WEBVTT - BUTCH HARTMAN: "The Greatest Thing Ever!" 0:00:04.440 --> 0:00:11.720 Hello, my friend. It is gardening season. Oh is it ever? 0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:15.760 Gardening season? An adventuring season, and I plan to be 0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:17.960 spending I don't know the next two or three, maybe 0:00:18.000 --> 0:00:24.440 four months doing little else. Nothing calms my soul, quiets 0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:31.920 my overthinking, cannot stop thinking brain. Like being in nature, 0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:39.360 working with seeds and soil, digging up plants, or exploring 0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:43.120 a trail along the river bank looking for stones. 0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:43.720 Oh my gosh. 0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:47.000 I love looking for rocks. I love taking the kids 0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:51.880 and just looking for rocks at the creek. I love miracles, 0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:56.040 great and small. I love being in God's great outdoors. 0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:58.440 I love it, love it, love it. I've got a 0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:02.240 house full of kids this summer five, much like the 0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:05.080 old lady who lived in the shoe. I am a 0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:07.880 mom and a grandmom, and I know what to do. 0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:13.240 I say, go outside, I'm coming with you. Well, okay, 0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:17.000 that's not possible twenty four to seven. So we do 0:01:17.080 --> 0:01:21.480 have to come up with other avenues of productivity and entertainment, 0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:27.640 which includes some carefully monitored scream time indulgences. Sometimes today's 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:32.640 guest is helping me to provide some mom approved options 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:37.640 to that end. Butch Hartman, an integral member, of the 0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:45.440 Animation magazine's Hall of Fame, a multiple Immy nominated animator, writer, director, producer, illustrator, 0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:49.279 and an actor who has been entertaining and inspiring kids 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:53.960 and families for four decades. Now you know him, I 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:57.440 know him for his show The Fairly Odd Parents. It 0:01:57.560 --> 0:02:02.280 debuted twenty five years ago and is Nickelodeon's second longest 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:07.520 running television series of all time, right behind SpongeBob square Pants. 0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:13.080 Hartman followed his breakout show with three more successful nick series, 0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:16.840 Do You Watch Danny Fannom, Tough Puppy, and Bunsen Is 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:23.400 a Beast. Recently, this legendary animation pioneer launched Butch Hartman 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:30.160 Studios to produce uplifting, original, faith based, and mainstream animated 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:33.960 programming for kids and families. He hit the ground running 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:39.919 with the Garden Cartoon series. Butch and his wife Julianne 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:43.480 are going to join us today to chat about a 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:49.240 Garden Cartoon movie, The Greatest Thing Ever, starring the Garden 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:53.000 Cartoon characters Lenny the Lion and Lucy the Lamb in 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:57.240 their very first full length movie. The story follows this duo, 0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:01.680 Lenny and Lucy, as they so the infinite garden to 0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:05.320 find out what the boss calls the greatest thing ever. 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:10.680 Only one problem, he doesn't tell them what the greatest 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:15.440 thing ever actually is is a pirate treasure, being a queen, 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:22.359 going to outer space, finding a dinosaur. The possibilities are endless. 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:25.960 Lenny and Lucy are on an epic search, and they 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:30.120 take the audience along with them. Will we get any 0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:33.800 clues as to what the greatest thing ever is? Let's 0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:38.880 ask Butch and his bride Julie Ann. Just after I 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:42.680 clue you into one of my greatest podcast sponsors ever. 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:47.000 Have you been looking for a milk replacement because you 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:52.000 have dairy allergies or sensitivities. Well, I found one that's 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:59.520 absolutely amazing. It's Sherry's hazel Cream, made from Oregon hazelnuts. 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:04.240 This plant based milk stands out from the competitors because 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:09.080 it's designed for cooking and baking. It all started because Sherry, 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:12.760 who could no longer tolerate dairy products, wanted to make gravy, 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:17.880 but not gravy that tasted like coconut or oatmeal. So 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:21.479 by enlisting the help of her engineer husband and a 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:25.520 friend that's a food scientist, and through much trial and error. 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:30.440 Sherry's hazel Cream was born because of a special roasting process. 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:33.880 It's very neutral and taste and works with a large 0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:38.160 variety of recipes. It comes sealed in shelf stable, easy 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:42.560 to use, pre measured portion pods that you place into 0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:46.320 your blender, add varying amounts of water to make milk 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:50.760 cream or even condensed milk for pies and other mouth 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:56.680 watering desserts. It's delicious and mashed potatoes and cakes, in 0:04:56.839 --> 0:05:03.640 creamy soups and even casserole dishees.

