HIT Entertainment, one of the world’s leading independent children’s entertainment producers and rights owner of Bob the Builder, is hosting the star-studded event to mark a milestone for the popular children’s character including an exclusive preview of the new CG animated television series. Bob the Builder made his first television appearance on BBC Children in the UK on 9th September 1999, followed by Nick Jr later that month. The show gained an immediate audience amongst preschoolers, going on to become one of the UK’s most high-profile and popular shows. In 2000, Bob the Builder made an unprecedented move into music by releasing his signature theme-song “Can We Fix it?” which reached No.1 in the UK pop charts, knocking off Westlife and Eminem for the top spot. Today Bob the Builder is broadcast in 250 territories worldwide and has been translated into more than 45 languages from Icleandic to Italian! Almost 260 episodes have been produced across 16 series and 5 feature-length specials which feature 57 human and vehicle characters. Bob the Builder has earned more than $4 billion in global retail sales to date and has worked with Elton John, Chris Evans, Donny Osmond and has even met the Queen! In 2010 Bob the Builder will move into CG animation with the launch of a new television series and a new 60-minute feature-length special Legend of the Golden Hammer. |
