Badly Drawn Roy - Part 1

The film is set in a working class suburb of Dublin. Roy, Ireland's only animated character was born into an ordinary 'live action' family. This fly on the wall documentary film allows exclusive access into Roy's life where we learn of the prejudices he must overcome on a daily basis.

The animation in this film is better than the TV series.

This is truly impressive! I really like the concept of this documentary and I love Roy's animation and voice. I also like how this uses a combination of hand-drawn animation and live-action footage. Roy's interaction with live-action objects is incredibly realistic! I like how the cushions move when Roy slightly fidgets about.

Who would have thought that this eventually became a prequel TV series on CBBC which shows Roy as an 11-year-old?

This original version of Roy is brilliant but I can understand the changes made to make it into a children's series. The new format is aimed at a more suitable target audience for animation and the situation has more scope for material.

The original version is more intelligent and subtle in it's humour but I don't think the old Roy could have had as many adventures as the new version of Roy. Well done to everyone involved.
