Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies. This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of films). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue).

Comment: Only the Animation World Network source is (probably) independent, but that is a trivial mention of the film, very far from constituting significant coverage. The other sources are primary and/or non-independent. "Dove" is a review-on-request service, and does not appear to be independent; even if it were, it would not serve to show notability.The sections "Production" and "Reception" are entirely promotional. bonadea contributions talk 17:24, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Production
editCartoon 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
editThe 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]
