Stewart began his career working with two of the biggest media icons known in family entertainment – Mr. Haim Saban of Saban Entertainment and Mr. Joseph Barbera of Hanna-Barbera Productions.
Winner of the prestigious Humanitas Prize for Excellence in Screenwriting for his episode of The Legend of Prince Valiant that dealt with the sensitive subject of child abuse, Stewart was also a Young Artist Awards winner for his episode of ABC’s Sabrina: The Animated Series, while his original feature film Seventeen Again was nominated in the category.
Having written and produced some of the most successful and beloved family-friendly properties seen around the world — including Disney’s Seventeen Again, Marvel’s The Incredible Hulk, Saban’s Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (as story editor and writer), Sabrina: The Animated Series, Inspector Gadget and many more — Stewart is proud to present his own stable of exciting new characters for the next generation produced through Wonkybot.
Stewart is the creative force behind the Tremendous Universe, an ever-expanding library of original characters and shows including the Parents’ Choice Award-winning Tara Tremendous franchise, Tremendous Boy, Master Machine, Ultra Velocity, the Webby Award Honoree series Origins Unknown, the supernatural Spooky Troop series, the uplifting The Owlsteins, super villain comedy The Dr. Epicopolis & 1102 Show of Shows, and many more.
He’s also working on the first of three Tara Tremendous books in a multi-book publishing deal with Simon & Schuster imprint Andrew McMeel out in 2025.
As a composer, music producer, songwriter and lyricist, and a voting member of the Recording Academy (GRAMMYS®), Stewart infuses all of his original properties with songs and music, working closely with music partner Michael Plahuta.
Stewart adapted his Tara Tremendous series into a stage musical, and co-composed 20 original songs with Michael. The shows were performed as live musical concerts at 54 Below in NYC and other venues, starring Micky Dolenz (The Monkees), Annie Golden (Netflix’ Orange Is The New Black) and a host of other Broadway stars. Stewart is now working with several studios and networks to license, exploit, develop and expand his IP into the world of television, film and games – most recently working with Ted Field’s Radar Pictures and Marc Platt Productions on different projects.
