Bob the Builder: The Movie/Trivia

Here are some trivia facts about Bob the Builder: The Movie.

Trivia

 * The film uses the original designs for the Bob the Builder characters, as well as the movie-exclusive characters and new designs for Ace, Two-Tonne, and Tread (all three of them originally appeared in the reboot) that maintain the look and feel of the original stop-motion series.
 * This is the first time in Bob the Builder history since Bob's Big Bounce that the original designs for the Bob the Builder characters were used.
 * This movie marks the very first time Scratch (from Ready, Steady, Build!) was seen in stop-motion.
 * The film confirms that Ready, Steady, Build! is indeed non-canon to the stop motion series, as even though Scratch is seen joining the team in Scratch's Hidden Treasures, the beginning of it shows that the day Scratch was introduced to the Can-Do Crew is also his first day with Bob and his team.
 * CHF Entertainment and Gigglefish Animation Studios provided stop-motion animation for the film, using the original character designs from the original era and emulating the same stop-motion style as that of Seasons 4-16 (while using the multi-camera technique used in the Project: Build It! spin-off/continuation) as closely as possible.
 * This is thus the first Bob the Builder production since Race to the Finish from 2008 to utilize stop-motion animation.
 * A video game known as Bob the Builder: The Game was released a few weeks after the movie, and was developed and published by Ubisoft. It was based on the events of the film and is the first Bob the Builder video game to be released since Festival of Fun! in 2009.
 * This is the first Bob the Builder production to be filmed in the 2.35:1 aspect ratio; previously, Bob the Builder was filmed in 1.33:1 (Season 1 and 1st two music videos) and in 1:85:1 (Season 2 onward).
 * This is Mattel's first feature film to be based on a HIT Entertainment property.
 * This is the first (and only) time that Keith Hopwood had collaborated with someone on the score.
 * A soundtrack and a novelization were released to promote the movie.
