, b. 1965
Earlmer Earl “Butch” Hartman IV is an American animator, illustrator, YouTuber, and voice actor. During his studies at the California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, CA, he participated in some major projects, inter alia: My Little Pony (Hasbro Studios) and Pocahontas (Walt Disney Pictures). However, his input was not significant. After gaining relevant experience working for these companies, he started to work for other big animation companies, like Hanna-Barbera and Cartoon Network. Not being recognized right away, Hartman’s famous works came later in his career: T.U.F.F. Puppy (TV-series, 2010–2015), Bunsen is a Beast (TV-series, 2004–2009; 2017–2018), and The Fairly OddParents (TV-series, 2001–2017). Currently, Hartman runs his own company Billionfold Inc. (which produced The Fairly OddParents for Nickelodeon), as well as the YouTube channel: Hobby Family TV (link; formerly – HobbyKids Adventures). He lives with his family in Bell Canyon, California.
