Our first guest announcement for Toon Con is the amazing creator and executive producer of some of your favorite cartoons, Butch Hartman!
Michigan native Butch Hartman remembers wanting to create cartoons as far back as kindergar- ten. “I drew a picture of my teacher and she kept raving about it. I realized art was a good way to get attention and I was hooked,” said Hartman. He recently left Nickelodeon after 20 years where he spearheaded four successful series including: The Fairly OddParents, Danny Phan- tom, T.U.F.F. Puppy and Bunsen is a Beast.
Hartman began working on Nickelodeon’s Oh Yeah, Cartoons! where he created a new short, The Fairly OddParents. The short was then developed into an animated series and became a mega-hit for the network when it launched in 2001. The Fairly OddParents ranks as Nickelodeon’s third longest running animated series, behind SpongeBob SquarePants and Dora the Explorer. The rest is history with the creation of more shows!
In 2015 Hartman and his wife Julieann also launched their own online kid’s destination called “THE NOOG NETWORK”. An interactive app featuring cartoons, live-action shows and games for kids. Butch has partnered with the entertainment company Pocketwatch and in June of 2019 he launched his latest cartoon creation “Hobby Kids Adventures” which aired on You Tube as part of the Hobby Kids TV channel. They have produced ‘THE GARDEN’ – about biblical lessons told through the adventures of Lenny Lion and Lucy Lamb who live in a magical garden and ‘THE BIG BLUE BOOK’, a show about how kids can learn to solve problems with the help of their friends.
