A beast and a human form an unlikely friendship in Nickelodeon's newest animated series Bunsen is a Beast, premiering on Nickelodeon Australia and New Zealand on Monday 5th June 2017 at 4:30pm (AU; NZ time TBA)!! Created and executive produced by Butch Hartman (The Fairly OddParents), the 20-episode series follows the adventures of Bunsen, the first beast to attend a human grade school, and his best friend Mikey. Following the shows debut, new episodes will air regularly weekdays at 4:30pm (AU).
Bunsen is a Beast tells the story of Bunsen and Mikey, two new friends who embark on endless fun and adventures in their town of Muckledunk. As the first beast ever to attend a middle school for human kids, Bunsen feels the pressure to succeed and prove to the world that monsters can live among humans…and they won't eat everyone for lunch. With help from Mikey, Bunsen will learn how to accomplish human world tasks, like, doing homework, eating ice cream, and riding the bus. In turn, Mikey will learn to navigate the Beast World and meet all the weird and wonderful beasts that reside there.
In the series premiere, "Bunsen is a Beast!", Bunsen attends his first day of human middle school in hopes to prove that beasts and humans can happily co-exist. Then, in "Body and the Beast", Bunsen literally loses his head on picture day and Mikey has to help him find it before picture time.
Next, in "Hide and Go Freak" / Bunsen Screams for Ice Cream", premiering on Tuesday 6th June 2017, Bunsen, Mikey, and Amanda (disguised as a beast) play the beast version of Hide and Go Seek in Bunsen's house. Then, Bunsen's love of ice-cream almost gets him expelled.
Then, in "Bearly Acceptable Behavior" / "Beast Busters", Amanda tries to get Bunsen kicked out of school when he brings a dangerous bear to class. Later, Bunsen and Mikey have to save Amanda from mischievous Sneeze Beasts that escape from Bunsen's nose.

In addition to his work with Nickelodeon, Hartman has also created the Noog Network, a mobile app that features interactive games, cartoons and live shows. “I kind of never stop. I never sleep. I just like to draw and put ideas down. And every idea that Nickelodeon doesn’t buy I put on the Noog Network,” explains Hartman. He notes that Noog is a good place to try out new ideas and see how they go over in a short amount of time.
