Home Plate Entertainment was launched in 2010 by four-time Emmy® Award winning animation industry veteran Bill Schultz (The Simpsons, King of the Hill, Garfield & Friends, Ed, Edd & Eddy, Clifford the Big Red Dog, He Man Masters of the Universe, Hero 108).

The series colorfully and imaginatively brings mindfulness to the fore for a young pre-school generation of viewers. Based on FWY’s globally beloved creative, it has been announced that the series has been picked up by Netflix for a 3rd season.
