3 unusual facts about Bob Godfrey


Bob Godfrey

The use of cutout animation for the narrator pre-dates Terry Gilliam's use of the technique, and the film is often mis-credited as being produced by Gilliam.

He appeared on a number of programs and documentaries on animation over the years, including the BBC 2 documentary The Craftsmen and the documentary series Animation Nation, shown on BBC Four in 2005.

He is probably best known for the children's cartoon series Roobarb (1974-2006), Noah and Nelly in... SkylArk (1976-77) and Henry's Cat (1983-95) and for the Trio chocolate biscuit advertisements shown in the UK during the early 1980s.
