Production
[edit]Cartoon Pizza, producer of Stanley and PB& J Otter, introduced Hoop Dogz, a video series based on the Ten Commandments, and has other faith-based properties in the works. "We couldnt afford to spend our time and sizable investment on this unless there was a chance for success", says David Campbell, ceo/co-founder, with Jim Jinkins, of Cartoon Pizza. On the other hand, "its dicey, he adds, noting that few people have been able to establish faith-based franchises."[3]
"We can understand the concerns [of the Christian audience]. We are members of that audience", says Campbell. "But even though [Hoop Dogz is] religious in nature, we dont want to be preachy. Its just the next step, a more religious incarnation of what weve been doing. We think its the funniest thing weve done yet."[3]
Reception
[edit]The series is Dove approved, they state "The show is designed to help parents teach their kids God's truths through laughter, music and great storytelling! The Hoop Dogz learn how important lessons about 4 of the 10 commandments that pertain to their lives in today's world."[4]
