鲍伯·加德弗瑞，Roland Frederick Godfrey (born 27 May 1921) is a British animator whose career spans more than fifty years. He is probably best known for the children's cartoon series Roobarb (1974), Noah and Nelly in... SkylArk (1977) and Henry's Cat (1983) and for the Trio chocolate biscuit advertisements shown in the UK during the early 1980s. However, he has also produced a BAFTA and Academy award-winning short film Great (1975), a tongue-in-cheek biography of Isambard Kingdom Brunel. He was previously nominated for a Academy Award for his film Kama Sutra Rides Again (1971) which was screened with the UK release of Stanley Kubrick's film A Clockwork Orange. Further Academy Awards nominations were received for Dream Doll (1980), with Zlatko Grgic, and Small Talk (1994).He worked at Larkins Studio for a period with Peter Sachs before leaving to set up Biographic with Keith Learner, Jeff Hale. Further members joined including Nancy Hanna and Vera Linnecar. While still working at Larkins he made Big Parade (1952) and Watch the Birdie (1954), a film inspired by a painting by Paul Klee, both were filmed in the basement of his flat.He subsequently made Do It Yourself Cartoon Kit which satirises animation and commercial advertising. The use of different animated forms, materials and techniques makes it one of his most exciting films to watch. 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. Michael Bentine provided the narration for the film and worked with Godfrey on a number of films and commercials.Most of Godfrey's animated work during the 1950s and 1960s appeared in TV commercials, but in 1964 he started his own company Bob Godfrey's Movie Emporium to develop his own creative projects including the famous children's cartoons. He is also recognised for a number of slightly risqué cartoons satirising British sexual habits, such as Henry 9 To 5, which was also awarded a BAFTA
