'''''Bob the Builder''''' is a British animated [[children's television series]] created by [[Keith Chapman]] for [[HIT Entertainment]] which ran from {{Start date|1999|04|12|df=y}} to {{end date|2011|12|31|df=y}} in the United Kingdom on the [[BBC]], first on [[BBC One]] and later [[CBeebies]]. The series centres on the adventures and escapades of a [[general contractor]] named [[Bob the Builder (character)|Bob]] who owns a team of [[Anthropomorphism|anthropomorphised]] construction vehicles that go about their day helping out with construction work in several towns.

The show used [[stop-motion]] animation for most of the series as well as ''Project: Build It'', provided by [[Hot Animation]] in Manchester. The series changed to [[Computer-generated imagery|CGI]] animation in 2010 for its final two seasons; titled ''Ready, Steady, Build!'', of which [[SD Entertainment]] completed animation production.

Following the series' conclusion, HIT Entertainment was purchased by US toy company [[Mattel]] for $680 million.<ref>BBC Radio Four commentary by [[Gerald Scarfe]] 8 March 2013; [https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/b01r12ln]{{dead link|date=September 2025|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> In October 2014, the company announced a [[Bob the Builder (2015 TV series)|new series]] that would feature changes in the setting, casting and character designs. The revival aired on [[Channel 5 (UK)|Channel 5]]'s ''[[Milkshake!]]'' for three series from 2015–2018, and was severely criticised by fans of the original version.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Why some people are very angry about the new Bob the Builder |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/new-bob-the-builder-twitter-reacts-to-characters-modern-makeover-9790794.html |date=13 October 2014 |website=The Independent |language=en |access-date=2015-10-29}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Bob The Builder's Makeover Angers Fans |url=http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014/10/14/bob-the-builder-s-makeover-angers-fans_n_7321336.html |website=The Huffington Post UK |date=14 October 2014 |access-date=2015-11-19}}</ref> An animated theatrical movie adaptation of the series was announced in January 2024; it will be produced by [[Jennifer Lopez]]’s [[Nuyorican Productions]] and star [[Anthony Ramos]] as the voice of Bob.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://deadline.com/2024/01/mattel-films-anthony-ramos-jennifer-lopez-bob-the-builder-animated-film-1235803932/|title='Bob The Builder' Animated Film In Works From Anthony Ramos, Jennifer Lopez, Mattel Films & ShadowMachine; Ramos Voicing Title Character|date=25 January 2024 |publisher=Deadline}}</ref>

==Premise==
In each episode, Bob and his group help with renovations, construction, and repairs and with other projects as needed. They are also joined by work colleague Wendy, alongside their neighbours and friends. The action is set in Bobsville; with Sunflower Valley and Fixham Harbour introduced in later seasons. 

The show emphasises [[conflict resolution]], co-operation, socialisation, 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 [[Can We Fix It?|theme song]], which was a million-selling number one hit in the UK.

In May 2005, a sort of spin-off series was released titled ''Bob the Builder: Project: Build It''. Bob hears of a contest to build a new community in a remote area called Sunflower Valley, outside of Bobsville. He moves from Bobsville (supposedly temporarily) with Wendy and the machines and builds a new Yard there. Bob convinces his father, Robert, to come out of retirement and take over the Bobsville building business. It is unknown whether Bob returned to Bobsville in the stop-motion series or not after this spin-off series was finished.

For the US version of the ''Project: Build It'' series, different actors were found to do the voices for many of the human characters, including casting [[Greg Proops]] as the new voice of Bob, and [[Rob Rackstraw]], who played the original voices of Scoop, Muck and Travis, to be the voices of Spud the Scarecrow and Mr. Bentley for both the UK and the US. The show also added recycling and being [[environmentally friendly]] to its lessons, emphasising the phrase "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle."

This series premiered on 2 May 2005 in the United Kingdom and 3 September of the same year in the United States, and was the first series made in HD [[1080p]].

=== ''Ready, Steady, Build!'' ===
The third spin-off was titled ''Bob the Builder: Ready, Steady, Build!'' It was created by [[Keith Chapman]] and [[Mallory Lewis]]. The group, now joined by newcomer Scratch are now residing in the town of Fixham Harbour (which is very similar to Bobsville, and is even implied to be Bobsville in several episodes), deal with construction and other building tasks around the area. Unlike the previous series, ''Ready, Steady, Build!'' is animated in full [[Computer animation|CGI animation]], which allows for larger and more elaborate construction projects that would be too large or expensive for the model sets of the stop-motion series, though it still retains the theme song.<ref name="RSB">{{Cite web |title=Bob the Builder: Ready, Steady, Build! |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00s41sk |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100425125830/http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00s41sk |url-status=dead |archive-date=25 April 2010 |access-date=27 August 2010 |publisher=British Broadcasting Corporation}}</ref>

