

Great interview; great questions and answers! Heard about the garden cartoon a few months ago on Facebook and thought it was cool that someone was making a fun Christian cartoon. So glad Instagram recommended your post about this interview. Really inspiring and always cool to hear and see God moving through people in entertainment. I love to sing/write songs and stories for TV series. I hope to share God’s love through that in the entertainment industry someday, like you guys!

Outstanding! Thanks for the very kind comment! I wish you all the best in your project!
