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.
