Bob the Builder
Bob the Builder is a stop-motion animated children's TV programme concerning the adventures of a British construction contractor and his friends.The programme features the eponymous Bob (voiced by actor Neil Morrissey in the English original), his colleage Wendy, various neighbours and friends, and their gang of anthropomorphised work-vehicles and equipment. In each episode they help with renovations, construction, and repairs, and with other projects as needed. The show emphasizes conflict resolution, co-operation, socialization, and various learning skills.
Bob's catchphrase is "Can we fix it? Yes, we can!". This phrase is also the title of the show's themesong; the song itself reached the top of the UK singles chart in 2001.
The show is produced in the UK by Hit Entertainment, and draws heavily on claymation techniques such as those pioneered by Art Clokey and more recently on the successful works of Aardman Animations. It is shown in more than thirty countries, and versions are available in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, and Dutch. It is shown on BBC television in the UK, and on Nickelodeon in the US and Canada.
