Rob Davies Email & Phone Number

I've worked in the animation field for 30+ years, in a variety of positions. From designer to storyboard artist, storyboard supervisor, art director, director, producer, executive producer, series creator, studio owner, and just about everything in between. I was very fortunate during my role as director at Warner Bros to win the coveted Emmy Award for directing, and a Prism Award for my storyboard work, on Pinky and the Brain. I also co-created and co-produced the hit series Atomic Betty which proudly aired on Teletoon in Canada, M6 in France, Cartoon Network in the U.S. and UK, and in over 107 countries. It was nominated for multiple Canadian Screen Awards, Leo Awards, and the prestigious British Academy of Film and Television Arts award.Although no longer affiliated with the studio, I am one of the original founders of Atomic Cartoons, which has been going strong for over 25 years and is now part of Thunderbird’s dynamic group of companies. Today I am a proud partner in Slap Happy Cartoons, one of Vancouver’s finest animation studios, and one of the longest running artist-owned-and-operated shops on the continent. We are currently in development (for CBC) on the animated Beachcombers with our project partners, Maximum Effort. I’ve had the honour and great fortune to have been involved with clients such as Netflix, Warner Bros., Marvel, Nickelodeon, Hasbro, Nelvana, Mainframe, PBS, Mattel, Spinmaster, EOne, Cookie Jar, Sony/Sunbow, Klasky Csupo, and Disney...to name but a few.Still getting my hands dirty in the trenches and keeping the skills and pencil sharp, my most recent animation roles have been supervising storyboards on Nickelodeon’s Bossy Bear, PBS' award-winning series, Molly Of Denali' and Spin Master Entertainment's Mighty Express, airing on Netflix.
