Michael Foust recently sat down with animator Butch Hartman and his producer wife, Julieann, to discuss their new Christian animated kids' show, The Garden.
Emmy-nominated animator Butch Hartman made his name with a series of Nickelodeon television hits, including the long-running show The Fairly Odd Parents. He's now using his talents to spread the Good News of Christ.
Hartman and his wife, Julieann, recently released the Christian-themed animated series The Garden, which follows best friends Lenny the Lion and Lucy the Lamb, who work inside a garden for God, who they call "The Boss." In each episode, He gives them an assignment and teaches them Scripture.
The Garden is available on The Garden app and various faith-based streaming platforms. The app features a curriculum, games, music and a shop. Butch Hartman also worked on The Garden Children's Bible, published by Thomas Nelson. It includes illustrations from Hartman and characters from the series.
