One comes from a concept based on Hartman\u2019s own creation, while a second is being developed directly from an original idea from pocket.watch\u2019s existing development slate. A third series features siblings from the popular YouTube channel HobbyKidsTV, which was named pocket.watch\u2019s first creator partner in April.<\/p>\n<p>As part of his non-exclusive three-year deal, Hartman will also be named senior creative consultant. In this role, he will be responsible for providing creative input regarding pocket.watch\u2019s digital channels, creator partnerships and premium content.<\/p>\n<p>As the first series fast-tracked by pocket.watch,\u00a0<em>HobbyKids Adventures<\/em>\u00a0will feature the animated exploits of three brothers from the YouTube channel HobbyKidsTV. Transformed into cartoons by Hartman, HobbyPig, HobbyFrog and HobbyBear (and his alter ego HobbyHuge) are able to go anywhere and in any genre in their time-bending Giant Egg, which is modeled after the Giant Surprise Egg from the HobbyKidsTV YouTube channel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur vision is to build the ultimate kids\u2019 media brand that combines attributes from both digital and traditional entertainment and Butch is the perfect person to help get us there,\u201d said Chris M. Williams, the founder and CEO of pocket.watch. \u201cButch\u2019s passion for creating content across all platforms that resonates with kids is palpable and I can\u2019t wait to work alongside him to bring not one but three series to market.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cButch Hartman is a creative force that has an uncanny ability to develop worlds that make kids stop, take notice and laugh out loud,\u201d added Hecht. \u201cI am thrilled to once again be working together on an entirely new slate of exciting properties, including our animated series for HobbyKidsTV.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn my long-spanning animation career, I\u2019ve been able to bring so many different stories to life and I can\u2019t wait to be able to do the same for <em>HobbyKids Adventures<\/em>,\u201d Hartman remarked. \u201cWhat pocket.watch is creating is a true testament to what entertainment kids love today and I am thrilled to be a part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Butch Hartman, the\u00a0creator of Fairly OddParents and Danny Phantom, has teamed up with pocket.watch to create and produce three new animated series alongside the company\u2019s chief content officer, Albie Hecht.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":477,"featured_media":13265,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[3160,2274,3161,2567],"class_list":["post-13262","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-albie-hecht","tag-butch-hartman","tag-hobbykids-adventures","tag-pocket-watch","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Fairly OddParents Creator &amp;
