''Bob the Builder'' is a British children's animated television show created by Keith Chapman. In the original series Bob appears as a building contractor specializing in masonry in a stop motion animated programme with his colleague Wendy, various neighbours and friends, and their gang of anthropomorphised work-vehicles and equipment. The show is broadcast in many countries, but originates from the United Kingdom where Bob is voiced by English actor Neil Morrissey. The show was later created using CGI animation starting with the spin-off series ''Ready, Steady, Build!''. In each episode, Bob and his group 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?"'', to which the other characters respond with ''"Yes we can!"'' This phrase is also the title of the show's theme song, which was a million-selling number one hit in the UK. In October 2014, Bob the Builder was revamped by Mattel for a new series to be aired on Channel 5's ''Milkshake!'' in 2015. Amongst the changes were a complete overhaul of the cast, with ''Harry Potter'' actor Lee Ingleby replacing Neil Morrissey as the voice of Bob, and Joanne Froggatt and Blake Harrison were also confirmed as the voices of Wendy and Scoop respectively. The setting and appearance of the characters also changed, with Bob and his team moving to the bustling metropolis of Spring City. An American localisation of the new series will debut on PBS Kids in November 2015. The changes have been censored by fans of the original version. ==Impact== ''Bob the Builder'' was nominated in the BAFTA "Pre-school animation" category from 1999 to 2009, and won the "Children's Animation" category in 2003 for the special episode "A Christmas to Remember".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Awards Database )〕 Of the show's success, Sarah Ball said: Bob the Builder has been parodied by ''Robot Chicken'' in the episode "More Blood, More Chocolate", and by ''Comedy Inc.'' as Bodgy Builder. Bob was also parodied on Cartoon Network's ''MAD'' in the episode "S'UP / Mouse M.D." In the episode when Mickey Mouse portrays Gregory House he goes to perform surgery on Bob who smashed his thumb asking similar to his famous catchphrase "Can we fix it?" Mickey then replies no and orders for it to be amputated. He later appears in another episode when Bob interacts with Manny from ''Handy Manny'' after they get into a fender bender and get into an argument with Bob saying "Stop copying my show!" He leaves then someone tells Manny he just got built. In another episode, "Kung Fu Blander / Destroy Bob the Builder Destroy", ''Mad'' parodies ''Bob the Builder'' and ''Destroy Build Destroy''. In the episode, Andrew W.K. of ''Destroy Build Destroy'', is portrayed as being a jerk towards Bob. Andrew destroys everything Bob builds. In the end, Bob transforms his construction vehicles into Build-Tron (a parody of Voltron). A New Yorker cartoon shows a parent in a toy store asking for toys depicting ''Alex the Architect'', supposedly a white-collar equivalent to ''Bob the Builder''. Some have complained about technical errors and lack of proper safety practices in the programme, especially the absence of protective eyewear.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= FLUID POWER SAFETY INSTITUTE - Toy Safety - ATTENTION PARENTS! - Bob the Builder Alert! )Archived from the original on 11 October 2009.〕 However, in later episodes, Bob is seen using safety glasses. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bob the Builder」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