==International broadcasts==
''Bob the Builder'' is shown in more than thirty countries, and versions are available in English, French, Spanish, Serbian, Swedish, Slovenian, German, Italian, Dutch, Hebrew, Hindi, and Croatian, among other languages. It was shown on [[CBeebies]] on [[BBC]] television in the UK. It has also aired on [[Nick Jr. (British and Irish TV channel)|Nick Jr.]] in the UK.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Fielding |first1=James |title=Bob the Builder becomes children's role model in China |url=https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/175379/Bob-the-Builder-becomes-children-s-role-model-in-China |access-date=16 December 2020 |agency=[[Daily Express|Express]] |date=16 May 2010}}</ref>

The North American version of the show uses the original British footage and script, but replaces the voices with American accents and verbiage; for example, "[[wrench]]" is used instead of "spanner", owing to the former's use in North America. The original North American voice of Bob (and Farmer Pickles/Mr. Beasley/Mr. Sabatini) was [[William Dufris]]; he was replaced with comedian [[Greg Proops]]. More recently, Bob's US voice has been provided by [[Marc Silk]], an English voice actor from [[Birmingham]].<ref name="SilkTV">{{Cite web |title=Silk TV |url=http://www.marcsilk.com/silktv/silktv.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100325135716/http://www.marcsilk.com/silktv/silktv.html |archive-date=25 March 2010 |access-date=7 April 2010}}</ref><ref name="MarcSilk">{{Cite web |title=Marc Silk |url=http://www.marcsilk.com/ |access-date=7 April 2010}}</ref> In the United States, the series first aired during the [[Nick Jr. (TV programming block)|Nick Jr.]] block (from 2001 to 2004) before moving to [[PBS Kids]] for a long run, from January 1, 2005<ref>{{cite web |last1=Everhart |first1=Karen |title=PBS, producers, Comcast wed to create digital kids' channel |url=https://current.org/2004/11/pbs-producers-comcast-wed-to-create-digital-kids-channel/ |website=Current |access-date=21 January 2024 |date=1 November 2004}}</ref> through November 6, 2015, after which it was replaced with the [[Bob the Builder (2015 TV series)|2015 reboot]].<ref name="pbsreboot">{{cite web |title=Watch Bob the Builder KLRU TV Schedule KLRU-TV, Austin PBS |url=http://www.klru.org/program/bob-the-builder/ |website=www.klru.org |access-date=21 January 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151104015431/http://www.klru.org/program/bob-the-builder/ |archive-date=4 November 2015 |date=4 November 2015 |url-status=dead}}</ref> [[Qubo]] also started airing the show from 7 October 2020 through 28 February 2021 due to the channel's closure, but with the original British English dub.

==Impact==
''Bob the Builder'' was nominated in the [[British Academy of Film and Television Arts|BAFTA]] "Pre-school animation" category from 1999 to 2009,{{failed verification|date=April 2016}} and won the "Children's Animation" category in 2003 for the special episode "A Christmas to Remember".<ref>{{Cite web |title=Awards Database |url=http://www.bafta.org/awards-database.html?pageNo=1&year=2002 |access-date=27 November 2010}}</ref> Of the show's success, Sarah Ball said:
{{blockquote|I think diggers and dumpers fascinate kids in the same way that they are drawn to dinosaurs. They both have a timeless appeal. The technique of stop motion is very tangible - the characters look like you can just pick them up and play with them. It’s a safe, lovely, bright, colourful world, which is very appealing. [[Curtis Jobling]] did a fantastic job designing the show - it’s very simple and stylized but has such charm.

''Bob the Builder'' has been parodied by ''[[Robot Chicken]]'' in the episode "[[Robot Chicken (season 3)#ep48|More Blood, More Chocolate]]", and by ''[[Comedy Inc. (Australian TV series)|Comedy Inc.]]'' as ''Bodgy Builder''.

Bob has also been parodied on Cartoon Network's ''[[Mad (TV series)|MAD]]'' on several occasions. In the episode "S'UP / Mouse M.D.", Bob is seen with a smashed thumb and asks "Can we fix it?" In another episode, Bob encounters the title character of ''[[Handy Manny]]'', whom he tells to "Stop copying my show!"

A [[The New Yorker|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.<ref>{{Cite web |title=FLUID POWER SAFETY INSTITUTE - Toy Safety - ATTENTION PARENTS! - Bob the Builder Alert!<!-- Bot generated title --> |url=http://www.fluidpowersafety.com/sfty_toy1.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20021105120445/http://www.fluidpowersafety.com/sfty_toy1.html |archive-date=5 November 2002}}Archived from the original on 11 October 2009.</ref> However, in later episodes, Bob is seen using [[safety glasses]].
