A cartoon series that aims to teach children about God and the Bible, has been launched by Butch Hartman, the creator of the hit Nickelodeon show The Fairly OddParents.
Hartman and his wife Julieann has launched the 40-episode cartoon “The Garden,” along with an app and a companion Bible that includes illustrations of the characters from the series.
The first six episodes were recently released on PureFlix, Yippee and Christian Cinema.
“Our point is to get Scripture as early into the hearts of children as we can,” Butch told The Christian Post.
The main characters in “The Garden” are Lenny the lion and Lucy the lamb, who have conversations with God daily. The two live in a garden and are given assignments or tasks by God, which require them to reflect on Scripture. Bible verses are shared throughout the cartoon, with the expectation that children will memorise these verses.
