The Greatest Thing Ever Releases

BMG-Global has released The Greatest Thing Ever: A Garden Cartoon Movie, a faith-based animated film from Butch Hartman (The Fairly OddParents, Danny Phantom).

The movie follows Lenny Lion and Lucy Lamb as they journey through the Garden on a quest to find “The Greatest Thing Ever,” a mysterious treasure that “the Boss” has challenged them to discover. Through their adventure, they realize that life’s most valuable treasures cannot be held in their paws.

The film, produced by Garden Productions, is created, executive produced and directed by Hartman. It features the voices of James Arnold Taylor (The King of Kings, Star Wars: The Clone Wars), Cristina Milizia (The Casagrandes), Brian Stivale (Return), iHeart radio personality Delilah, Katie Leigh (Muppet Babies) and Hillary Phillips (The Big Blue Book).

The movie is available on major digital platforms and DVD.

“Children are naturally curious about big questions; this film meets them where they are,” said Steve Bulzoni, executive VP of BMG-Global. “The Greatest Thing Ever: A Garden Cartoon Movie embodies our mission to create faith-based entertainment that children connect with emotionally. Lenny and Lucy’s discovery about what truly matters in life speaks directly to the spiritual growth we hope to nurture in young audiences.”

“As the demand for content that bridges entertainment with spiritual themes increases, The Greatest Thing Ever: A Garden Cartoon Movie is another example of how BMG-Global is addressing that audience’s need,” Hartman said. “This movie encompasses all the components that family audiences enjoy and that I have become known for over the past couple of decades: adventure, spectacle, humor, working toward a goal, suspense—all fortified by foundational messages of family connection and positive values. I’m thrilled with the result, and I think families all around the world will be too.”

“This project invites viewers to ‘discover where the Gospel grows’ through characters and storytelling that appeal across generations,” Bulzoni added. “We believe Butch Hartman’s creative vision and BMG’s distribution mission create the perfect partnership to deliver this important message to families this summer.”
