Sowing Seeds of Faith: Nickelodeon’s Fairly OddParents Creator Launches Christ-Centered Movie for Kids
Butch Hartman, the mastermind behind Nickelodeon’s beloved animated series “The Fairly OddParents” and “Danny Phantom,” has embarked on a new creative journey, leveraging his talents to craft a vibrant, gospel-rooted cartoon for children. Hartman’s latest brainchild, “The Greatest Thing Ever: A Garden Cartoon Movie,” aims to introduce kids to Jesus through engaging storytelling, fun adventures, and memorable characters. This Christ-centered film follows the adventures of Lenny Lion and Lucy Lamb as they navigate the miraculous Garden, searching for the Greatest Thing Ever.
A Labor of Love
Hartman’s motivation for creating “The Greatest Thing Ever” stems from his desire to provide high-quality, faith-based content for kids. After working in Hollywood for over 40 years, he recognized a gap in the market for wholesome entertainment that teaches biblical values. With the support of his wife, Julianne, and his team at Butch Hartman Studios, Hartman brought his vision to life. The animated series and film feature catchy songs, Bible lessons, and exciting adventures designed to captivate young audiences.
Reaching Kids with the Gospel
Hartman hopes that “The Greatest Thing Ever” will build trust with parents seeking alternative content for their children. His personal experience growing up without knowledge of Jesus inspired him to create content that would help kids develop a strong faith foundation. By sharing his testimony and creative talents, Hartman aims to make it easier for families to introduce their children to Jesus. “The Greatest Thing Ever” is now available for streaming and purchase on DVD, offering a valuable resource for families seeking faith-based entertainment.