And now we're going 0:06:21.720 --> 0:06:25.840 to share a little bit of time talking about some 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:27.039 fun characters. 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:31.040 Yes, hey man, well I'm glad, I'm well. First of all, 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:33.560 we want to thank you because I don't think years 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:36.120 ago when you started your radio career that you realized 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:39.040 you would become a cartoon. 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:41.919 Character who also is giving advice. 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:46.039 Who also gives advice. And I think it's so great. 0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:48.240 Not many people will step out and do that, and 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:50.320 you did, and you decided to do a voice for us, 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:51.240 and we're so grateful. 0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:55.240 So you're probably best known. Well, you're best known in 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:58.520 our household for the Fairly Odd Parents. 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:01.120 Yes, that's that was like I did that show in 0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:05.320 Nickelodeon for over twenty years along with Danny Phantom and 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:07.760 Tough Puppy and Bunsen as a beast are by four 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:08.800 show to the Kelodier. 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:13.400 So, Fairly Odd Parents. What year did that debut? 0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:17.200 That debuted as a series in the year two thousand 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:19.720 and one, March of two thousand and one. It was 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:21.800 a series of short cartoons before that, but then it 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:27.200 ran for about eighteen years once it premiered. Oh, we 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:29.560 made eighteen years of new show. So it was a 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:32.960 really big full time job and a major major milestone 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:34.600 for me in a great, great, great time. 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:40.000 How much of the Fairly Odd Parents characters were based 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:42.480 on your family, Well, if you. 0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:46.960 Use the word odd, then all of them, yeah, you know, 0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:48.400 I mean they weren't really. 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:51.240 I guess they were based on I think every aspect 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:53.560 of Butch Hartman probably. 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:57.360 Yeah, I mean Timmy Turner. The boy is named after 0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:00.960 my brother Timmy, and he's a year old boy and 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:03.720 he had no power, no control, which is how I 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:05.880 felt when I was a kid. So that I wanted 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:07.320 to make a show about a kid who finally had 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:09.600 some power, so I thought I'd get him some magic friends. 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:13.240 And that's where the fairly OddParents came in, and Cosmo 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:16.640 and Wanda come in. Drew them. I drew Wanda first, 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:18.720 and then I'd never seen a fairy godfather before, so 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:21.920 I drew Cosmo and I named him Cosmo because at 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.320 the time, in the nineties, when I first created the show, 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:28.880 he had just revealed on Steinfeld that Kramer had a 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:30.600 first name and that his name was Cosmo. 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:34.680 How fun does Kramer know that? Did they know that? 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:37.880 I don't think no, I don't think Michael Richards knows that. 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:40.360 I would love to tell him someday. But so as 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:41.840 where Cosmo came from, Okay. 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:44.360 This is like an Easter egg. This is like one 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:48.000 of those sweet little hidden surprises that I. 0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:52.880 Love, absolutely see. I revealed it here to you. 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:56.400 Well, thank you, thank you for now. Let's just hope 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:59.920 he's listening. Let's hope he's a sappy love song kind 0:08:59.920 --> 0:09:00.360 of guy. 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:04.360 Well, who's not a sappy love song kind of guy? 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:06.280 Come on, we have we all have to do, right, 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:07.000 I think. 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:09.400 You know you want to know something really funny about 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:13.240 sappy love song kind of guys. My show is four 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:16.679 and about women twenty five to sixty four. That's our 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:20.360 target audience. That's the sweet spot. That's who they hope 0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:24.760 listens every night to the Delilah Show. I get more 0:09:24.920 --> 0:09:29.920 calls from men, almost two to one than I got 0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:30.800 from women. 