Advantages: A cool cartoon, Educational
Disadvantages: None
I reckon he might start hanging out with other celebs and trashing hotel rooms. Bob the builder is a pop star. Its official. Bob who once made his ends meet with a trowel and a few bricks can now be seen on most top 40 shows at a weekend strutting his stuff while poorly covering Shaggy songs. Now, Im not knocking Bob's creative genius but someone needs to have a word with him. His career as an international pop star is doomed unless he comes up with some original material. Bob the Builder as opposed to Bob the Pop star is an ingenius stroke of animation and entertainment that keeps small children glued to the TV. There is a website to find out more about Bob. www.bobthebuilder.org Its full of info and small Flash animation games for children. Very Useful. Setting. Bob is a construction worker who, well, builds things. He is not alone in his building skills though. He has many friends on the building site. his main friends are machinery and tools. One of his friends, Wendy, he has a special soft spot for. Wendy is more like Bob's girlfriend. Pichard is bobs Cat. He is Blue which is quite worrying. I think he must have had an accident with one of the decorators on one of Bob's building sites. Spud is a strange character. He looks like he has an onion for his head. He is another of Bob's helpers. He looks more like a tramp than anything. A bit scary looking for the kids. apparently he is a scarecrow. Gets into all sorts of mischief by winding the others up. Roley is a steam roller who, well, rolls things. His best friend is called Bird and lives on the roof. Roley and Bird sing duets! Muck is a cross between a bulldozer and a dumper truck. Muck is also a girl and likes to get dirty. I know a few other girls like Muck! lol Lofty is a crane who is just a big chicken. He has no confidence and al
ways seems to scared to do anything. Dizzy is a mad cement mixer always up for some fun. She is quite young in thinking. Well suited to her target audience. Scoop is a digger that likes to dig. He always seems to say "No Probs Bob!" There are other characters around the village. Farmer Pickles is a moustache wearing, um, er, well, Farmer! Mrs Percival is a local teacher. No doubt underpaid and underqualified. Mrs Potts is another bored housewife. I wonder if Bob does mates rates? lol Seriously though, Bob the builder is a truly good cartoon for the kids. They all seem to love it and its quite educational. Try out that websote or even visit: www.nickjr.com/kids/html_site/bob_the_builder/inde x.jhtml This is another educational Bob site.
