Represented by Team Stewart Entertainment

Julie and Scott Stewart run Team Stewart Entertainment, the Vancouver studio behind Kate & Mim-Mim, Rev & Roll and LEGO Friends: The Next Chapter. Their earlier studio, SpeakeasyFX, produced Abby's Flying Fairy School for Sesame Workshop, a series that won an Emmy and two Kidscreen Awards.

The Treebees came first. The Melobies was built from it, reusing 80% of the Treebees assets, which is why the two shows share a look and a song library. The Treebees channel now carries both as Treebees & Friends, and Team Stewart represents them as a pair for worldwide distribution.