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:33.760 Are your calls from men? They just want to know 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:35.280 the inner workings of a woman's mind. 0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:39.839 No, no, not the least bit interested. I get more 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:42.959 calls from men who just want to tell me she's 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:44.920 his rock. No. 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:47.880 Wow, well, my wife is starting with my rock, that's 0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:48.280 for sure. 0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:51.720 They do not call to complain about the acts. They 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:56.040 do not call to to share stories about the kids. 0:09:56.559 --> 0:10:00.000 They call to say she's my rock, quote unquot. 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:00.600 That's it. 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:03.520 That's all they want to say. The problem is, that's 0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:05.280 not really a compelling story. 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:09.400 Because sometimes things that are that are just so simple 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:10.280 aren't that interesting. 0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:27.280 Sometimes, right, very very not interesting. But now you have 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:31.160 a new your first fold length full feature movie out. 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:36.400 Yes, we're very thrilled. It's based on my brand new cartoon. Oh. 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:39.679 The cartoon is called The Garden Cartoon that stars Lending 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:41.400 the Lion and Lucy the lamb and they live and 0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:44.760 work in a miraculous garden where anything can grow. But 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:47.640 it's about. It teaches kids the Bible. It's about and 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:51.720 it teaches kids about scripture and how to read your 0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:53.960 Bible better. And then God comes down every day in 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:56.080 this in this garden and talks to Lenning Moussy. It 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:59.199 comes down as a rainbow and tells them, you know, 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:01.800 gives them a task to do and a new excitement, 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:04.040 and normally they don't always get it right, so they 0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:06.280 have to consult, you know, the Bible. It's like a 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:09.520 brand new Veggie Tales for the modern era, for high 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:11.960 quality kids entertainment. There's a lot of stuff out there, 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:14.600 but there needs to be more. And I thought, you know, 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:16.959 after leaving Nickelodeon, and I really love Jesus and I'm like, 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:19.640 I'm gonna make a cartoon that teaches kids about him. 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:22.439 And so we made The Garden Cartoon, which is a series. 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:26.280 It's it's all over the place now. It's on Angel Studios, 0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:30.120 it's on Apple TV, it's on Amazon. So the series 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:32.400 is out. We made a full length movie that you 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:35.559 my darling are part of, and it's called the Greatest 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:36.280 Thing Ever. 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:45.240 The greatest thing ever. And dear Delilah, no, you. 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:47.160 Know, let me tell you all. It's that you when 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:50.160 we when we when we approached you to play this character, 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:52.920 I thought, what kind of a character can I make? Delilah? 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:56.520 And all the characters in the in the cartoon have 0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:58.600 like their first name as the same letter as their 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:00.880 last name. I lend me the lion, lou see the lambs, 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:03.800 I thought, Delilah with a D I'm like a deer, 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:06.200 Dear Delilah. So I drew a picture of a deer 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:09.959 behind a radio microphone and I showed it to you, 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:11.880 and I thought, I think you reacted. How did you 0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:13.120 react when you saw that? Oh? 0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:16.400 I was thrilled. I loved it. But she, I said, 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:18.320 she she's not a blonde. 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:21.400 Yeah, we made her a blond very quickly. I read 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:25.360 her blonde. Yeah. Yeah. But it's great you came in. 