Halibut Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 The animator who brought us the wobbly joy of Roobard has died aged 91 years. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-21552718 It was an inspired creation - as was Henry's Cat - that enriched my childhood and teenage years.

Lynchee Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I totally misread that as Bob Geldof and thought "holy *****!!" Haha, dyslexia moment! I don't know this Bob, but RIP to him and thoughts to his family and friends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vague_Boy Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 He did a nice line in humorous adult cartoons. Dream Doll was a version of the French film The Red Balloon. Rather sweet really. He also did the children's show Noah and Nelly in SkylArk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
