Roland Frederick Godfrey MBE was an English animator whose career spanned more than fifty years. He is probably best known for the children's cartoon series Roobarb, Noah and Nelly in... SkylArk and Henry's Cat and for the Trio chocolate biscuit advertisements shown in the UK during the early 1980s. However, he also produced a BAFTA and Academy award-winning short film Great, a tongue-in-cheek biography of Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Further Academy Awards nominations received were for Kama Sutra Rides Again, Dream Doll, with Zlatko Grgic, and Small Talk.