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:28.160 You did a great job. And it's really funny if 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:31.280 your your deer character appears in three spots in the 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:33.960 cartoon and in the movie. We're letting Lucy here on 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:36.320 this grand quest to find the greatest thing ever, God 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:38.480 tells them, and they call God the boss, by the way, 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:40.600 because they worked for him. So the boss gives them 0:12:40.600 --> 0:12:42.320 an assignment to go find the greatest thing ever, and 0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:46.160 they're thinking, what is the jelly bean? The raccoons? Is 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:48.520 it ice cream? What is it? So we don't know 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:50.240 what it is until the very very end, which I 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:53.480 will not swell for you, but the movie is so much. 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:55.400 I'll let you in on a little secret. 0:12:56.559 --> 0:13:01.400 I read the book. You read the book already, I 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:03.920 already know the answer. Well. 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:06.160 The thing that I love about Dear Delilah, and I 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:08.200 don't even think you two knew this when you approached 0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:11.559 me and asked me, is the character that you created 0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:15.760 for the movie is like a deer and she's easily 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:19.400 distracted and she'll be talking along and then lose her 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:23.600 train of thought. What you didn't realize, or maybe you did, 0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:29.400 is that is is post metopausal adhd Delilah to a 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:32.560 t like I walk in a room and I have 0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:35.800 no idea what I'm doing there, how I got there, 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:38.840 why I'm there, what my mission is. I walk out 0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:41.160 of the room and I remember that I walked in 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:42.960 the room, you know, to get a cup of tea, 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:44.920 And then I walked back in the room, and I'm like, 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:46.480 why do I have a pear of scissors in my 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:49.000 hand and where did they come from? You know? And 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:52.520 then Dear Delilah kind of has the same. 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:58.199 Last time, the same kind of a distraction that we 0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:00.160 thought we would be really funny. As a deer, you're 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:02.080 in the middle of a question and you you're like squirrel, 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:04.600 and you stop and then go back to the question 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:06.440 and everybody's kind of waiting for you to say something, 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:09.319 and then you hop up on your desk. You're eating branches, 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:11.480 you know that type of thing. So it's really really 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:12.480 fun Also too. 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:15.160 We have obviously screamed the movie many times with our 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:17.559 own staff and everybody. 0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:20.000 Last I mean, it's it's It is probably one of 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:22.200 the funniest points in the movie. Yeah you can get 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:24.840 a big you get a big la. Yeah, so you're 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:27.120 you're a bitty hit in the movie. And so when 0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:29.880 those Deer Delilah action figures come out, you're gonna really 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:30.320 be happy. 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:33.800 I was I was going to say, like, are you 0:14:33.800 --> 0:14:37.040 guys gonna help me pick out you know which antlers 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:39.680 I'm going to wear when we're nominated. 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:44.040 For Very completely Children Emmy, or well it's a it's 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:46.480 a female deer. They don't have antlers. She's more like 0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:50.160 a forest deer, like like a white tail deer. Yeah, 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:53.160 like a grown up, like a grown up Bamby.

So you 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:03.840 did a great job. 0:15:04.280 --> 0:15:08.000 That's because I've spent years doing cartoon voices to entertain 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:13.960 children grandchildren. However, all of my cartoon voices end up 0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:17.280 sounding just like Dear Delilah. If you watch when people 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:19.840 watch the movie, if they turn it on and they 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:21.960 watch it or have their kids watch it, they're going 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:25.359 to know it's me within like seven seconds exactly. 0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:27.880 Well, actually, one group that we did scream like they said, 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:28.680 is that Delilah. 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:30.720 Ever, we're like, how did you know? 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:32.600 They said, well, how do you not know?

But if I could go back and 0:20:30.359 --> 0:20:34.960 change something, I would definitely go back and not allow 0:20:36.080 --> 0:20:39.359 the children that grew up in the last generation that 0:20:39.440 --> 0:20:43.320 I raised, not allow them so much access to screen 0:20:43.400 --> 0:20:44.520 time at a young age. 0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:46.560 Well, I can, I can certainly understand, I WI.
