Bob Davies

Rob Davies was born in 1968 in Vancouver, B.C., Canada to loving and patient parents, Gordon and Pauline Davies. As child, Rob spent the spring and summer months in the seaside town of White Rock, B.C., speaking English as one might expect. In the fall and winter, however, the small, pale lad spent his time in the shrimping town of San Felipe, Baja, Mexico, eating fish tacos and speaking Spanish...as one would expect. Fast forward, past high school and terrible test grades...Rob received his post high school education in fine arts and animation. After that he was given an opportunity to work on the televised animated series, Beetlejuice, where he cut his teeth. After many more shows and pencil miles, Rob then moved south again to warmer climes. NotMexico this time, but Los Angeles, the city of angels. In L.A., he was employed by Warner Brothers to storyboard on the hit series Pinky and the Brain. After a season of boards, Rob was asked to direct alongside Nelson Recinos, his former director. Together they headed up two stellar animation crews who's hard work and extreme talent won the series the coveted Emmy Award. Today, with an Emmy safely behind glass near him, Rob sits at the helm of one of Canada's finest animation studios, Atomic Cartoons, along with partners Mauro Casalese, Trevor Bentley, and Rob Simmons. Together with the help of 250 of Vancouver's most talented people under the roof, they have built a little animation powerhouse that has successfully produced over 800 half hours of animated goodness including four proprietary series, the greatest success being Atomic Betty, created by Rob and his Atomic Cartoons partners and seen in over 120 territories.
